    Another sign that our little dog is getting old, is that he didn’t bother this year with fireworks, must be getting deaf. Usually he is a quivering wreck. Years ago my dad had a dog that would sit on the step in the garden and just spend the evening watching the fireworks.x

    Hoping for a quieter night for him tonight.

    Expect there will be more this weekend though. Fingers crossed that's it until New Years after the weekend!!

    The dog had a much better night last night thank you. Managed to get him out for a short walk after work and then again before bed. He still didn't eat his dinner but at least he went out.

    Hopefully it is another quiet night for him.

    Back to work again today, the weekend is in sight.

    Breakfast was toast this morning, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is mint and garlic lamb ribs with chips, corn on the cob and grilled peppers.

    Tonight's jobs are:
    • walking the dog
    • cleaning the bathrooms
    • vacuuming the house

    Friday again. Another week flown by.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores today. Breakfast was toast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is southern fried chicken, jacket potato and coleslaw.

    No jobs tonight other than walking the dog. It is a quiet night on the sofa with a few beers and a film. We have friends over to stay tomorrow night so we had better make the most of the peace and quiet tonight!!
