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

It's a dark and wet morning. Max took a bit of persuading to go out for his walk.
Have a great day everybody

On Armistice Day I always think of my great grandfather.
To escape poverty. He lied about his age and joined the Royal Marines as a gunner. At aged 16 he took part in the Relief of Peking. He was recalled from naval reserve to serve in WW1 and was a warden in WW2.

It's my annual attempt at trying to grow a moustache as part of Movember.
Each year I'm reminded that
a. I struggle to get anything decent grow on my top lip.
b. How grey I've become.
More importantly, it's a reminder for all us chaps not to ignore our health.

It's a drab looking morning. The only up side is there's no sign of the heavy rain that was forecast. Now I've sai that. It'll probably start in the next hour!
Have a great Monday everybody

On this Rememberance Sunday, let us pause and give thanks to all the military and civilian servicemen and women. Who have served in the many conflicts our country has faced.

There's a misty autumnal look to the morning today. The forecast says heavy rain is due later. So I better get Max walked before it starts.
Have a great Friday everybody

Max's check up went well. He was sulky afterwards, but playing ball almost non-stop for an hour cheered him up.
Have a great day everybody.

Dull and wet. I'm taking Max to the vet later for a six monthly check up. No doubt he will be sulking all afternoon.
Have a great Tuesday everyone.

I thought I’d try my hand at chocolate chilli cookies. I was pretty sure I got the portions right. So was surprised to see how large they turned out

I'm dropping my brother and his family off at the station later. They're off to Bali for a couple of weeks. I wouldn't mind a few weeks away myself.
Have a great Monday everybody.
