It's Friday!!

So, it's been a mixed week; we have a new dog so there has been some settling in to do.....supervision of peeing and pooing (there's something that feels so wrong about standing silently in the garden in the rain watching a tiny dog poo); trying different tactics to get our pint sized picky eater to ingest enough nourishment (perfect husband took to lying on the floor pretending to eat from her bowl whilst making slurping noises last night-where's the camera when I need it?) and trying to persuade her that every time we go out in the car we are not taking her back to the rescue place so she has no need to shake and whimper with fear. All in all it's going pretty well, she even let Perfect Husband dress her up ET style, and that is today's pic, oh so cute!
In other news we went to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers on Monday night; one word- Lush! In the UK this word is not used to describe someone who is an alcoholic, but rather it describes someone or something that is gorgeous, lovely, amazing, and other similar positive and admiring type words. And Anthony Kiedis, in all his shirtless and tattooed glory is just that; lush. I was so pleased that they lived up to my expectations; they are so good at what they do. They sounded great and Kiedis and Flea bounded around the stage like schoolboys. They don't need scores of dancers and backing singers and manic costume changes to entertain a crowd, they just do what they do, and that is more than enough.
Um, what else happened? Oh yes, as Perfect Husband had been driving me to work and back (he had some time off work this week) I hadn't been using the bus. So when I did for the first time this week on Wednesday, the lady bus driver asked me where I had been and told me she had missed me! And that's what it's like here in Anchorage; a small, somewhat quirky place where perfect strangers chat to each other without thinking twice about it. Sometimes I like it, and sometimes (when it's a somewhat drunken and toothless Homie) I don't like it too much, but I find as long as you're polite, nobody gets hurt!
I also got drenched from head to toe on Wednesday. I had got off the bus and was walking home, it had been raining and the road I have to walk down appears to be slowly sinking in the middle, causing it to be like a V shaped channel with a small river running down the middle. Naturally any cars that drive along this road in either direction spray anyone who happens to be on foot. Most of the decent people will slow down, but there's always one individual that no doubt is too busy texting to notice someone else besides them using the road, or else they are just plain mean. Needless to say one such mean spirited individual actually sped up as they approached me; the puddle water actually hit me in the ear, in my hair, on my cheek, coat, skirt and boots. I hope Karma finds them........ accidents I can deal with and forgive, but deliberate meanness? Not so much.
And finally; if you have BBC America, watch Broadchurch! It has been on in the UK, to great acclaim, and now they are showing it on BBC America so I can watch it (I don't think they put it on especially for me; but you never know....) and it's oh so gripping!
Enjoy your weekend, and here's my little ET......
