BYC Café

Is there no coffee here for a tired old man ? :rant Fine, I'll brew my own. 4 days of this field trial stuff is more than enough for me and my dogs. We're staying home tomorrow. Up at 6 out of the house by 6:30 and arrived at the club at 7:20. Rabbit supply was barely adequate, but class was small so we got by. When it was over and done, Will got 2nd and War Cry got 3rd. It was a well judged field trial. Now I need a little recuperation time.
 
Had another scare today.
I knew I was going to be late getting home so I had UN get DH at 1:30 and bring him to my mom's.
I got a text from the neighbor at 3:12 asking if I knew why my front door was wide open.:eek:

I frantically called him and told him DH must have let UN in the front door and didn't lock it. I asked him to get the dogs back in. He said he didn't see them. That ramped up the panic alarm.

I called my mom and asked her to go up the hill and help find the dogs and Mogwai.
I called the neighbor back and he'd managed to find the dogs and coax them back into the house with PB. But said he couldn't find Mogwai. I told him a few of her hiding places and he found her behind the coffee maker on her stack of egg cartons. Phew!

Bella and her door opening was funny at first but it's a terrible combination with someone with AD. I'm going to tape the dead bolt thumb latch with a big X to try to remind DH to leave it alone. But UN will need to know to make sure all the doors with lever style handles that lead to the outside are locked so Bella can't open them when he leaves with DH in the future.

Once I knew everyone was safe, I had a melt down at work. Thank goodness for compassionate work friends with out of the way offices... And for hair color so I can dye all my new gray hairs.
How about an auto door closer?
I had one on my front door at my flat in Bristol UK. You can still open the door from both sides provided it isn't locked.

It's got to stay shut. I'm going to try taping the thumb latch in place. Hopefully that will be the end of it.
 
Good morning, Cafe. Thanks for the coffee! Will be refreshing the pot all day long...

🥶 Chickens aren't even out yet this morning. But it is pretty! Glad it's Saturday and I don't need to be anywhere :)
I don't know how you cope Meg. Snow in October!:eek:
 
Good evening Cafe.
Pot of Earl Grey tea brewing on the stove. Yup, I've lit the stove. It's chilly here at 4C.
It's been a lovely day here. Lots of blue sky and sunshine.
A couple of pictures taken while on the track going North up the mountain today.

Is the second picture of an old olive tree perchance?
