And finally....

the smog has lifted and we've had some sun! It was almost warm as well. A lovely long dog walk today, Eddie has made an effort to socialise with every single dog he's seen at the park, no matter how far away he's had to run to get to them. Another heart pounding moment but with Ed's friend Bella after E went to use the toilet. Bella flew into a panic and was racing round like crazy looking for her, heading towards the gate several times with me running after her with Eddie, calling her name but I couldn't catch her. A kind lady walking through the park realised something was wrong and ran to the toilets to shout Bella's owner to be quick! In hindsight we should have put her on her lead but she's usually so engrossed stalking squirrels she's quite far away from us just occasionally checking we're there, neither of us thought she'd notice. Another lesson learnt the hard way.
An early blip for me, as I'm working this evening, these buds are just opening on the trees.
