    That's certainly not the best.

    Oh how frustrating about the car.  Hope the bill isn't too big.

    Good news about the cinema being saved.  Hopefully Wilkos will find a buyer.

    Mr LH is beginning to calm down although still feels very stupid. We are still waiting for the bill so it will be at least Monday. I hope they hurry up with it a it is hanging over us at the moment. Did the dreaded ironing this morning. Fortunately not much. Carried on weeding the garden but the weeds are growing faster than I have the energy to pull them up.

    Bear out for his usual walks and Mr LH was quite strict with his pulling and he improved immeasurably quite quickly . He has admitted he isnt consistent enough so hopefully he will learn from this. Bear is nearly always very good when I take him in the morning and pulls very little unless he sees a cat or another dog gets close to him which I try to avoid although I am gradually letting him get closer to other dogs as long as I know them and how they will react.

    Money spent today £80 on fuel and stuff for the car that mr LH wanted ealier in the week but didnt get around to getting. Hopefully that will be it except for the bill for the fuel mix up. £250 sent to savings from attendance allowance. It may have be transferred back to ward the fuel mixup but I cant spend it if its away from the current account.

    Off now to put the kettle on and prepare Bears lick mat for when he gets back from his walk.

    Changeable wethertoday but it was dull enough to clean the inside of the conservatory windows at last. Beds have beeen changed and 3 loads of washing done and hung up. I dont have a dryer so no choice but stillthink of it as money saving. I also tidied a cupboard in the kitchen where stuff kept fallin out a all sorts get stuffed in it.

    Mr LH did Bears walk at lunchtime while I stayed at home (rather than getting very wet) so hoovered right through the downstairs. The vacuum cleaner was absulutely full mainly of Bears fur. He has wavy fur which looks as though he wouldnt moult but he does constantly and it is very fine so gets everywhere.

    A nice peaceful afternoon while mr LHwent balckberrying. He was out ages as he was having trouble finding ripe ones. He got a takeaway type container full and will look for more in a few days. He makes blackberry vodka with them which if he can resist drinking goes to festivals with him though strangely never comes back.

    Aggh just wrote a long message and pressed the wrong key so here goes a summary as I cant be bothered to rewrite and mr LH is waiting for the computer. Pacels for ebay posted yesterday, Bear had his off lead time today but we cut it short as it was hot.

    Bears previous owners coming to see us and Bear on Friday, Miss Ws former fostereris coming on Thursday on her way on holiday. I am at BiL tomorrow so an early start to be out of the house by 7.Expecting to be shattered by the weekend with all the socialising.
