I often try to do a little work from home, on the days I am not working. It keeps me calm. Harvey is not usually too keen on me doing this. A little while ago I was reading work emails, and realised Harv was oddly quiet. I asked "what are you doing Harvey?, and the response was "Charlie is playing with me". And so he was. A little 'Blair Witch' meets 'Bob the Builder' perhaps. It didn't seem to bother the dog though.
Other things that have made me laugh out loud lately are:
My friend Jo's appalling parking
And...Harvey and Mabel Rutter. What a gruesome twosome they are. Mabel has stayed at our house overnight for 2 Saturdays in a row. The first time they trashed Harvey's room. They found my sanitary towels - now renamed by them as "sticky nappies" - and stuck them on Harvey's bedroom wall. Here they are the first night, followed by a snap of the condition of Harv's bedroom.
They were asleep by ten pm, so not too bad really. However, they were just lulling me into a false sense of security. Then there was "The sleepover - part 2".
They finally fell asleep at 11:50 pm, and only then because I was in the room with them. I had thought they had gone to sleep around 10:30 pm, as all was quiet. Then, at around 11:30 I heard voices. I opened the bedroom door and was assaulted by the choking vapours. Eucalyptus. Somehow - from where only god himself knows - they had found an entire tub of this
They had smeared it everywhere. All over themselves. All over the furniture. In the carpet. On their beds. In their hair. Mabel looked like this
Here they are the next morning - and no, Mabel's hair is not wet
They are so naughty.
The 'sticky nappies' comment almost made tea come out my nose I laughed so much. Gross but funny.
As for Charlie, I just love the way he looks like he's above Harvey's games and finds it all a bit tiresome. Bless that dog he's an angel.

oh dear god, I'm getting punchy reading this. I would love to be a fly on the wall (but of course you don't have flies because they couldn't survive the eucalyptus).

My friends little boy did the same with sanitary towels.He thought they looked like aeroplanes so stuck them to the bedroom window.My friend didn't see them 'flying' until she came home from work that night.Most of her neighbours had though!!! Don't you just love those 'naughty' moments though?
