h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm getting mixed images of "Green Acres" and a monstorus crowded bed. In either case, it sounds lovely.

For me, I loved winters until I was introduced to a snow shovel. For that horse-shoe shaped driveway that surrounded the house. Those damned 12 to 20 inch snow-falls, every other day, kinda took the enjoyment out of them. I still face the snow-blower many mornings at 5:30 ...

it was pretty much like that.. me and the critters.. but it was quite warm in there on cold nights..

fortunately I've never had to shovel snow..

We've a fully furnished guest room, with hot and mad running . Shall I book you in for mid-January? 'Tis a life experience that no-one should fully miss.

I'll take your word for it.

Awwww, but that's not as fun.

but no doubt safer..

So, ... ya up to a visit today that includes a full roasted chicken dinner, stuffing, mashed spuds, real gravy, ... Ya know, the poor folks' Sunday supper.

sorry.. not exactly hungry at the mo.. having a bit of a rotten weekend..

Oy. We have had a week of that too. Enough heat and general "bleah's" that the taste buds were flat. But hey, ain't nothing like some toast and marmite to cure that.

Ah !!! So you've met the stuff, eh? Love it or hate it. Our house is properly divided, ... Meself and my manly- think it is foin stuff, ... The missus and HR-ness would prefer to be in another county.

HR Dogness might like it.. she likes y stuff..

I guess there is no understanding the tastes of s and s, eh? Just dealing out some of the commercial preparations for them is enough to shake a stout tummy.

Ah well, so long as they always get past that, and dump mountains of affection on their 'house-hold staff', it all works out well enough.

True enough. only eats kibble under duress. She prefers her share of whatever is on my plate and occasionally the duty of helping clean out the fridgie.. she takes her job seriously on that one..

We try to keep table-treats to a minimum with the , knowing it really isn't in their best interests. But those pathetic little faces can not be ignored for-ever.

And the lad is also quite helpful with "The Great Fridge Expedition" as it happens. Climbing fully into a shelf if he can get away with it. And invariably, finding something very vile that we forgot we had, as it migrated to the back-wall.

*shrugs* I have never worried too much about table food being not too good for them.. dogs thrived before the invention of kibble. Besides.. some of the riper stuff found in the fridgie may be a new form of penicillin.

To my understanding, it's cats more than dogs who shouldn't have too much 'people food'. On the whole, our occassional 'slips' don't seem to have done them any harm though.

So whatcha doing up and on-line so early? Trying to get a good day in before the heat mounts to ridiculous levels again?

Just trying to get back to normal hours..

Ah, I wasn't aware that you'd slipped off of a decent cycle. Though I suppose some of your posts were rather late at night. Having gotten fouled up that way a number of times, I can only wish you a lot of good luck, Lady.

Thanks. If I can make my legs return to flesh instead of the jello they are made of ATM I'll be fine.
