We’re headed down to Lise and Richard’s in a little while for some chat and wine. If I don’t see them tonight or tomorrow, it’ll be mid-December before we all have a chance to catch up. We love them and I am pretty sure they love us right back. Lise told me that Richard said it was going to be “devastating” when we move to the States next year. Wow. It made me feel good to hear that we will be missed. That is very sweet. I get a huge kick out of him. He’s completely genial, charming, and easy to be around. And everyone knows how I feel about Lise. She’s wonderful, pure and simple.
They are dog sitting a friend’s cocker spaniel puppy, who apparently is a real hellion, especially when compared to Henry, king of all dogs. Anyway, this dog has been up baying in the middle of the night the past few nights and won’t sleep alone….Should be interesting to see how he and H get along. Henry is a doll. The other night Liz was here with her dog, Louie, who is a Chihuahua and much more aggressive than Henry. He was nipping and goading Henry, but he just wasn’t bothered in the least. I know I ramble on about him constantly, but his docility is really amazing. He is the dog I have always longed for and I cannot believe how fortunate I am to have been paired with him! I always wonder about his other life and how he came to be lost on a country road with no tags or collar. The guy who found him went to all the shelters and police stations in the area and no one reported him missing. Someone had taken good care of him and had taken the time to teach him tricks…Sad, but I couldn’t give him up now if you paid me a million dollars.
We had Lisa, Steve, Vikki and Gary over for dinner last night. The girls are vegetarians so I made a vegetarian chili, which seemed to please everyone. The real showstopper was dessert – sticky toffee pudding. It was pure sin. Scrummy! We had a lot of laughs as usual. They were telling me English and Irish slang words for private parts. It’s always good to be enlightened…
Have I mentioned about how nervous this election is making me? I am literally losing sleep. What is wrong with half my country that they cannot see through this half wit charlatan?
