To save any hassles you can change my URL in your RSS Reader/Blogroll/etc to http://ynot60.comThis Post at the “Poodle (& Dog) Blog” reminded me of a post I did long ago on a previously deleted blog when we still had Dixie’s much loved & missed predecessor Misty (Missy Moo).
I had been reading an article about the gruelling Iditarod sled dog race which had a Standard Poodle sled dog team entered.
I decided that Missy Moo probably had what it takes to represent Tasmania. Here is a photo of her in training.
I wonder if Dixie is feeling energetic this winter???
I have just finished a new page of links for all my favourite blogs & regular blog visitors. See page link in top right corner below my header.
I hope I haven’t missed anyone. I am only aware of visitors who actually leave comments as I have no other way of knowing who else drops in for a visit.
If I have missed you out, or if you are not a regular commenter & would like your Blog added the list please leave a comment to let me know.
Here in Tasmania it’s (supposed to be) Autumn (but we’re still getting temperatures up around 26 – 30 C. What gives???) so I spent the last couple of days doing some pre-Winter jobs.
Firstly I got my ladder & really long flue brush from hibernation in the shed, chucked it up on the roof & cleaned the chimney.
I had also noticed with some heavy rain recently that most of our guttering was overflowing. We’ve been in this house 4 years & I’ve never done them before. By the amount of what was mostly a build up of dirt I’d say the previous 20 tenants have never done it either. They were all well & truly blocked up. All up I had 6 large bucketfuls of stuff just from the guttering.
OK Mister Winter, I am ready to go. Bring it on!!!
I was dragged willingly went on the rounds of the 2nd hand/op/thrift shops with my wife & our Scottish friend Pat yesterday.
Pat who has been a close friend of ours for many years is my adopted Mum, my real Mum is still alive, but Mummy Pat thinks I’m awesome. What I expected to be a day of drudgery fun really turned up a couple of great photo opportunities.
First I found an ultra incredible Teddy Hat/Beanie.
Michelle being a party pooper won’t cooperate in humouring me in embarrassing photo shoots. I didn’t even bother asking as we’ve been through it all before without success. However, Pat was only too willing to help out as my photographic assistant.
Doh!!! I forgot that I still had my sunglasses on & Pat didn’t tell me that I didn’t have Teddy’s face sitting up straight…
Next, I saw this item of amazingness in the kiddies stuffed toys bin.
Yes, it was none other than Captain Underpants. I was so excited I could hardly talk!!! I will never think of Op Shopping as a burdensome pointless exercise ever again.
My wife Michelle has a variety of special women’s shampoos that benefit women’s hair in ways that only women know about. Therefore, Michelle buys me my own shampoo so I don’t use up her special woman’s stuff.
I have a bottle of ‘Pantene’ brand shampoo that I’ve been using for a couple of months now.
The other night I noticed that it said on the bottle that it contained special stuff (Amino Pro+ Complex) to improve hair Volume & Fullness as you can see on the bottle for yourself…
Now I ask you, does it really look like it works?????

My wife Michelle bought me this T-Shirt ages ago. She reckons it suits me & reflects my true age. .
Introducing Flat Jonno, who is visiting me here in Tasmania all the way from Florida.
His 3D counterpart, Jon without an H, is a young bloke who is a friend of mine that I got to know through Facebook. He liked Flat Tony so much that he wanted to do a Flat Jon so I obliged him. Here are some photos of him at our place.
Dixie, who is always hard to keep still for a photo, posed so beautifully for this one.
He ate our strawberries.
What is it with cardboard people that makes them think they’re invincible???
(If you have a real keen eye for detail you will notice the difference in the type of grass thus being aware of my deception. The cup photos were taken on the front lawn beside the road)
