It was a very very wet walk as Wee Wolf Stan can attest. Still a joyful nightmare. Still watching most tv programmes on silent to keep him settled. Still shouting at allll the dogs. My heart problems aren't happy atm so treading water but when he cuddles in he fills it up. π

This skein of wool was dyed with oak leaves gathered from the garden, which have given a very pleasing rich acorn nut brown shade...π

Halloween plans:
1. Lock the door
2. Close the curtains

Custard week #gbbo
"Thereβs a little village just outside Bolton called Custard..." As Matt said "really?", a disdainful looking Hollywood said: "No, donβt be ridiculous"
Me..'Isn't it after General Custard?'
Mike: 'It's General Custer.'
I mean..Sandwiches? Wellingtons?

Made your lovely #daleem today @BegumNadiya I've overdone it on the chilli powder for some of the house. I served it with fatfree yoghurt but anything I can do to reduce the spice as we are freezing it. I have 300g more lentils and more fatfree yoghurt. Water? V tasty. X

Stan is definitely secretly an influencer for a tooth whitening company. He always has a 'Ross from Friends' toothly dazzle. Hello to everyone. π Mike good. I'm ok but Entresto is still at baby dose. We move forward and stay in the same place. πͺ

Anyone else for whom AA Milne's children's poems are super evocative? We were talking about india rubber balls....and then not treading on the lines in the pavement. Thanks, Mum. π
βTO ALL AND SUNRY - NEAR AND FAR -
F. CHRISTMAS IN PARTICULAR.
I want some crackers,
And I want some candy;
I think a box of chocolates
Would come in handy;
And, oh! Father Christmas, if you love me at all,
Bring me a big, red India-rubber ball!β ~A.A.Milne #Christmas

With us a year yesterday. We celebrated with a Mam and Stan waltz on the longlead at the beach. It was a reenactment WW2 battle day. Ammunition and guns going off everywhere. Was he bothered? No. But if a gun goes off on the tv. 'Beware beware beware' at full vol.

Thought I saw a house martin flying low at 1830 tonight. I was in a dressing gown going to get something from the garage. Ran up the drive and onto the pavement and it was a bit of a paperbag being bowled along. #specsavers Gave the 49 dogwalkers a laugh

Still one of my favourite birds that I've created in stitch. I'm just about to start on a green jewelled hummingbird. #embroidery #birds

Tomorrow, it's Mike's first 1to1 training with Stan with our lovely trainer so he can do dog meets without jumping behind bushes. Mike, that is. He's referenced a coffee tamper as a good murder weapon today so know he's worried. π€£ Stan isn't.

We went to #tynemouthmarket First time in a long time. M did brill. He'd spotted a 1967 teaset in a charity shop on Friday and on Saturday I rang up and reserved it. We collected it and I smile each time we've had tea in it. It was treasured and will be now too. Gainsborough

In other news, after loving @siobhni on #Potterythrowdown started to watch #derrygirls. Love it. I've a Mum educated in a convent and myself, was a Salesperson travelling to NI this last 20 years. Touching, hilarious, dry, very sad. Something for everyone in this.

After the vet we are 70 percent there on Stan's tummy, Mike is fully on the Stan journey and didn't need protecting from it and Mike is far better than we thought. AND. big news. After 3 weeks of joint walks, I walked Stan alone. And he WALKED!
