A Slow Sunday!

Hi Woofers,

Daisy here! 

Well, Sundays are not normally full of movement and to be honest, this Sunday was about the same. 

Old Two Legs woke up around six thirty and after a quick shower we were out by seven and heading off towards the car park by the sea.

The clouds were grey and thick and all the way down to the sea, really boring and rubbish as far as any photography, so we left the camara in the car and OTL got the tennis ball out and we had a little game of chase.

Throughout the walk we didn't meet anyone, but there were a few sniffs worthy of investigation!

Back home OTL was playing on the computer doing something he calls 'Filing'. I didn't really understand what he was doing but it kept him quiet for two or three hours!

Just out of interest, we had a look at the pond but it was still very cloudy and no sign of any movement.

The Grey Wagtail was still darting about picking off the bugs around the edges.

We should have it all cleaned up by next week and fresh water replaced the honky sniffing mud at the bottom of pond.
 

 It's dead boring just watching OTL pounding away on the computer.

It's even worse when you fancy a walk and he is still messing about on the computer!

 Finally, we got to go out at twelve thirty and although the weather was still the same, I did manage to get some sniffs in!

You Two Legs really have no idea of the pleasure a woofer can get from a well-rounded sniff near a poo bin!

 We met up with a few visitor woofers on our way around and met up with one that looked young but the owners said he was eleven years old!

Mind you, I beat him by a couple of years!

Bye for now and we'll see you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy.

Honky Pond!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy here.

I'm not sure about you but it's been a fun Saturday here in North Kent.

It started off with us missing the sunrise and only catching the last of the morning glow.

In fact, the sun had got up and then ran off to hide in the clouds!

It was about ten minutes later that the sun was climbing over the second bank of cloud!

 It was after this that the sky was lit up and photography was a bit of a loss!

Being a Saturday means The Missus is off to the village hall for communal glue slapping so Old Two Legs and I started work on the garden pond.

Actually, it was OTL in the garden while I watched him working!

Our garden pond has been around for some time and suffers from being a sort of rubbish bin for the leaves from the tree.

After these many years the leaves have fallen into the pond, rotted down and formed a thick layer. The plants we have in there, Lilly and Reeds, have grown a root ball that is a good metre diameter.

Finally, after these many years, OTL has started to remove this root clump.

Now, it's OK to take this root clump out but it is heavy and smelly, I mean, it HONKS! It took a good ten minutes to haul the root clump out and onto the patio where, with the use of a garden spade to chop it up, he finally reduced it into lumps that were small enough to load into the compost bin for the dustbin men to take away!

Now, all this slopping about means that the root ball splashed all this honky rotten water all over OTL, so, not only does the roots honk but OTL also honks!

I think that next week we will have another go, once the water has settled down.

Such fun!

Bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy.
