As you can guess from its name the stinking rose was a garlic themed restaurant with absolutely everything cooked with garlic. The pork chops and mashed potatoes were really nice as I recall.

It was very popular in the 90’s and our cabin crew were banned by the airline from visiting the night before the flight home!

Sadly I was in San Francisco last month and noticed it had now closed down.

Don’t worry too much about posting that….🤔

Sadly, it would appear that yet again Santa was unable to get the sixty foot luxury yacht that I really deserve down the chimney.

 I find this inexplicable….

 

 

I heard that Santa is only doing 50 foot yachts these days.

The pesky animal was his normal mad self this morning, he’s a dalmador half Dalmatian half Labrador so a bit mad. I deliberately put my chocolate orange up on the mantle piece so he couldn’t get it, he’s obviously developed a method of retrieval. 

He did leave a small pile of vomit as a present though. ( wife now cleaning up 🤣)

 

Your wife could be the phantom Chocolate Orange eater. She placed the dog vomit there to throw you off the track.

That may not have been from the dog.

If he has a cat, dogs and cats have been known to work together. For example, there's a roast on the counter. The dog can't reach the counter, and the roast is too heavy for the cat to carry off. So the cat knocks the roast off the counter, the dog carries it off to a safe place, and the dog and cat share the feast.

This is also how we know the earth isn't flat. If it were, cats would have already knocked everything off the edge.

Those are very good points, but as he only has a canine and a wife, my guess is it was indeed the wife. He may need a truth serum to solve this mystery.

Yeah, yeah... now imagine if everyone was a Virgo. 😄 September here.

My best friend was an Aquarius. I did his chart once (yeah, I studied it for several years) and his sun sign was Aquarius, he had Aquarius rising, and a poorly aspected Uranus (ruler of Aquarius). He was, needless to say, a little bit eccentric.

Scoff all you want at astrology, but sun signs really do seem to matter.

The most important thing I learned was, "This Too Shall Pass."

One of dogs' most important roles is to have someone to blame things on. 😄

Well, I'm a Capricorn too.  And still have all but three of my natural teeth to tear into extra rare beef meat with.

So when you are dining out, and the server ask how you want your steak cooked, do you just say "Warm it up"?

No, I say black on the outside and red on the inside.  Not pink...red!
