I think I was born to be an aunty, I love my friends and families children, but just not for me! So I think being a pet parent/aunty/uncle etc is very similar, you can get all the loves and fun, with little to no responsibilities! I have three dogs, two guineas and a chicken, they are all wonderful and I love them, but they are costly and a lot of responsibility, haha. I have friends who like to come round to enjoy the animals, and go home after full of the love they give. 

Do you wild swim? 

I am liking this aunty idea, and it kinda feels like that is the current state of play, although I'm not offering to take any pets for holiday cover, I think friendships would be wrecked as I would be the aunty that let's them away with murder :-:wink:

I do open water swimming yep, not been swimming for the past few weeks and I've missed it, need to get back to it 

Damn! Here was me thinking I could drop madam off with you😂

Madam would have a field day at her aunty El's ... although I dont have any giraffes or roadkill's for madam to play with

Haha, thats the beauty of the aunty role, encourage the wild behaviours as there are no consequences to us!haha.  Hope work and PPE have been a little better since the heatwave eased!

Wild swimming sounds good. 

I should probably book to go to a local outdoor pool again. I enjoyed it last time.

well another day in the heavy ppe done, the two days I have been in have been SHTF days/situations, the one good thing is it gets me up to speed again, so whilst not a good thing it is helpful for getting back into the swing of things for skills which are so quick to disappear especially when it's new equipment being used. 

Tomorrow even though I will possibly be done in I am going to go for a walk with a certain spice girl, we are going for a swim as well ... i am so looking forward to it, exactly what i need
