Keep cool pet...

The hot weather is causing havic to me schedules.

Yesterday it was us today it was our pets. Did you know that if you get reflective paint and paint it on your guinea pigs roof they wont get quite so hot. And did you know that using a common or garden watering can to pour water over your pooches really does the trick

Sucking on an ice cube, using a fan, finding the shade, hosing them down….. Your calls were illuminating and run. KEEP ANIMALS COOL was your message.

And then The empty nest syndrome, some researchers are saying that it’s a myth.

I don’t think it is, you didn’t think it was, after quotes from Kahil Gibran  we had to agree that we had to let our kids go evenutally.

THE SHIP IS SAFE IN HARBOUR BUT ITS NOT WHERE THEY WERE BUILT – ain’t that a great quote?

And then Brian Turner CBE talked about the nature of the restaurant business; we all want value for money not cheap nosh but food that is VFM.

The restaurants stay open and we enjoy reasonably priced food.

But my fave today was talking to George Hinchliffe he of the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain.

He calls himself a ukeleator.  It seems that young folk prefer the little four string instruments to recorders

And having had to listen to a lot of squeaking recorders in my life I COULDN’T AGREE MORE.

Russel Hargreaves is still on centre court and when I speak with him for just one moment I fancy I am watching that ball bounce back and forth.

Maybe I’ll get to Wimbledon just once in my life.
