I should know better

Woke this morning to really heavy snow and gazed miserably across the white valley. Felt that the house (still not springcleaned) really needed cheering up, so trekked up the lane to the next orchard cottage, now derelict (burned out by the owner, the Neighbour From Hell, to facilitate his planning application, said plan well quashed by me), and collected all the daffodils, freezing my arse oiff in the process. House now very yellow indeed.

In a panic over having to judge hounds on Saturday. Definitely not my group, and not even sure how to go over large dogs.........how do you get down to bassets, for instance? Bend right over and show a lot of broad rear? Am clearly going to make a fool of myself in front of S, a respected hound judge, who is taking me to the venue and can be assured of a day`s entertainment.

Well, I`ve done what I can in preparation - I brushed my judging jacket and painted my nails Maniac Mauve. What else is there.......?
