Well it\u2019s definitely spring and slurry\u2019s in the air. Yesterday\nwas not a day for spending large amounts of time in the garden. They were\neither spreading the slurry in the field opposite the house or the wind was\nblowing in an unfortunate direction. Even I didn\u2019t think it smelled good out\nthere and that really is saying something. This is one of the downsides of\nliving in a real village. Oh don\u2019t get me wrong, the upsides far outweigh the\nprice. Yesterday we also had to endure Shadow barking excitedly as the local\nwildlife population had moved into the front garden. We had a rather grand\nlooking male pheasant and a pair of red-legged partridges strutting around the\ngarden and helping themselves to food at the bird table. Shadow was beside\nherself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We went off to swimming and Shadow was telling me all\nabout how she could have brought that pheasant in without any problem. Then we got\nhome and the pheasant had gone but there were a pair of ducks in the garden. Oh\nyou should have heard her asking to be let out of the car to get to them. She\nreally does need to relax more. It was the same while we were actually at\nswimming. She was under the impression she needed to be on guard while I swam.\nEvery time my hydrotherapist clapped to encourage me, Shadow was on her feet\nasking where the problem was. Our Mistress had an awful job persuading her to\nbe calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wilma was happy because she made a new friend on her walk.\nShe had a great time trying to get a slightly confused terrier to chase her.\nThe terrier\u2019s owner was concerned about the terrier\u2019s behaviour but she had\nnothing to worry about and Wilma can look after herself anyway. Our Mistress\nhad taken the ball thrower but the farmers were working where she was going to\nuse it so Wilma will have to wait for that pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have a great Wednesday<\/p>\n\n\n\n
