Never live in your own shadow.





A day for digging up the hellebores then decapitating the daffodils. An old drain discovered and expertly excavated. The low hanging branches on the fir trees nibbled. Blackbirds chased. White vans barked at. Two walks, a paddle in the stream and a trip to the supermarket. On the way home a detour for Bob to christen the tyres in the motorway service stations parking lot. Asleep at nine. They don't wake til seven. Ten hours of silence. Bliss.

I'm not sure if I could handle 10 hours of silence. I would suspect 'someone' was up to something!

Are you feeling wonderfully refreshed?
I do hope so as Bob and Sophie's long, lovely night's rest has
most likely supercharged their
energy stores to overflowing.
Tonight, we suspect, will be a long,
lively night for one and all!

Those gorgeous doggies! I wish I could hug both of them. And, you can make anything funny!
