    No you didn’t. A comment was misconstrued. If anything, I thought I’d offended you.Not to worry. It’s summer. Its hot. A lot of people are going through a lot of changes or are under a lot of pressure. We are all touch touchy or a tad testy ( take your pick ).As for me,Je suis fatigué, et je vais au lit. Je vais vous parler dans quelques heures.

    When I first read this strip, about 1970, Andy sang songs from WW 2 era and earlier. Time passes.

    but it’s “grief,” not grieve. One is a noun, the other is a verb…………>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>I know, I know. This is why I miss the edit button. Hey, what do you expect from a one- and-a- half-eyed old man writing at 1:30am ?

    Johnny Cash has always been my favorite singer, since I was 5 years old. (Now I’m mumble mumble…….) Nice to see Andy likes him, too. Although I personally would rather that his second song would be “Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head”, which seems to have a note of the ol’ Andy defiance in it. (Now I have to go watch “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid”……….)

    @Number SixHave you completed your move to Glasgow? I would love to be back there now. The heat here is about to get the best of me.

    Here’s a ‘rainy’ one with ‘Blank’ the Mystery Dog.Andy certainly is considerate!Wet-dog smelt disrupts Florrie’s Housework.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Actually, I think Reg was poking fun at the greyhound owners in the U.K. and Ireland , at that time. When I lived there, it seemed everyone had a racing greyhound, that they’d hoped would become the new Master McGraw. The dogs were treated better than the rest of the family and ate better,too.

    Glad I humoured you with the ‘Up On The Roof’ song. I thought to myself ‘That would be perfect for Gweedo’ LOL.

    Sorry about the water damage. Are the gutter people coming on Monday? I hope that job gets done quickly like the roof. Fingers crossed!

    I checked out your Monty link and read through all of the strips with Jarvis the Butler. I liked the July 12th one. Very funny!

    Thank you so much again.

    P.S I love your little smileys.

    You’d be surprised just how much of Scotland is unoccupied. We English (well, the powers that be) saw to that in the Highland Clearances..It’s a beautiful part of the UK. If you get the chance, go there and don’t be put off by talks of drunken Scotsmen. After all, a lot of the original US settlers came from Scotland..I know you follow a vegan diet but Scottish beef is so much better than English.

    I get the impression that some of your roof was asbestos. If so, you’re better off without it..I only hope it was properly disposed of.

    I love Billy Connoly. I have a VHS tape of his “World Tour of Scotland”, which I cant play until I get it transferred to DVD.

    I think “I Love A Rainy Night” would have been an appropriate song for Andy as well.
