We just had an incredible very short lived thunderstorm - just made it home in time - so catching up with your posts while I have a foot spa - so sorry you lost your mate OHH - takes ages before you will stop seeing her out the corner of your eye - another feline will tug at your heartstrings when the time is right
An old dog park friend of mine and my old boy was at the dog park Tuesday with her very timid 14 year old wire haired JR - two dogs barked at her and she bolted normally her owner just lets her run and she sits down and waits to be rescued - but unfortunately the owner of the big dogs ran after her and Lucy kept running - the owner shouted for the woman to stop but she through no fault of her own didn’t understand so she lost sight of Lucy in an industrial estate - wish my old dog was still around as he would probably sniff her out - unfortunately when I was wandering around calling her today in the streets she could have been metres away from me hiding - the not knowing is terrible for the old girl who owns her she was a rescue pup and has never slept outside since she adopted her .Pets can be so heartbreaking
Have had my first ripe tomatoes - unfortunately when I planted several different varieties I lost track of which was which despite having some very fancy labels given to me - one very compact grower is absolutely covered in fruit - planted purple bok choy which is lovely
Haven’t done any crafting - I should get cracking on the Dr Seuss as it is looking good
Our Ukrainians are finishing off the school year and so will be gone in ten days I keep hoping Immigration will contact them and say they have changed their mind .My son has had to stop making pies which he supplied to cafes and petrol stations so not only his business suffers but so do they -he is also having to fly butchers in from Auckland can’t get any butchers to replace the ones who have literally burned out - it’s not only the staff shortages it’s the continual abuse and the stealing they witness but can do nothing about - practically every day a full trolley goes out - they can’t even put their hand on the trolley they can only record their rego and trespass them -when whoever decided it was a good idea to change the law a couple of years ago certainly did the criminals a favour - At least he can be thankful nobody has driven through his doors
