Windows full of cats and dogs!
It’s raining cats and dogs!
This window display in Middlesbrough completely stopped me in my tracks! Passers by wore puzzled frowns as I squinted and snapped, trying to get shots without too much reflection. Fairly difficult because the creatures were quite large. This is so appropriate for the wild, crazy weather we’ve been having! Don’t you just love the creativity?

Help! I’ve blown inside out.
Don’t move! I’ll save you!
There, there, dear! It’ll all be fine..
I don’t know what all the fuss is about
That’s all very well for you to say!
I’m holding on to my bone!
Mine’s gone! It just blew away…
Give us a bite!
Sigh! I wish you would be more careful, Penelope.
I’m not buying you another one!
You’ll have to have milk, like the rest of us.
Are you sure it hasn’t gone off, dear? That’d be the last straw.
Don’t you just love Saturday? Especially when you can start it with a smile!
I really have to link this to A Lingering look at Windows, too. I know that Dawn likes a smile.
But don’t forget to share your six words with Cate at Show My Face will you?

Yes, Jo, I did the Monument Avenue 10k yesterday, and ended up walking 8.2 miles. In the rain. It’s half raining/half snowing AGAIN today, so I’m staying in and keeping warm. 🙂

An organised walk for charity? Good for you, but that doesn’t sound much fun. I hardly went out at the weekend. Saturday aftie I was a saddo- Mick was at the match and I drank hot choc and listened to Norah Jones and Buble.
Grey and dampish again this morning but it’s walking day. Have a good week, Cathy. Will send you that email.

It’s certainly been a little unpredictable, Amy, and extremely wet for some people. This weekend we have thick, damp fog. Lovely! I have lots of photos to load for my walk tomorrow, though, so I’ll be busy. (and Rafa to watch in the tennis this evening 🙂 ) Enjoy your Sunday!

It was fun to do, Della Anna. I was home with a ‘frozen’ shoulder and miserable weather and it cheered me up. Glad you liked it 🙂

Sorry to hear about the frozen shoulder, hope it isn’t too serious. I had one for 18 months! had to buy an automatic car as I couldn’t use my manual without pain, and pay privately for an osteopath to sort it out (took a few months and it was painful, both physically and financially, but it worked whereas the NHS physio didn’t make any difference whatsoever). Let’s hope yours isn’t that bad!

This is the second time I’ve had it, Jude, but it’s much easier today. Scarves and hot water bottles at the ready. Not forgetting a drink, purely for medical purposes, of course 🙂 Thanks for your concern.
