Truly important


Another day of strong winds sweeping in from the Bay of Biscay. The weather forecast says the gusts are going to reach 90 km/h with heavy rain and lightning interspersed with hail. That should put paid to the last of the wisteria blossom. So far it's been remarkably calm up here on top of the ridge. The woodpeckers are busy working away - their manic tap tap taping ricocheting up from the valley. No one seems to have told them of the impending downpour. 

As guardian of his flock Bob takes up a proprietorial position half in and half out of the front door.


He remains firmly fixed to his spot, unmoved by passing Senegalese farm workers, a variety of tractors or late running staff heading off for the shift change at the old folks home. His paws evaded the recent trimming but will need to be seen to. They give him something of the look of a 70's era flares wearing hipster.


The sound of shrieking from inside The Rickety Old Farmhouse  indicates that the male PONs peace is about to be shattered. He repairs to the back of the car.


Where he is soon joined by the source of the shrieking.  One very bad tempered lady who is furious with the yogurt pots for not having refilled themselves.


The rest of the world may be wondering whether Jo Biden is too old to run or whether London's traffic will become impossible during a US Presidents State visit. Here Sophie is focused on what's truly important - yogurt .

And something classical for a Wednesday morning : https://youtu.be/Sa8LvdlIDyI?t=26

Bertie sometimes ends up wearing seventies flares too.
Does any dog enjoy having the front paws touched?
