I've given her about three baths in her entire life, mostly when she's rolled in otter shit. It seems her miraculous default mode is Grace Kelly perfection. Just another thing to love about her. :)Tania Kindersleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18355967725006605825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-54528410173993735592012-07-10T12:12:25.982+01:002012-07-10T12:12:25.982+01:00I think you may have my great-aunt Mabel tucked in...I think you may have my great-aunt Mabel tucked in there. She was always Aunty Mab, very practical, comforting and dearly loved cooking. Just the right sort of great-aunt to have, and yes, she is right, it will be better in the morning.<br /><br />What an elegant Pidge pose. The paw placement is impeccable.<br /><br />And, although not on Twitter, just noticed this in your sidebar "love everything about that Lynne Truss paragraph. Esp the piano-playing semi-colon." Which promptly brought Victor Borge's phonetic punctuation to mind. Bless my dear Mum who played his, Tom Lehrer's and Noel Coward's records (amongst others).Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08181307209370955942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-53677822788952578322012-07-10T04:02:39.452+01:002012-07-10T04:02:39.452+01:00And here am I grumbling about the sunshine, the in...And here am I grumbling about the sunshine, the intolerable heat, and more heat.

I have only seen the trailer, might be just as well it's in French as I'm not sure how much sacharine melodrama is involved. Can't have too much beautiful horse, though. <br /> <br />http://www.sortie-cine.fr/videos/ma-bonne-etoile-2012-christophe-lambert-bande-annonce.htmlJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13568124947139621704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-87980125893569384962012-07-09T22:24:15.317+01:002012-07-09T22:24:15.317+01:00Oh the weather.

Best ignore it and maybe it will change.<br /><br />However, I have to ask how the pigeon manages to look so perfectly groomed, sitting on a lovely blanket with cushions as a backdrop. When I come home from a walk or a run my hair is frizzy and I have muddy boots. The pigeon however has not a hair out of place. What is her secret?karinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12053571038452872805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-84469489267747045902012-07-09T20:41:41.667+01:002012-07-09T20:41:41.667+01:00Oh Tania I had to laugh.

I did smile though when I overheard this - "What's the difference between Aberystwyth in summer and Aberystwyth in winter?" Answer:- "The rain's warmer in summer!" Says it all, doesn't it? Love the Pigeon photo.Mizeltohnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-8180538235132996272012-07-09T18:20:49.721+01:002012-07-09T18:20:49.721+01:00Trade you one of our blistering-hot sunny days for...Trade you one of our blistering-hot sunny days for one of your cool, grey ones. (Although must admit to overcast today; temperatures will be only 87F/31C today instead of the past week's 107/41.) Funny thing is, either end of the weather scale when it is unseasonable and too lengthy produces depression. Don't look at the structure of that sentence. Shakespeare and Milton would think it's a foreign language.<br /><br />On a positive note, the photo of the Pigeon today is just breathtaking, and easily able to banish the blues. Thank you, especially, for that.<br /><br />BirdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
