All dressed up and no place to go

So I saw "Caithness Field Course" marked on Gail's calendar for 17-19 August.

Yippee, another geology field trip! I had so enjoyed the previous jollies educational excursions to Lossiemouth and to the Isle of Skye.



I put on my hand-knitted sweater and searched out my geological hammer and my specially designed hard hat.


I checked the weather forecast and decided a scarf and my new winter jacket might come in handy too. So there I was, all kitted out and raring to go...


...Only to learn that this trip is…..gulp…..how can they do this to me….this is...

A "NO DOG FIELD TRIP"

It gets worse.

Yep. You guessed.

Prison here I come.

Now I know why Gail was being so nice to me last weekend, buying me doggy ice cream at £2.99 at tub, and so on.

Guilt.

I wonder how she can live with herself.

    Bertie - Be thankful you're in Aberdeen. If you were going to Caithness you'd need to borrow a fur coat from the PON's.

    OMD! Left behind..... We can't believe it. Although if it's that cold, snuggling up in prison might not be too bad.

    We hope there isn't a damaged Cricketer someplace, who is missing his 'hard hat'. just sayin'.

    Crikey ... You call that SUMMER??? AND how the heck do you sleep when it doesn't get dark till nearly morning? Sorry about being sent to gaol but at least you'll be warm (hopefully) while Gail half freezes to death.

    Well, Bertie, I don't think you're missing out on much, Eve had a lovely trip to Wick with the same lovely weather as Gail's going to have! (Although it's probably better than being in prison.) It was so unfair to let you down after you were all KNITTED out, though. Ehem.
    £2.99? Where was this doggy ice-cream from, I got one for just £1.50!
    Hope Gail has a good trip, excluding the weather, but I'm so sorry you have to stay in prison!
    Pippa :)

    Hoping all your nice winter gear fits Gail, because she may need it. Not the hat!

    Take care at the "prison"

    We are going to ours in two weeks! Puppy Pools here we come!

    Surely dog abuse - and you looked so well fitted out and ready to go - surely she could of attempted to sneak you in?

    This is OUTRAGEOUS !! We think you should force Gail to wear YOUR hard hat... just to remind her of the fact that she sent you to PRISON fur the duration.

    With that kind of weather, Bertie, you might have a lot more fun than Gail, though it does seem a terrible waste of fine fashion for you not to go.

    Oh Bertie! It's so sad to see a fine lad like you the victim of species discrimination. Better milk this guilt for ALL it's worth!
