ONLY IN AMERICA

Good morning Bloggets. It’s damp, dark and dirty in Fifi Blogget land today.

The men are here fixing our step at last. Oh God. The house is shaking! I’m right at the back of the house and it’s flipping moving!

It’s one of those days when I am cold to the bone. I never knew what that meant until a couple of years ago.

Now for some good news, to my absolute delight, I awoke to my beautiful Canary, Irish you know?  Singing so strongly and sweetly this morning. My God, he is a tough little cookie?

I am so relieved. If we lived at the  other house, I tell you now I don’t know what we would have done as my friends work and my neighbours would not wee on us if we were on fire. Here, amazing. I feel so lucky and blessed. I am grateful to my Yam and DD, who helped us to move. Now we are here, to be able to call for help like that is amazing.

Oh hell, as I write, the men are in my back garden.

I thought I was out of sight hiding here, but nope?

Better not touch my Elephant? Haha.

Yes, I have them outside too.

God, I hate workmen you know? I find them so invasive and always something goes wrong.

Hub in the office working. Teen at college.

Dogs haring up my living room. Haha.

Me? Chatting to you. I can’t do anything really as the doorbell has already gone three times.

Still no currency for Hub to go to America on Wednesday. God knows, every time he goes away, he has this stress of last minute arrivals.

It’s funny when my Yam and Dd lived in the states, I used to get some comfort out of the knowledge that they were there. Now they have moved, it’s like sending Hub anywhere else in the world.

Even though in parts of the states, it’s as far to get to hub from where they used to live to travelling from the UK. Still odd though.

I read a study saying that scientists have discovered that dogs share a part of the brain the same as humans. The sensitive part. So they show sadness and empathy when you are sad. I could have told them that?

Two out of three of our dogs put their heads on my knee when I am sad or ill.

Whenever Hub is away with his LC, LC gives out so much love, as though to say,

“I’m here Daddy, don’t worry?

They are beautiful things, dogs. I love them. Well, I love my bird too. Yesterday I really felt the pain as he went slamming to the ground in his cage. Never again, he is on the windowsill safe and he is still singing, though the men are out there banging and walking around.

Oh my God, the noise? Hahaha. My poor neighbours.

Right going now to try to do work in the kitchen. Till later a smile first before you leave me.

Something I found on a joke. Com
