This is different

I haven't published for a month or so, so thought I should let the world know what has been happening around here. I find that my blog has changed, or at least the way I get into it!
Hopefully there will not be any changes from a view point of view as this new set up has confused me no end!!
Still, life appears to be full of change nowadays. So what is another eh?
At home things are going along. Disney has been scratching and has taken his fur off in two places around his bum/tail area. One of my fellow dog walkers recommended NatPet, so we bought a bottle.
It appears to have worked. The loss of fur wasn't too bad but this stuff has stopped him scratching and biting in that area. He is also sleeping better at night!
It's like having kids at home again!!
We checked him out for fleas and gave him his monthly dose on the neck, I reckon he is bothered by pollen or something akin. Google doesn't appear to be suffering, although he does have a good sneeze when in the woods!!
Alice has now reached the age of 14. Amazingly she is a genius as she appears to know everything about everything! I can't remember being like that at her age - well, actually I can't remember anything at all nowadays!! Get to the top of the stairs and wonder why I set off in the first place!
Ches has had a good go at her flat. She has painted and papered her bedroom and painted the hall. I helped her with the garden, the whole place looks a lot better now. Not that it looked bad in the first place.
I am out to Ches and Al's place tomorrow to try and sort the Virgin Hub. First one kept cutting off from the Internet every so often. Virgin have sent another which I will try and connect tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
Al went out to Plympton fair yesterday and some kind soul pinched her mobile. Annoying as she saved for a while and did extra chores to get money to buy her prized Blackberry. It was second hand when she bought it, but still pricey. Some Bastards around aren't there. Unfortunately she didn't know the IMEI code so we could only stop the charges on my account rather than freezing the phone.
Ches has been working all the hours sent again. Her line manager is poorly and Ches has been covering her shifts.
The DWP are playing silly buggers with her Bereavement Benefit claim. Don't understand the problem myself. When Mark sadly passed on they were married, they were separated but he still had a financial and moral obligation to Alice. The fact that he turned avoiding those responsibilities into an art form is, to my mind, immaterial.
I am getting along well with my Micro machine collection. Have set up a blog in which I intend to show pieces individually. One of the problems I have found since collecting is identifying individual pieces, there are just so many! I currently only have one I am not able to name, but will keep trying! Anyone know the name of a large hairy Star Wars beast, white with two horns set on top of the head? Two eyes, one nose and a normal mouth. Black toes.
Val has just sent me on a wild goose chase. Get the dogs in, she says. Note plural. Out I go and Google comes running in. I shout for Disney, no response. Down the steps at the end of the courtyard. No sign of him. Back into the house to find him sitting in front of Val!!! "Oh I meant Google not dogs" she says!!!!!!
Google is now in our bedroom attacking the sofa he sleeps on. I have told him when its destroyed he is on the floor - but he ignores me!!
Well, time to go. Ches is taking Alice around to Lin's where she is having a sleepover with Alisha. She hasn't been on a sleepover since ... oh... last night. She was at her friend Alice's. Two Alice's in one house - oh joy!!!
