Don't forget to order a bulk supply of small plastic bags (or in the case of St. Bernards and Newfoundlands, big plastic bags)<br /><br />The foam sounds neat. I'm surprised that Sonshine wasn't making foam-men with it, or rolling about in it.<br /><br />The ashes are sad. Just be glad they don't have customs going into Douglas.

I do feel for you in advance of the dog show as if everything goes well it shall be death by spreadsheet (I once foolishly volunteered to organise a veteran's half marathon and am forever changed by this experience). I wonder whether you might rethink having word to Sonshine - I can imagine him fossicking in the trunk and bits of Jim going everywhere. I hope the rest of the week is uneventful for you, restful even.

Needless to say, my son phoned demanding another pair of trousers.

Dog show sounds great fun but foaming garden not so much. Is there a bleachy smell or just foam? A friend of mine uses it on her "patio" to get rid of weeds/lichen - smells ghastly and she'll prob. be flayed alive by skinless frogs in the next world. Finally The Ashes - well, you're a very nice lady.
