Good afternoon all. I've abandoned the gym this week - it's far too hot in there - so Billy's been treated to very early, very long walks. We've been out before 7am each day and it's been lovely, it's still flippin' warm at that time though. He's not enjoying the heat at all, he can mostly be found lying on the tiles in the kitchen. John's not been able to join us for his night time walks, which I've been leaving until late too, because his shoulder hurts when he walks so I've been a big brave girl and walked him over the common by myself. I have to keep an eye on the time though because we walk and walk and I suddenly realise that the sun is about to fully set and we'd better get home before it gets dark
I think I can be pretty confident that Billy would protect me if needs be though. He and I were walking back the other night and walked past a gang of teenagers and one of them asked what his name was so he called him over by his name and Billy ran around the edge of them, growling, and then stood a few yards away looking very alert, barking at them. So strange because he's never reacted like that before, he must've sensed something he didn't like. He usually wants to be everyone's friend. Don't forget that this is the dog who was jumping for joy when a strange man walked into our back garden (not strange to me, a work colleague of John's who was dropping something off) - Bill was alone in the kitchen when Gordon walked through the gate and I went in to see what the commotion was, I could hear chairs scraping across the floor as he knocked them in his excitement
Shopping tonight. I've been over to McColls for a couple of Daily Mirrors as the Aldi £5 off vouchers are in today and I can use one this week and one next. Had a bargain with the papers too - the assistant signed me up for a McColls loyalty card and instead of the papers costing £1.10 they cost a total of 60p
Have a good day all!
Hopefully the cortisone cream will help you because it really isn't pleasant.
Ho hum.
