Being a Dog With Nerves is not an easy lot in life. I'm impressed that there's a yellow-lead warning system in place there...we just cross the street if we see anyone coming and it has nothing at all to do with COVID. :D<br /><br />A gross miscarriage of justice indeed -- grounds for appeal if ever there was one.<br /><br />I'm very impressed with your walnuts -- the squirrel population around here would make that a losing proposition but it feels very aspirational. xomelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07984286138124792000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-24538741516540535562020-11-04T22:46:24.402+00:002020-11-04T22:46:24.402+00:00Wonderful images, my friend.

Detention is hard, my youngest had on in his first week of secondary school. Also a miscarriage of justice I am told. Poor old Bertie, it is hard to be anxious. I wonder if it is possible to get badges for people, like those special leads for dogs? I think "slightly dramatic on occasion" would be good for my badge. The walnuts look so good. I haven't eaten a fresh one since I was about 10. There was a big walnut tree on my way to school, I liked to pick up a walnut or two on my way past.

I don't think being a lockdown pup helped - she improves and them something else crops up to set her back a little.

How wonderful to grow your own walnuts. We grew a peanut once and were amazed when we actually got some nuts - it was like magic. No social whirl here either, but I'm very cross about the new lockdown. I sought solace in the garden first time around but, listening to the wind and rain outside, I don't think that will be possible this time. Shame about the detention. Maybe he could have gone barefoot if he promised not to lick the soles of his feet afterwards?! Have fun with NaNoWriMo. xxVeggieMummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17467026136649574350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-49660253288476249022020-11-02T08:21:09.846+00:002020-11-02T08:21:09.846+00:00I’m always impressed when you have your 50,000 wor...I’m always impressed when you have your 50,000 word stint. Couldn’t be better timing for you with the lockdown in your corner. The melodramas made me chortle and I wish I could see the chewing gum dance. Maybe a short video? Amazing walnuts and I agree about the brain thing. Delicious though. Poor Bertie, hope he gets over his nerves. Maybe feed him acme calming chamomile tea in his dinner ;). Happy writing.
