Just met Leo, the Greyhound in his 'wheelchair' again.

The owner was buying some mince for him.

I'll have to get a photo next time.

Reminds me of the time Cassie met a 3 legged greyhound. She's pretty fast, but she couldn't keep up. The greyhound was obviously enjoying life.

Morning from a snow covered Numpton, don't think it's snowing now

Snowing here, but the ground is so wet it can't last long. This was between 7 & 8 this morning on the squirrel hunting walk:

Yesterday and this morning the snow was really only play at it. Now it's really snowing starting to stick in placers the afternoon dog walk will be fun.

I'm now jealous of those of you who have snow laying. We're back to grey and damp and raw.

You are quite welcome to the snow, our trip out to lunch has been postponed, I'm unlikely to be able to push a wheelchair round to the cafe in this.

In part I think it depends on the teacher. I hated woodwork and the teacher hated all academic types like me.
OTOH I liked the gym. I was useless at football but I could run well up to middle distance and was ok at any gymnastics and basketball was a speciality. As team leader my teams nearly always won.

When I learned cabinet making I discovered that woodwork is much more enjoyable if the saw actually cuts wood.

On the other hand, in my school basketball was a contact sport and rugby was tribal warfare. All the sports teachers were pretty nasty too.

Ironically my son is about to become a teacher, his subjects are sports and Maths.

Only an hour left until the start of my weekend. I do wish it would stop raining as I have to take the car to Ipswich ready for its MOT & service tomorrow, but I've got to either bike the 7 miles back home into the wind & rain or a couple of miles to the nearest rail station.

Tomorrow's return trip to collect the car isn't looking too good either.

A soggy and cold day here chez Casa Reynard. The snow we had last night has melted and now it's just raining.

Slept really well and I've had a quiet morning working on the writing. I came up with the back half of a poem the other night, and I'm now trying to come up with a front half that makes sense and keeps the same metre. I shall have a quiet afternoon either working on that, or working on my archive. I will also have to decant that cat litter into the large pedal bin kept for that purpose, and I have a hand-knitted sock that needs darning on the instep.

I did not bother putting the blue recycling bin out for collection last night. There's not much in there. I no longer have a steady supply of the Daily Wail from a neighbour's bin (he's now in residential care), so all the paper and light gauge card gets kept to light the fire.

Anyways, it is now time for luncheon.

A previous dog, terrier/poodle cross, we used to think of as white, until it went out in the snow.

Snow has all gone here.
