Cooling off

Off to Chiltern Open Air Museum at the weekend to see what

entertainment they had laid on for us.

We found Vikings and Anglo-Saxons slogging it out with each other

on the village green.

Angel was rather taken by the pink nightie ...

It was a hot sort of day, so we went home early to cool off in the garden with

a Kong filled with frozen yogurt. The Madwoman amazed us for once

with her forward planning.

If you stand up you can push your tongue right
down to the bottom.
Really.
Try it and you'll see.
But not with our Kongs.
Get your own!

Soaking it up

Hot again.

After a day of torrential rain, we're now having

a day of torrential sunshine.

 

Angel is making the most of it.

Wippitts are good at soaking up sunshine.

 

Angel is getting pretty good at soaking up Kongs

filled with frozen fruit and yogurt too.

Mouth freeze!

In the meantime Archie soaks up something smelly.

It's so important to smell interesting. 

Wippitts don't do BO - we are

much more selective.

  

 

Archie is nothing if not thorough ...

More chilling

Cool ideas for hot days: Number 2

Get the Madwoman to fill some Kongs with fruit and yogurt and freeze it.

Yummmmm ...

 

The 12 Days of Christmas - Day 3

On the 3rd Day of Christmas my true love gave to me ...

Three stuffed Kongs ...

Bean there, done that

Good ... but not as good as Kongs

Once again the Madwoman has been hogging the computer all week, so we have had no chance to post: the only reason we're on now is because she's otherwise distracted for a few minutes in the kitchen. Baking treats for us? No. Blanching beans or some such nonsense. Apparently the next glut of produce from the allotment is about to be damsons - equally useless as far as we're concerned. In between the jam-making, blanching, preserving and chutneying she's complaining about people who never return jars and as we said before, hogging the computer. But we don't care - we know how to entertain ourselves. We've just played tag round the dining room table and in a minute we're planning to stare at the Madwoman until, overcome with guilt, she gets out a stuffed Kong for us. We know there are a couple of frozen ones in the freezer, so we won't be fobbed off with anything less. Those blue pyramids which you have to bat around to get the treats out of them are alright, but a bit like hard work for what you get out of them. Kongs are much better.
