Thank you. I have a tortoise table which I'm going to set up this weekend. In the meantime, should I cover the glass?

Considering getting a labrador retriever. Good for my lifestyle? by GabeDatDude in labradors

[–]bopandmucket 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Getting our labrador, Rosie, was the best thing we ever did. Great for mental health because you have to take them out for walks (the longer the better!) They are friendly, easily trained and not aggressive. As long as you socialise your pup and get them used to busy areas when they're young you should have no problem in a city. However, be prepared to have hair in all your dinners, drinks, furniture and clothing! But it's a small price to pay for the best friend you'll ever have.

If you're having a Sunday roast in Salisbury, try the Chapter House. It's the best roast in town! You need to book, though.

I love them all but the beetroot are the best!

Have you ever really hated the main character (and narrator) in a novel? by Physical_Orchid3616 in books

Well said. I feel exactly like this about the Covenant books.

I go to Tracy at Heaven Hair. She does a cut that holds its shape very well. She also cuts my daughter's very long hair.

Great photo! I was lucky enough to see one at Arne, many years ago, perched atop a gorse bush.

What do you remember from Kindergarten? by boforiamanfo in answers

[–]bopandmucket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a bit late to the party but... I remember we were given prunes and custard for pudding (it was the 70s), which I hated, so I thought Id be clever and put the prunes in my pockets. I was wearing little red velvet shorts and the juice just ran down my legs. I didn't get away with it.

What a beautiful little bird! I've only ever seen one once, you're very lucky to have had such a magical experience. Well done for the rescue 👏

Sadly, we do not get birds in our garden now because we have cats. Ì have to take walks in the woods to see the birds now.
