    Our dog is the same when she’s had a bath and she’s 11. Once a puppy always a puppy 😆

    What makes me laugh is you freshening the dog up to visit your neighbour's house lol. Have a good one!

    Definitely not a no spends day today. We are heading to the farm shop to stock up the fridge and heading into town to the tailors and to pick up a new hose pipe, ours has sprung a leak too many. Can't complain though,  we have had it 17 years 🤣🤣🤣

    Breakfast is scrambled eggs on toast. I think we will nip to the cafe at the local woods for a pork sandwich at lunchtime. We are at the neighbours for dinner tonight. Think they mentioned a chilli.

    We need to get out and walk the dog as well.

    Would you believe we have failed to find a hose pipe? Looks like being am online purchase!

    We have certainly got our steps in today. 20k so far. The dog enjoyed himself in the woods and then we had a very nice lunch in the cafe there.



    I'm hoping that the washing on the line has dried when we get home.
  • Our last hosepipe was from B&Q. It’s one that pulls out from a reel and then retracts itself. It’s very clever..

    Even the local B&Q didn't have any today 😕

    We will find one I'm sure. Will just have to wash the car tomorrow with the leaky one 😁

    Enjoy your evening with neighbours. Are these the ones who are a bad influence on the alcohol front 😆

    They are our next door neighbours. 

    These are the ones opposite us but I'm fairly certain they will be equally as bad an influence 🤣🤣🤣
