Commencal24 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Finally after what seems like an age my C4 had been sold, it's been sat on the drive for most of the year.

GMX Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I do like accompanying Pipper for an extended stroll along the river Stour.聽 Pipper wanted to go in the river at Cowgrove, where it's quite shallow, and several other dogs (3 labs, a collie and a Cairn terrier) were already playing and splashing about there. However, I'd only applied her Advocate this morning and it expressly says "keep your dog dry for 24 hours after application" : Pipper had to contend herself with being a spectator this time. After spending Friday afternoon howling like a wolf, she stopped as quickly as she started. One howl yesterday morning and that was it. If it was a side effect of her Galastop: it must have been just an initial "new medication my system" howl and now she's had a couple of doses, the need to howl has gone.聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMX Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I do like having thought about it for while, finally applied to become a volunteer for the animal rescue that Pipper came from.聽 Who quite co-incidently are having novelty dog show and a fayre tomorrow, in which I (albeit fronted by Pipper, as I like to remain anonymous in these sort of matters) am sponsoring some of the dog show classes. https://www.margaretgreenanimalrescue.org.uk/GroundDog_Day_Dorset 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantt Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 聽just refueled and think my miles to empty is a bit optermistic even for a 1.0 ecoboost focus!! and real is mpg is only 62mpg , not 65mpg. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMX Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I do like that Pipper has decided pigs ears are as acceptable as stinky sticks for her bedtime snack last night. I've mislaid the other bags of stinky sticks somewhere in the office.聽 Whereas, every room seems to have a couple of bags of ears in it.聽 She is yet to change her position on dried sprats (8 bags in hand) and fish in general though, unlike Brandy: Pipper seems to loathe fish. Having just spoken to them, the novelty dog show that I (fronted by Pipper) sponsored some of the classes (along with others ) raised more in sponsorship, than the rescue has ever had for an event, or indeed expected聽 I, or rather Pipper, will be doing it again at their annual show in August Although still in the early planning stages, next year Pipper and I, possibly with others, will be repeating a sponsored walk that was undertaken by 4 of the MAGR staff members, in 2011 from the Devon centre to the Church Knowle HQ, as part of a much longer walk.聽 Where we will walk between all the centres that they have; and may also include their retail charity shops, starting and finishing, at the Winterbourne Kingston site Pipper came from. It will be a multi-day walk, aiming to walk around 25-30 miles each day.聽 Google maps (which isn't too good when looking at footpaths and bridleways) estimate the distance between centres and back, to be around 230 miles 聽 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzman600 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 60mpg out of a 1.0 ecoboost? Blimey. You related to Reginald Molehusband? That's unbelievable and staggering.

tazzman600 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Ha ha iant and your photo. I can photo my 2.0 ecoboost after 1 mile averaging 99.9mpg. Jeez I fell for that lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMX Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I do like that Molly has finally come down from next door's roof and is tucking into a bowl Tesco beef chunks in jelly聽 I'm not entirely sure how she got up there聽 There's no nearby fence, building or hedge to leap from. 46 minutes ago, tazzman600 said: Never got close in any of my ford diesels.

GMX Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I do like taking Pipper for a 33 mile walk, in and around the New Forest, having deviated off the Avon Valley path in an easterly direction, at Sopley.聽 We were only rained twice, contrary to forecast "heavy rain from midday onwards"; once heavily and then about 20 minutes later a further light shower.聽 We returned in bright sunshine. I also like having dismantled my oven, and tested everything: it's not the oven at fault.聽 Plugged into an extension on both a kitchen socket and then retested in the hall, it works perfectly It's either the wall socket, which is located in a spectacularly awkward place to get to (behind the built in fridge! What was the electrician thinking when he put it there?), the cabling to it or the MCB (if it indeed has it's own)聽 My consumer unit labelling bears no resemblance to the actual circuits wired to the MCBs - as I discovered previously when a halogen downlighter developed a fault and tripped the upstairs circuit MCB (which had been labelled "Kitchen")聽 "Upstairs Lighting" turned out to be the power shower in master bedroom en suite!! It looks like whoever labelled it was not the person who actually wired it up, and just had some random guesses.聽 "Downstairs Mains" is the only one that is correct聽 聽 聽 聽 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
