Dog Day Afternoon

After a couple of hours of writing, I drove through the lanes to the next village and got the biggest welcome ever from a friend's two border collies who I was dogsitting for the afternoon. 

It was fun to dodge the hailstone showers in the garden, see how close we could all sit together, practise for the synchronised head and tummy rub, which has to be added to the next Olympics, surely?! 

I may well have perfected my One-Handed-Book-Holding skills, too. (No mean feat when the book is Wolf Hall!) 

I may not have got an awful lot of work done. Okay, I got no work done! But it was good to have an afternoon off and have such great company. I really miss having a dog.
