Morning friends!
I am thinking of putting in a request for a rebranding of this blog.
'Nice Nobby / Naughty Nobby' will not, I think, quite do. The 'Naughty Nobby' bit is frankly rather offensive, using an insulting word to encompass a range of behaviours including curiosity, independence of spirit, creativity, determination, courage, exuberance and more. As for 'Nice', well I put that in the category of damning with faint praise.
I was thinking about this in Duthie Park yesterday morning, when Gail had been rewarding me for jumping up on the concrete blocks in front of the Winter Gardens.
She says she once saw a collie running along and over the whole line of 17 blocks at speed, and tried to train my predecessor Bertie to do the same, but all to no avail. So much for 'Bouncing' Bertie!
Since I conquered this particular task at first attempt with no problem at all, I believe that, sticking with the alliterative theme, 'Nimble Nobby' would be a suitable tag for this blog. Please watch the following short (30 sec) video and tell me if you agree.
Oh and one more thing. On Monday one of our very favourite blog friends, Cecilia, asked if we knew that there is an Aberdeen in her home state of North Carolina? Well in fact we did. The notice board behind me here gives information about the different Aberdeens all over the world.
Including this one.
I wonder if any of my other friends live near an Aberdeen?
