The morning's installment
had quite a lot of nudey-boobie-wobbling going on. So much so that I
felt obliged to take a moral stance. They don't take themselves, you
know.
Just at the third
nudey-boobie-wobble my phone rang. Could I look after Lacey for the
day? Of course I could. Lacey soon arrived, and we took "Furry
Face TM" for a scooter ride round the
park. (That is Lacey scootered; me and "Furry Face TM"
walked). It was a cold day, but dry. As we walked and scootered
we met and played with other dogs, and only fought with one. Mind you
that one was a husky which looked like its ancestry included polar
bears and wolves. He rolled in frozen fox poo and with only twenty
yards to go before we got home, Lacey scootered into a pot hole and
fell off.
By now "er
indoors TM" had emerged from her pit, so
we all went for a bit of an outing. The plan was to come home with
tropical fish.
First of all we went to
to Grafty Green. Once there was a really good garden centre there.
Now that garden centre is a shadow of its former self. To be honest
the obscure location together with the total disinterest of the staff
can only mean the place's days are numbered.
By now it was mid day.
Lacey fancied KFC for lunch, so KFC it was. And with KFC scoffed we
popped into Dobbies. Unlike Grafty Green they had tropical fish. But
like Tenterden Garden Centre their fish were terribly overpriced. So
I swallowed my pride and went back to Bybrook barn. We stopped off at
the American Diner for caramel sundae and pancakes, and then into
Bybrook's pet section. At half the price of Dobbies we came away with
over twenty quid's worth of tiddlers; including two "Silver
see-throughs" that Lacey wanted. In fact we got all the fish
that Lacey wanted. She told me I couldn't have the ones I wanted.
Once home we all settled
in front of the telly and watched a film. "Shrek II"
was entertaining. I then left the girls and set off to what
(hopefully) might become a regular piss-up. The leading
lights of the astro club gathered in Folkestone for a quiet drinkie
or two. Pints of stout, selfie sticks, unpasteurised cheese, cigars,
pool... it all got rather vague but I'm sure there was a kebab in
there somewhere..
