I'm sorry about your tooth algia. Hot salt water mouthwash can be a help. I hope it has abated as I see I am a little late here.<br />I thought Bertie had some slippers on. Is sausage on the foot resistance part of a training regime? Well done if so. I must try putting slices of cake on my hands and see if I can stop myself from eating them. I have stopped drinking for the time being so I'm not entirely without willpower.<br />I lost a penknife once. I was sitting in an apple tree at the time and dropped it and was never able to find it.

I am glad that no tooth extractions or root canal treatments are necessary. Bertie is such a clever dog, sausages are very tempting indeed.

Dogs: absolutely. They become part of your family and you love them. Bertie is a poppet and that sausage trick is seriously impressive. Decluttering and coffee: would you like to come over and help me declutter house and garden? I make a mean coffee :-) Sore teeth and back to school: sorry you have sore gums. Pain in that area can be so debilitating because it's just there and hard to ignore. I hope it subsides quickly. In the meantime, I'd eat honey sandwiches with custard. My younger son went into the sixth form yesterday and my daughter has gone back (into yr10) today. The eldest is still in bed, making the most of home and luxury until he goes to uni in a couple of weeks. I am feeling old and a tad emotional. Enjoy the peace and calm and your lovely garden.

I haven't visited Christmas steps in my many trips to the city to visit E. I'll have to put it on my list. I must get out and tidy up our garden too; it's looking very tired and the lawn needs a lot of reseeding after the drought.

It's called payback even though I find it doesn't seem to work as well for me as it does for them. I am in awe of Bertie's skill with the sausage, I wouldn't even contemplate doing that with Patch. He would have my fingers before I even got the sausage on his paws. Enjoy your back step garden contemplating moments. Sometimes they're just the ticket to help recharge the batteries. xx Susandaydream in colourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06292841288986490762noreply@blogger.com
