What’s Up?
I suck at Newsletters this weather! My hubris got the best of me, I got over-confident, and then I got totally frazzled and fell into the hole of procrastination.
My excuses, in no particular order:
It’s hot. Not as hot as some places, but hot for us.
Izzy is at that horrible but adorable gremlin stage
Turns out the deck in my back garden was a death trap, held together by inertia and rust. So I’m having to have that pulled out and redone, which is not easy with the aforesaid gremlin OR the angelic first born who wants nothing more than to tell the carpenter that he loves him.
UK Meet and GRL are NOT VERY FAR AWAY AT ALL and I am completely frazzled trying to get everything in order.
Anyhow, in the hopes of getting things back on track SOMEWHAT I am going to take the next few weeks wicked easy on the newsletter. Just some links, photos of my puppies at THEIR FINEST and all that. Plus any random tiktok I do :D
Pupdate of the Week
It’s warm for us! (This was at, like, seven in the morning).
I like Jack Monroe (for a parasocial level of like, I approve of their online persona and ideals). The fact that people hate them for…showing people how to make cheap but tasty food is bizarre to me (and NO, I don’t care if they have something nice or can afford to go places that they have budgeted for). So here’s one of their recipes that I will never get around to making, but maybe one of you lot will like it?!

Why do I want this SO VERY MUCH?
To add insult to injury, I need new glasses but I’ve left it so long there’s no way I’ll get them before the UK Meet. So look forward to seeing me in my puppy chewed versions folks!
One of my favorite gods.
