28th December 2025
It rained most of the morning, not the most pleasant weather to take a puppy outside, and she know it. She had learned the layout of the garden and now she has to explore all of it.
All we want is for her to do her wees and poos so we can get out of the rain.
Now in the evening it’s our chill out time, we watch a bit of tv and hope that our animals do the same.
Nope! Winnie moves into hyper mode, toys everywhere, she tries to get Phoebe to play but that doesn’t happen.
I feel our routine has to change to suit the puppy and not the other way round, which is frustrating.
The only saving grace is the number of times she stops, lays on her bed and goes to sleep.
To us, we finally can relax, but it doesn’t last very long.
The furniture business has taken a bit of a hit, but we finally got the matching pair finished and posted.

Later in the evening they were sold, that was quick work. As far as finding product to work on things have been very lean, we have another long and heavy dresser to work on next.
I finally cut up the to bottom bed ends that have been getting in the way. It was a shame, but no one wants a bottom end. It is the same with mirrors, we have several in the storage room. These would have come with some dressers that be acquired in the past, it seems that our buyers don’t want to see themselves in the morning, actually, I can vouch for that.
Another thing that I have noticed to light quality. There are many “ green” light bulbs that have been pushed over the years, and basically they are crap. Some give a harsh light that is totally unflattering.
For example at the Curragh pup, the light in the gents is really bad, I look a hundred years old, I rush out of there as quickly as I can. The lighting we have is softer, making look like a normal human being. Now what do I really look like? I’ll go for the normal one please.
