Geraldine in real life, teaching languages in the North West. Education, bit of politics, some tennis, occasional pictures of my dog and worries about my kids, random stuff I think is funny. New empty nester.

Had some bad news today about the dog. Just putting it out there to say it. Here he is looking dapper.

This is my husband in Dubrovnik. He has the suitcase on his shoulder so that the sound of the wheels doesn't disturb the locals. I think it's a fab photo. It speaks volumes about him, and reminds me what a great person he is.
From the back, a man in shorts with a suitcase on his right shoulder and a backpack. It's the white stone of Dubrovnik all around. He's passing a church, and there's a priest in a white robe looking wearily at the day. It's early, we're heading back to the airport and I suddenly realise I still love him. Husband,  not priest,  obviously.

Here's where Mungo slept during the thunder and lightning last weekend. He's a buffoon.
My ginger and white dog has squeezed himself into the gap between my pillow and the headboard.  I am in the bed. Pretty much the dog is asleep on my head

Greetings, Buster. I thought of you when I saw this picture on my holidays.
Cat and Sardines, a painting by Duro Pulitika. There's a basket lying on its side with a pile of blueish fish tumbling out onto the floor.  Then there's a black cat looking very pleased with itself, and all businesslike. My money is on the cat being responsible for tipping the basket.

Dubrovnik on a very windy day, and one of my eyes.

I think I've just brought home my last French school trip. I'm too old and too tired. I feel guilty, as you do, but resolute. I'm hanging up my clipboard.

Mungo hates weekends away. He likes his own house, thank you very much. Luckily he is coping so far 🤞🦊 Happy #Furriday, all.

The Christmas present I always wanted but never got.
Girls world from the 1970s. Basically it was a dummy head you could put make up onto, and you could style the hair.
