Oh, it was blooming cold
this morning. But Furry Face was rather fractious, and so having let
him charge round the garden for a while I took him for a walk round
the block. He didn’t seem at all bothered by the frost on the grass
and the ice on the paths. That is he didn’t seem bothered until he
skidded on the ice. That made him sit up and take notice.
I had this naïve idea
that not many people would be about before 9am on a Sunday, and we
had Bowen’s Field to ourselves. But as we got to Viccy Park I
realised that we were not alone. Seemingly every dog in Kent was
running loose round the park. Howling, and whiling, barking and
fighting. Fudge went straight on to his lead, and we went to the
co-op field. Which was just as overrun with badly behaved mutts. So
we came home via a bit of a detour.
The morning was dull, and
in the afternoon the Bat called round and we took Fudge up to Kings
Wood for a walk round the area. It was cold, and I slipped on frozen
mud a few times. But Fudge needed a walk, and Kings Wood is good for
a stroll. There’s three geocaches up there as well. We found two of
them. The third was a puzzle which involved finding a particular tree
stump. This stump was marked with an “X” carved into it.
Apparently. We couldn’t find it. We gave up after twenty minutes,
then went into Challock where we did a few more caches, and didn’t
find another.
And so home to warm up.
Fudge had a bath. He doesn’t seem to mind baths too much, but if he
will roll in fox poo, he has no choice. It’s perhaps rather
worrying that I am now quite familiar with the smell of fox poo. I
can recognise the smell of poo in general, but I can now distinguish
common or garden poo from fox poo. We made a discovery when we came
home - as well as fox poo, that dog also likes tea.
With "er
indoors TM"
out bowling I
then spent the evening watching rubbish on the telly whilst Fudge
slept. Perhaps a waste of an evening, but sometimes you can't beat
slobbing about.
Oh
- and it's December. December isn't December without a Lego
Advent Calendar...
