Guess who tried to stow away in my luggage last month ?
Billy of course !
It's lovely going away
but it's lovely to be home.
I've met a couple of friends for dog walks already.
Our friends who looked after the house
have given Dillon a new " no pull " lead
made by a rigger friend.
He pulls but it doesn't tug your arm so much now.
He has to get used to me being back as I'm very strict with him
He looked at me on a walk yesterday and I said,
" Yes Dillon, Bossy Boots " is home !"
Billy has a horrible new habit...
he looks so cute curled up on a bed-
you go to stroke him-
and he farts -
a horrible stinky one !
Phew Billy the Stink !
My washing machine packed up on the fifth load.
An alarm went off & I thought it was the alarm clock.
It is full of washing & water won't drain
& the door won't open.
Luckily we rent our washing machine & tumble dryer from a local electrical shop
so we get free service, repairs & replacement if necessary.
First thing tomorrow, I'm phoning them.
The computer is on it's last legs.
Roddy was trying to download some music
and the computer went mental.
He turned it off but the music was still playing !
My laptop keeps freezing ( again )
It's already been repaired twice
and out of warranty now.
Last night we all watched the new magician show
and then a film.
It was very cosy.
Our friends who stayed here said he house is very homely.
They'd been counting up how many hearts I have all over the place...
I explained that with a birthday on St Valentine's day
I tend to be given a lot of hearts !
My lovely niece Sian has started a Blog
and is also trying to launch a new career
You can read her first Blog post
Good luck Sian !
Today I am going to catch up with your lovely Blogs
I missed you while I was away !

Welcome back and Happy New Year, I loved all your stories and photos. Billy is so cute. Big hugs, Margie.
ReplyDeleteglad you are back safe and sound. I like the idea of an anti pull lead.
ReplyDeleteI too love the idea of an anti pull lead..:)
ReplyDeleteSorry you're having "electrical" problems..:(
Hugs xx
Glad you are back safely Penny, as you say there is no where quite like home :-)
ReplyDeleteBilly the Stink indeed! Made me laugh but then, I'm nowhere near...
ReplyDeleteMy computer went blank yesterday, turns out that the electricity cable broke, it is now working again thanks to masking tape and a pencil! I must get a new one soon.
I think it must be something in the family, our dishwasher went caput before christmas and now the washing machine keeps acting up. Billy and Prince should get together and have a competition, stinkers unite and gas the world!.
ReplyDeleteFarting cat, broken washing machine, computer frazzled, laptop frozen......so what's it like to be back home then?!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to Sian with her new blog (and new career!).

It must be chewing on knickers?
ReplyDeleteIt sounds as though you are enjoying being back with your furry family.
ReplyDeleteWe half watched the magicians then put on a film last night. We have continued computer problems as well.
Oh, machines are naughty aren't they?
ReplyDeleteHope ours last as this is the most frugal year of all.
Good luck to Sian!

It really is nice to be away, but your problem with your washer really does get you focused on being back home, doesn't it? I'm glad you're back!!
ReplyDeleteWe missed you too, so glad you're back.
ReplyDeletePity about all the electrical problems, it seems like all your gadgets missed you too and are now having a sulk!!
