me the idiot and Nin who wants his own way

The picture of the Coach house I put in because I thought it was really unusual and is a private house now ~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was looking out of the kitchen window and noticed it was raining and as Lyn had laundry on the line went to fetch it in ~ but noticed it was only raining in part of the garden ~ how odd I thought ~

the rain was really heavy ~ anyway I managed to get the laundry off the line and into a basket ~ getting pretty wet myself ~ It wasn't until later on in the evening I mention what had happened and Lyn burst out laughing ~ what had really happened was the hose pipe that was fitted to the back of the Garage had sprung a leak and was pouring water out and it looked just like rain ~ what a fool am I not to have noticed it ~ but it did give my darling daughter a good laugh ~

 

On another note Nin and Barney always have their meal in the kitchen ~ but Nin now won't eat it in there and only want's to dine in the little sitting room ~

don't ask how we figured this out ~ other than when we picked up his dish he trotted down the corridor to this room ~ kept turning round to make sure we were following him ~and happily ate his meal in there ~ Barney came to have a look after he had eaten and stood waiting in case Nin left anything ~ which he didn't but Barney always has to lick the dish just in case ~

I just wonder who has got who trained lol ~

I must admit to having a wee chuckle at this, Ally....only raining in part of the garden!!
I think we can safely say that Nin's the boss of your house....he likes his comforts!

Ally that is so funny about the leaky hosepipe! Lol! I knew you were going mad when you sent me that email last night. Lol! Nin seems to have learnt a trick or two off Katinka, she'll only eat in the lounge on the floor. Nina has hers on the sofa! I have almost got Nina to eat on the window ledge, that seems OK to her as she can watch the birds as she eats! I think we're both very well trained by our pets! Lol! Jeannette  xx

My Daughter had just rung as I was reading your entry,and she asked what the weather was like.I told her lovely, but raining in Norfolk.I was laughing my head off Ally.Then I told her why.What are you like????? almost as bad as me,but a lovely funny entry.Loved it.Take care.Hope you are well.

Oh, Ally, I thought only I would mistake a leaky hosepipe for a downpour.  At least the washing kept dry.  What a laugh!  Dogs - I think we know who's got who trained don't we?  Us 2-legged friends never stood a chance really! - love, Angie, xx

Oh lovely Nin !  I think I told you I am a sucker for JRs.  Thanks for your comment - Kit had a worm, rescued after the photo !  Bunny.

Shoot, rain hitting half a garden can
happen! How else would rainbows be
seen? Maybe I've been misinformed.
I Flunked Botany twice. Ally, I think of
you as being contemplative, a nature
lover, and kind even to ants, which you
would never step on. (Did the Pope
slam Islam? I MUST read Satanic Verses,
by the Englishman who had to go into
hidding when Ayatola Komenie put a
price on his head. 'The Empire Strikes
Back' they have said about that Pakistani
writer. Ha ha ha ha ha ha .......)

Oh LOL nin certainly does have you trained. That hose incident is funny...now down here I swear we can sit outside  and watch it rain right across the street 30 feet away, have it jump our house and move over one block....it's very weird sometimes.  Sandi http://journals.aol.com/sdoscher458/LifeIsFullOfSurprises

You have the cutest dogs! LOL at you and the rain. I mean leak. Sounds like something I would do. Paula

Anonymous said...

That was a story I believe will be told again about your saving the laundry and getting wet from the hosepipe,   lol  .     Nin is wanting his own 'atmosphere' while dining perhaps.    The red vine folage on the 'Old Coach House' is something I have not seen before.    I noticed the sky lights it has and it must be nice inside as the outside is restored beautifully.   mark

Hahahaha! Very funny rain incident and Nin training you. The coach house must an interesting place to live in. Here in the US, there is a fad going on about people buying barns and turning them into residences. Hugs.

That's too funny about the hose springing a leak.  Rain indeed! : )  Your pups are adorable!  Big hugs and GBU, Shelly

But, but, but...how can you refuse a cute little pup like that? I guess we're all "suckers" for somebody...

...and as far as the "leaking hose" situation, Ma'am, it sounds as though you and I have a lot more in common than we might know, lol.

Thats funny Ally! I would have loved to see your face looking round for the rest of the rain!!!!

That's so funny but it can really happen.

Our house is set on a slope and from the road to the bottom of the garden is 300 feet. I often find it can be raining out the front but not in the back, or vice versa.
