Sair heids, sleekit steens and happy snappers

Housebound day with Tess, who is dealing with full blown sinusitis, even a wee head movement was agony and you know she's not great when she refuses X factor to be carried off to sleep.

Dave's day was much better, it's been the best Meldrum Makers At NEOS ever for him this year. He's sold a lot of photographs, some really big framed prints, some canvasses and the infamous Loch Morlich in a curved whisky barrel frame...quite apt for a showcase in a distillery. Except my walls look very bare. But I'm sure he'll have made enough profit to get his wife a packet of chocolate buttons. I said I hope he's made enough profit to get his WIfE A pACkET Of ChOCoLATe BUTtONS! Dave? Dave??

Max Nibbler, private detective oops I mean pooch update: managed a wee ten minute drive and carry round the co-op (rock n roll) as part of this socialise your puppy malarkey. My favourite bit was when he flirted his tail off with the older ladies in the post office queue. He also got a letter from the vets...an invite to a puppy party....a puppy party???? Part awwwww, part argggghhhhhhh.

Thanks for the stones Lindsay, I had forgotten all about them, so great surprise, they are smashin'!!! Like holding a mirror up to Dave and I really.
