Oh I do apologise to my friends if they feel I have been neglecting them.
You see I've been away on important business (that's what all high achievers say isn't it?)
What could be more important than trying to cheer up Human Grandad?
So Gail and I went down to Nottingham for a visit last week. I took HGD for a short walk by the River Trent and as usual we had a nice chat.
I can still make sense of what he's trying to say, even if others often can't.
We shared a joke and then it was home for afternoon tea.
See, I'm keeping him smiling with my antics.
Now you can always rely on Human Granny for a nice cup of tea.
Oh and I must, I absolutely must tell you what HGY said last Friday afternoon when Gail had to go out without me for a short while.
Gail was going through that rather patronising and annoying "now Bertie you'll be good while I'm away won't you?" routine. No doubt some of my friends get this too...
But this time, HGY interrupted her.
"I expect he'll be good. He usually is. He's no trouble."
Yes, those were her very words.
Aren't Grannies just the business?
Meanwhile, in a parallel universe, the Pet Blogging Olympics continue to enthral. I want to say a humungous thank you to all who took part in my Bouncing (narrrative style) event, both entrants and those who commented on the post. Everything went brilliantly, and it was such fun wasn't it! Now I'm going to relax and enjoy all the other games, as I'm sure you will too.

Bertie, I can see what a comfort you are to your Grandparents. You are so thoughtful and I can only hope that Granny spoiled you with biscuits and goodies.

You are so lucky. We don't have a grandpa or granny. And we're sure you behave yourself ALL of the time.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your relaxation. We've seen you in a few events, you need a day or two to recover.

Bertie-
ReplyDeleteYour Grandparents are wonderful. Your Grandpa looks just like mom's uncle. He doesn't make much sense either, but he's a lovable chap!
We are smitten with your Grandpa's clock on the bookshelf...very cool!
Wyatt and Stanzie
I wondered if anyone would spot the clock. It's from a propellor, a reminder of Dad's time in WW2 as a Mosquito pilot. Gail.
DeleteHGD and HGY appreciate you. I think perhaps your mom is just too stern and needs to adopt a more carefree, terrier attitude about life.
ReplyDeleteSlobbers,
Mango
It is so wonderful to see pictures of your parents doing so well. It's great that your dad gets around too. I miss having parents in my life - even if they kept me busy and frustrated.
ReplyDeleteSending lotsaluv to you...and them!
