Birthday boy

A busy morning for both of us. Gym for JR, cutting the grass, getting the washing hung out, and doing the ironing for me. Then I was persuaded to go a walk through the Hermitage - it’s by far the best place to go with a dog in this HOT weather.

A coffee and a scone were our well deserved rewards at the other end. Actually, the other two came with me in the car both ways (11,183 steps) and we dropped off a few spare doggie things at the dog charity shop. We’ve given old towels there before, so knew that they accepted things like that.

In the afternoon Hamish and his dad popped in for a visit. Archie was delighted. Hamish is very patient with Archie - check out the Extras.

It was Hamish’s 10th birthday yesterday! We gave him a new bone and told Dan how to fill it with peanut butter and freeze it to last many sessions. Dan put it in his bag and Archie spent his time (when he wasn’t following Hamish around the back garden, piddling at the same place as Hamish) trying to claw his way into the bag. Most impolite.

Out for lunch tomorrow!

Happy birthday Anne!
