Last night was something
of a test for 5-hydroxy-tryptophan. Did the stuff do the trick?
Difficult to say, really. I woke at 3am, and several times after
that/ but I got proper sleep, with some rather vivid dreams. The
experiment was rather messed up by the shop over the road having a
very noisy delivery at 4.30am. I shall try again tonight and see what
happens.
After a spot of brekkie I
took "Furry Face TM" for aa walk.
This morning's constitutional was quite eventful. Fudge had a serious
woofing fit at a vagrant in his sleeping bag in Bowen's Field wetland
park. And I had a serious woofing fit at the fit (in more ways
than one) young mother who came jogging past with a push chair.
As well as transporting the littlun, she was using the push chair as
some sort of exercise device. Periodically she would stop running
with the push chair and start pulling various contortions over and
about it. It was quite entertaining.
And so home, where I did
my homework for the on-line psychology course. i had to choose a
topic about how mankind interacts with animals and write a short
piece on it. I chose "zoos
- good or bad". I have a couple of days until the thing
is to be handed in, so if any of my loyal readers would like to
offer any comments or advice I'd be very grateful.
I then took the seats out
of the car in readiness for the evening's plans. The seats are heavy
- I weighed one. It weighed two and a half stone. That's a lot. And
then I realised that in the last two years the amount of weight I
have lost is equivalent to two car seats. That really is a lot to be
lugging about.
After a spot of lunch I
put the lead on "Furry Face TM"
and took him ffor another walk. It's odd - no matter how little or
how far we walk in the morning, in the afternoon he's still desperate
for a walk. But when we go he is obviously aching and seems like he
can hardly move. I wonder if some cod liver oil in his food might
help him?
Whilst out we met a
colleague who is hoping to move to the area. I replaced one of my
geoccaches which I found had gone missing a few days ago, and we made
our way home via the Bowens Field Wetland Park. "Furry Face
TM" went straight into the swampy bit and
came out smelling as though something had died. I'm not sure what it
was that had died, but something had. My dog had found one of its
bones. Recapturing the pup was then quite tricky as he seemed
convinced I was after his bone.
And so to Smarden (via
four geocaches) to collect the camping gear. We don't need it for
a little while, but I was at a loose end today so together with the
Bat, er indoors TM" and the Rear
Admiral we got some of the gear together. I need to go through the
shed to see what else we have, and what we need. Once home we put the
gear away, and put the top box onto the car for the summer.
And with all the jobs
done a lot earlier than expected we went out for a little drive. One
of my geocaches had been reported to have a wet log so we went out
and replaced one dry log with another. And then we went on to three
more caches.
Home for a curry, and
more 5-hydroxy-tryptophan...
