Patrick, did you tell Missis Patrick your having another dog, or did Missis Patrick tell you. How did it go down, or was it previously discussed.

Celebrated my grand daughters wedding in this fabulous setting yesterday.
Very happy day at a great venue.

Caught my son in law in a pensive moment, staring at that stunning view.
I put my arm over his shoulder and said 'one day my son this will be all yours'
By the way... reading the promo guff.
It is impossible for the sun to set over the castle at that angle.
Very happy day at a great venue.

Not an inducement, more of a thank you… we have spent over £300k with them over the last 12 months.
It's one of those grey areas. Send them a calendar, it will come back to you, 'not allowed to accept gifts'. Ask someone on a day out, golf day, corporate football, rugby, cricket etc, all okay

Just make sure it is put in the hospitality book - or at least that works for a certain sector of employment that we can't mention on hereIt's one of those grey areas.

Granted I've had the odd dodgy one over the years but the food's normally not that bad

Sorry but....
My wife loves watching Long Lost Families in which historically separated families (most usually due to adoption) go in search of other family members....often people going in search of their original parents after adoption. I'm not interested a great deal myself, but it is on in the back ground whilst I do other stuff. However, what always strikes me is the sadness that folks have in not knowing what happened to children given up and how much they always seem to have them in their thoughts. Now obviously there are good reasons why there is a complete separation with no contact, but that's not the reason behind this post. Irrespective of anything, it always seems to give great joy, as well as some sadness, when closure is given and folks are "reunited", even if it's just a picture or other momento when they discover the person they are searching for has passed.
We lost our dog Blue on Monday. We did not have him from a puppy but bought him when he was about 1, from a young family who were being forced to move home and were not allowed pets in their new rental accommodation. Blue was very much his "dad's" dog and used to go everywhere with him, in his van to work etc etc etc and he was obviously distraught at having to give him up.
Over the years however, due to the families kids attending the same school as our grandson, they still saw Blue on occasion, as my wife would often take him when picking up our grandson from school, and it was an obvious pleasure for "dad" to see his dog again....even if Blue took absolutely no notice of him and just treated him as another person. When our grandson changed schools the contact was broken, but on rare occasions thereafter the wife would bump into either the dad or mum, whilst out shopping, and was able to tell them a little bit about what Blue had been up to.
Yesterday, the wife was able to contact "dad" and pass on the sad news of Blues passing...whilst saddening, dad was very thankful to have been informed and said that he always wondered how Blue was getting on, especially as he drove past our house many times. He was happy to have the closure that so many people just don't get (bringing me back full circle to my opening paragraph) and I'm happy that we still had his contact details to be able to let him know the sad news.
It's been a tough two days, every time we get up in the morning, there is no presence to demand attention and feeding, no one for us to instruct to "guard" when we went out, no dog to greet delivery drivers when they come knocking, no dog to get in the way when we are making dinner. So currently seeking any rays of sunshine where we can...and I thought the tale above, whilst ultimately sad, was also gladdening, in its own small way.
