THURSDAY`S TRIFLE

   Hello everyone.......      I can`t access my ftp space today.  `Too many gateway sessions` it says.  This has happened to me before and it cleared itself in the end.  I`ll have to make do today with ones already uploaded or smileys.      It has been another hot, dry day here, though the forecast is to expect rain at the weekend....... we`ll see.   This morning I went food shopping in Tesco`s, they are moving into a huge new store on the 1st August.  It will apparently have 1500 staff and lots of different departments. It is going to be the biggest Tesco`s in Europe.  We are sure it will `kill off` the High Street as the new store sells everything.  When it opens I`ll tell you all about it.  As I was saying, I was doing the food shopping and there were countless bargains.  My cupboards are jam packed and my weekly bill is quite low.... that I like!   I was back home at 9.30am, had it all packed away by 10 and went out with Jake straight away.  We picked Kerry up en route and took her with us for her daily exercise.  We walked a little bit further today but in a circular direction so we were never too far away from home at any time, just in case.  When she went home this afternoon she told me she felt like making something tasty.   She made a lovely strawberry trifle with a recipe she downloaded from the internet, mmmm it was delicious, very rich,  but really yummy!      Tomorrow we are going for a family meal in the afternoon.  It is the anniversary of Jim`s Dad`s passing just two years ago. Last year we all thought it would be a good idea to remember him this way, it`s the sort of thing he would have approved of.  Kerryis coming with us as we won`t be out late and some of her cousins will be there too.  We should all have a very pleasant afternoon.       Jake has done it again , not content with attacking my cherry tree AGAIN, he has now started chewing one of the older fence panels.  I`ve managed to hide the pieces of broken wood from Jim but I just hope he doesn`t notice the teethmarks on the panel.....!    The cherry tree is to be reinforced with plastic tubing around the trunk, or what`s left of it and I`ve built a barrier of bricks surrounding the protective cover that has been around the tree since it was planted.  I don`t know how he managed it because I`ve been watching him like a hawk.  I haven`t even been leaving him outside while I`m on the computer.  Oh well... I suppose that`s one of the little things I will have to put up with while I have the pleasure of being owned by Jake.      This evening Jake`s German Shepherd friend Marshall is coming to stay for the night.  He is about 8 mths old but is already bigger than Jake.  They are great friends and there shouldn`t be a problem.  If all goes well we will have Marshall all next week while his owners, M and M take their little ones on holiday.  That should be fun....double trouble...lol!      That`s about it from me today, so have a lovely evening and please do take care, and I`ll leave you with some funnies.  

 

    

 

JUST A JOKE   

Two guys were walking through the woods one day when one of them glanced behind them and noticed a bear following them.  He could see that the bear hadn`t seen them yet,  so he quickly sat on the ground and began taking off his hiking boots. 

By the time his friend noticed him sitting there, he had pulled his running shoes out of his backpack and was putting them on.  His friend said,  "What are you doing?" The other guy pointed up the trail to reveal the bear coming towards them slowly but surely.   

He said,  "Man, you`re crazy.  There`s no way you can outrun that bear!!"     

As he was standing up,  the other guy said, 

"I don`t have to outrun the bear, I only have to outrun you!"
