Seizing the moment again...
Strange, I can remember just these sorts of things surrounding me whenever I had an exam' years back. Yes, minimus is working away up here at the computer, but right now she's asleep in bed!
Clearly, fashion mags, choc, cans of coke, post-its, and huge quantities of make-up are absolute prerequisites if you have any hope at all of studying to good effect. Plus ca change etc etc
Which brings me on to an anecdote from my meeting with the mother of my son's French girlfriend...
Seeing a skirt we both liked whilst out shopping, I bought one for her, and she bought one for me. Vive les cadeaux!
When my poor son arrived home it was to find 2 maman's dressed in identical clothing!
Uttering a guttural shriek, he backed out of the door- but we caught him...
Am desperately worried about my old doggie, Fin, right now. She has a growth... well, actually, she has several... but the one in question is beginning to impede her gait.
She is so lively and lovely and loving. I know the time is coming when I must ask the vet to take another look at this horrible thing, but I dread what he might say. And if she could have an operation, my past experience suggests this may not have a happy outcome...
Lets hope she has a happy summer. She will be thirteen in May, and is such an intrinsic part of our family. We weren't supposed to buy her from puppy rescue... I went along with my mother when she wanted to buy a puppy, and there was Fin. She even peed in dh's car on the way home, which didn't exactly endear him to her from the start! But we persevered, and now he loves her as much as we do.
Ah, well, that's life, I suppose. We have to dare to love, and we have to be strong enough to bear the consequences of losing those we love...
Happy reading, everyone!
Love
Susan
