Holidays

How am I enjoying this year's dog walking holiday so far? Well, we're in the hills of North Devon so all those awful wee narrow roads with 10 foot high hedges on either side, but traffic's been light so far so I haven't met much coming the other way.

And at about 4am this morning I believe I heard the words "This is shit, I want to go home" emerge from me as I groggily got up to let the dogs out AGAIN to see if they needed to relieve themselves. This because Murphy had barked - we'd have ignored it if it was Maddie (who'd already been shouted at for trying to break down our bedroom door). Of course the dogs didn't need to go out, they just fancied a midnight (ish) perambulation round the back lawn while I stood in me PJ's trying not to get too cold and awake.

Then we left it til after today's walk to do the big supermarket shop - forgetting England has weird opening hours and everything shut at 4pm. So we ended up at KFC's for a carry out for dinner - a first for me and probably a last, too. I liked the popcorn chicken, just nothing else particularly!

On the plus side we had lovely weather today and the house is quite the nicest we've stayed in so it's mostly good. And will be better once we get a long piece of rope to attach Maddie to so she can be left in the back garden without fear of her leaping the fence and going off to find the sheep which are two fields away!
