Welcome, Bonnie Sprinkle! Have you seen the videos on Instagram of a dog called Sprinkle Margaret Jean? I can't remember the account's name, but the dog is hilariously OTT and "extra". The lady whose account it is does all these wonderful trick training with her dogs, and she has other dogs who are so calm and well behaved executing the tasks beautifully... and then there is Sprinkle, who dances about the place, runs off once or twice, interrupts the other dogs doing the tasks before eventually doing her own 😁

Morning.

In honour of Daisy Florence is making doggo shaped biscuits for hoomins and people shaped dog biscuits for any doggos.

For breakfast I think we need something a bit different. Let's head to Cuba.

Tortilla Española, huevos enchilados, pastelito de guayaba, coffee and fruit of course.

Fernando is making batidos.

No huevos or batidos but everything else please

I told Daisy ONE biscuit
One

Not convinced Florence went with that

Oooh she is cute

DS6 (and I!) survived the cook-a-thon!
I hope we've done enough for his badge or he'll be gutted!
He was so good, plated everything up and served DS4 was called him Chef! 😂

I think he's forgotten about me @sashh 😩
Last seen stealing biscuits for the goats

@lovinglaughingliving wow, that looks brilliant
Tell him well done from the wide awake cafe!

sashh · 12/02/2024 07:35

Well done junior @lovinglaughingliving

@Tilly If you can't be responsible for Leo he has to go back to the wildlife park.

😨
But they didn't even miss him

And the goats would be sad 😢 they love him, he's their mascot

How can you be so harsh?

Tilllly · 12/02/2024 08:07

(Tempted to do a AIBU re Leo, see how blasted I get 🤭)

How old is she? Is she sleeping in your bed yet? 🤣🤣

Tilllly · 12/02/2024 08:57

Yup...

But I crated her about 4am

Thank goodness as there was a major runny bottom...

@lovinglaughingliving My carer is here, I've just shown him your DS's meal. He said 'bloody hell I can't do any of that and I'm 46"

Ohh it's been busy here, puppies arriving ( so cute ) loe in trouble ( again)
and a new master chef in the making ( genius)

Please can I have a hooman biscuit and a coffee for now and a curry with all the sides and pickles later.

ScottBakula · 12/02/2024 20:23

Loe ? Leo's little brother ?

I hate when that happens!
We had a pup disaster tonight DS4 has a Gabby's Dollhouse, I told him to make sure he keeps all the figures inside so Bonnie Sprinkle doesn't get to them.. come down stairs and realise with horror that the door wasn't shut and Narwhal (that he only got today!) is missing a fin 🫣🫣

Edited

He did well, but it's taking an awful long time to tidy up!
DH has man flu, I fell asleep on the bed when the kids went down and only woke at 2145, in a blind panic because I've put my passport and my access card in a special place for safety and can't remember where it is! Had small meltdown, then cup of tea and thought I'd look again tomorrow, when I'm calmer. Now wondering if I will manage in airport on Wednesday with just my sunflowers on... I'm only going away for 2 days with DS6 and have paid £15 for a replacement access card to arrive at the air bnb we're staying in!
Fingers crossed that'll do!

sashh · 13/02/2024 02:30

Morning.

Wow it is busy in here today.

@lovinglaughingliving if DS is going to cook on a regular basis get him a set of plastic bowls.

Before he cooks he needs to weigh out all the ingredients and then - this is the important bit - puts all the packets / jars away.

So he will be cooking like they do on TV - never a bag of flour or box of eggs in sight when you see a chef on TV.

Right to breakfast.

Well there are a couple of beef bones for any puppies needing something to chew.

Florence has been baking panettone so lets head for Italy, Fernando is in charge of the coffee machine and I set out breads and apricot jam.

I'm going to make a pot of courgette and coriander soup for later.

I would put out some fruit but Leo keeps taking them to the goats.

Morning

Panetone with apricot jam please.

I think the bumble cats need some attention, so I’m going to get their fluffy ball out.

Tilllly · 13/02/2024 05:18

Leo is an 😇 to those goats

Tilllly · 13/02/2024 10:14

Tilllly · 12/02/2024 10:11

Ok

I have started a thread in AIBU called Leo. You better all go on there and defend me, when they all say, I'm a moron

🤣🤣🤣

Tilllly · 13/02/2024 13:00

Yep... some irritated MNers!
