A beautiful scudding cloud type morning. Bob and master sit on the concrete storm drain and put the world to rights. Sophie doesn't want to put the world to rights. She wants to chase small fluttery things among the stalks of wheat. It goes without saying that any small fluttery things are alerted to her presence by her constant squeals of excitement. They are in no danger.
Bob listens patiently to his masters thoughts on whether China's President Xi will show up at the G-20 meeting in Osaka. Our conversation is interrupted by the passage of the howling Westie in the green metallic Toyota Land Cruiser. After that the young garagiste sweeps by in his little black Citroen with the raspy exhaust note. Two farmers in white Renault vans go along the lane in the other direction. By this time all pretence at discussing weighty matters has gone. It's time to think about curly croissant ends.
'The Font' has returned to the wee house in Scotland to deal with decorators. Before going Angus is told when to put a quiche in the oven for lunch. Maybe I got the settings wrong but the quiche swells up like a souffle. 'The Font' is called and expresses some surprise.
Sophie has woken up to the fact that the standard of the in house cuisine may have taken a downward turn.
Don't think this guy can win but good to see a politician setting out an adult , lucid, thoughtful approach to world affairs. He admits that things can never go back to the way they were before 2016 which is refreshing realism. Meanwhile his British counterparts are busy trying to show their populist credentials by telling us they tried cocaine 20 years ago. The contrast is beyond embarassing . https://www.nbcnews.com/video/watch-pete-buttigeig-s-first-speech-on-foreign-policy-and-national-security-61714501707

Bertie and I both think the quiche looks perfectly acceptable, and are wondering if the tenants have been wearing spiked running shoes in the Wee House. Cheers! Gail.
Spiked shoes would do it
Wondering if deck paint would work for your floors.
Love the picture of Surprised Sophie. Hope the puffy quiche tasted good.
So would four or more paws of hard dog nails under the dinner table! Check what the floor looks like by the front door.
Hari om
...spiked furniture would play its part. Those are very severe feet on those chairs... stiletto-like! Golly I would love to ruffle Bob's ears! YAM xx
I saw a bumper sticker on a car a while back - it was in red, white and blue so had a "patriotic" theme - and said "Any adult" - this was in America but it sure could apply anywhere!
Hoping you're wrong for once--something about Mayor Pete rings true. Couldn't stomach one episode of the current idjut's TV show, much less his presidency.
Those floorboards look as though they have had some hard wear, and I agree with Yamini - those spiked chair legs would be lethal. A painted floor is always a gamble unless treated kindly - better to leave the wood unpainted, it looks better and wears well.
The quiche looks quite inviting and I'm sure it tasted fine, and no doubt the PONs didn't complain !
A quiche soufflé--looks good, could just catch on.
