EWell done to you both

I'm allergic to Guernsey - shame as it's a lovely island. It's actually the water that I'm allergic to it would seem .... drinking it, not washing in it. Guernsey, Jersey, Cornwall and either Dorset or Devon, I can't remember which. Bizarre.

I had the day off today and got stuff done. This is highly unusual for me as I normally meander aimlessly through life on my days off. I feel all successful and saintly. DestructoPup took me for another long trot up and down hills, I think she's trying to kill me - she perhaps subscribes to the kill or cure theory and is determined to get me fit or kill me in the attempt. She wouldn't want to push me too far, I have control of the dogfood budget - we're going to have words!

Is dead proud of taking the stairs at the traino... And not collapsing into bed as soon as I've walked through the door ....

Amazing what a difference a good job, working with content and positive people can make to EVERYTHING.....

Oh dear - I remember those days and they weren't fun. Here's hoping that everyone's feeling better soon

The stray dog that we have been caring for has found a home with a greyhound lover (not in a weird sense I hope).

One dog less around the gaff is a Very Good Thing.
