grooming 26 July 2009
My sincerest thanks to all who have emailed to give tips re the G’s grooming. Everything you suggest will result in me being SHREDDED by her but I will try! She’s grand today but the old poos are quite runny now. Mind you, she ain’t the only smell in the house – there is a niff I cannot locate and, if I was pressed, I’d say it’s something rotting gently somewhere, possible under a floorboard – could be a dead creature, might be a sausage that rolled away in escape, who knows…and I have searched fruitlessly (mixed food and organic matter imagery there, sorry) and cannot locate the culprit so we’ll have to ride this one out, as they say…
I went the whole day without going for a paper and then, close to 9pm I cracked and got one – don’t know why as it was eff all use as news or information…ah well, got me out and about for a few moments, I guess.
Had MAJOR cravings for carbs today and that happens from time to time on this no-pasta-no-rice-no-bread-no-potatoes regime I am following – but I am happy (for this read guilty but unashamed) to report there were 4 cream crackers left over from my niece’s visit and I had them with butter = BLISS! I’d love to shift another few (but crucial) pounds but I rather suspect that would mean giving up wine and I am not prepared to do that until I have to think about filming again in a few weeks time…and I had hoped the extra flab would be off by then – ARGH, she exclaims, while sipping a gentle shiraz…one ounce at a time, then…
