Glad you have a new dog sitter but how weird about the demise of your old one. I admit I was amused to hear Olga passed the dog sitter test, and I had assumed the dog sitter was the one being tested, not Olga. As always, I love seeing London through your eyes. I am even thinking the man and I should do a jaunt across the pond sometime. This is entirely due to the way your posts have revised my view of that city where I spent the least favorite year of my childhood. One must always be willing to evolve, so thank you for facilitating that.37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-39042993021275237692016-12-06T06:33:51.050+00:002016-12-06T06:33:51.050+00:00I had not heard the term "sweet light," ...I had not heard the term "sweet light," so thanks Blondi and Catalyst for pointing that out!

I always wondered why anyone would sign up for the alternating highs and abusive lows on that show. You'll notice I DID watch it - it was back when my kids were at home and it was something they watched so I did, too. Which was a help, really, in trying to assess Mr T's behavior.<br /><br />It must be a huge relief to have the Christmas care sorted out. Sounds like a good place; well done.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-65851177255865681572016-12-05T18:17:51.149+00:002016-12-05T18:17:51.149+00:00Beautiful weather!

Police are eager to speak with a man of average build with a skinhead haircut and a shifty demeanour. He is believed to be of North American descent and is probably in hiding somewhere in west London. He has a distinctive "Make America Great Again" tattoo on his buttocks.If seen, the public are advised not to approach him but to immediately contact West Hampstead police on 07920 233766Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.com
