I often see my friends blogs with proverbs on them, so i did a little searching and this one made me smile

I hope it makes you smile too

Is regretting posting about LORD STANLEY!

For those following the Canucks and the Bruins will know by now that within 20 minutes we were losing 0-4, this is completely unacceptable. Did i get too excited too soon? YA THINK !

ohhh hang on its now 4-1, a slight glimmer of hope

come on Canucks ya can do it !!!!!!!!!!!

Hormonal Dogs

I have two labrador bitches who for the past 7 days have been on heat!

They are funny but quite annoying at the same time, the chocolate lab sulks, nests, moans, and is super protective of HER 'things' its quite funny to see her like that, she usually nests under my bed, her squeeky toys and worn socks are usually piled high.

The black lab is totally different, she behaves like a male dog ..if you know what i mean, i have to remind her she cant make babies, she goes off her food, she sleeps alot and is sooooo clingy with me its irritating

So yesterday husband decided to 'switch it up' and suggested we get a golden lab as well, thats fine i said but i cant walk 3 dogs at the same time! although it would be cute to have 1 of each colour, something we have wanted to do for a while, but i didnt say no, maybe after all the visitors have been this year.

So watch this space !

Two years!!!!!

Well it's two years today since we packed everything we own and sent it to Canada, boarded the plane at Manchester with the dogs and tortoises in cargo and a suitcase each. We came for my nursing job and it's been a tough two years with many ups and downs but we made it. Still not permanent residents yet but we believe good things come to those who wait. I cannot thank my hubby, family and friends for their support in our journey xxxx

Porch Refurb

As usual I couldn't have a lie in this morning so after doing the usual chores of washing and laundry, I decided to give the front porch a much needed refurb....

Before

I bleached the ceiling, siding, gutters and floor and then it was off to do a spot of shopping....the result was this :

After

I love the new chairs, Tom bought them as a house warming present from his first wage.... thanks Tom I look forward to sitting on the porch in the morning with a coffee.

The finishing touches were a pair of hanging baskets, I just love the burgundy viola's.

Hope you like the make-over
