Happily busy with work, gardening, dogs. Especially dogs. Post mostly about The Archers. Or dogs. Or complete nonsense. Repost implies nowt.

I’ve often wondered about trying Maisie with it, but she would be rubbish unless it was 1-2-1.

I’ve just downloaded a free pattern to try just that!

Impressive! This looks like a lovely setup. I think part of the problem we had with Tillie was that it was held at a riding school and T spent most of the time preferring to snuffle through the soft flooring. We may try again but it would need to be a different class now we have moved.

I wonder whether the desire to see #TheArchers characters do well is due to our close emotional connection to them (given the long run). I’m far happier to read about all sorts of nasty in the crime novels I read! Mind you, that doesn’t explain those listeners who love the villains (or does it 🤔…)

She spent five weeks behaving like a sulky teen, doing the equipment at her pace, reluctantly, with no obvious enjoyment. The final session was a ‘real’ competition-style course, timed, and she absolutely blitzed it, beating the competition by 30s! I’m not sure she’d be allowed back… 🥴

Have I ever told you what Tillie did at agility?

I’m sure we could have coped with both 😉 #TheArchers

Good morning all! Not much planned today, so doing some patch repairs on our terrible lawn. Not going too hard on it as we are hopefully having a patio laid at some point but I can’t leave it like it is. Cricket today and Strictly later, though it’s a theme week, which I usually find meh.

Indeed! The reality of life is that people are multifaceted and have periods/relationships where their behaviour and approach differs. I think George can put this behind him, but it is highly dependent on other things. It’s a fascinating SL #TheArchers

That is a *huge* difference. The 24/7 of it today is horrific.

Morning, Pat. The sleep will have done you good!

I would have liked this approach as a reminder of those affected. Joy checking in on Alice could have been an interesting dialogue, eg. But, given what it was, I thought it was well written and conveyed the mixed emotions well. George is, I think, going to struggle to adapt. #TheArchers

Why, thank you, kind Jean! I always try to be nice. Not sure about the intelligent bit 😆 #TheArchers

I’m not anti-drama or pro-dull. A narrative arc around redemption and restoration is just as entertaining and far more realistic and still leaves room for people to fail / new baddies. #TheArchers

Eek - rest if you can, while you can. Good to be free of some stress, though.

I agree - it seems a bit off! #TheArchers

I’m sure this will give her a huge boost. My very best wishes to her.

Time for several coffees then. And maybe a bimble.
