As soon as I got home he knew I'd been unfaithful.
After his initial greeting he became suspicious.
I tried to give him a cuddle but he was having none of it.
He checked my pockets and found nothing incriminating but he was unconvinced.
He checked my handbag with the same results.
He's sat at the far end of the room sulking.
I'm sorry but I'm very fond of dogs so when I'm in someone else house and their dog wants to sit on my knee I let it.
Beano thinks I've been unfaithful, I just couldn't help it.
Scrimping and saving, ranting and raving. Past retirement age.

We've sprung a leak
A couple of days ago Steve called through to me that Beano had widdled on the bed.
I went in to check, Beano certainly seemed very apologetic, ears back and very subdued.
He got lots of cuddles and reassurance and I dragged the covers off the bed to try and dry them.
On closer inspection the bedding was wet but not stained and there was no smell.
I went back to the bedroom and checked the mushroom vent above the bed.
Sure enough it was leaking, we'd had very heavy rain the night before and that's where the water had come from.

Jumble sale
We walked to the jumble sale with Beano, Steve and Beano waited outside whilst I shopped.
I bought a princess castle tent, a red blouse, a pillow case with elephants on for bunting and a beaded bag, hippy style, not an elegant evening affair.

£24 later
And I have new number plates, I went to a car spares place in Tadley it only took about 10 minutes.
From there to Sainsburys to buy broccoli and cauliflower and a bottle of gin.
Jumble sale this afternoon I'm no looking for anything in particular I'll just have a mooch.

Thieving scroat
Steve went to the car this morning to find that the front and rear number plates had been stolen!
Fecking thieving little scroats.
So what was already a busy day today turned to chaos. I had to phone the police to report the theft, this took 40 minutes, then I had to notify my insurance, 30 minutes then I had to organise new number plates. The police were very kind but there is little they can do, they rang me back to ask if I was ok, I explained that I was pissed off but not traumatised.
I've been told that I can expect to be stopped by the police as the plates have been stolen and advised to keep the URN in the car for when I am stopped.
Steve, of course is ranting and raving, saying I shouldn't have left the car in a car park, I should have parked it on the road. This is the road where I left the car last year overnight and came back to found it had been keyed!
Also today I had three 5 year olds for a few hours.
I was looking after my 5 year old twin grandchildren as DD1 had booked a weekend yoga retreat. I was supposed to be collecting them from school and looking after them until daddy got home around 5:30.
Daddy had his shift changed at short notice and the school added an extra inset day at short notice.
So I had the children from midday, fortunately their 15 year old sister was also off school so she came too.
DD2's youngest who is also 5 has been off school all week with an upset tummy so I looked after her as well, she is on the mend but cannot return to school until 48 hours after the last bout of upset.
It was incredibly noisy, all of them playing together but they did colouring and sticking and played with Beano.

Too early to talk about Christmas
But if things need to be made in time then I need to start in plenty of time.
These are the face wipes I'm making, they will be Christmas gifts along with socks, scarves and home made soap. The bottom one that looks like a dirty beige is actually a very pretty light green .
The pic is poor quality, but Beano was asleep on my knee when I took it.
I've now got enough sloes now to make a batch of sloe gin, also for Christmas gifts so I will start that off tomorrow.
These donkeys are in a field beside the towpath where I walk Beano, aren't they cute.

Layering up
We haven't put our winter duvet on yet, I put it off as long as possible as I find it too hot.
So for now we have added layers.
We have a sheet under the summer duvet. I can't bear to sleep with no covers over me so by having a sheet and a summer weight duvet on I can throw the duvet off if I get too hot.
On top of the sheet and summer duvet there is a crochet blanket that I made, it makes a lot of difference even though it is very holey.
This normally suit us but now we have Beano, more layers have been added.
Because Beano sleeps between us I find I end up without a share of the duvet or the blanket so I've now added a lightweight patchwork throw I made about twenty years ago, this is on my side of the bed so when Steve and Beano hog all the covers I still have something to keep me warm.
But it doesn't stop there, when it is really cold Beano tries to get under the covers with us. I draw the line at this, on the bed, ok, in the bed, definitely no. So we have yet another crochet blanket, a small one that I made for Beano and we use it to cover Beano when he starts to burrow under the covers.
