So don’t step on any overly-furry throw rugs. Got it.
Graduation party for my friend’s daughter (8th grade) and nephew (high school) today. Predicted high of 81 and not super-humid so it should be reasonably comfortable in the back yard. Tomorrow Father’s Day for which my dad said “keep it simple; pizza is fine.” So I guess that’s what we’re doing.
The dogs were good again. (Content warning for #1; it will make you sad and angry.)
So many good dogs this week! Pupper eating watermelon is oh so polite. Most dogs act like little dinos or piranhas so you gotta watch your fingers. Hoot and holler dogs just invented a new sport – synchronized barking, lol. Aww poor Penny. I would have waded out and broke off the branch for her.
Those are not cats, they are sentient rugs. I just want to snorgle those bellehs but I know it’s probably a trap, lol.
I had an eye dr appt yesterday and practice has two Brussel Griffon doggos in residence. Squeee!!!! They belong to the dr and their names are Bowie and Slater. Oh, they are so cute and yes I got thoroughly inspected.
Not much going on this weekend, I may head up to the museums today. Tomorrow will be errands, and thrift store wandering. At some point, I should clean a little but I’ll see how motivated I get, lol. Enjoy the weekend all!
I had no idea you could get fluffy throw rugs in such small sizes…
I’ve just returned from my two-night stay in Stratford-upon-Avon to see “The Tempest” with Kenneth Branagh as Prospero. It was one of the best productions of the play I’ve seen and featured some interesting (if not altogether convincing) directorial touches.
I experienced some non-Shakespearean drama at the slightly scruffy old pub I stayed at (for the third and probably last time). The window latch in my room was in a poor state last December and has since broken completely, leaving me with the problem of propping the window open with something heavy during a spell of hot weather. The solution: an iron I found in the wardrobe! It worked like a charm until the second day, when my afternoon nap was rudely interrupted by an almighty clattering noise. A gust of wind had blown the window open and sent the iron tumbling down the roof, where it came to rest just above the gutter! 😀 I explained the situation at the bar and an employee managed to retrieve the iron quite easily. This incident may well become part of the pub’s folklore and be told for years.
Another unusual happening: back in 1976, when I was still at school, I persuaded my parents to take me to Stratford for a week’s holiday (I also saw “The Winter’s Tale” with Ian McKellen as Leontes). We stayed on the ground floor of a new block of flats, and all I really remember about it was that it was near some old streets and a bridge. Well, on Friday I decided to go for a walk in a part of Stratford I thought I’d never visited before…and by chance I found the building where I stayed fifty years ago!
