Thankfully I\u2019m feeling better than I was last week so I\u2019m going out later today to take on the challenge. It\u2019s not so easy at my age but I\u2019m ready to do it for Heidi. There\u2019s still chance to sponsor my efforts and I\u2019ll bring you some photographs tomorrow.

She has had to break hers into two parts as it was very tiring for her and she\u2019s doing the rest today. Dogs also set out in London, Berkshire, Bristol and Bedford and walked the first hundred miles of the 552 mile journey. There are more walks today including mine. You can read about where the walks yesterday took the challenge to <a href=\"http:\/\/entlebucher.co.uk\/club\/walk-for-heidi-update-7th-october\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s the last day of peace and quiet at home for a while. Our Mistress finally seems well enough to collect Wilma and Aristotle from kennels. Hopefully she can now start building up some strength by taking them on their walks for Heidi too. I have to say that after a shaky start, I have got quite used to being able to relax with no other dogs to bother me, so it is going to be a bit of a shock to the system, but I know our Mistress is looking forward to them being home. On the bright side, it will mean I don\u2019t have to work every day and I can hand some of the writing back to the rest of the team. Aristotle is in for a shock as his favourite chair has gone to the tip in his absence. I really don\u2019t know what he\u2019s going to say about it, but it isn\u2019t going to be good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m going out to do some stretching exercises ready for my walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wish me luck<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alfie<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find short stories to read at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.alfiedog.com\/\">www.alfiedog.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alfie\u2019s Diary \u2013 the Book as well as our other books are available&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/s\/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=rosemary%20j%20kind\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Well today\u2019s post must start with a thank you to Jen who has taken me up on the challenge to sponsor me \u00a310 to walk <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/2017\/10\/08\/sunday-8th-october-2017-thank-you-jen\/\" title=\"Sunday 8th October 2017 &#8211; Thank you, Jen\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14787,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,5],"tags":[109,63,50,27,43,93],"class_list":["post-13716","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-day-to-day-life","category-wisdom-and-experience","tag-alfie","tag-aristotle","tag-entlebucher","tag-shadow","tag-switzerland","tag-wilma","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13716","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13716"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13716\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14787"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13716"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13716"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13716"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
