CRIKEY ......... TIME DOESN'T HALF SKID ON PAST YA IF YOUR NOT PAYING ATTENTION!





Some people may attribute my 2 month blogging coma as a sign of great age and ensuing dementia, others may have explained my absence to a short spell in rehab but the simple truth of the matter is that I have been gosh darn run off of me feet!

One minute I am clearing up the debris caused by 6 weeks of summer vacation and the next minute its 63 shopping days til Christmas. 63 days that is if you live in the normal world, in Swampland its considerably less cause all the shops are closed for no bloody good reason on a Monday morning and all day on Sunday.

I guess I should pay more attention.

Here is a brief catch up of stuff that has happened over the last couple of months;

Hamish's demise has been attributed to a Mexican stand off with Cloggy's Rooster.











Oldest Baby Cloggy turned 20 and received a basket of socks as recognition. He still refuses to move out.





Cloggy has become the 'Marco van Basten' equivilent for the girls under 10's team at Haackey Hockey Club.
Smallest Baby Cloggy plays in this team and has come home with a few choice words about her fathers coaching techniques - I suppose if she has to learn to swear she may as well learn it from the master himself.






Middle Baby Cloggy is not improving with age but he has a wicked back hand shot so we forgive him.





And me ...... Well I had the most excellent conversation with the Jehovah's Witness's a few weeks ago. I pointed out the slight flaw in their recruitment technique - i.e. If God has already chosen the few (and it isn't that many) that will ascend into heaven on the day of judgement why the feck would they want to shorten their odds of being in the Almighty's selection by expanding their brethren? They refused to let me take a photograph but did leave a couple of their God bothering flyers.
Personally I prefer the Mormons, there is a lot to be said about a religion that advocates stock piling of canned food for Armageddon.

It with a heavy heart that I sit here and write. This evening our old faithful skate boarding pooch departed to the great half pipe in the sky.



Hamish McDog
June 14th 1996 - September 8th 2009


Favorite food- Anything .... including Cloggys left shoes (only the left ones never the right - go figure!)
Favorite pass time - Skate Boarding and Barking at birds
Hobbies - Skateboarding, Eating, Chasing Cats, Eating, Chasing Hockey Balls, Eating, Chasing Bunnies, Eating, Sleeping on the Sofa, Eating, Playing with the kids, Eating, Trampolining, Eating, Swimming, Eating, Surf Fishing (mainly because he got to eat the left over bait) and cleaning the BBQ.
Most Endearing Quality - Always knowing when one of his human pets were sad and snuffling up close to comfort them.
Most Un-Endearing Quality - Farting and then leaving the room.

Hamish McDog was one in a million who we will miss keenly but all good things must come to an end eventually. We were lucky to be a part of his life for as long as it lasted and it lasted a long time! He had a damn fine innings,enjoyed his retirement and has left us with very many happy memories which we will cherish.

Rest Well My Faithful Old Friend.

Today was a very busy day in our corner of the Netherlands



It all has to do with the Harvest Celebrations and Carnival that the Buurse Parish Council organises.

As I have blogged previously many thousands of people come to our sleepy little community for the Party, Airshow and Fireworks. It is indeed very spectacular. However ....... We can not drive out of our own road on this day!

Major Cloggy had to give Major Suck Up to the Army Dudes that were on Parking  Duty at the end of our road just so we could get out to get to the Hockey Field!

Cloggy won the discussion and has been given a Field Promotion ... Colonel Cloggy. If he keeps this level of `i don´t give a feck´up we will promote him to General!

The chicken Hot pot is now closed however due to a heated and extended debate in the Cloggy household regarding the suggested names the selection may take a little longer than anticipated.
