I didn't get nicest poster. How can that be right???? In any universe. When I'm so charming and affable to everyone...

Bloody Babooshka keeps winning biggest KB fan, just because of her suck-up oh I love Kate Bush user name.

Let it go...

Actually I’m still smarting slightly over the famous people award. I would have happily shared again but sad at being booted off the joint award when I’m sure none of us can have met any additional famous people since last time. Unless...unless 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

FlouncingBabooshka · 02/02/2021 23:30

Don't wish it away
Don't look at it like it's forever
Between you and me I can honestly say
That things will only get better

Oh, I’ve just realised what that it. Elton John, I Guess that’s Why They Call it the Blues.

Weather forecast terrible for up north today.

Keep safe, my lovely northern friends.
And honey.

This is what I woke up singing this morning (so, happy earworm)

Just try to look as if you don't care less
But if you want to see some more 👗

Morning lovelies!

"Did nobody get this? It’s Voodoo Chile, Jimi Hendrix."

Correct @FlouncingBabooshka - I was shocked no-one got it last night. My lyrics keep being upstaged, first by evil goats, then by Rogue's attention-seeking behaviour. I suspect a touch of jealousy at my multiple awards.... 🏆🏆🏆🏆

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 03/02/2021 09:35

Rogue, the second was Elton John - I guess that's why they call it the blues.

Weather here is miserable. Damp and grey. Two dogs are clamouring for a walk, but after yesterday... both needed a bath after rolling generously in fox poo. I'm not risking that stink again for a while!
Anyway, RubyDog's arthritis needs to settle down a bit before any more exercise.

Morning all from a snowy landscape 🌨.

All 80s

Well I'm gonna get myself 'cross the river
That's a price I'm willing to pay
I'm gonna make you stand and deliver
And give me love in the old-fashion way

I saw him dancing there by the record machine
I knew he must have been about 17
The beat was going strong, playing my favorite song

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear there is someone somewhere watching me

Dexter, have you tried giving Ruby glucosamine sulphate for arthritis?

I love rock and roll .., someone and the jets ?

NeedToKnow101 · 03/02/2021 11:06

Morning Coffee! Hope it's picturesque

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 03/02/2021 11:08

@CoffeeBeansGalore

No, I haven't. Does it help, you think? Thing is, she'd walk for miles, every day if we let her but pays for it badly. But DexterDog, whilst the same (and a bit younger) has no issues (yet). And I love walking too. I used to live in Cornwall, and I'd pack a sandwich and a flask and be gone the whole day. I didn't like my second husband much at that point ....

Correct Midge & Dexter with a joint effort.

Dexter, yes it will help. Bog standard human ones from supermarket will do. One a day. My old girl is 12 1/2 & it shows when she hasn't had any (sometimes spits them out when I'm not looking 🙄). Same effect as cod liver oil but without a dodgy stomach.

@NeedToKnow101 Morning 👋 yes it is pretty, although no sun today. I can actually see the hills at the moment, although probably not for long. The trees have that "icing sugar" effect. I think we are teetering around 0° so not too bad today.

Dd took this picture Monday

That sounds worth a try! How much should I give, just one per day? I'll give it in a bit of cheese. She'll eat anything if wrapped in cheese.
We think she's about 11 now, she was a rescue from Battersea si can't be certain.
DexterDog is 7 in June. Still a pup!

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 03/02/2021 11:32

@CoffeeBeansGalore
That picture is STUNNING. I love b&w, so atmospheric

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 03/02/2021 11:33

Sorry Coffee, I tend to skim read a lot and missed that you put the dose one a day.
I am a numpty.

Do we get points for most posts in a row? 😂😂

CoffeeBeansGalore · 03/02/2021 11:39

Correct to Bonnie Tyler Dexter 👍😊. Give it a go for month & see if there is a difference. It has helped my dogs.
And thank you. Dd is pretty good with her camera 😁
