Small is Good - by Midge 🐢

β€’26 Replies

This latest bug is worrying,

I'm not sure what to do.

Both Don and I could get it

I hear it's worse than flu

Self isolation is mentioned,

Does that mean live apart?

I don't think I could leave him,

I haven't got the heart

My short legs may save me

Perhaps I need not care

Cos I live right down here

And he lives right up there.

Good morning Mr.D and MidgeπŸ• !! Another good rhyme - oh if only I had a Β£1 for everytime you give us a splendid one, what a nice little nest egg I'd have by now. Where was this photo talen and I'm noticing the foldaway chair is tethered by a blue rope ..... is that for when Midge takes over the driving and you were having a nap outside in your foldaway chair. MidgeπŸ•, bless her, couldn't wake you so she simply drove whilst you were attached by an umbilical line πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚!πŸΏπŸ’•

Good morning SH. The photo was taken 24/9/2015 at 2.29pm. Both of us have deteriorated somewhat since then but still hope to revisit that site in North Wales before long. Midge is tethered with a blue lead if that is what you mean. I have to do that to stop her wandering about exploring everywhere we go and receiving treats. I do wish she would do her share of the driving, but she has a short leg problem.

Now dear Midge don’t worry

You will be ok

Don is in no hurry

To pop his clogs or go away,

Look after each other

Be as kind as you can be

Then you’ll have no bother

That’s a promise from your friend me!

Thanks again Don. Xxxx

Well once again Midge posts and our dear Sassy replies

Two of my favourite people,a feast before my eyes

But what of Don,where is he now,i bet he's still in bed

Or maybe he's just pottering in the garden shed

That squirrels is so clever spotting the tethered chair

And Midge just keeps on looking for the man that isn't there. :)

I keep looking for that tethered chair, do you think I've been dragging that chair behind me all these years? Great poem there Ski. 😁

It could account for the raised fuel consumption and difficulty steering around corners. :)

Good to hear from you Janet. Shame about the mobile hair saloon. Such a good idea, I've never heard of there being one over here. Ideal for rural areas I would have thought. You take care and stay safe. Don😘xx
