That is so lovely that the farmer did that - and that you cuddled your dog until he passed. It would have given him great comfort to have you by his side.

It would have given him great comfort to have you by his side.That's just so sad, many years ago before BSE came to light a farmer I was dating stayed with one dairy cow all night, into the morning for a the said cow to pass. He said that animals come into the world with love and should die with dignity and love. That's stuck with me and when my dog died I laid down with him, cuddled him for hours until he passed, broke my heart but I couldn't let him go with out me there as I promised him from the time we had him. I would do the same for any animal.
I knew someone who had New Variant CJD it is a terrible death and he was such a kind man.That is so lovely that the farmer did that - and that you cuddled your dog until he passed. It would have given him great comfort to have you by his side.
They are good prices, some are dear in Cumbria.@Annb hug for the pain caused by sharing your God given baking gifts and love. Would I pay for that particular fetchum? No mainly because I'm quite (o.k.very) brand conscious and more than slightly cynical. I would and do pay for Channel No 1 since I know and trust the brand and it is something JKP likes. Where the cynical element comes in is with e.g. @dunelm's result yesterday. I don't think I would consider most pub Sunday lunches or food generally and at £10 I don't think I'd "risk" it. Having said that, next Sunday we are treating #3 son and partner to Sunday lunch - sharing roast for £35 seems about/just below the area rate but we've eaten there and I can just about work out how they might produce a reasonable meal for that price due to their huge estate supplying ingredients. The estate has other food outlets, a butchery and farm shop. The other issue is a venue for MIL's wheelchair - there is a popular carvery in Ely we've used - Libre found it ok. £14.95 Sunday roast is fine but not suitable for MIL - too crowded/busy. We've booked at Sunday's venue and explained the make up of the group and where we would like/need to be seated.Take it easy today.
I can see the Merrick from near my house on a good day. That's interesting @dunelmI was once dropped by helicopter with a bunch of other blokes onto the top of The Merrick, the highest mountain in southern Scotland. On a clear day you get a view of Snowdon, the longest 144 mile uninterrupted view in The British Isles. During the week up there we got one view - the rest of the time it snowed.
Alf I would have thought he worked at the local butchers and she knew he didn't make a very good job of the ground beef!Afternoon all including Ladies and Gentlemen been doing stuff this Morening.
Blood sugars were 7.9 this morning.
On our way back to Tilehurst Towers earlier Mrs J who was driving commented on a male pedestrian walking along the pavement with the words “ he’s a right little mincer “ I nearly fell of my car seat. If me, me’s or myself had said that Mrs J who is very woke tolerant would have given a huge telling off. One rule for her and lots of rules for me it seems.
Stay safe all, stay dry if possible, remember woke to be or not to woke be is your choice not mine.
Nuff said for today.
Brilliant piece from the Guardian, Ian.As I said earlier I watched the Hunger Games last night. Right on cue this gel's chums seem to be throwing her under the bus. Blue on blue is always nasty. May the odds be (n) ever in your favor Suella. Kemi also messed up by misreading figures

The article is one of Crace's better ones. She looks just like a sulky year 9 (14 year old) waiting to be suspended.
About now would be the time to warn viewers of inapropriate language and attitudes of the eraAlf I would have thought he worked at the local butchers and she knew he didn't make a very good of the ground beef!
Thanks. Crace was a heroin addict and is a Spurs fan - season ticket holder. I can only endorse one of those but he is frequently very funny and often very moving when writing on addiction.Brilliant piece from the Guardian, Ian.
That is another language I learnt in my teens!About now would be the time to warn viewers of inapropriate language and attitudes of the era
It was clear in Salturn (not my photo)Tired today, had a walk in the hamlet late this am and have done so for last three days.
Very cold this am although dry up here.Our
Ash have lost their leaves first, some of the others still have leaves particularly our beech which is a bonnie colour. They are all losing them fast.
It must have rained a lot in the night the river has come up and the water is muddy whereas over the weekend it was clear and a Dipper was singing its warbling song from rocks in the river showing promise of new life next year.
Our friends have a Mistle Thrush in the garden guarding the Holly tree so it keeps the berries for its own larder.
The natural world is a constant source of pleasure.
Too much cloud and rain to see the Northern lights last night.

I have no idea what you are talking about Lamont!That is another language I learnt in my teens!
I still slip up every conversation I have with Mrs L and at footie games, especially when we are very poor, that is nearly every game!
That is very sad @lindisfelI knew someone who had New Variant CJD it is a terrible death and he was such kind man.

We had dreadful internet connection and were advised to move to BT (by an employee of of our then internet provide). We are so pleased that we moved to BT. They have been brilliant.Just arranged to switch from iTalk (phone) and Entanet (broadband) to BT. Price is better than I expected and speed offered much faster than Entanet, if it delivers. Not sure that the speed will be anywhere near as good as they expect, but they cover themselves on that because it depends on several elements which I don't understand. It was a joint effort by Neil and myself because I couldn't hear what the man was saying and couldn't understand the stuff he sent on e-mail. But from 20 November we should have the new service. Neil did warn the man that we have a dodgy line but he said wait and see if it improves once we are switched on to BT. If it doesn't they will send out an engineer.
It's all happening this month. We also have a surveyor coming to see if we can put in an air source heat pump instead of the oil boiler. We'll also need improved insulation in the loft - what we have is 48 years old and well below current spec. We might be able to put in solar panels as well, although I am not convinced that they will be very helpful this far north. We do have neighbours that have put them on their roofs though, so maybe.... If our house is suitable it will mean emptying the loft (horrors!) and even getting electrics re-routed - the existing cables were put in when the loft was one, wide open space and will have to be re-organised to retain access with the improved insulation.
At least I only have to try to help organise it all, not to do anything physical. Not sure how to empty the loft - there's almost a whole extra household of stuff up there plus lengths of wood, crockery, old paperwork, working gear and what have you, so where that can go I haven't a clue. Might have to hire a container of some sort to put outside. We already have two smallish sheds outside but they are full of "stuff" as well (bikes, a gas boiler that cost a fortune but was never installed and we can't get anyone to take away, garden tools but I have no idea what else). We really should make an effort to get rid of stuff but now the task is a mammoth one and I, for one (Neil for another) prefer not to think about it.
Well all that sounds so reasonable on paper. A bit like when my parents moved to France. They had two garages and the were stuffed full of old tea chests containing books - thousands of books, some going back to when dad trained as a shrink. What a magpie he is.
