There was a young guide dog named Trigger,

Whether cold food or hot,

And caused many a smirk and a snigger.

Secret Diary Of PorterGirl
I recently came across The Secret Diary of PorterGirl, (https://portergirl.wordpress.com/), which relates the fictional adventures of Deputy Head Porter. PorterGirl is comfortably ensconced in her position at Old College where she spends her time engaging in various escapades. The blog is humorous and well written. I recommend checking it out.

One Of Those Weeks
It has been one of those weeks when, as the bard of Avon says, troubles come not in single files but in batttalions!

The wanderer is now confined in an envelope in my desk drawer which should, I hope curtail any further yen it may develop to head for the open road! I’m typing this using an external USB keyboard which is work...

Thank you to Kenneth Weene for the below guest post. (You can find a brief biography of Kenneth at the end of this article).
The Dog in the Garden
a reminiscence by Kenneth Weene
What a beautiful garden. We sat on the well-cushioned wrought iron chairs waiting for our hostess to bring tea.
“Won’t you take tea and some scones?” Linda asked before we had even signed the guestbook. “The garden is lovely this time of year.”
And it was, a springtime profusion of color, growth, and scent. Enough to...
