Ian Abel Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 On to the Mondane (get it, huh, huh...), starting the week at 14 and rain here, overcast and light rain all day is the prediction - the weathermen crystal ball working overtime. On the "vet" front, Bob has his annual rabies shot and physical at noon o'thirty, so he'll not be a happy camper, and the vet will likley be unimpressed either Bob only likes one thing less than vets and that's vets prodding him Nowt else to report, so I'll get back to work - enjoy your Monday everyone. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted June 9, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 9, 2014 I've just listened to Matthew having a rant over the phone (Mummy wasn't available!) about grammar teaching in schools! Only 21 and already a grumpy old man! This came about as he is teaching himself Spanish to avoid boredom waiting for exam results. It must be vet day for pets. Robbie will be having his kennel cough treatment at 4pm. I think he may be suspicious already as he has been really tidied up. He likes the vets and doesn't fuss unless it is kennel cough (nostril application) or having his temperature taken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debs. Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) He likes the vets and doesn't fuss unless it is kennel cough (nostril application) or having his temperature taken. It`s the vet`s 'innuendo' he doesn`t like, then? Edited June 9, 2014 by Debs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted June 9, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 9, 2014 Robbie is so funny after anything he considers undignified at the vets, he ignores the vet and me and rushes over for a hug from the nurse! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Jeez, I go out for the day and the world according to ER's has changed again. Best wishes to you both!.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted June 9, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 9, 2014 Robbie and I have returned from the vets. I ended up as an entry in the accident and injury book! Everything went well until the syringe (no needle) approached Robbie's nose. The vet hadn't wanted to muzzle Robbie in case he got stressed and he managed to nip my finger. Now thanks to various medication I bleed rather spectacularly even from a wound that didn't even hurt. Anyway after the finger was smothered in cotton wool and alcohol, Robbie was muzzled and the treatment squirted up his nose. He was really good then. Before the incident the vet had commented on what nice teeth Robbie had! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon G Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Very late on ERs today due to lots of work after holiday. I must add my congratulations to Ian & Sherry - I hope that life together brings everything you want. Last week I mentioned 30 Ferraris parked at the hotel near where we were staying at Loch Lomond. Pictures now downloaded from camera and two uploaded - spot the odd one out! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted June 9, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 9, 2014 Congrats to Ian And Sherry, I hadn't quite expected that. Don Thanks, Don. As I indicated earlier, neither had we, at least in the public domain! That chap Murphy - you know, the one with the law - knew a thing or two. So today my celebration is somewhat compromised by going down with some sort of dreaded lurgi! I am knocking back Lemsip, drinking lots of water, and of course survival is likely. Meanwhile yet another thunderstorm is rolling around outside. Flaming June? Yeah, right! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted June 9, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 9, 2014 Evening all. Searingly hot in Leipzig and tomorrow won't be any different, according to the forecast... Ian - that sure was surprising news! But, I'm tremendously happy for you both and wish you the very best for the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon G Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Off out for dinner tonight, with my boss and my (hopefully) replacement at work. If this goes to plan, he will be recruited, we will have a good handover period, and I will then retire happily. This will allow me to spend more time on really useful things like building my own layout, doing some real modelling, and possibly even some volunteering on the 'Ratty'! Planned retirement is about February with luck. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coombe Barton Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 So the home laptop has decided that it wants to navel gaze and do a full filescan. It's been going for more than an hour and is only 17% complete. Praise be for the iPad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iL Dottore Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Evening All, Mrs iD is back from the holiday hovel, where she and Schotty enjoyed cool temperatures and glorious sunshine. She brought some pictures to share The Holiday HovelTM is down there in the valley The HH is convenient to the local station Oberwald (a 5 minute walk away) and is on the Furka Oberalp Bahn and the station is, literally, just before the Furka Base Tunnel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furka_Base_Tunnel), One of the local trains... Finally, for the dog lovers amongst us, some Schotty snaps, including one of him at a much loved activity - rolling around in the snow (there is still a little snow around at higher altitudes) The "deag dog" pose was - Mrs iD assures me - taken upon return from a 5 hour mountain pass hike! Have a great week iD 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Abel Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) I've just received a scamspam headed: "Your Ammazon Order No: 1P5629" Or Ammazone?? Is that the new Amazon/Modelzone affiliate? I'll see your Ammazon and raise you 2 x "ATTTENTION!! NOTIFICATION MILLION OF PAYMENT VIA ATM CARD!!" and a "Hello Dear Your Message" The last one really was amazing, I've never seen such a jumbled collection of English words "in no particular or decipherable order" in my life!! Returning to veterinary reports, we're back from ours, and Bob received his new Rabies certificate, BUT, attempted to provide a death certificate for the tech. assistant in the process <sigh> In fairness, he did hiss and growl (he's a CAT remember) several times before launching himself at the assistant - both are unscathed, but the tech. assistant may need a change of underwear! Bob was declared in excellent health - for a fully grown panther, after that. Edited June 9, 2014 by Ian Abel 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
