Ebbed a bit ?


You'd think that at the age of six the PONs enthusiasm for starting the day might have ebbed a little. Not a bit of it. A day of high adventure awaits. Bob leaps into the back of the car. His sister objects. Bob gets down. Sophie gets up. Some things never change. All of this is done at a super fast pace.


At the bakers a hard choice. A big cake or two small ones ? We opt for the big chocolaty one. There are choux pastry slivers for my shaggy companions.


The 'Angus' beef looks very fatty. Instead we opt for some fillet for dinner. The PONs are given a taste of hamburger. This is gratefully received. Bobs tail hasn't stopped wagging since he woke up. Can this be normal for a dog ?


As the sun sets after a long day the PONs take up their spots at the front door. Bob lies awake on the stoop mulling a second Brexit referendum. Sophie settles down in front of him and is soon asleep. Her sleep is interrupted by a high pitched rasping noise. The village tikes have been given a drone to keep them busy. This alternates between hovering and swooping as it makes its way from east to west across the village. 


Dusk at The Rickety Old Farmhouse. Everything is quiet bar the sound of snoring coming from the family diva and the hornet like buzzing of the drone. The tikes have two weeks of school holiday in which to hone their drone flying proficiency. All is well with the world.

The "big chocolaty one" looks an excellent choice. Will the 'Font' be tempted to consume more than a sliver?

We agree with the cake choice. Pons asleep on the doorstop is a sign of the change in the weather I think.

The meat looks great today. A good day shopping and something for everyone.

And they're up and out early today with the infernal machine.

Half a spoonful as always.

Ir was 23 degrees yesterday and likely to be a bit hotter today. Warmer than a Scottish summer.

Isn't it wonderful that tikes do grow up! Of course not too soon for you.

Angus said...

Tikes do grow up. As you say it can't be too soon when they're neighbours.

I think you'd better take up a new hobby - Catapult!

Angus said...

Shotgun ?

Nooo, not possible that the Dynamic Duo is--are--six! Tempus is fugiting.
Drones sometimes have cameras attached, just saying. Perhaps this one will fly too close to the sun.

You can be sure drones have cameras attached
