Joy

Hi,

Today we had sunshine and rain. We went to the market for you know what, dined at a semi-outside cafe, had a visit from a friend, and Daku 'performed'.

Well, I got a few responses on this one. Maybe today's clues will jar your memory. The group liked the beach.
"I don't know where, but she sends me there..... I'm pickin' up __ __, she's givin' me excitations, I'm pickin' up __ __ (oom bop bop, __ __)..." Hint: The title in two words describes a pleasurable feeling. Hmm.

This morning the yard was dry. We had scheduled, once again, a little swim party. By the looks of the sky it seemed like it might not be such a good idea. On top of that, the water was cold. At exactly 2pm, the time for the party, it began to rain. It's a good thing we had called it off.

We had some errands to run so we went to the market, picked up our treats, and did the shopping we needed. It was time for lunch so we went to the Hub Kaffe across from the Clock Tower. We learned an important lesson during lunch. Always point to the item on the menu that you wish to order. There was much confusion with the waiter and I ended up not getting anything to eat. When we brought it to his attention, they brought out the same thing that Lisa had ordered. I didn't make a fuss, I just ate it. Now we know.

Atom came by this afternoon. On her last visit we had mentioned that we were looking for dishes, and had ask her if she knew a place to get them. She arrived with four beautiful dessert plates that she picked up at Walking Street last Saturday night. She also brought us a jar of Thai herbal liniment that she said was very effective. We had a fun visit, and she and Daku bonded. At one point Lisa was going to show her a couple of Daku's tricks. She told him to 'roll over', and he just sat there and looked at her. A repeat of the command brought the same result. Then we realized that there were no treats involved. As soon as she came back with a treat he performed like a pro. What a dog.

Have a Thrilling Thursday.

Peace,
Danny
