Last week - having yet another 'conversation' with the guy next door about his barking dog. It barks constantly when he's not there, but not at all when he is there. Therefore, guy next door doesn't believe me when I say the dog barks all day. Grrrrr.
Bonus Question:
Only two more days until the next F1 Grand Prix!

Last week when I told guy next door that my next stop is the Council Ranger re the barking dog.

Now I remember that! I was in 4H but had completely forgotten what the H's stood for.
Today's Question:

"I don't want to or won't be having this conversation again" ? About 2 seconds ago, and I'm sure we will have it again tomorrow (2 year olds need a lot of reminding )
Bonus Question:
Only 9 more days until one of my best friends comes to visit me. YAY!!
Extra Credit Question:
What was the last "tocsin" you gave or received ? Hit your brother and you will sit on the steps.
