Hats off

Today didn't quite turn out as I expected.

I rushed home to get out nice and sharp to head up a local hill before the light failed. Just below the summit, Breagha decided that the natural smell of dog is really improved when you add shit of deer. Especially when rubbed in down your back, chest and best of all spaniel ears. Lovely.

So after just a little shouting I got set up, only to find that classic school-boy error - No Card! You'd think after 1,000 blips I'd know all about that one.

Not to worry, Mrs T is there with her camera. But hang on. Is that the rain? You bet it is. So we quickly packed away and got under cover just in time, giving the whole thing up as a bad joke. Dog is really stinking!

So before we even had dinner, there was a hosing down in the garden, followed by a nice bath. One not very happy spaniel!

After all that - it's just me.

So hats off to Joe, G and all at blip-central, and of course to all of you for coming along for the ride.
