Just found out someone I work with who's last name is Atkinson is the neice of Rowan Atikinson (Mr. Bean).  Oh, and she's stunningly beautiful in case you are wondering.

This is also making ME happy! Can we all meet Rowan Atkinson?! lol

They've just added Mr Bean to Netflix and I'm thoroughly enjoying rewatching him and Teddy...
My, how time flies....

My dog, Baby, was rehomed when I moved to Scotland. My oldest daughter just got to visit him. He's a good old farm dog now living life in Ohio.

My heart is happy! Look at his sweet face!

Oh my, adorable!  I'm sorry he couldn't move to Scotland with you!  He's amazing!

Got my hair cut today spur of the moment (as did husband) for the first time in months, and I'm feeling good! Ventured down to the local butchers while I was on the high street and it's lovely! I can't believe I've not been in there before! Pricing wasn't that outrageous and the pre-marinated meat and skewers look HEAVENLY. Bought a few things but got an order form and they do meat bundles at such a good price! Think we're going to have to start getting our meat from the local butchers :D

I really love how punny the English can be. I fail at them, but love reading them.

A music festival that was clearly too good to be true from the get go originally was scheduled for this weekend, and friends were booked to play and cancelled their appearances after not getting deposits/contracts after weeks of trying. Today it got even better as the promoter officially cancelled the event because "sheep have been grazing in the fields where the stages and camping should be set up". The puns are incredible.

I hope everyone who bought tickets get refunds, but I appreciated 24 hrs of humor as it all went wooly.

Happy anniversary!  Do you exchange gifts?  If so, what did you get him?

My husband got me a pen for our 5th....   ::)

We don't typically do much, we just have a nice meal, but this year it just snuck up on us so fast and we have Japan to pay for that we just said "no gifts at all" but we're going for a meal in Windsor (which I didn't think he'd want to do as Windsor is just far enough that it doesn't seem like what you'll want to do on a weeknight after work so that is treat enough :) )
