It’s gone from the remake of the great flood to record highs overnight.

I suppose it is summer and I shouldn’t moan.

Heat makes you crazy though.

Did you hear about the dude in Rome who turned left instead of right and landed on the Spanish Steps. He got completely stuck but the police were gentle on him because he was an ancient.

I hate to say it but that’s the sort of thing Ma might do!

She’s not great on directions.

East and West don’t work for her she goes by landmarks.

So she should be glad to have me because I work with the nose!!

Blessing#2445-No Way!!!

Precious Peeps it’s the PERFECT one here to project you into a wonderful weekend.

As you heard from the stinking Gizz I had a little mishap with Granny’s guzzler but she was gracious enough to forgive me almost immediately.

I intend to lead a new life walking from henceforth in her footsteps.

She is such a saint you know and takes such good care of me.

I know that in the past I have had a few misdemeanors that others would have kept record of but not Gran.

I trust you have someone in you life just like her.

I put it down to all that beer she drinks full of divine distillate.

Hope you have one too this weekend as it’s set to get as hot as hades here!

Be like me and let the tongue hit it!

Chin chin!!

Blessing#2444-Pints of Pitty

You know who is in deep trouble?

It’s not hard to work it out.

The PIT of course.

She knocked over Ma’s beer with her big tail and the mess was everywhere.

She was fooling around with her Dad so he got the evil eye from Ma and was simple told “clean it up”.

No please or thank you : just do it!

I went underground briefly as it was a moment of impending doom.

Fortunately peace was restored before bedtime.

There is enough tension in this world at present!!!!

Blessing#2443-Brewing Up

Precious Peeps it’s PITS as ever PERFECT and here to help you over yet another very wet humpty.

Yesterday Granny had on this Irish raincoat that made her look like a fat yellow squeaky bath duck.

We didn’t get very far because while the impermeable was extremely effective in preventing inundation it also was like walking in a sauna.

Today she decided we are just getting wet!

Now I’m not fond of the tears from heaven so since this doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon I’m looking for personal solutions.

I hit on this and think it’s very stylish.

Granny says she’s not struggling to get that on me and it could be a danger to passing pedestrians.

Personally I feel it’s divine just like me.

Blessing#2442-Haute Couture

Are you getting worried about this tit for tat in the Middle East?

Ma is keeping cool, Dad is glued to the TV and the Bro has declared World War lll.

It must be horrible for the people and pets in both Israel and Iran.

Can you imagine the noise? It would be like July 4th fireworks on steroids.

Who can step in to mediate?

Jimmy Carter is gone so I rooting for Clinton or Bush or Obama to step up to the challenge and get their suitcases packed

Maybe all three of them can unite together to broker a peace deal.

I’d go too if they need a canine companion

Blessing#244-Peace Makers Please

This Father’s Day malarkey is all well and good but one might consider going to eat at an establishment where canines are welcome.

I know that they had been out noshing yesterday at lunchtime because I could smell the goat curry on their clothes not to mention the puris and tandoori chicken.

The one advantage of this errant behavior is that Ma is induced into a post prandial coma so we got to have an extended napping session.

That suited me fine as the niece was banished to her own chamber and I got some much needed me time with Ma.

Hope that you enjoyed some time with your Pa too if he’s still on this planet if not hope you had some sweet dreams about him anyway!!

Blessing#2440-Spicy Daddy

As expected I had to endure the entire Trooping before being taken for a trot.

I was close to desperate when the red arrows flew past.

By this time it was wicked warm outside and very humid so with the nieces tongue hitting the pavement after we got round the small loop we came home.

I was a bit miffed because I was very compliant during the entire Royal roadshow.

I didn’t bark more than thrice.

Did you like my use of that oldie worldie word?

Goes well with bearskins and brigades don’t you think.

Anyway it was a “jolly good show”.

Ma and me aren’t biased at all but we think we know who had the best party!!!

Blessing#2439-Brits

Today if you’re a Brit like Ma you should be glued to the TV or present in person to watch Trooping the Colour ( please note we have adopted the proper English spelling for this occasion)!

We of course will have SKY news on and partake of our brekkie as the King does his thing.

This year he has a little competition for press coverage as there is a big parade happening this side of the pond too.

Officially it’s for a celebration of the 250th anniversary of the US Army.

It’s also the Presidents birthday!

Now this gets confusing because it really is the Presidents birthday but it’s not really the Kings birthday it’s his OFFICIAL BIRTHDAY.

Is it any wonder the world is in such a confusing state?

Really I feel totally jet lagged.

Fortunately though there is five hours difference between GMT and EST so we don’t need a split screen.

Pomp and Circumstance to y’all!!!

Blessing#2438-Décalage Horaire

Precious Peeps it’s PITS as always PERFECT here to make sure that your weekend gets off to a great start with some good vibrations.

I’m in that Beach Boy mood because I’ve heard so much of their music these past twenty four hours.

I think I’d have fitted in well in the sixties.

Sun, sand, surf is just my cup of tea.

Speaking of which Granny made some gluten free peanut butter cookies yesterday that cooked to the consistency of concrete so we have to rush now to make some more.

I don’t understand her need to do everything at breakneck speed.

I keep telling her to chill and slow down but you know what she won’t listen.

So her loss is my gain because my teeth can handle the toughest trauma.

Be like me and take a great big chunk of happiness out of every occasion!!!

Blessing#2437-Dietary Restrictions

So yesterday we learned that a Beach Boy has gone to surf the big ocean in the sky.

Ma was jigging around the living room as we listened to the news of Brian Wilson’s passing.

Not because she was happy but because she says no one can sit still when his tunes are played.

Always a big fan of the band she became a groupie after she saw them play live on the Mall at DC on July 4th 1980.

That was many strawberry moons ago but made a loving and lasting impression.

Such a talent and such a wonderful musical influence on so many.
