Apparently “er indoors TM” was
up with the dogs at tree o’clock last night. I must have missed that.
As I peered into Facebook this morning I was presented
with quite a few adverts… Last night I’d been idly speculating about having a
couple of nights away for our wedding anniversary. This morning my Facebook
feed was awash with adverts for dog-friendly cottages.
As I scoffed toast so the birthday girl got told off.
It might be her ninth birthday, but she isn’t allowed to bark at passers-by.
She knows that.
With “er indoors TM” off
on some works volunteering day I took the dogs out. As we drove to the woods
the pundits on the radio were spouting their usual drivel. Apparently only
fifteen per cent of people have ever taken a child to an art gallery, and some gallery in Manchester was encouraging people
to allow their brats to run riot in an attempt to increase visitor numbers.
Experts seem to think that girls born in the
UK this year will have an average of less than one and a half children in their
lifetime.
And Forestry England has felled a lot of timber in the
Cheviots (somewhere up north) but not realised that the woodland tracks which
allow the forestry workers in are too small for the lorries that take the
timber out. And so the felled timber is just sitting there. Woops.
We got to the woods where some woman was walking would
the car park making strange squawking noises at all the other dogs, which was
winding them up. We hurried off before she could wind us up.
We saw a couple of foragers as we walked; foraging
seems to be the thing to do in the woods at the moment. I suppose it is all
very well all the time you know that which you can forage and safely eat and
that which will kill you.
We saw a deer. It posed long enough to get a blurred
photo. We met a couple of geocachers. And Bailey rolled in muck. I wish she
wouldn’t.
We came home for a bath.
With Bailey bathed I made myself a cuppa and did the
monthly accounts. They’ve certainly been better, but the planned long weekend
away won’t be happening any time soon.
I watched another episode of “Years and Years”
which predicted the repeal of the US “Roe
V Wade” court decision years before it happened, then wrote
up some CPD. I thought I’d spend a few minutes doing it; I spent
all afternoon. I eventually stopped when the birthday girl became fractious.
I’d been at it for so long I’d forgotten to do “Feed The Fish!”
“er indoors TM” returned
and boiled up some rather good burgers which we scoffed whilst watching “Fawlty Towers: The
Play”. I was disappointed.. I won’t say it was rubbish; it wasn’t. But
it reminded me of all of the latest series of “Red Dwarf” in that for
all that the show had been hyped up, there was absolutely nothing new about it
at all.
