Party

So there is a rumour going around that I'm a little bit bat crazy. Well, I'm hoping this will put your mind at ease - that I certainly am. It was my lovely Libby's 6th birthday, and it was George's 6th birthday just a few days early. (George is my neighbours Spinone doggy). So of course I decided we should have a joint party. I made a doggy birthday cake, iced with pate - yummy, doggy biscuits and human cupcakes. We (that is the dogs) played pass the parcel. They were very underwhelmed and I did most of the unwrapping (yes, hard to believe). But they both loved the toys that were unwrapped at the end! We also played hide and seek the biscuit. Again, not so successful, I think they couldn't smell the biscuits too well. However, we all (dogs and humans alike) had a great day. Some of the humans even got a little drunk! My lips are sealed.

Thank you for all the messages about my blog. Seems you like it and look forward to it so who am I to think of stopping. In fact the only complaint was that it was sometimes a little short. I'll try to write a bit more but I don't want to bore you! 

Now I don't usually use this platform for complaining (do I?) But I've got a couple of bees in my bonnet which I need to share! Firstly, people not indicating when driving. What's going on? It's driving me crazy. Especially when their lack of indicating affects my journey. i.e. they don't tell me they are turning off when the are, and I could have pulled out! I'm not psychic.

Then secondly, littering. This seems to be the real pandemic at the moment. People who do this need to be shot. It's so rude. Who do they think picks up their rubbish? Keep Britain Tidy, you lazy louts. It's moronic. 

So as I'm sure you are aware the government starts an Eat In scheme on Monday throughout the whole of August. Go out, eat in (the restaurant/pub/bistro etc) and get food and soft drinks for half price (up to £10 off per person). This is a great idea and will encourage people to leave their homes and support the hospitality industry. And who doesn't love a bargain? Me! So this won't do my diet any good. But I must say I'm not devastated. I'll just try to be good on other days lol. So you can search on your postcode to see who is participating within 5 miles of your home. I did mine - I have 4 venues, I did my friends postcode (she lives nearer the town) she had 17! Then I did my mum, she's outside Newcastle. She had 73!! Now this doesn't mean that Scottish eateries are not participating because the majority of them are, it just means we genuinely don't have very many. 4 versus 73!! Crazy.

Have a lovely week. Go out for dinner (Monday - Wednesday) and we'll talk again next week.

Keep faith. Sometimes when you think of giving up, it suddenly becomes right.
