Dead Flat!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret here!

It's good news, we can go back to work, providing you can't work from home!

Not that helps us much 'cos we work from home normally! Mind you, Old Two Legs will be out first thing on Friday to install a system that has been hanging around since the beginning of the lock down!

Well, that will keep him busy for a few hours!

Today it has been brighter although the wind is still there and as it comes in from the North Sea poor OTL ends up with his eyes watering and because of the grass pollen, he is sneezing his tail off!

Do you think OTL would like this sniff?
Lunchtime we were down the football field again and on the way to the football field both Holly and I were 'Talking' to OTL all the way and he was answering!

Not that we understood what he was saying and I don't suppose he understood exactly what we were saying but he was getting the message as we got closer to the car park!

Cloudy and windy, so, what's new?
 It seems that there are more container ships heading up the Thames, so they are delivering or collecting!

Inbound and Outward bound, all at the same time!
The insect life is still pretty scarce but we are seeing one or two butterflies. This Speckled Wood Butterfly was trying to hide in amongst the wood chips that have been put on the path to soak up the puddles when it rains. Mind you, we haven't seen any rain for some time, so that's maybe why the butterfly was feeling brave and safe among the wood chips!

It didn't hang about too long, mainly because Holly came lolloping along the path and nearly stood on the butterfly!

Back home OTL decided to load the car up ready for the early start tomorrow but couldn't get into the car 'cos the battery had gone totally flat! Of course, all the door locks were electric and there he was getting his tail in a twist trying to get in, which he did, in the end and with the help of a jump start from the little car, he was able to drive down to the garage to fill up on fuel. Then, back home to charge the battery so he can go to work tomorrow morning!

Just goes to show that the car hasn't been used for ages!

We will be waking The Missus up early for our walk, but not as early as OTL will be getting up!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.
