Logic if you can find it.








The workmen arrived at seven. Wilf just had time to bark at them in a suitably proprietorial manner before being loaded into the back of the car and driven into town. With the Easter vacationers gone the cheerful beer and absinthe crowd were back at their tables under the arches . A chorus of ' Bonjour Wilfees ' from them and the usual polite refusal of pre-breakfast beer offers by me. While Wilf nestled under the table with a bowl of water, yours truly went a bought strawberries and bread from the stalls in the marketplace. Off then to the vets to pick up another box of syringes for the old fellows insulin injections. A wonderful dog, half Alsatian, half Briard in the waiting room. The hastily snatched photo doesn't do justice to the beauty and happiness of her face. Back home to find Madame Bay leaving. " Far too dirty for me to clean. I'll come back when they've gone " snapped our saintly cleaning lady from under a layer of lime green chiffon. There must be some logic in that statement somewhere.

  2. The Madame Bay story reminds me of teenaged me, objecting on grounds of logic to my mother's orders to tidy my bedroom because the cleaning lady was due...
    Cheers! Gail.

    The "fraises" seem gorgeous, but a little bit expensive no ?

  7. Maybe Madame Bay thinks when the workman leave they take the dust with them...

    I hope your day is an enjoyable one!

  8. Most every woman knows that you must clean up before inviting a cleaning lady into your home to clean it. Just one of those seemingly illogical logics!

    Enjoy the fraises!

    Woofs to Wilf from my Boyz!

  10. I love the beautiful dog in the vet's waiting room.

    Ah, Madame Bay, a never ending source of smiles here. I do understand her sentiment, however crazy it might seem :)

  11. That dog is beautiful!

    Well, perhaps Madame Bay is better off not being in close contact with the workmen...

  12. I once told Mr. Wild Dingo that between the two colors white and black, for the pair of socks that said "girls love dirt" on them, I wanted black, so they wouldn't show dirt.

    don't ever underestimate the logic of the female mind. it's truly beyond you. i'm sorry. :)

  13. Gave us a scare, there! Lovely berries and then the vets office. Wilf is ill! We thought it was a "break it to us gently" moment.
    No one can match our Wilf when it comes to beauty and happiness. You must remember, we've never had the priviledge of meeting Wilf. But his joy of life, his magic, radiates across the web. Powerful! Wonderful!

  14. Everyone tells us that Apple must have some Briard in there somewhere. She looks have quite a few similar characteristics.

    Logic? What's that?

  15. My late grandmother would say if one has not started cleaning by 10 am it is too late! I use that excuse myself many times.

    Angus you surprise me! You are a stealth photographer???? What a wonderful looking dog!!!

  16. Love it! Mme Bay's comment reminds me of the logic of "jumbo shrimp." Although my own dear Mom would always clean the day before the housekeeper was due to arrive!

  17. a friend of mines mother always claimed she had very rare spiders in her house so she couldn't possibly clear the cobwebs away.....a pre-breakfast gin wouldn't have gone amiss here this morning i can tell you!!...xxxx to wilfee..

  18. Now there is logic!! I wonder if I can use that on my family when its time to clean house? Wilf is handsome as always....keep going darling Wilf! Enjoy your day....

    With love your Canadian pals,
    Dianna along with Tor, Willow and Tucker
