I'm thinking of the game we played when we were kids, competing to get to the top of a pile of dirt or gravel - whoever made it got to yell "I'm the king of the castle, and you're a dirty rascal!!" loljenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-829665068181209762019-09-10T17:57:05.016+01:002019-09-10T17:57:05.016+01:00As long as you didn't break the Rules . . .As long as you didn't break the Rules . . .Catalysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804837416104556928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-4203777321291524882019-09-10T16:47:40.171+01:002019-09-10T16:47:40.171+01:00What a beautiful view from your living room.

When I took my dad to London back in 2000, I made a reservation there and had a wonderful meal with my dad who also enjoyed it even though he was not much of a connoisseur. I even remember that I had Dover sole for dinner and it was delicious. They also wheeled a cart with a huge block of stilton to the table in case we wanted to have a little cheese after dinner. I remember that scene in Downton Abbey because I swear they were sitting at the same table I sat at. The next time I visit London let's go!<br />I love that photo of Olga carefully watching her domain. Your garden looks so green and lush.

She simply doesn't want his (representative) cooties. Besides, the doll probably scares the bejeebers out of her. Just like the orange idiot does most humans.<br /><br />My Dad loved to go to Rules way back when (he died in early 1980s).

I know that if were a dog I would have chewed him to pieces by now and spat him out all over the place. I guess that Olga must be a staunch redneck Republican though slightly more intelligent than the rest of them.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.com
