It's a long time, and not just in politics....

Monday, 8.30pm

Thought for the Day - BBC Radio Oxford traffic alerts only ever come on the radio when you are at least ten miles away from Oxford, and nowhere else

Pug Status - Guarding her dinner from a greedy puppy....

Has it really been a week since my last blog post? A busy weekend what with shopping, cleaning, hallow'eening ad trying to drag a reluctant Princess Pug out for a walk in the kind of weather that even Gene Kelly would balk at hoofing through with an outsized brolly....

We thought that Obi Pug Kenobi may have taken umbrage at our fancy dress garb for next door's Hallow'een party, what with the wife dressed up as the Wicked Witch of the West and me sporting a greasepaint 'tash as Super Mario but she never even bothered to offer up a slight wuff; possibly being hunkered down in the comfiest armchair snuggled up in a warm blanket may have had something to do with her 'can't be bothered' attitude....

She did, though, get worked up into a frenzy this evening. With the fridge. What happened was that her dinner bowl slowly moved nearer and nearer to it as she attacked her liver and special pug biscuits - as it came to rest against the fridge door some biccies fell out and under the naughty chiller, tantalisingly out of reach of her little snout.

Of course, when you first come into the kitchen to be confronted with a small dog barking at a fridge door, it's really difficult to find a rational explanation....
