Fred Basset by Alex Graham for September 28, 2021

But more time to spend with you Fred.

Fred, tell Mr Dear he is a human being not a human doing! And get him to scratch behind your ears while he is at it!

We’ve all been there,Fred. There’s only so many ear scratches and belly rubs a person can give a deserving dog such as yourself, and I imagine even you would get your fill. It’s hard sometimes to readjust plans when you were really set on them. Maybe he should take a nap, and hopefully he will be in a better frame of mind when he gets up.

Only way I would agree with you, Fred, would be if it were rugby !! ! ! But, cricket ?!?!?? Really, ‘Fred’ ! ! !

Sounds like it is time for a nap ;-)

Naturally, the cricket would be cancelled for the rain.

Perfect day to curl up with a good book and a cuppa tea

Turn on some ruggers! They’ll be playing in the rain and mud!

I haven’t watched cricket since Brian Statham bowled for Lancashire and Freddie Trueman bowled for Yorkshire. Living in Canada for over 50 years hasn’t helped!

How many wish these minor annoyances were our greatest worries?

“I so wanted to mow the lawn” just rings a bit hollow! ;-)

Isn’t this like, every other day in England and he s/b used to it? :^)
