I went for a 5.5 mile run this morning - it was warm. then me and beth took dougal down to the vet for his jags...with no car, we had to carry him in his box. what a carry on! we were sweating by the time we got him back and he was panting with his mouth wide open like a lion.

went to peggy's sports day and missed most of the potted sports, so enjoyed the races. peggy got two third places. the kids always chant for the teachers to do a race at the end, and they always ignore them. they should just go for it, such spoil sports.

peggy was desperate to get up to the park after tea to meet her pals at the fair, but it can be pretty rowdy on meldrum sports weekend so we went up with her. it was funny to watch beefy and her on the spinny thing - shrieking away, the two of them.

it's such a lovely summery night tonight...we sat in front of the chimnea while dougal ate moths and daisy wrestled baby mice from his jaws. beth was working, it was busy up at 'the garth'.
