Didn't we just know it!!

Oh I love that picture!! @rotfl: @rotfl: That must have been a very small dog or a very large dishwasher! :D I had a friend who had a 'mastiff' type dog with droopy jowls which dribbled.

It's cotton/linen mix. I've had it ages and shan't use it. Yours If you want it.

:tantrum: Well! One week later and still testing Positive!! :doh: D/H and I have taken over that corner by the window overlooking the lake for a bit longer! Have to say, though, that Dr Tiny Cat and the team of Elves have looked after every need. We have been entertained by a Troupe of Red squirrels...

Well we escaped the worst of the floods and high winds Scotland has been subjected to.... BUT.... I have now tested positive for COVID :tantrum: :doh: So far both D/H and I have escaped despite being in close contact recently with the dreaded lurgy.
