Badger wanted to take the parabolic curve at speed but the staff were stopping everyone from walking up the slope so he had to be satisfied with this… 😬🚗🚙🚓
☺️
Also the nice man had more than a touch of Nigel-Hawthorne’s-Georgie-in-Mapp-and-Lucia about him so it was quite tricky not to smile and nod too much🫣😁
Of course the Humans would have preferred to wander around and look at the things they were interested in, and just read the labels in English next to the objects… 🤨🤣
This is the Roman bits of Turin under the cathedral in the Diocesan Museum, but sadly because we were English we somehow got given a very nice volunteer to take us round who said he had no English so he gave us a tour in French… 🙄🤭
@samsgromit.bsky.social HYPOCAUST!!! (And it’s a posh one - like little columns not piled up tiles!)
Salve Gromit! 👋🐾 *wavey paws
Lunchtime, and we’ve been joined by a small local woof called Hubert/Umberto. Mr Throckmorton enjoys this bar but we’re not sure if it’s the beer or because the lady at the bar said he was ‘Bellisima’ 🤭
The #TerrierTuesday Theme for 2nd September is 'Travelling In Style' chosen by Jill & Mango @jillbdc.bsky.social So lets see you doing just that! Show us your #Terriers past & present, on their travels 🐕 Please Repost to spread the word. Thank You #DogsOfBlueSky #BTposse #Photography #Dogs #Pets
❤️🌈🥺
Beggars can’t be choosers! 😬
Buongiornio! Coffee time again! #CaykTunnel
We saw that with a little terrier this morning who was just about to, then his mum said hello to a friend and he stopped and started wagging his tail and sniffing ‘hello’ as well 😆
You silly twisted boy!! 🤭😆
You need to plan a holiday…. 😬 torino.beerguide.it/venues/skjum...
It’s another sunny Italian evening, so a nice draught Norwegian beer is ideal… #SmallBearsNeedBeer @bonsvoeux1.bsky.social @millymammoth.bsky.social @humph-hugo.bsky.social
On the test track on the roof of the old FIAT factory… No Minis going past today 🤭
They’re drowning!! Jump in to save them Gertie!! 😬
Nice to know that it’s not just UK train services that are disrupted at weekends… 😆
Coffee time, says Mr Throckmorton…
We thought Hannibal had elephants…?! 🤭🤣
You can never un-see a dusty chandelier in a museum, no matter how spectacular the rest of the rooms are… 🫣😬
Just 300m above the highest point in the county… 🤣
@thewritertype.bsky.social
It’s good enough for the Italian National Team, and they’ve qualified for the World Cup…😊
Lovely segue there from a commando crawl into a woggle and back again 🫡👏 Male human is from Norfolk so this idea of a ‘wee hill’ is causing much mirth at FHTowers😂
Where’s the ground ? 🤔 @wgrumblepants.bsky.social
Pfffft. Call for a review
Evening Henry!! Are you still in Somerset? We’ve lost track…
Some debate as to whether the Mole Antonelliana in Turin is any relation… @moleymole.bsky.social ? 🤔😬
We think the photo needs a dog for scale purposes…😬
Such sad news. We will miss the updates of your LFM as we love vicariously living through the online #BTPosse Take the time to be upset, think of the lovely life you gave him, and that he gave everyone. 💔🌈🐾
These are actually bread sticks, a Turin specialty! 🤭 We had the chips last night… 😆
After a hard day walking between meals #SmallBearsNeedBeer @beerbear21.bsky.social @millymammoth.bsky.social @humph-hugo.bsky.social
Gloves?
Cricket balls perhaps?! 🤔😬
In male human’s student days BBC Radio tickets were issued through the BBC’s own Ticket Unit. They sent you a leaflet with recording dates and you sent back a slip which said how many you wanted. Most recordings were at the Paris studio lower Regent Street…
This is amazing… 🥰
@samsgromit.bsky.social … 😬
It’s when they get to the ball boys that you know it’s not going well… 🤣
Today’s art was apparently all about dogs…
We need a classical roman archaeologist. Perhaps Sam can start a course… ? 🤔🤣
Was there ice cream today?
Or, if they did and then said everything she said in the dissertation!! 😳
Yes, but you know if they did she’d be saying that they got it all wrong and hadn’t mentioned things…
Torino!! 🙂
We hope you start them off on gentle mountain walks! 😬
Coffee, then art, then lunch…
Ooh! We were thinking of you lot after the first leg… 😬
Don’t Know Nothin’ Yet ?
TRAM TRAM TRAM TRAM!!!!! @samsgromit.bsky.social *Badger swoons with excitement
Many cultures have their own weird soft drink - Malta has Kinnie (bitter orange and wormwood) Switzerland has Rivella (contains fruit extracts and milk) and I’m sure there’s others I’ve forgotten…
Why would a ‘patriot’ want to put the Union Jack in his feet to kick it through the dirt… Oh, hang on…
What a great day out. We must put it on the list…
Those would go well with cheesecake… 😬
Have you contacted them for lost property? Male human’s work has loads of pairs left behind every year which get sent to the charity shop
The advantages/ disadvantages of size… 🤔
Male human was sent to take a photo of ‘the painting’ and was gobsmacked to realise it was needlepoint!!
You do, but our lot often neglect to take pics of us, or then forget to post them…🙄
Happy Birthday Alfie! Hope there was extra noms and walks
That’s pretty exciting for a day out, and at least Sam remembered to take photos… 🙄
Italian sossidge for dinner! 😬 @hungarianbear.bsky.social @beerbear21.bsky.social
We wonder if they are as nice as the oatcakes that @sonningbear.bsky.social gets in Stoke…🤔😬
#NationalDogDay on #TerrierTuesday and here’s a needlepoint picture we saw hanging in a Paris bar on Sunday night… 🥰
We know its Bank Holiday Monday but Heidi sez can you please repost to spread the word about #TerrierTuesday to ALL #Terriers on #BlueSky please? 🐕 #BTposse #DogsOfBlueSky #Dogs #Photography bsky.app/profile/did:...
Sounds like s good idea. Then the netflicks series adaptation, with you in the leading role, obvs 😬
Good Night!
Probably iron in the water… Many years ago Male human’s ex-boss decided to use the on site well instead of paying the water company… trouble is the water was iron infused and all the sheets and shirts gradually went brown 🤣
Yay! Carry on drilling!! 🤭
Is this something they normally do or have they saved it up specially cuz you’ve taken time off to write? 🙄😠
A visit to the excellent and thoughtful exhibition ‘The Berlin Wall -A world divided’ at the Cité de l’Architecture in Paris. Mr Throckmorton met a distant relative…
Perhaps not so much ‘Peaky Blinders’ as ‘Cheeky Buggers’? 🤭🤣
We’re thinking perhaps there’s a connection with this… 🤔😳😆
I think we shared it before, but can’t find it on the phone… 🙄🤭
A bright light sweeps the Parisian skyline as if to act as a sort of signal…. 😲 #TheGlimpsing
Molly loved it. She won rosettes, once beat the Household Cavalry Terrier at the Sandringham Show, and qualified for the ‘Cock ‘o the North’ championships 🥰
Depends on what they use as the lure… male human’s old BTs loved terrier racing, but then the game shows tended to use a rabbit skin or fox tail, and make sure they were properly wound up before they started 🤭😆
Ooh, yes! Forgot the cork ‘bang’s as they flew across the kitchen and hit the opposite wall… 😆
Night night Henry!
*bows head. Such sad news. Gentle nose boops to the hooms, and hope you can fight the tears to remember the best life she had with you. 🥰
*The Young Ones… 🤭😆
🤨 Not fair!! *Calls Dogline
Only one between you?! 😲
Hope you’re on the mend now!
Male human’s student housemate once had three bottles of home-made elderflower champagne explode in the kitchen whilst maturing… Before the cleanup they had no idea the walls were supposed to be white!! 😆🍾🧽🪣
Breakfast in bed? 🤔🍽️
🤔🤭
Has Gromit been doing Uri Geller impressions again
Snacks!!! ☺️
🤭
Yay!
No, but ‘Miss Otis Regrets’ is for the chop… 🤔😲
😳😲
Lovely to see some more of your #QD reports. Sunset/sunrise reminds us of our trip to Stonehaven five years ago 😬
