Sunday

Clive is (very slowly) tiling the bathroom. We usually walk together on Sundays but we both want him to get on so Hetty and went without him.

It was a bit chilly when I left but it soon warmed up and I had a thoroughly good walk. I met lots of my dog walking pals. Hetty let me know when I had talked enough. 

She'll engage with the other dogs, then sit a stare at me and then start barking. That's usually my sign so off we go.

I wore my new walking boots. Really chuffed with them. Someone suggested wearing two pairs of socks to prevent rubbing. It worked a treat. I've given them 3 outings, walked miles and no rubbing. I didn't choose Brashers in the end but Peter Storm. £49 in the sale. Down from £140. Really pleased. They should last years. I even allowed them to get muddy today.
