Yes we do have a name for puppy, all will be revealed on Friday 😀
Bakers2 you might change your mind about your puppies name once you meet her. We chose a name for our youngest son and as soon as he was born we both said 'oh that doesn't suit him at all' and changed it.

Posted on 21/05/2020 12:02 by WherenextI was called Michael until the moment of baptism at the font when my mother suddenly, and without informing my father, opted for a completely different one! Good job my father was happy with it.

I remember, as a youngster, trekking to the shops to assist my mother with carrying the shopping. A shopping bag ( remember those?) in each hand. Felt pretty heavy by the time we'd walked home.

I didn't realise that Oneputt was that old We shouldn't forget that in days gone by many people didn't have a fridge so that would have made the storage of perishables difficult. Likewise many didn't have a car so they could only shop for what they could carry. It is true that in recent years there was a return to the shop little and often way of doing things but all that changed with COVID 19. Now we make sure our cupboards are full and probably need a small Transit to go shopping with!!!

Will be looking forward to the revelation!
We've never been in the position of choosing a name, Harry was youngest at 6 months when he came to us. Ralph, apparently, was called Sebastian by his first owner (only for a couple of months) - certainly don't fancy calling out that when I'm trying to recall him!

The day started grey and wet, not rain as such just that fine mizzle.
Went out and did the shopping for our neighbour and some bitsand pieces for my sister and us.
Had a lazy couple of hours on return but the sun is now out so I'll have to give myself a shake and get on with something.
OH has been asked to make more face shields, he can only do about 6 as we are just about out of foam. He has a sore hip at the moment, don't know what he's done but it hurts when standing or walking. No pain on riding his bike or sitting though.
