The pup has got me well trained. I only have to turn my back and she grabs either my glasses or one of the remotes. She knows that she will get a treat if she gives them up without a chase…
What have you been doing today?

Learning to trade at an early age.
Bit of time over the allotment today. Planted out some kohl rabi, dug over one of my raised beds and planted my red onions, sieved out all the nails and hinges from the ash from my bonfire and dug that bed over, harvested the last of my green, red and yellow peppers, cleaned and tidied the greenhouse, replanted some of my strawberry plants that a badger had dug up and harvested yet more tomatoes, about half of what I have left growing - in mid November! Mind you, they are still green so I’ve laid them out in the greenhouse to see if they ripen. If not, I might have a go at making some chutney with them.

Just out unfortunately. Off call today as sick of not getting called out so I am going out, out this weekend
Been down the stables shovelling shyte this morning. Filled the Fiesta with 13 sacks of the stuff. Dropped it off at the allotment, just had lunch, going back for another load now. After that, one more load and that should do me.

Taken Boo on a run in a private field. She loved it.
Doing the final bits of packing before we leave for Singapore & New Zealand for 4 weeks
Our first time out with Peggy will be in just over a weeks time. There’s a few private fenced in fields near us that dog owners can hire but she’s trained to return on the whistle and she will be with some other working cockers (that were present in the house she was born in so she should still know them) and they all tend to stick together. That’s what happened with our Susie so we are hoping for the same with Peggy. Going to be a nervous moment - if she legs it we'd have no chance of catching her - she’s like a bloody rocket!
Did just one more load today. It was okay shovelling it into sacks taking my time but another couple turned up and they were waiting for me to finish so I had to get a move on. I ran that lot over the allotment and spread it about. That’ll do for today, I’ll do another run tomorrow. Or Monday. Got home, cuppa tea, shìt shave and shower and that's me done for the day. Jim jams on. Currently relaxing on the sofa with my pup.
