Pain levels are still the same.
Oh and I have caught some virus - a kind of cold I guess, the throat is not the best. I never normally get ill and this is the second I have had in six months, so not impressed!
I finished 'The Outrun' I wish I could remember which blog I read who recommended it, so could say thanks as I really enjoyed it, but I can't seem to find the post among the blogs I read regularly. Strange as I was sure I knew who did recommend it. Anyway in the off chance they may read this (I don't think my readership is especially high), thank you.
Beautifully written, I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the nature and wildlife on the islands. A completely different book from what I normally read, but very lyrical and gentle in many ways, despite the gritty subject matter cleverly interwoven throughout the book.
I can't believe this is the only photo I have taken so far of the garden this year! Mind you it could be something to do with the fact the garden just looks a mess at the moment!
Stanley is growing up fast and is quite the character and he just loves being outside and getting into mischief!
One month today I will be home in New Zealand again and I am looking forward to seeing my family. A year between visits is way too long, but then so is the journey, and at least I am able to get back. I am certainly looking forward to some warmer weather!
A cute dog, he has a gorgeous face. We are usually planning the garden and looking at seed catalogues by now, put on hold due to moving. You certainly have a lot to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Stanley is a love.
DeleteI have to put my planning of the garden on hold until I come back from NZ, but this year it will just be about tidying it up and not planting.
Stanley looks SO innocent. He's pretending he never gets into mischief.
ReplyDeleteNice that you have your upcoming trip back to visit your family to look forward to.
Ha ha, you are so right! He 'never' gets into mischief...at least that is what he claims.
DeleteWhat a gorgoeus new baby! Back to your shelties?
ReplyDeleteThank you Marina, yes after losing Pirate, we just couldn't jump straight back in, and fortunately had little Percy to get us through it, but earlier this year my Aunt had a litter of which Stanley was the only dog, and well it just had to be ;-)
DeleteA new fur baby brings a lot of joy, and things to do!
