Before the rains

Obviously I leave things far too late and the garden path I should have organised in June is still missing meaning the journey to work is through some kind of swamp. And my office and the kitchen at either end of the swamp are like swamp feeding areas.

I worked in the house today and started training Rosie to wipe her feet when she comes in.

And then we went to puppy school, Will, Rosie and I. It was good fun, lots of funny, bouncy puppies. Will and I were very proud that our dog wasn't the one to do a big poo or run round like a mad thing instead of straight back to us.

After all that fun I decided that actually the fireworks could happen without us seeing them tonight.
