I have decided that I think it is safe – as much as anything is these days – to venture out of Dora Road for a dog walk, maybe twice a week. Scrumpy dog is I'm sure utterly delighted to be seeing Mummy out again, as am I because it feels very odd to suddenly not walk her, when I'm very used to doing it 6-7 times a week. And it is such a pleasure to watch her still beavering around, without a care in the world.
The only downside of the better weather being that the water channels everywhere on the common are rapidly drying up – leading to major bits of 'black dog'.. Yesterday's very-end-of-the-walk-oh-god-we-didn't-pack-a-towel delight below..
I've also been busy sorting out the delightfully rusty garden furniture – 2 cans of Weatherite from Amazon later and ta da – black seats to sit on (and hopefully not transfer onto seat of shorts).
All of which of course merits a daily treat – talk about an 80's throwback – very much enjoyed the Fab box of lollies in this week's food delivery! Loving the blue skies and our terrace…
