This morning we are off to Alton water for a greyhound walk. Last week at Ipswich we had 58 other greyhounds and I expect there will be more today as Alton water is a favourite its so beautiful there. I know my friend Becky is bringing David the famous greyhound to it so that will attract a lot of new greyhound owners to see him in the flesh
.
Charly and Ash are off to Devon this morning. They are going down there for the week, so there will just be me and Lily here this week. It will seem very quiet without them as they are always playing practical jokes on each other and they fill the house with laughter.
I said to Charly the other day she is very lucky to have a boyfriend that owns his own place down there so they can go when they want to. Many people save hard all year for a weeks holiday there.
Lynn you must have both been tired to go to bed before casulty
, but now I come to think of it, I was watching it but can't remeber the last half of it so must have dozed off on the sofa , still I record it to in case of such eventualities
.
Very Frosty this morning but the sun is shining so hopefully that won't last long.
Have a good day all and take care.
Morning Bev glad to read you are feeling better today enjoy the day out you have lovely weather for it.
Lucky Charly and Ash hopefully you can take Ash up on the offer of that holiday you deserve one.

It will have to wait though until we get a pension coming in (and in my case, I'm beginning to doubt it ever will after having the age goalposts moved twice already).
We've had a frost down overnight so the back garden is crisp and white, but the sun is shining now and the sky is a lovely blue so I'm hoping we are in for a brilliant day.
Not sure yet whether we're going on the earlier walk or the later one, but, whichever, we'll enjoy it. We did two yesterday because the weather was so much milder. The later afternoon one was packed with people though. The nicer weather certainly brings the 'trippers' out of the woodwork. My ankle stood up really well, but I paid for it a little last night. Well worth it though
.
A body was found in the water a couple of days ago around Gibralter Point and, although it's not confirmed yet, it looks like the missing dog walker has now been found. No details as to what happened, but I do hope he didn't suffer and his family can now start the process of finding a little peace. Such a sad and tragic thing to happen and a warning to all not to walk in desolate areas alone
Rosie is still sleeping longer (YAY), but guess who is tossing and turning from the crack of dawn. Bless her, she's trained me too well now in the early rising. I need to get my body-clock adjusted
Hope you all have a lovely day and that any plans go well. Have a good 'un all and above all, stay safe!!
Morning Chris lucky you Rosie sleeping later seems we have swapped places lately with regards to Rosie and Dillon's sleeping habits.
Enjoy your walk whichever time you go.

My first job today was to walk muttley. My next job is to don the cozzie and throw myself out there in that lovely sunshine with my Kindle!
Morning Pat.
At you and the boxes not getting packed because you are sunbathing and reading you will still be in that flat next spring.

Sunday going shopping.I woke up thinking of the gang shows,and how much fun,you had all gone to bed so wrote a reply this morning keep up. When I was younger,very accident prone,also had embarressing moments,dare I ask what was yours,you have 15 seconds and this tape will self destruct .
My father was very victorian in his mindset little girls should be seen not heard,anyway I just craved to be fashionable,it was the swinging sixties,and I really wanted a psychdelic hipster skirt,so decided to make one,couldnt do all the fancy bits zip at front etc, just stitched two pieces of material,finished it off with a belt,and borrowed a pair of white boots,thought I was the bees knees,so decided to go to Baker St and walk down to meet dad he was working in London at the time.So got on the tube arrived at Baker Street,stepped out of the train,mylovely skirt got caught in the door one tug,and I was left with just my knickers and the belt,just didnt know what to do,in those days there used to be a place for the guard,so ran in there and there was a big west indian sitting there,I asked if he would help no response,so saw that he was reading a newspaper,grabbed it and flew up the stairs,my next problem was how I was going to tell dad,so I nipped into a phone box,got hold of dad,tried to explain I was half undressed,he was really angry,and told me to wait for him on the Marylebone Rd,how could i stand outside near a busy road,so stayed inthe phonebox for about half an hour,thenwent outside,it was nearly another 10 mins,well you can imagine,I was grounded until I was 21,Ihave never attempted dressmaking again crystalgirl
Morning Cg I often think my good morning sounds like Dixon of Dock Green too sometimes.
Your dad sounds a lot like my dad use to be when I was growing up.

Beautiful morning here and there has been a frost overnight so everything frosted up at the moment.
Babies full of beans this morning, rampaged into the kitchen at the speed of light, I was still giving Lona and Mabs theirs and had barely put the dishes down when babies came cavorting back wanting their brekkie and started eating Lona and Mabs, cue massive grumbles and growls which does not scare the babies anymore, ended up more or less dragging them away to give them theirs in the kitchen, and it was gone in seconds and off they went to see what Lona and Mabs had left.
Took Cariad for a walk round, loads of birds out doing the couples thing in the trees
, brought Cariad back, she had her brekkie and I am now having mine.
Nice and dry today so Ash will go to his first puppy class this afternoon, can hardly believe he didn't go to the Wednesday evening one because of the snow,and it is like spring today, my eyes are itching so a sure sign spring is on its way.
Good idea about the grass seed Helena, I may get some myself, as I have a beaten down muddy patch at the front.
Morning June sounds like the babies are really finding their confidence.
Enjoy your puppy class this afternoon we need to hear about it.

Yup, as Nechda has already said, better get duplicate suitcases packed for Gorden aks Phileas Fogg!
Kazz - glad that Sal is enjoying life again, and after you have taken her out and then finished the few little DIY jobs you have planned, would you please come and re-build my shoebox of a kitchen for me? Oh, and a few other little jobs while you are here...
Nechda - being dumped up at Devil's Dyke somehow sounds the right place for you...[ducks behind Pereg]
Bev - I am glad you feel a bit better today and hope you and Lily enjoy your walk. Charly is not just lucky to have a boyfriend that owns his own place in Devon, but that he is as lovely as Ash is.
Chris - sad about the missing dog walker but at least it will help bring closure to his family.
Sorry for ignoring everyone else - I was interrupted by three phone calls, one after t'other, so will have to catch up once I have re-heated my coffee which is now stone cold.
Enjoy the day everyone!
Morning Malka of course you are a good girl.
I hope you got that coffee reheated and drunk before anymore more disturbances.

Sun is out, snow is still around in the fields, but even here it looks like Spring might be comming thank goodness.
Looks like plan A (The good one) is comming together for Gordon now and I hope it all goes well.
I had a quick look too but being such a sensitive modest lad I decided it was safer to stay away
Don't know what our latest member (Crystalgirl) will make of it all
Morning Harvey nice to hear you have some sun too.
I am a bit to sensitive for these late nights on here too.

I enjoyed reading all the previous posts , you all sound very busy
.
I intend to spend some time on the internet today looking for a top to wear at a wedding in April. I have a charcoal grey suite with a long straight skirt which I last wore at my great nephews christening, he is now 14 and I am delighted to find it still fits perfectly
Enjoy your day everyone
Morning Mini I hope you find the blouse you are looking for.
I know I couldn't possibly fit into anything 14 years old so very well done.
Won't it be nice if this weather allows the fields and tracks to dry out for some decent walks now.

Morning Sal everything crossed you get that well deserved relaxing afternoon.
We had a lovely walk this morning we took Dillon in the car to a park near us 15 min drive away called Fishers Green its round the fishing lakes and mostly paved walk ways.
We met two boxerxstaffs I think they were the man explained his girl had just come out of season and was grumbling at ll the little dogs taking an interest in her. Dillon said hello and we moved swiftly on but he did behave impeccably. We also met two little terriers on lead who barked at him an old Red Setter who told him off and a lovely choc lab with a stick who wanted to play.
The sun was shining and it was lovely and warm too.
When we got home and Gorden got Dillon out of the car our elderly neighbour came out and Dillon decided to love his leg after ignoring the young girl staffx we had not long met just out of season.
