Good morning everyone & well done mamya, pipped them by 1/10th of a second ....wow !!

[Mamyalynne]

Hi Seekz and all - that was a close finish!

[tonyav]

Hey oopp, well done Mamya. Have you considered taking up drag racing a 1/10th of a second is everything on the strip ;-)

Hiya Steff hope things are well down under.

[Mamyalynne]

Used to love going to watch Drag racing.

Hi Tony - very wet, wild & woolly down here, with the odd thunderstorm thrown in for luck !!
Glad the house is fairly high, no chance of flooding but very likely blown away !!

A bit sad too, my little Westie made his final trip to the vet yesterday .....I know it was the best, but god they leave a hole in your heart :((

[Mamyalynne]

That's so sad Seekz, rest easy little fella x

[tonyav]

Sorry to hear that, Steff, yes they do leave memories but nice ones.

I thought you might, Mamya. I'm hoping to get down to Santa Pod in September covid and weather permitting.

This is the first time in over 50 years, that there's not been a dog or two, and sometimes even three !!!! In this house.....it feels strange and I wouldn't like to think I'd never have another but the common sense police will tell me i shouldn't/couldn't cope/ am too old ....some aspects of old age give me the sh.ts !!
Sorry, rant over :)

[seekeerz]

What or what is Santa Pod, for heavens sake ??

[seekeerz]
