<\/a>Ari went swimming for the first time since we got back from holiday yesterday. He was not impressed. They all laugh at him as he is such a mummy\u2019s boy and has to have our Mistress completely in sight as he swims, even to the point where she has to walk up and down the side of the pool with him to make him move at all. I thought that was a good opportunity to bring you a photo of us both in our life jackets on the boat on holiday.<\/p>\nAfter her long(ish) cycle on Monday, my Mistress ended up doing a longer walk than she was planning with Megan yesterday. She planned to do their usual 3 mile route, but it turned out that the grass was so wet and the corn so tall and ready for picking and dripping in the morning mist, that my Mistress got thoroughly wet on the outward walk so wanted a drier route home. The only problem was that it was very misty and walking along a road where cars can whizz by at 60 and where there is no footpath, wasn\u2019t much fun. It also meant she ended up doing about 4 mile sin total. I said it would be good for her, but I said it from the comfort of the settee.<\/p>\n
