It's Elsie's gotcha day, one year since we collected her from Dogs Trust Shrewsbury. It's been a year of steady change as she's grown into being a proper German Shepherd.

We have landed. Cottage lovely if a little overstyled, but more than adequate for our needs and will be great for when OH can come up with us.

My dad sings in an incredible semi-professional choir in Portland and I’ve heard them sing this so many times and I cannot tell you how jealous I am that I don’t get to be one of the voices you never hear but you couldn’t live without who makes this sound possible

Trying to work out why the dog smells funny, I've recognised sage, that means my salvia pots have had 32kg of German Shepherd rampaging across them. <sigh>

only in the small print of this article do they make clear that the pensioners paying an extra £2,500 of tax would have to have
“earnings over £125,140”
I know many pensioners are asset rich but how many have income at that level?

Come in from the dogwalk, one where I was very smug at Elsie completely ignoring two noisy fighty dashunds that objected to us sitting at the opposite end of the town square, to find the house reeking of cider fermentation farts so the doors and windows are all open.

Right, I've been for an hours walk, done some online puzzles and I have an excellent brew, so my brain should be sufficiently primed and ready to take on The Knitting.

Nice work Yodel, delivering 14kg of dog food to a door that isn't mine and no, I'm not going to check with my neighbours because I've no intention of randomly driving around the lanes hoping to spot someone struggling to get in their front door over the huge box now blocking it.

Another they don't show this on #EscapeToTheCountry. OH rings me from his car, there's a recently dead big buck rabbit on the road immediately outside our gate and the bin wagon has just run over it and exploded it's inners all over the drive, can you sort it.
Happy Monday all.

Met a friend on our riverside walk through town just, and in chatting walking with him on his way to meet his wife in the pub we ended up adding a bit extra to the walk. Elsie is now spark out, unless someone opens the fridge door.
