30.5.14 half term ends....

My easy week has come to an end... I've enjoyed the slow peace and ffffffriday is no exception ... Picked oscar up then Monty Milo and walk up to whety bridge thru village... Nice easy walk and to top it the sun was out. Next Bruce and Osric with a quick walk to rubery park... Poor Osric the grass is higher than he is, so he leaped thru !! Dropped oz back then over to minnie and a walk to quarry and little woods, short run and play, next home for mid day break, took oscar and Bruce down the canal first before I started on the garage..... It's hard work being a dog walker.. Dogs slept in car as I beavered away.. Next water the plants and Bruce and oscar woke up and joined me in garden, second walk to field via canal then back to Robert to walk Monty and Milo, now remember the fridge with the missing door... Well as it's still there the owners have decided to put a for on the tip in the hope someone takes it.... But No... Not a fridge door an internal wooden door with a home punched thru... Classy eh

29.5.14 ....at last

Finally my hopefully easier half term has an easy day... Started with oscar Monty Milo and fudge up to a drizzly cofton... It was still cold tho... Good run and play over park, saw four Alsatians, or German Shepard if politically correct.. (Don't mention the war!!... In a bail faulty voice ) easily fine next Bruce and Osric to park then poppy picked up then off to see Sid... Just a little drizzle. Council out cutting, well strimming grass... Why is it you'd never cut your grass at home if it was wet, yet council always cut the grass when it's wet ????
After dodging the flying wet grass... Sods ;-) .. Went to minnie down to park, sun came out horray . dropped Bruce back and I was done... Home with oscar for a siesta !!! Back at 3 to walk Monty and Milo then dropped oscar home ... Nice day

First trip to cofton with Monty Milo oscar and fudge.... 22 magpies, 12 pigeons 3 crow like birds 2 flying ducks and a posh bird on cofton hill..

Back to C&B and walk to bingo hall as rain continued, two more freezers dumped with motors taken out. Over to Monty and Milo after dropping Bruce back and walk to park, last job was six dogs and Micky rain dampened our play in garden...
