Happy weekend everyone. I\u2019m looking forward to another muddy walk today. I can\u2019t believe how deep some of the mud is where we walk. Mind you, it\u2019s not as deep as the mud at the bottom of the village pond. Apparently, it needs to be dredged about every 25 years and we\u2019re at that point. Now it\u2019s been drained of water the mud is still waist deep on an adult human.  It\u2019s all being dug out so that we can have a nice clean pond again. Hopefully the ducks will appreciate their home being tidied up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wilma has taken to trying to climb trees. It\u2019s more that she\u2019s trying to catch a squirrel or two and there is a tree in the way. She really is quite determined and it wouldn\u2019t surprise me to find her next move is to get the ladder out of the garage and see if she can get it from that. Our Mistress has explained to her very clearly that chasing squirrels is not nice and it\u2019s their garden too. Wilma is unconvinced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Mistress had to move on to other concerns when the iron stopped working. Not to be thwarted she headed straight up to the loft to see if there was a spare one lying around. The good news was that there was a spare one. The bad news was that it was from when they lived in Belgium and that didn\u2019t work either. That means our Mistress has been carefully storing a broken iron in the loft for the last nine years. You really do have to worry about her. Her first job for today is to buy a new one. I did suggest that her second job should probably be to clean out the loft, but I\u2019m guessing she may have other plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a great Saturday<\/p>\n\n\n\n
