We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the kerb. Caregiver for Panko the golden retriever puppy - destroyer of socks. Draws pictures for coins in a shed.

Henry is finally back from University and someone is very very pleased indeed.

Panko is having a stare out with a duck on the wall at Chatsworth. The duck is not worried by Panko, but Panko is worried by the duck. This went on for an hour.

House upgrades continue by finally decorating Chan’s office. All done in-house so we are pretty pleased. I normally manage to get gloss on the dog.

Yeah lets bury this thieving pile of crap.

Liverpool on it tonight. And every night.

my friend yaya covered the disgraceful telegraph billboard 🥰

The three states of Panko.

First trip away overnight in the camper van. Surprisingly, she didn’t put a paw wrong. Faultless to a tee. We are, of course, all in shock.

Early pitch for pet food modelling job by possibly the naughtiest golden retriever puppy in England. Taken just before discovering a load of very tasty sheep poo, and then a cascade of poor and overexcitable behaviour.

So very very sorry for running off to eat sheep poo and not coming back. Then eating her lead whilst walking along. Then digging a hole in the garden as soon as we were back. Then eating the pond plants.

Family away so have deployed the orange ball as a distraction. 100% effective so far.

She has fallen fast asleep with Dotty Honkers (her favourite pig toy) in her mouth. What a goof.

Clearing out the old garage at the bottom of the garden I found this excellent Mini which I was given when I bought a Mini Cooper S in 2002. I ran a knackered old Cooper with an Allegro engine when younger so I preordered the new one. The kids both used this to death. Saving it for the next gen…

@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social, @biggreenbooks.bsky.social All copies arrived safely thank you :-)

Deflating old camping air beds to go to the charity shop. Having a small amount of extra help from Panko as ever.

Back at it like an idiot. Clearing out the old garage and creating order from chaos in a small way.

Job done. Completely and thoroughly knackered.

Well that’s Winter 25 sorted I think…

Part of dealing with a fair bit of land and collapsing trees. The late night (don’t annoy the neighbours) burn up. Perfect still night as we had eucalyptus, pine and ash branches to burn.

Chopping time. I am old and creaky reduced to light chainsaw duty and log barrowing.

The greatest prize of all for her is my gardening glove. This is a top steal and will be next to impossible to get back.

Large Adult Son has returned to help chop the old ash tree that went down in the storm. Panko possibly TOO delighted to see him.
