by Jill 2 months agoHappy birthday, fellow East Anglian.... hope your day has been everything you would have wished. -
by Woolleybeans 6 months agoI would love to have a load of puppies, but I can't have a puppy until I can stop going to work. For now, we have Pippin the probably a collie and Bryn the white and black border collie. Woolley was my first dog, who lived with us along with Barney, who I found as a stray when I was 17. Poppy and Jasmine are pretty names. -
by mockingbird 6 months agoHiya - once upon a time we had a spaniel, who got older. We added in a brown pomerussell called Badger, who in time got mated with a black and white spaniel called Harvey, and had a litter of five gorgeous puppies two years ago. They arrived on Valentines day. See one of my earliest blogs about getting a leg over if you are interested.... We kept one puppy, called Guinness. -
by Alanboy 8 months agoI'm pleased you're now up to 20. Another 43 and you'll be in the laptop lid league.

Saffron Walden. You couldn't dream up that name, could you? -
by Alanboy 8 months agoI'm surprised there are only 6 comments on your blog about fun. And half of those came from 1 person. While the blog on laptop lids has 62.
Maybe many here simply don't see writing as fun. Maybe they see it is a factory production line.
As for the lids ... words fail me. Trivia rules, even here. -
