I love this, it's so gentle :0) I'm not technical, so always feel very pleased that I've managed to fix something, when I sew on a button. Equally, I worry that I don't understand writing often. Your idea of joining the two together is lovely. I...

I like this appreciation of the uncomplicated but intense feelings of dogs.
Also sympathise with not being able to upload pictures. My partner is doing an OU computing degree but I dread asking for help because of the sighs :0)
