Lola

The look says it all. All she wants to do all day long is play fetch. As I sit here blipping the orange toy is at my feet. She has now reappeared with a ball, repeatedly dropping it at my feet.
We had a lovely walk on the heath, orange toy, plus chunks of carrot in my pocket. Orange toy to wear Lola out (I wish), carrot tempt Bob to complete our exercise lap. The things you have to do. He moves like lightning when there is promise of a dental chew. Rascal!
Dogs exercised I walked to Mum's, did a couple of hours gardening, including pruning a vicious pyracantha. A brute, a job for the loppers. A few jobs done which will hopefully make my life a little easier in future. A coffee plus slice of lemon drizzle cake with clotted cream with Mum, then back to the dogs. Half an hour of ball fetching, then off to garden for George & Jean for 3 hours. A swallow whooshed by as I left CK in the car. The first of 2022. It'll have a shock next week when the temps drop as forecast. They are both very excited as their daughter arrives from France tomorrow to spend 10 days with them. They've not seen her for 2 years due to the Covid travel restrictions. A hen blackbird followed me around the garden collecting worms... THAT is early. :-(
Back to the mutts, who are now both reclining on sofas while I quaff my cider.
Dinner? I think it will be something quick & easy.
