Day 35 (featuring the Monday Mugshot)


More cancer news today, his time from the Beeb:


Actually, this is not news. Our non-resident (well, admittedly he doesn’t see it that way) Norfolk Terrier (Tommy the ‘technology’ terrier) clocked me as having cancer last November. How? Well, Tommy turns up when he feels like it to chew the fat with the Dachshunds. Tommy is well informed, embracing new technology (iPads, iPhones and laptops) - which usually manifests itself as an uncontrolled lunge towards anything with an LCD screen (so I guess he’s already up to speed on the Beeb’s article).


Having previously shown absolutely no interest in ‘licking’, Tommy suddenly developed an obsession with licking my hands and feet. I guess he could detect something different. This is not surprising, as a dog’s sense of smell is 60 times that of a person, and gets my vote as an accurate and low-cost mass screening method anytime.

In other news, Liv and Ed have been putting Brian through his paces, in preparation for provisional licence arrival next month.


Recycling bins make excellent (and safe) dummy cars for parking practice. Liv’s currently heading the leaderboard, but as men are better drivers than women*, it won’t be long before he gets the hang of it…….

With all this controversial excitement, nearly forgot the Monday Mugshot:


*Memo to Tor: Oh yes they are! – who had to reverse out of Broughtons’ car park last Thursday?
