Sims, Dogs and Holidays

Tweet

Well, apologies for yet another absence! The truth is that I’ve been really getting into Sims 4, which (coupled with family involvements) has meant that everything else has taken second place! At some stage I shall write about what I like – and don’t like – about Sims 4 compared with the other Sims games, but I shall refrain from doing so on my first day back, so to speak. So, what has everyone been doing? We’re off to Cyprus on holiday in a week’s time, so we’re all rather taken up with that at the moment. My daughter and I are going to have our finger and toe nails polished on Wednesday – a very necessary part of preparing for our departure! – and we’ve been buying lots of Kindle books. We’ve also been busy concocting all sorts of strange rumours and regulations concerning airline regulations for my son, who hasn’t experienced an international flight for over 20 years. Well, my daughter has, anyway. I guess it’s what “little” sisters are for! Our other priority is obtaining a dog. We went to a local Rescue Centre the other day. It was very sad! There were not many dogs in, but those who were looked so excited at the prospect of being let out, and so upset when we didn’t let them out. None there would have been suitable for us, but we fell in love with two who were not. It has to be a dog that I can pick up and that won’t pull me over, as I’m not very steady on my feet. Sadly, many of the dogs were bull breeds of one sort or another. While these breeds are often very affectionate with “their” humans, they are usually much too strong for me, and their reaction to other dogs is not always dependable. I did rather fall for a small French Bulldog, but someone else had got there first. In any case, we couldn’t do anything before going on holiday. Anyway, I must go now and get on with sorting out what I’m going to pack. I always seem to pack and unpack at least three times before I go, and even then I forget something vital. So, how organised are you at packing? And, if you were hoping to obtain a dog, how would you go about doing so? I’d really love a Miniature Schnauzer, but it seems kinder somehow to go to a Rescue Centre and give a home to a dog that needs one.
