  1. Hope it goes well, Lee. I had my nineteenth colonoscopy in October, the prep is the worst part, the actual procedure is fine. 🤗🤗🤗

    Thank you Daddy D!
  3. Home! Yes, and within 30 min Spawn of Satan was caught by me balancing on arm of sofa to chew a 19th-century display cabinet. I’ve hidden the damage with a cushion but I fear Daddy Paco won’t be fooled…..
  4. I will post some snaps! Now for the journey home. At least in the car they are a dream and not a nightmare (well, except for Lilibeth who is trying to chew through her safety belt…….).

    Moving In

    Who could forget him with his ill-fitting jackets and Stef’s attempts to get rid of him.
  6. Sadistic English language teachers, such as me, delight in torturing our students with the intricacies of English pronunciation. wishing @weinerdog a very good and peaceful 2025, something my evil puppies are doing all they can to prevent me from having one. Cheers
  7. I was thinking of you during yesterday’s appalling behaviour by Lilibeth and Greta, both of whom had peed on the rush matting in the hall to the holiday apartment. One then decided it would be fun to run off and play in the field with the owner’s rescue dog who was not clued into how dachshunds have to be refined even at play…… This pm Lili has thrown up four times on Paco’s bed (hee hee) and appears to be coming into season just as we are leaving. Where are those old Valium tablets, when I need them?

    Thank you! @Summerabbacat described my humour as “quirky”… or just plain twisted. 😈

    Yep! And the not so wealthy too. From a Notting Hill friend: “He wants to do pears in red wine for Xmas eve, lovely but I’m not using my 90$ a bottle claret. I suppose I will have to get a bottle of red from the supermarket”…… How the other half lives

    Guys, thank you all for the comments! I hated Stephen from the word go, but then this twisted idea formed in my mind... Hopefully, Carlos H would forgive me......

    I totally agree with you. It ain’t hard to click a like/love button or even “a thank you, great chapter”. Mark, Carlos H and others have ready played an important role for me, not just as entertainment but rather helping me, and I suspect others, feel better about themselves. Well said @sandrewn
  18. A heartwarming tale, told in Chris’ punchy style. A sweet tale to start the year.

    Thanks and a v happy new year to you and your feline companions. 🤗
  23. Carlos Hazday had a great sense of humour. Hopefully, he will forgive this black comedy submitted in homage. It makes complete sense only if you have read his CDMX first, where CJ arrives in Mexico City to work in the Embassy. oOo What if we all got it wrong? He groaned inwardly, not daring to disturb the giant of a man spilling over the armrest. Surreptitiously, he tried to reclaim at least part of the rest for himself. It was to no avail. The guy just grunted in his sleep and se
