Safe and sound. And a reminder...

So Gail flew to Amsterdam for work last week. She was gone A WHOLE DAY AND A NIGHT!

I stayed again with neighbours Yvonne and Neil. These days, what with all the terrorism stuff on the news, I do tend to fret about Gail’s safety when she travels outside of Scotland. But I think I managed to hide my worries. I even sent her a reassuring text message and picture. It read:

“Well Gail, I decided since I’m guest of honour here I would sneak into Yvonne’s lounge & sleep on my favourite chair! Bertie, 3 am this morning …..”

Oh but I was blithe as a midge on a damp still day in the Highlands when Gail returned home all safe and sound. I even forgave her buying a big chunk of Gouda cheese for Yvonne and failing, once again, to bring home a gift for me.

PS There is still time to enter my Blogville Pawlympics event. I've already received loads of splendid entries, but for sure there are yet more of you who would secretly love to climb a Scottish mountain, and this is your golden opportunity! For full details, click here. The deadline is 31st July.

  6. She gave cheese to someone else and nothing for you. That is a fail! We are glad that Gail made it home safe and sound.

  7. We can't believe Gail is so rude as to leave you overnight and then NOT bring you a gift to make up for her poor decision!

    Your Pals,

  8. Bertie - We came across this in the Washington Times. Looks just like you. Perhaps you should get a copy to read the next time you're left alone ? http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/jul/21/book-review-outfoxed-an-andy-carpenter-mystery/

  13. We are glad Gail has made it back safe and sound, although she may deserve a few demerits for not bringing you back a souvenir block of cheese!
