Wet and Windy, it must be Spring!

 Hello Woofers.

Daisy back with you again.

It's been a bit like Scottish Weather, you know, if you don't like the weather, hang on for an hour and it'll change!

Today I reckon we have had all four seasons in one day today!

It all started off with clear blue skies, windy, but clear skies.

Morning on the mud flats!

Well, OK, there was a little Fiddly Diddly but only a little!


It got better as we walked along the top path and OTL set the camera knobs back to his 'Standard' settings!

It was still windy but at least the sun was out, good Spring Weather.

I'm lucky, unlike Archie Babe, I don't get a wash and splosh every five minutes, my hair takes a bit longer to grow and I don't get grubby rolling around in fox poo and muddy puddles.

However, OTL has promised me a bath before we go on holiday.

Lunchtime we were down the sea wall again but this time we went backwards to our normal way around. That is, we went first into the forest 'cos it was a bit windy and by going through the forest that stopped all the wind, it was just like Summer!

It was only the tops of the trees that were waving about in the wind!

We climbed up over the pathway and saw all the Slippy Cows being blown about, even though is was a clear blue sky.

OTL says we get that weather in Autumn Time!

I think there is more Slippies this year that last year.

Once we climbed up and over the top of the hill the wind cam blasting in off the sea. What with the sea crashing over the sea wall and the wind blasting the spray over us, it was just like a Winters Day!


Of course, OTL just had to take us down into the spray but we didn't stay long, salt water and cameras don't mix!

Friday tomorrow, then the weekend. TM will be spending Saturday up the village hall with her mates and OTL has promised me a walk down the old forest that Holly and I used to find all the squirrels!

You know, I could just fancy a squirrel pie!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy.

Hello Woofers!

Daisy here.

What a strange day it's been, all this weather!

I got OTL up early, expecting thanks from him and TM, you know, a nice early start to the day. What did I get? TM was grumbling because she didn't want to get up and OTL seemed to sink under the duvet!

 I do try you know!

Well, I got him up and down the sea front but the sun was up, so no sunrise!

Not too sure about this view, what it needed is a big ship on the horizon!

To vary it a bit OTL tried the mud flats with a sun reflection.

I don't think this is any better!

We let the sun get on with it and carried on up the hill towards the forest.

Just as we got to the top of hill, I spotted my mate Devo!

I rushed down the steps and we had a little game of chase and a sniff.


I'm off to breakfast, see you tomorrow!

Back home TM settled down to make another video about glue slapping. I must admit, I really don't get excited about glue slapping!

Lunchtime, down on the sea front, the wind was blowing off the sea onto the land. This means there are white horses on the waves and look spectacular as they crash on the sea wall!

I don't fancy going in for a swim in that lot!


You can see how much the mud is mixed up when the waves crash onto the sea wall.

I stayed up on the sea wall until we met a couple of woofers I've seen before and OTL gave them both a stroke and a tickle on the tail.

I jumped down onto the sea wall so I don't have to get close to them in case they woof at me.

That means I had to jump down onto the sea wall and keep away from the crashing waves!

Who is that up there and do I know them?

We had a power cut this afternoon and as we didn't have the lights on, we nearly didn't write this blog today!

After an hour or so it came back on and I'm here to finish the blog in time to upload!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy.

Have you ever tried to change you phone contract?

 Hello Woofers.

Daisy Here!

Today has been cloudy, cold and rainy, but we have a tale to tell!

OTL, like every Two Legs in the world, has a mobile phone and was used for business purposes over the years he has been working for himself, until of late. Working from home everything is now done by email or land line telephone.

Being an astute sort of woofer, he has worked out that he doesn't need the Pay Monthly contract and it will be an advantage if he switched to Pay as you Go.

That is where the problems start!

He gets onto the phone companies web site only to find there is no 'I want to change' button so, after much searching, he finds a phone number to ring. At last, a human voice! 'Please I want to change my contract' 

Sorry, we can’t change you over 'cos we can't find your account.

Can't find me? You can soon find me to take my thirty odd pounds each month!

You need to contact out Business Team, we will get them to phone you on Monday.

Monday comes, no call.

Phone telephone company, what you need to do is to get to a Phone Shop and get them to change it over, but here is your VCN number.

Find a shop and call in, 'Can you change this over?'

No, you need to go to a competitor’s shop, take out a Pay as you Go, sim only contract, then transfer your number over using the VCN number.

Six shops up the road is the competition, buy a sim, change it over and after twenty-four hours it all clicks into place.

Now what you have above is an edited version of the telephone calls, live contacts via the keyboard. 

You know, OTL says that with all this messing about, it would have been quicker to write a letter and shove it in the post box!

Just don't send the letter to the phone company!

It's exhausting all this technical stuff!

Luv,

Daisy
