After a long day, our early evening ritual is to sit in the shade by the pool and enjoy a glass or two of rouge. It's when we begin to relax after the day's gruelling and arduous tasks have all been completed (well, most of them).
Monty usually joins us, and gnaws on his one-a-day bone-shaped chew.
And Bok, on the other hand, just poses like the super-star that he undoubtedly is, with his left hand nonchalantly dangling in the water; fishing.
It's a hard life.
You're a lucky man, Cro. :)
ReplyDeleteDo the dogs ever go for a swim?
Not in the pool, they don't. They go to the lake.
DeleteI probably should apologise for posting the above. If you are off to some dreary job, it's raining, and you've got toothache; I'M SORRY.
ReplyDeleteYes, it looks like some warmth there. Although the day started off fine and sunny it was a bit chilly and we got rain showers in the afternoon with a high of 16 C and the forecast overnight is for 9 C. Still it is winter and spring and summer will be here before we know it.
DeleteDoesn't mean I couldn't do with some nice warmth right now.
Yes.
DeleteLeading the life of Riley - whoever Riley was. The dogs look so calm and relaxed - perfect pictures.
ReplyDeleteDreary Job? tick...Raining? tick......envious? yes.....BUT..I am also glad for you and Lady M Cro and wouldn't wish you were in my boat...looks lovely there...enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI feel so sorry for you all !!!! XXXX
ReplyDeleteWell…at least you had to endure gruelling and arduous tasks first! Do I believe that? Nah. It looks lovely. When can I come and stay?
ReplyDeleteAll very civilised Cro. I have never owned a labrador but I always think they look such a sensible breed.
ReplyDeleteIf a little self-centred... He thinks mostly of food.
DeleteI did exactly the same last night, but without the pool, dogs, trees, sky, etc.
ReplyDeleteYes, but you were studying the net curtains at No 35, with your telescope!
DeleteLiving the movie star life.
ReplyDeleteThe dogs, yes. Me, no.
DeleteJust had a perfect lunch of bread, pate, red wine, melon, strawberries and rapsberries. You were right Cro, that pate piquant is excellent. Thanks for the tip! (Time for my afternoon siesta now.)
ReplyDeleteJust had my siesta (12-2), just had a swim, and now all set for some mowing! I'm very pleased that you enjoyed the Paté.... good isn't it.
DeleteThink I will go take a swim in the pool…..oh that’s right I don’t have one ;o/
ReplyDeleteI would not be able to keep my dog out of that pool LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see everyone enjoying themselves!
ReplyDeleteStruggling to draw parallels here ! Does our river frontage count? I have been looking after the families' Labradors too this week and it has been sunny, so possibly. Nah! you are VERY glamourous !
