John easily has more pairs that me (he's got a thing about trainers) so I'm safe from the "you've got too many pairs of shoes" accusation. However I'm usually told we have too many cushions which I just can't see, I mean you need a lot. Especially when the dog likes to chew the corners. <br /><br />We have little words that have entered our family lexicon based on how the children used to mispronounce them. Angus, until quite recently, kept mistakenly calling his swimming goggles "gobbles" and now we just all refer to them as gobbles. It amuses us.

As for shoes; I admit to owning quite a few, but only wear my wellies and flip flops. Maybe I should have a cull? I'm off to Penzance Lit Fest next week, to see Rachel Joyce, Sarah Winman and Nina Stibbe give talks. I am very excited, as you can imagine. £4 per ticket.

I totally agree on the brown dog. I was going to get a West Highland White Terrier as my brother had one and I liked him a lot.. but then I found out that they are a breed descended from a Cairn Terrier and my brother's dog was always dirty.. so we got our Cairn instead due to his dirty blonde color. I've never been sorry. Your kids are such a great source of humor! ((hugs)), Teresa :-) Teresa Kasnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06228404538876664577noreply@blogger.com
