Do you ever see something and wonder why you didn’t think of it yourself.

When I hit on this post with Ma this morning I was like « flip it we could have been billionaires »

Don’t you think it’s cute especially for sophisticated sorts like myself.

Of course you know who would want to be in on the act except she’d eat her adornments before you could say neckerchiefs.

Maybe I can do something similar for poop bags. Scooby’s Doo!!!

All the pals in Northern Ireland were posting spectacular pictures of the aurora on Thursday evening.

So Ma said « let’s see Scoob if we can pick up anything here »

We went out and pointed the iPhone north with flash off and what do you know we saw something.

Now granted this is not nearly as awesome as the heavens of the Emerald Isle but as Shauna, one of Ma’s school pals reflected « isn’t it amazing we are all witnessing the same cosmic delight across the globe »

Got me thinking of all the things we might be missing just because we haven’t looked.

Precious Peeps it’s your weekend warrior here to push you into a perfectly Pitty position.

I have been enjoying some beautiful autumn weather basking in the sun without baking to a crisp.

It is so cool in the morning that the old woman has to put coat and gloves on but it does spur her on to move a tad faster and further.

I am anticipating that shortly soup and stew will be back on the menu which is great because I get the tail end of carrots and celery to suck on.

The stinking Grey Gizzard isn’t keen on them so Granny gives them all to me.

That may explain why I’m so beautiful and he’s so ugly.

You gotta grab your veggies to be vivacious!!

If they won’t slip down smoothly slather on some ranch it helps. I leaned that from Grandpa.

Keep eating and have a wonderful weekend!

Ma loves Cold Play. One of our walking songs is Viva la Vida so I’m not opposed to the group myself.

They were on Today on Tuesday so we all had to shut up so Ma could swoon over Chris Martin.

Personally I don’t see what she sees in him he reminds me of a mix between Prince Harry and Mark Zuckerberg. In the doggie world he’d be a Harryberg!!

He can sing though and tinkle the ivories quite well but for me what make the group so good is the drummer.

Will really is a CHAMPION!!!

Precious Peeps it’s your very own Pitty Perfect here to help you have a happy Humpty Dumpty.

The stinking Gizz thinks he’s highly intelligent we’ll get this, he has nothing on me.

I too read ancient history and let me tell you what I came across.

A dog skeleton found alongside two horses and a chariot.

Pals this Pitty knows that while my ancestors may well have been sharpening their teeth on small shoes the stupid Scooby’s were chasing moving vehicles.

Wouldn’t you think being run over would have made an impact but no dear friend the message didn’t get through.

Hopefully he’ll meet a similar fate soon.

You know the best thing about Autumn? Snuggles are sweeter when you wake up and it’s cold.

Each morning around six Ma gets her phone from the living room and we peruse the world from our warm bed.

I crunch up close and we turn the lights out so the only little bit of illumination is from the apple screen.

I could stay like this for hours except after a while it gets uncomfortable trying to hold on.

So I get her to get up in time to get the coffee on, take me out for the business and be back in time for the headlines on TODAY at seven.

Must go or we’ll be late.

Ma and me love our history feed.

A good site with fun facts is « We love ancient world »

Yesterday they posted a pair of kids shoes from Palmyra an ancient city in modern day Syria.

The shoes are thought to be at least 2000 years old.

What might be apparent to you is the tiny size and detail that would suggest people were quite affluent.

What is clear to me is that the ancestors of Jaws must have been at large in those quarters.

I’d know a Pitty pattern with my eyes closed.

There is something reassuring about things that recur every year.

Take this weekend for example.

It’s the Lily Circle book sale.

There were more than 6000 books donated.

All the proceeds go to missions which is great.

It’s also lots of fun for people like Dad who are lovers of literature.

Ma gets in on the act too hunting for kids books that go down well with customers at the tearoom and of course she snaps up anything with a cup and saucer.

She also finds it hard to pass up on anything that has a picture of a dog on it.

Wonder why?

Earlier this week a post of a nurse in a hospital in Belfast in the 1970s looked so like Mom’s cousin Barbara that we couldn’t believe it wasn’t her.

Ma said even the glasses were the same!

How can this be? Well guess what it happened again only this time it was me in the spotlight.

You know that « Friends » gal that people love well her hound happens to be my double.

He’s called Clyde maybe because she’s so « Bonnie »

Oh I’m so smart maybe if she reads this she’ll adopt me too and I can escape the monster.
