Just sitting here typing away and there was a huge crash on the patio; it's raining and the wind picked up and blew my umbrella over and smashed the glass table. Unbelievable mess out there. I went out (in PJS) and got drenched taking the brolly down (it's okay, at least) but sweeping up the glass will have to wait until it stops raining.

Gutted; my friend had a garden party planned tomorrow because she adores the Royal Family and it's for the Diamond Jubilee and after days of sun and heat, it's cold and pouring it down and she'll have to move inside. And her dog got sprayed by a skunk in the middle of the night so she's been up since four.

Bad Friday. Bad.

If it's not too late, tell your friend about the skunk-smell wash deodorizer:

1 pint household hydrogen peroxide
      (doubled or tripled, depending on size of dog)
1 good handful baking soda per pint
1 squirt liquid soap per pint

Mix in large bowl or bucket. Bathe dog with mixture. Rinse with clear water. Wash again with regular shampoo, rinse. Voil´! No smell.

Here's the recipe online with more measured ingredients, but it starts with a quart of H202, which may be too much for the dog, and the handful-squirt recipe works just as well. (I can testify!)

Warn her not to save any excess -- it will explode a closed container.

At least it's outdoors, but forget walking around the backyard w/o shoes for a bit. Man, sorry, that sucks.

That's awful. Try shining a flashlight on the ground/patio when it gets to be twilight--that's a good way to pick up bits of glass that you otherwise might miss.
