“How was your walk today?”
“Rick attacked a man up a tree. Grabbed his trousers and barked at him.”
“Stop fibbing.”
“I’m not.”

| Hey Santa, you're barking up the wrong tree! |
Paul climbed up into the attic yesterday morning with Kat to dig out the Christmas decorations. “Isn’t that the board you left behind in France?” she asked, pointing to a chess board leaning against the wall in front of the loft ladder.
“Don’t tell Mum!”
(We spent good money on an expensive new chess board recently to replace the one we thought had been left in France after Paul had thoroughly searched the attic. We now have two chess boards.)
I doubt that Rick will be the only dog to attack that strange fella up the tree ! Santa won't find a chimney up there!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what you see out and about in the countryside.
DeleteThat's funny about the chess board! (But probably not at the time you found the original). -Jenn
ReplyDeleteWhat on earth can you do with two chess boards?
DeleteYou can play some progressive speed chess with yourselves, à la Queen's Gambit, if you can sub some extra pieces!
ReplyDeleteOh well, you have a back-up chess board. Rick had to check out that Santa climbing one of his favorite trees.
ReplyDeleteOne for Chess, the other for Draughts.
