Dougal visits!

This morning, after the gym, JR got up on the ladder and tidied up the top of the hedge where I'd missed a few bits. I then went round the sides with the pruners. Slow, but easy, while listening to a podcast. 

But first thing I gave Archie a haircut. I've been putting it off, trimming his legs and tummy, hope that would suffice for a bit longer. But his hair goes really coarse and unsightly brown patches appear - he now looks so handsome, with his soft new coat shining silver in the sunshine.

Dougal came to visit for the afternoon, his mum was out gallivanting. I took the doggies out for a walk round the Links. Not the easiest operation, two leads, with two doddling, sniffing, piddling dogs, and a walking stick. In the Links, I let Archie off the lead, so that was easier. Couldn't let Dougal off, he'd run off home in a flash, I'm sure.

Back home and we all watched Flog It, with me flat out on the sofa, and Dougal flat out on top of me. He was a very good boy, and didn't cry this time.

I really need make a start on my packing tomorrow... Only two days to go!!!
