But today I received a book by Linda Lewis, The Writer's Treasury of Ideas as I have been shortlisted for a 250 word comp I entered in August. Never give up they say.

Indie is lovely (he and Bonnie share the same silky ears). I would like to say that Bonnie would like her but, as you know, she probably wouldn't! <br /><br />I laughed about him not liking baths. When the grandchildren were staying this weekend and I called out 'bath's ready' to the four year old, Bonnie ran upstairs and into the bathroom instead (even though she's not allowed up there) - she loves water!Wendy's Writinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960941625432714363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7328996877751363067.post-56727293363650220712012-11-06T14:45:10.595+00:002012-11-06T14:45:10.595+00:00Going out for tea and cake sounds good, Maria - I ...Going out for tea and cake sounds good, Maria - I think I shall try it, particularly the cake :-)<br /><br />I don't know why he dislikes baths and brushes so much. He doesn't put up a fight, but he always looks so miserable as if he's being tortured - yet he gets all excited when it's time for his injection - daft dog (don't tell him I said that!)<br /><br />And you've reminded me, my hairdresser is getting a puppy and she may well have it next time I go - something to look forward to :-) xTeresa Ashbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350697922935549188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7328996877751363067.post-63999969404492172812012-11-06T14:39:48.581+00:002012-11-06T14:39:48.581+00:00Yes I definitely miss the sun, Frances - what litt...Yes I definitely miss the sun, Frances - what little we saw of it. I have a problem with November. It was the month my dad died and also this time last year we were going through all that with Tilly and I can't seem to stop thinking about her, especially with all the trips we've had to the vet lately - just feeling sorry for myself I suppose.

Perhaps we need a rest from all the things life throw at us every day? <br /><br />A good cure that works for me is going out for tea and cake! I can highly recommend it...<br /><br />I sympathise with Indy, and number 3, I've got a fair few lumps and bumps that have just appeared over the last five years. However, I totally disagree with number 6, I love baths, and brushes and scissors means a trip to the hairdressers, and that always picks me up!<br /><br />Now there's an idea.
