Where are we going?
It turned out to be rather wet and horrid by the end of the day – and we had all hoped to go out on a little walk when Caz had finished work. Instead, she told us about our holiday in September, when she is going to take me and Leo to the Outer Hebrides in Scotland. So we got the maps out and had a good look at the places we will visit. Leo was being very optimistic wearing his shades, he is a silly lion sometimes!
I found a quiet spot to sit
I went out with Caz again today as she had a meeting at lunchtime in a local College. They have very nice gardens there, so I spent the time wandering around looking at the plants and things. I found this lovely pond and thought I would sit on a lilypad and wait for Froggy to turn up for a chat, but I think he was probably busy elsewhere doing froggy business. Never mind, it was a quiet spot to sit and enjoy the scenery.
These are lovely shapes
I was a bit bored at home today, so I went in search of pretty purple things around the house. Look what I found! These are amethyst crystals I found in Caz’s rock collection. They are rather nice, and go with my colouring very well.
What a pretty colour
Caz was very busy at work today, so I was very good and kept out of her way during the day. In the evening, when it was nice and cool, she took me on a little walk in the fields nearby.
We saw lots of wheat which is looking ready for harvest – I’m looking forward to eating more Weetabix soon! We also saw these pretty poppies which seem to grow at the edge of the fields, so I thought I would have my picture taken with the flowers.
Time to chill in the garden
It was very hot again today, so Leo and me decided to chill at home. We have had some very busy weekends recently, and although we had a great time, it is also nice to spend some time just relaxing.
We sat in the garden and cooked some lovely bangers and eggs on the barbeque – at least, I hope Leo is keeping an eye on them from behind his silly sunglasses – there’s nothing worse than burnt saussies!
It is very shiny
Today we had fun at the local village fête – there were stalls with candyfloss, ice cream and arty-crafty things for sale. And we saw a dog display team from Wales and a big marching band who palyed lots of nice tunes as they walked up and down. But my favourite was the big red fire engine which was on display and you could go and play with it.
At first, I was a bit nervous as I thought the firemen would want to put out my fire, but I had a chat with them and they were very friendly. They realised that I was another professional who deals with fire every day, and thought I was more than capable of keeping it under control. Here you can see me sitting on the front bumper of their enormous tender.
These are a bit long
Caz was very busy today and we didn’t go out until late in the evening, to get some yummy Chinese food. I got to have a portion of my own. But I really think I need to find some dragon-sized chopsticks!
