What have you been doing today?

[Highway Man]

I’ve just set myself off crying again!

Glad you said that.. I am no softee but both me and Lena keep crying. I am struggling with losing my dogs and when sat in the house on my own I keep crying, I just can't help it. Lena started crying last night and I saw why, she was looking at the photos on her phone of our dogs. Lost both of them within 8 months of each other. I feel it is disrespectful looking at other dogs at the moment but I can't help it, we both need another as we love our dogs like children.

Our 5.5 year old Labrador was a bit off on Monday evening, Tuesday morning she has pink sick, then looked like she was going to have a stroke, darted outside and had bright red diarrhoea. I rang the vets and long story short we got her in 70 mins later.

Straight on a drip and kept her over night. She’s came home and was really not herself. She picked up slowly and is back to normal and in fact sniffing because a chicken is almost done.

I thought she was gone when I saw the bright diarrhoea. Apparently it’s not that uncommon and locally there’s been a few cases

God help when it’s her time. I fell you pain chaps. I know I don’t know what it’s really like yet, but that was a horrible preview.

It's horrible losing them mate, this isn't our first rodeo losing other dogs but this has been the most painful. They were our lives. Glad yours is recovering.

Fitting a new one of these to one of my BTLs:

Exitex Mill MWK 20 Weather Bar 914mm

Exitex MWK20 Mobility Weather Bar Door Threshold Kit Silver - 914mm - 36" InchesThe 914mm Exitex mobility weather bar kit draft excluder is a efficient way of trapping heat inside a your home and stopping the draft and weather.This threshold draft excluder will suit inwards opening door, ideal...

I should have gone with something else but this make/model was on previously so replaced like for like. It's not the easiest type of threshold to fit due to the relatively exacting spacing you need to achieve to ensure a good seal. The previous one (fitted when door was replaced) wasn't fitted correctly and was leaking.

Job not helped by gap under door not being consistent.

Printing out and laminating restaurant cards in various languages in preparation for our trip to Porto on Friday.

Found out something new about the car we bought last September. I know it automatically goes into recirculating air mode when using the windscreen washers (to stop smells entering the cabin) and when entering a tunnel, but coming home from from our daughters house today, we were on the M25 and we have to go through 2 tunnels. I had the windows down but just before we entered the tunnel, they closed on their own and when we came out, they opened automatically. I was over the moon with this and commented to Mrs Mottie but she showed no interest whatsoever and muttered something about me being a brick or something…..

Thing is, I feel that the more gadgets etc you have in a car the more that things can go wrong. Then again, I wouldn't mind having a car with all the mod cons. Never have had such a car. I usually keep my car (Corgi) for several years..

That’s why I bought one with a 5 year guarantee. If they go wrong, not my problem.

Sort of. Not fully elec, not plug in hybrid, just a good old self charging hybrid.
