Well I could have bored you with...

more train set renovation. I found the soldering iron but  the flux and solder eluded me, you'll have to await until tomorrow, or Monday when the hardware store opens... So out with the dog. This is his latest squeeze, Bella. She is a full on, in your face lively Staffy owned by a decent chap, Robert. I have never come across a dog that has such great eye contact. She has one mode - 'lunge' and weighing the same as a bag of cement I imagine she is a handful. We have had a good few walks now together with Bella and Murdo , after the initial play fighting, Murdo calms down and has become quite adept at side stepping Bella's vigorous attentions.
