Hair wash Tuesday

  • Tesco: A small, uneventful shop where Mum forgot each item we were getting within seconds of going to look for it, but that is nothing unusual…
  • Celebratory ‘we did the shopping’ cake choice:Dad suggested no cakes this week 🤷‍  Mum and I revolted and bought two to share between us.  Mum suggested we eat them in the car so we didn’t have to share with Dad.  🤣 Tempting, but we didn’t…
  • Cooked:No time…see below:

Last Tuesday I thought I’d broken Mum and Dads hearts.  The previous Thursday I’d taken Percy – my three year old working cocker spaniel  – to visit to see how it would go (a previous visit when he was younger had resulted in dad sitting in Percy’s crate to avoid the…enthusiasm. 🤦🏼‍♀️)

It went amazingly well and it turned out the ‘you can bring him anytime you want’ they said as we left actually meant ‘please bring him back next time’.

Only I didn’t.  And they had even written on the calendar that he would be coming.  I felt terrible.

So, this Tuesday I drove the 50 odd miles to Kent with the window open as Percy likes to feel the wind in his ear floof and bops me on the shoulder if I close the window for any length of time…

Percy stayed with Dad while Mum and I did Tesco.  Percy growled and barked to protect Dad when a strange man walked in the back door (the strange man was actually painting the outside of the house, but Percy was taking no chances in his role of Good Boy) and was a Very Good Boy for the entire day.  Apart from the bit where he got slightly carried away helping me wash Mums hair…

We did ball throwing, bluebell walking, hair washing and chatting.

You can see it all in three minutes in this weeks Tuesday TV .

Ta dah!:
