2016 DOGS XMAS PANTO




Sadly this years Xmas panto has been affected 
by industrial action.
That's the trouble with French dogs.
They have gone on strike over working conditions.
The panto will be played out by dog actors,
who are not members of the "WOOFS" Union.
(We're out on frigging strike)
I give you this years panto..
Woof Justice.



It had not been the best of years.
Xmas presents were hard to come by,
and the dogs were really disappointed.
Just look at the sparse gifts.
A manky old rawhide bone, a satsuma,
and one tiny chocolate.


"Stuff this" said Arthur
"The worst Xmas ever. I am off on the lash
to get totally wasted. 



Bella said "As Xmas is so crap, I'm off to 
play with my ball till I am so tired, I can't stand."



Shep the slightly violent one said,
"I want to go clubbing"


"Seal clubbing. Arf arf!"


"Good idea the others" agreed.
"I know a good place to pull birds" said Arthur
"Let's face it, we have had 4 sparrows, 2 blue tits,
and a blackbird off this table already this year" 


The WOOF Union had a meeting and all agreed that their
demands should be a good Xmas feast.
All the Xmas trimmings and festive cheer.
And also a 20 hour walking week.


And the owners gave in to their demands.
A festive fresh chicken with pigs in blankets,
and biscuits.
Hang on.....


"Solidarity Brothers and Sisters"
The strike is over.
Food is the most important thing for
mutts this Yuletide.
And any other day of the year to be honest!


"This is now the best Xmas ever" said Arthur.
Merry Christmas Chums.

CURRY NIGHT



Had 10 guests for a curry night at ours last night.
Chicken Dhansak, Beef Rendang, all the trimmings.
Chrissy and John have sold their house in the village,
so it was a farewell bash for them.

BAZZA's VISIT



My old HMS Invincible mate, Barry, came
over for his first visit last week of November.


A couple of days out around Matignon, and St Cast,
then an overnight in Dinan, where I got a couple
of photo tips from the maestro.


The port of Dinan out of season is  
tranquil, but fortunately most the bars are open.
