Rainbow days.

There are good days.

Then there are days that are even better. 

Sometimes there are off the scale days when you get flakes of roast salmon from last nights dinner with your breakfast kibbles, have a walk on the beach, shoot the breeze with arthritic Archie and a group of wild Pomeranians , receive an ear tickle from the girl behind the bar in the student cafe AND are rewarded with a digestive biscuit. Those sort of days aren't merely good - they're the sort of day when rainbows appear as you walk along the track home.

So starts a Saturday morning with a family Polish Lowland Sheepdog who is experiencing a joy overload and skipping along with infectious happiness.


Whoever knew this existed at the hottest place on earth ? Can it really have hit C56.7 ? - https://www.oasisatdeathvalley.com/

Sophie's off the scale day has blessed me with a rainbow moment as I start mine.

How good it would be if all our days were as joyful as Sophie's and we're blessed with rainbows

I wish humans could be as naturally joyous as dogs without turning into Pollyanna.

Pretty clouds, merging with sea, sand a Sophie makes for a beautiful composition. We had a rainbow day here too in Aberdeen.

Good morning, Sophie and Angus and thank you for the immensely cheering start to my day.

Sophie, you have spread your joy around the planet. Even here in Florida where it is in short contentious supply at the moment!

One wonders why Domino's ever thought that they would succeed in Italy.

Angus said...

Jim - Someone at Dominos must have thought pineapple and sweet corn toppings were just what Italians were dreaming of.

All of the photos are wonderful (love the look of the sea behind Sophie) and the rainbow is added bliss.
Ta for sharing!

I used to enjoy seeing the fields change with the seasons during your time in France, but now we have that wonderful expanse of beach and sky. Dominos still prospers in Japan (where pineapple and sweet corn pizza is the height of sophistication), although since coming to France I've been reminded of other companies that failed, for no obvious reason - Carrefours and Galeries Lafayette both came and went rather quickly. Suzuki seems to be a raging success in France, although in Japan they are thought of only as a very low-end commercial vehicle. Angus's voice has actually been ringing in my ears these past few days as we've been shopping for a car - Volvo, definitely not, I remember well those service horror stories; Skoda, also no - too boring; Range Rover good, although too large for the roads around here; Peugeot - reminds me of the farmers in their white trucks. We ended up buying a Volkswagen, about which I can't remember anything.

Lisa in Tokyo - Great to hear you're settling in quickly and presumably surviving culture shock. Nothing like a French political crisis ( you soon get used to them ) as a moving in present. After fourteen years we recognized that the French are well educated, lucid and impassioned about the strangest things .Wise choice with the car. Bland has its advantages. Our VW dog car had electronics that seemed to always want to take us to a fast food restaurant outside the factory in Wolfsburg. It was charming in an ever so mildly irritating way. We haven't taken the Volvo in for servicing in Scotland and are assuming its got to be better than Volvo France.
