Prizes.


Bright morning sunshine. Sophie sits on the grooming table while Angus chats on the phone to men in dark suits This has been quite a quiet week .
-NH primary
-Johnson fires his Chancellor
-Merkels last legs
-Roger Stone
-Flynn
-Coronavirus
-Yang/Bennet/Deval drop out
-Bloomberg on the up
-Onto Nevada
-The vengeance of Trump 
-Esper doesn't like Huawei
-Kelly and Vindman and Bolton
-Barr stirs
-Prosecutors resign
-McCabe
Little do the serious Japanese men know that a Polish Lowland Sheepdog princess is having her tummy tickled as we talk.


Angus and the family diva head off to buy post Valentines Day flowers. Now on a 2-for-1 sale.

The bakers wife is having one of those days. She's made 20 identical tarts. A hand written sign says they're E5 each so perhaps they're yesterdays ?


At the trendy ( or what the locals count as trendy ) fast food outlet the seasonal burger has a Reblochon topping.


Our morning croissant warrants a 7/10 from Angus and a wild tail waving moment from Sophie.


A pretty idyllic start to a Sunday morning with a Polish Lowland Sheepdog diva.


As with humans so with dogs . No prizes for guessing which category Sophie falls into: https://twitter.com/backt0nature/status/1228531629703954433

And this one which must surely be photoshopped ? : https://twitter.com/backt0nature/status/1225816489170784258

And it has been very windy in London as this clip shows : https://twitter.com/AeronewsGlobal/status/1228716036117221376

I'm happy to know the serious Japanese men are getting wise counsel. The mood here is very strange at the moment, while everyone waits to see whether all hell is about to break loose with this virus, just five months before the Tokyo Olympics are set to begin. As to the landing in London, I wonder what that felt like from inside the plane?

Heard the first interview with an athlete planning for peak fitness this summer. The thought of a delay in the Olympics or a change of venue 9 what would that do ?) was not popular. This Los Alamos note that was published last week highlights the fact that no one knows :

The A-380 looks as if it's hovering....incredible. The dogs here, would have been in the 'dry group'. Though they don't mind wading in puddles and/or water, they don't like water falling on them.

clip 1 - ROFL... absolute cackle
clip 2 - Malinois are known for their athleticism , so no, I don't necessarily think the clip is 'enhanced'
clip 3 - That's my preferred airline... this gives you an idea why!!!

Off to have my cold pizza brekky. That's what fills the lack of even 70 percentile croissants in the Hutch! YAM xx

The half price flowers look nice. I think your baker is having a break down.

I try to avoid the news - too depressing although I am somewhat obsessed with watching and reading articles about the coronavirus.

I can't believe you discussed all those issues with the Japanese men in dark suits, yet failed to mention the important fact that Sophie was enjoying a tummy tickle.
Both Bertie and I rather like the sound of a Reblochon Burger.
Cheers! Gail.

Had to smile at the "dry" group - but a Lab and a Golden retriever amongst them - most unusual! Not sure where Inca Lab. would be. She doesn't mind a paddle in a puddle, but not sure about a swim - she isn't happy when the bath time hose comes out.
Looking closely at those tarts at the bakers - they look as though they have been overcooked and the cases are burned - maybe that's why they are reduced! Not very appetising.

Hope Hicks should maybe be on that list too.

The dogs and water tweet made me laugh. I loved how the dogs that didn't like water were together in solidarity.

Your "office" on the outdoor table with Sophie is best office ever.

Bouquets of pink tulips for 'The Font' I trust.
Like Kim, I'd add Hope Hicks to the list too. Apparently she and Melania are quite close, and I suspect the latter pleaded with her to return to the White House in order to help soothe what seems to be an increasingly agitated President. Still planning on voting for Bloomberg on March 3.

Love the video (and the office phone call). Our Airedales (bred to hunt along the River Aire, though you'd never know it) so hate water they walk round puddles.
