Mum twisted my arm to get Max. At first I wasn't keen. Looking after her was a full time job and I couldn't see I'd have time to train him.
She insisted and that's how Max came into my life.
Sadly, mum passed away a year later. He's been such a good companion

Fridge freezer defrosted, washed out and turned back on to chill.
Now that's out of the way, just the big freezer to tackle.

Good Morning Bluesky
A still morning after a wet and windy night. The local weather forecast is teasing Saturday might be a dry day. Given how much rain there's been so far this year. I'm not exactly hopeful.
Have a great day everybody

On a wet afternoon. What's better than being cuddled up on the sofa with a good book and the dog

A muddy but dry morning so far. A much better start to the day than forecast. Even the sun is trying to break through the clouds.
Have a great Monday everybody

A comfortable win for England against Wales in the rugby. It's sad to see just how poor Wales' game continues to be.
I was surprised to see so many empty seats at Twickenham. I had read about poor tickets sales by WRU. I wonder if that was part of the reason behind it.

Well done to the team GB curling team. A 7-5 win over Canada.
I cannot help but admire the skill all the curling players have.

Just in from Max's walk. After yesterday's rain. The stream that run's through the village is a raging, brown torrent.
Have a great weekend everybody.

A showery morning after a night of heavy rain. Luckily I was able to walk Max between showers.
Now time to face the ironing and watch the curling at the Winter Olympics.
Have a great day everyone

The first Six Nations match is tonight. France against Ireland.
My passion for rugby started back in school. I even played for the school team as hooker. An unusual role for someone only 5'4". But I was quick on my feet and reliable in getting a ball out of a scrum.

Steady rain this morning. Hopefully it'll ease at some point this morning.
I saw this Hellebore in the garden yesterday afternoon. It's good to see the garden slowly coming back to life.

Another dry morning before several days of forecast rain. Here in North Devon we've not been affected by the heavy rain so much. Cornwall had 267.6mm of rain. Making it, it's wettest January on record.

Steady rain here this morning. I let Max out into the garden while I was dressing and he quickly shot back in. He's usually doesn't mind being out in the rain. Which probably says how unpleasant it is outside today.
Have a great Saturday everybody
