Booming Banter

Precious Peeps it’s PITS here to whistle you into a wonderful weekend.

Well that was my intent but I’m somewhat shaky.

Nasty boom booms came past around 4:00 am and did my little head in.

They continued for a good while and then Dad had to get up and ready for work so I was left to “be brave”

You know I’m beautiful but I’m not always brave.

I tried howling “my favorite things” like Maria in the Sound of Music but it doesn’t work if you’re Granny is snoring and all you have for company is a Grumpy Gizzard.

All I can hope is that the heavenly theatricals are over for the weekend.

I’m putting on a happy face and trying to pretend all is well.

If your afraid of anything try my tip. Your big smile may make others happy too or it may just frighten off any nasty.

I love you almost as much as myself.

If you are anything like me you will have heard enough about Resurrection Lilies to last you a life time.

Ma is driving us all nuts.

Not only are we surrounded by them she is now singing about them.

Says they remind her of Delibes Flower Duet in Lackme so we’re listening to it non stop. She even has it on YouTube TV!!!

Mercy!!!!

If that’s not bad enough she is singing along and see ain’t no soprano.

Any hyenas around for a perfect pairing?

Precious Peeps it’s PITS here to heave you over another humpty.

I fear I may be in the dog house once more with Granny.

I found her stash of outdoor toys and got busy strewing them around the yard.

When she caught me I surreptitiously stored one under the coffee table for a chew.

She caught me when it had become more an egg cup than a tennis ball.

Oops.

One mad Granny.

I gave her the mournful I’m so sorry look.

Of course I wasn’t a bit!

She’s still a bit cool with me but that’s just Grumpy Granny.

Silly old thing but the toys back in the same place so I might just run and have fun now.

Hope you have toys too.

Have a playful day and I’ll talk to you Friday perhaps from the pound!

Just kidding she’s not that Grumpy!!

You know Ma and me always follow the news from Northern Ireland well yesterday there was a story that caught our eye.

A cleric of the Church of Ireland Archdeacon Robert Miller has been appointed to be the new chaplain at The Chapel Royal Hampton Court Palace in London.

If you’ve never been there, like me, you must add this historic gem to your bucket list. Ma says it’s one of her favorite places in the whole wide world.

Just imagine walking down the aisle of the chapel where Henry Vlll once lived and all the Kings and Queens that came after him.

What a phenomenal place to work. Lucy Worsley the historian who does all the TV stories that we all love so much has her office there.

There must definitely be a vibe of Tudor times ahead for Rev Rob we can hear the lutes from here.

Bet you’ll be humming Greensleeves all day now!!

Well we needed it! The rain that is! We got a lot in a few hours! So much so we were on flood watch!

The downpours did a job on the Resurrection Lilies though. The poor things got battered to the ground.

Ma left them for a few hours to see if the fallen flamingos would rise up again but they didn’t.

So she cut a big bunch and brought them indoors.

You simple couldn’t let all that beauty so to waste. You gotta take what you get!

They’ve popped!!

Our resurrection lilies are back in force.

What a great surprise they were when we saw them for the first time last summer during our renovation.

Now that we live here we can see them all day every day.

It’s amazing how quickly they shoot up and they look like flamingos from a distance.

Up close they are so beautiful and very elegant on their long stems.

Ma couldn’t resist and cut a few and brought them in.

I love our yard. It has some surprises around every corner.

Poor Dad got in trouble with Ma yesterday.

She had friends coming over who’d seen the new ranch when it was in the middle of renovations and were keen to see the finished work.

Ma dusted and swiftered and swept the deck and such before she went to work.

The friends had gone to the tearoom for lunch and when they’d finished and Ma did the dishes and closed up shop they all came home here.

As agreed Ma came in before the visitors to get me and the niece into the Bro’s room out of the way.

She almost had a fit when she walked in.

Dad was in the kitchen making my dinner. He’d chopped up some sausage and microwaved it with some of my kibble to make me a special treat.

The whole kitchen smelt like a pet food factory.

I thought Ma was going to blow a fuse. She had to explain that the house didn’t usually smell like this when she opened the door to let her friends in.

To me it was a divine odor but Ma is still huffing.

She says men don’t think. Well I do. I thought I want that good dinner and instead I get locked up!

Precious Peeps it’s me the PERFECT ONE here to whistle you into a wonderful weekend.

Yesterday I made an escape bid.

Granny went for our groceries because she said our fridge was like “Mother Hubbards Cupboard”.

When she came back she brought one load in and left the door to the back hall slightly ajar.

I saw my chance and sneaked out and you know what she didn’t even notice!

It was only when she went for the second bag and I didn’t come sniffing that she realized I’d gone.

Aren’t I smart.

Alas she is smarter! Not in the least pretty but smart!!!

She hollered “Oh Nala do you want to go car”. I was inspecting the neighbor back yard at the time but I believed her so when she opened the door I jumped in the trunk.

She closed it and said she’d be right back.

After a while when she’d put all the food for the week away she showed up with my leash, slung it round my neck and dragged me back into the house.

Bummer I could have been officially declare missing by now if I hadn’t listened to her plot.

Next time I’m heading off for an extended period to seek a handsome prince. I need a man in my life who doesn’t look like a piece of grey fluff.

In the meantime I’ll look for every opportunity to do a runner!!!

It pays to be actively seeking solutions to make your dreams come true as it keeps you fit and fab like me. Try it and have fun.

Be fabulous and I’ll keep up my good work of being the one and only Precious Princess!

Do you have days when glitches start as soon as you wake up.

So it was this morning with our WiFi.

It’s still in and out. We’re typing this on 5G. Oh no wait it’s back on!!!

Ma doesn’t like this it gives her a bad sense for what lies ahead she imagines there are going to be hiccups.

I tell her to chill. It’s only technology. It’s not alive. It can’t give you a hug or snuggle. It’s not able to bite you either!!

She says she knows but she’s still anxious
