LILY & ROSE

Here are some photos of Lily & Rose. There are a few from the first time we saw them when they were just 4 weeks old. They would fit on your hand at this age and didn't look much like westies!

Cakes a go go!

STILL NO SPEX

Where are they? I'm getting a bit fed up now. I really want them by the weekend - so HURRY UP AND GET THEM HERE!
We've been out to do the food shop this morning and my observation about this is that there were more old people than you could shake a stick at in Morrisons this morning. Judging from their trolleys, they were all doing their Christmas store cupboard shopping (and looking at the crates of booze that were being stashed away, some of them must be anticipating doing some major drinking as well which would probably make them even more of a liability than they already are.)
Of course you wouldn't really shake a stick at the old folk because they would probably all fall over - especially if it was one of THEIR sticks.)
BUT - there were simply hundreds of them. I even peered out of the window to see if someone had organised a special coach party for them. The queues were about ten deep and, of course, there were still about eight tills that weren't actually in use. Why do Morrisons do that? If you've got two thirds of the over-eighties from Northumberland in your shop for God's sake put a few more people on the tills. It's no good having staff stacking the shelves when you've got the elderly and infirm swarming en masse (well probably not swarming, more like shuffling really) around your already overcrowded store - you're just creating even more trip hazards and major chaos when people are trying to navigate their wheelchairs around the special offer drinks stands. Get your shelves stocked during the night seeing as you can't be bothered to stay open 24 hours like other forward thinking stores do.
And you old people - surely you've done enough shopping now, but if you HAVE got some more to do - get someone to help you do it on-line, then you can shop from the comfort of your wheelchair at home in the warm.

  1. Why so down on the old folks? Is this a deep seated fear perhaps? Are you in that Egyptian river? Tell us about your fears....the sum of all your fears. What is really pn your mind when you berate the older generation. Those old folks, they ain't shuffling Sue. They is doin' the old folks boogie, cos boogie they will. My old man shops there aged 76, but he has two degrees in Bebop, a PhD in swing, he's a master of rhythm, Sue, he's a rock 'n' roll king. :o|
