Good grief. That's odd. I'm not seeing it!  I can only presume someone must be playing with the controls...  [Edit: Oh, it's on the home page! Gotcha. Hm, that's rather nice.] |

If it's any comfort, Ron also now has 7 stars (and, presumably, a blue name when he's online): I noticed this morning, but didn't comment as I thought it might have happened ages ago and I'd just been slow on the uptake.

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

It would be something for the child to look forward to for a start. He's had far too many goodbyes and not nearly enough hellos.
 That's sad - but happy too.  All that extra exercise will either kill me or make me fitter. Hey ho.
Fingers crossed for fitter! |

Oh Gawd, and as for me, well, Domestic Goddess? Er, certainly not that, that sounds like it would have Connotations. Domestic God? Oh dear, that doesn't work does it? Never mind, neither is remotely applicable anyway.
There's an armchair behind me piled high with recorders, clarinets, chalumeaus and reeds of all shapes and sizes in an organisation-defeating heap. And two of the clarinets have migrated to the sofa. As well as about 10 Mundstückschnüre.
And it was a mistake to let any of the music onto the floor. Just one little stack of stuff that belongs to the ensemble, I thought. It didn't stop there. Dearie me no.
Really! Mr.Sudden. I would have expected an experienced musician like yourself to know better than to place any instrument where it might be sat upon! |

Ah, I know better than to sit on my armchair or sofa. They have instruments all over them.  Or rather, they did have until my tidying frenzy from earlier on today. Prompted by this very thread. |

If and when I have a tidying frenzy, I can't find anything afterwards. I've tidied up in my own way , which is moving things into another room where I hope no-one will look. |

Had a frantic tidying frenzy this morning as we had house-viewers round - everything hurled into cupboards, won't be able to find anything now. I always know where things are if the house is in a mess...

Mary, we obviously have something else in common other than Britten: 'relocation rather than tidification' is something of a Dough motto, also. MJ, I understand that completely, too  |

Morning each. Lovely sunny autumn morning here and the sea looks, unlike yesterday, blue and calm. This morning after the school run is going to be largely taken up with collecting Dudley and introducing him to his new home. Wish me luck. |

Luck, Milly?
With your abilities, I'm sure you'll take it all in your stride. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you anyway, though it doesn't half make it harder to type....

Morning all,
A gorgeous morning here in London - bright and clear. I won't see much of it as I have a very heavy day of serious meetings; but as I came through Victoria I saw a man dressed as a lemon handing out leaflets, and I reflected that I have little to complain about in my working life ....

At every one of these [classical] concerts in England you will find rows of weary people who are there, not because they really like classical music, but because they think they ought to like it. (Shaw, Don Juan in Hell)

Thank you Ron.  Well here he is, duly installed. He's had a manic race around, marking his territory in the garden and now he's lying here quite contentedly at my feet whilst I'm on the computer. He came away with me without a backward glance! True male!! Heartless! Seriously though, I hope he doesn't pine. At the moment he doesn't realise the enormity of what has happened to him, he just thinks I've taken him for a walk and an outing somewhere else for a change - at least that's what I think he'll think, if he thinks at all. Do dogs think?  |

Do dogs think? Yes Milly, it's clear that dogs do think. You've just said earlier, they pine, that means they are thinking of something not currently in their environment. They also dream, I'm sure you know that too, they run in their dreams |

I'm sure, Milly, that if you make clear to Dudley that you are his pack leader now there should be very little to worry about. If you walk him as much as you said, and provide treats at appropriate moments he should be quite contented. I say all this as somebody who had as little as possible to do with dogs before I moved here, but since I have been responsible for exercising and training have learned a lot. And as John says, they do think. Probably mostly about interesting smells and catching things, but it is thinking in their own doggy way.
