I knew I needed a good excuse for not taking part in Murphy and Stanley's FFHT this month. And I have one.
It is that I have been abandoned(1), poorly foot and all(2), by Gail, who is living the high life(3) in London(4) this week(5).
Footnotes by Gail:
(1) "Abandoned" as in being cared for by neighbours Kirsty (a vet), her husband Mike and their two amiable dogs, border terrier Bonnie and miniature poodle Jack. Bertie will be having a blast.
(2) "Poorly foot" as in, thankfully, nearly better foot (although vigilance is still clearly required).
(3) "High life" as in being sequestered in an office besides Gatwick Airport, inspecting data on some Norwegian oilfields for the Kuwaiti Government? You decide.
(4) "London". As I said. Actually an office block next to Gatwick Airport.
(5) "Week" as in two days / one night.
Apologies. We will try to do better next month.
Don't believe her Bertie, she are off havin fun wifout ya.
ReplyDeletehmmmm.... to spend two days with friends sounds not bad to me... and maybe currently London isn't that fabulous place ... not even HRM is at home... oh wait... that means the Corgi's are abandoned too...brothers in spirit :o)

Aww, Bertie, you made poor little Jessie cry by yelling at her on our blog! She knows you don't need an excuse for REGULAR cuddles, but she's trying some very extra SPECIAL cuddles. Some adoption-inspiring cuddles. And that might need an excuse, you see. Jessie's very worried about all of this.
ReplyDeleteWell it was actually a very good FFHT. But we think Bertie got the better end of the deal.
ReplyDeleteI'm shocked and outraged that you have been abandoned, my dear friend! She better have lots of treats for you!
ReplyDeleteBOL....Oh Bertie we do think that was a very amusing FFHT!
ReplyDeleteSmileys!

Nothing good can come from being left with a VET!! You poor thing Bertie. I hope Gail brings you back lots of pressies, aye??
ReplyDeleteAs you said Bertie. Abandoned! Nice try Gail. Hope there are treats brought home for poor dear Bertie.
ReplyDeleteNo worries, and love, Stella and Rory
Bertie - Gatwick has a Chipotle which is more than can be said for Heathrow. There again Gatwick is much beloved by teenage Italians - a type of passenger quite oblivious to everyone else.
ReplyDeleteGail says: on the flight down I had the dubious fortune to be sat next to an inquisitive 'scaffie' called ANGUS, just returned from a three week stint on the Britannia platform and clearly the 'worse for wear' by the time he boarded the Gatwick-bound plane. Inquisitive as in "what do you do for a living?" and "so are there many different types of rocks?" Italian teenagers would have been much preferable.
