It may have been a corporate ‘jolly’ and they got caught up in the hiatus - honi soit qui mal y pense.

The security must be an absolute nightmare. Afraid I’d never heard of this outfit prior to Glastonbury.

JoanneF, your husband has my sympathies as indeed does everyone who is directionly challenged.

I can empathise 100%. Thank God for satnav. Wasn’t invented in the 70s when my best man and I got onto the wrong motorway on my wedding day. Panicking like mad and running around service stations looking like out of work conjourers in our morning suits (hired, of course). We eventually got onto...

Unless I’ve got this wrong we’re still short of 40K signatures to have this heard in The House. Still need to spread the word.

Apparently we hit the record of 34.7C. Not many venturing out.

Big respect to Mr N.

My sympathies 100% but good to know that he’s wearing protective albeit uncomfortable clobber.

It’s the River Wye. It IS low at the moment - haven’t seen any canoes 🛶 on it for the past few days but it is beautiful. I don’t take it for granted - we’re very lucky. Although our hearts went out to others we did enjoy lockdown.

We were up and out down by the river at 07.00 this morning meeting other dog walkers. Lovely and cool and Mabel was in her element flirting with her boy whippet friend (the hussey). Followed this with a bacon sandwich (sorry, judyN) and a latte at the Riverside Café terrace.

Welcome. Cats are wonderful. We’ve always had cats and it was a huge bonus to find a whippet puppy many years ago which, after God knows how many searches, we were able to adopt. Since then we’re fanatical sight hound lovers. We’ve taken on three rescued whippets in total - two have gone to that...

Thank you, JudyN. Still a smidgeon confused - "...from 2024 to 2012". A time traveller?

Yes, the Scissor Sisters are fun - terrific entertainers. There’s something in the back of my mind re Graeme Garden’s son being part of their set up. Am I mistaken? Yours, Confused of South Herefordshire.

There are vets which are within an umbrella corporate outfit where the paymasters dictate margins. An independent vet could prove a better way. Check whether your current vet is within a corporate group. Really hope that all goes well for you.

I’m absolutely amazed and my heart goes out to the poor mite. What in the name of sanity possessed this woman?

No, not at all. I helped out at our county’s libraries when I retired and one very hot afternoon, while working behind the counter, was asked by a customer how we managed to keep so cool. I said that in such conditions we were excused clothing below the waist. Her look was amazing as was her...

Sorry, it was during the summer of ‘67. Told you I was getting old!

What a heartbreaker. He’s lovely.

I do the same at an ungodly early hour. It’s quite cool by the river here but Mabel’s taking it slowly - she’s now nine. I’ve picked an unfortunate time for a complete ensuite overhaul - noise and dust.

Absolutely knocked out by Pulp - thought that Jarvis just mastered the set wonderfully, superb numbers. My daughter and son in law went to their gig a few weeks ago, lucky things. We saw Rod Stewart’s set on iPlayer - what amazing accompanists and everyone so happy. I’m getting old - I saw Jeff...
