Day Three

We returned from Helen's house this lunchtime and were greeted almost immediately by our friends The Pickens come to wish us a happy new year. After a quick lunch it was dog walking time for Tilly and the Picken's dog Tess (a Labradoodle). Colin and I were left in charge of putting up the new blind that Helen had made for us while the girls walked the dogs. After about an hour the phone rang, "can you bring the car to the top of the lane Tilly has cut her leg." This did not sound good. Indeed it was not good as Tilly does not suffer cuts well, as any Lurcher or Greyhound owner will appreciate. It was off to the vets for some staples and dressing of wounds, luckily no general anaesthetic was required. Tilly spent the rest of the day with her legs up on my sofa. Meantime its off to the log pile with number two son for some chainsaw action to chop some more logs for our burner, the heart of the home. Its very satisfying chopping your own logs, very Davy Crockett. A couple of whiskeys and its time for bed, back to work tomorrow.
