Ziggy is hopeless in cafes or pubs, anywhere where there is food and people, his two favourite things. He never settles. I am beyond impressed with Bertie's sausage restraint in the previous post though. Not a chance with Ziggy. Not. A. Chance.

I think the general malaise with food is to be expected at times like these. I have it too, but because our household is so tired of cooking and eating the same things. Meal planning malaise ... yet again.

I hope you're on the mend now. I have a dental cleaning at the end of the month, and I'm hoping there's nothing amiss in there. I've been trying so hard to be a good flosser, which is something I absolutely despise doing, so I really hope it's been enough for my dentist, who is a real taskmaster. I used to do the same in photos with my dog, I had him in a death grip in every one, it just looked like a big hug. There was one photo in particular when I was pregnant with my son where I had crouched down over the dog and he was rearing up against my belly; I decided it wasn't worth it to have a pretend-nice photo with the dog anymore!Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-73477895442747123372018-09-10T17:36:11.036+01:002018-09-10T17:36:11.036+01:00Hi CJ, I am a first-time visitor who stopped in fr...Hi CJ, I am a first-time visitor who stopped in from Christina's, A Colourful Life, blog. I have enjoyed reading some of your previous posts and especially seeing the photos. And having just had my own dental visit today (mine was a replacement filling) glad yours was nothing serious. (By the way, it looks like you have a spam comment above.)Beatrice P.

There are also more wasps than usual hanging around the windfalls - I hope you don't have the same problem. Though it sounds as though you'd be more likely than me to keep them all picked up!Madeleinehttp://athomeinthethirties.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-57768273714914361682018-09-10T12:58:11.617+01:002018-09-10T12:58:11.617+01:00A nice post and lovely pictures.

I commiserate. I use spatone for iron- easier on the stomach and gets absorbed more quickly than tablets.

I wondered if this was your home. I'd love to see some home shots someday. I wish like heck that I was born with a neatness gene.. but I was not. I do like things looking tidy but it never seems to be. Oh well! Have fun this coming week.

It has to be all that hot weather we had...I suppose it also means a pear shortage or a hike in prices at the supermarket. <br />CJ, lovely to see you on your blog and I hope the iron tablets kick in soon, and you're feeling better. Anything to do with teeth is horrendous! You have my sympathies. <br />As for neat, I used to be the queen of neat and like you couldn't let things slide, BUT, now I'm much more relaxed, it still irks me when the home is a mess but I get too worn out to keep topside of it all the time. And it's probably not as bad as you think you know.<br />Have a good week.
