Loads a Paper!

Hi there Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret back again!

You know, I'm sure that the weather man was forecasting loads of rain blowing in from the west but other than a shower early this morning there has only been that horrid misty rain today and not much of that!

Both Holly and I have got grumbly tums, well the start anyway. We were eating so much grass this morning that Old Two Legs said we were changing into sheep!

Baaa!

OTL got a load of paperwork files from the accountant fella and has been sorting it out. It seems that he must keep all records and paperwork for seven years before he is allowed to rubbish it all.

So, this morning he has been digging out all the files older than 2005 and run them through the paper shredder. When he finished, around five thirty, he had filled seven plastic bags!

Now, if the dump will open he will be able to get rid of all the XL Files and a load of metal and electronic stuff that includes Li-Ion batteries!

There were not so many Two Legs on the beach today, maybe it's because they listened to the weather man as well and decided to stay at home!

Mind you, we did see a new sign!

Wot about a wee, can we leave a wee?

Although it was cloudy, it wasn't cold at all, in fact quiet mild but that didn't stop the clouds from looking dark and foreboding!

Well, it certainly looks like rain!

Even looking back towards Southend on Sea, it still looked like it would soon rain!

Fish an Chips an Kebabs but no rain!

We got to the bench and Holly decided she would have a rest under the bench, just in case it started to rain but it stayed dry all the while!

Well, it could rain!

I think that we could have a shampoo and a hair cut this weekend cos I've seen OTL oiling the electric shears and inspecting the brush and comb, not a good sign!

Still, we have got tomorrow!

Bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Bit of a Boring day!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret back again!

What a day we have had. I mean, when you take a woofer for a walk it is supposed to be fun and full of sniffs and stuff. Well, there we were first thing this morning getting all done up in our rain gear, you know, the coat that doesn't fit properly and has elastic straps to keep the coat from riding up your backside, only our straps are a little streached and end up being wee'd on!

Not the best start to the day!

Lunchtime was a little better. There we were, kicking the back of Old Two Legs chair to tell him we wantted to go out and him saying that we can't go yet cos The Missus wants to use the car.

Stuff that says Holly, if we don't go out soon we will use the car and you will have to wash poo out of the carpet!

OTL sort of saw our reasoning and off we went!

He had the close up lens today and spotted the first Soldier Beetle this year, so he took a picture and it was only when he got home he spotted there were more that one insect in the picture, how many can you see?

Hint.....4

A bit further on we came across the last few bits of a seagull that had been eaten and other than a few feathers, one leg and half a wing, there was nothing left, however, a couple of feet away there was a Flesh Fly sitting on a leaf washing it's face!

Flesh Fly!

As we passed he called out that he had just finished a good meal and would be back later with his mates for a bit more!

As Holly says, 'Whatever turns you on!'

We didn't meet any other woofers on the walk and didn't find any new sniffs!

I'll race you back to the car!

Back home TM pinched the car, went off out, found the shops shut and came home with nothing!

I mean, wot a waste of time and petrol!

OTL fell asleep after lunch and we jumped up on the recliner chair with him and we all had a snoozy cuddle!

Like, is there a better way to spend an afternoon?

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Caravan Confusion!

Hi Woofers!

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

Now, you know that we were expecting the caravan mender man to give the van it's yearly service.

This is a new man Old Two Legs has found cos the one that used to  service the caravan has retired!

Anyway, he turns up this morning and does a double take saying that he won't have enough time to service a twin axle caravan as he was expecting a single axle van!

So, a new date was made and came in mumbling something service engineers and their inability to read their own writing!

Now, that looks better!

With the big camera and the close up lens flowers looked better especially the Wild Sweet Pea flowers.

That looks nice!

 It would have been better if the wind wasn't blowing the blooms all over the place!

Mind you, we found a couple of butterflies making eggs and of course hanging onto the grass for dear life!

Making Butterfly Eggs!

 Holly thought that yesterday's picture of her looked good and she stopped in the same place, just where the sun landed!

Do I look good in the sunlight or wot!

 We have been watching the Flogs in the pond and they are getting bigger. There are some that we have seen wandering around the garden looking for food. I reckon there is a load more in amongst the undergrowth and under the fence into next door.

OTL reckons he will have to clear the pond of rubbish on the bottom of the pond and he will have to put a new liner in cos at the moment there looks like a leak has sprung and the pond will only stay half full, or is that half empty?

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

We love Monday's!

Hello Woofers!

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

After a good weekend full of rain and wind there is nothing so good as a cloudy Monday!

No rain today but plenty of clouds.

We were out first thing this morning and met up with that big bozo from next door. All he wanted to do was to snuggle up to Old Two Legs, didn't even want a sociable sniff with Holly or I!

It was the same at lunchtime. We met up with Jasper who decided to say hello to OTL but in the end joined Holly and I in a sniff!

OTL was more interested in photographing flowers and stuff like that!

Can't remember this flowers name, Holly calls it a Fairy Trumpet!

 There was a pretty patch of Wild Sweet Pea and instead of zooming in close up to a blosom, he decided to look at the whole patch. Personally, I would have liked it better if he got close up to the bloom!

I'm sure there's insects in there but we just can't see them!

 This is a good one, OTL was crouching down looking at this and at the same time he poked a grass stalk into the web. A big spider came rushing out thinking it had caught a big juicy fly but all he saw was OTL!

That scared the pants off her!

That fly is too big I'm staying here until it goes away!

 OTL brushed the camera against his leg and took this one!

Holly framed in 'Foliage'!

 As we were walking along the path out of the forest we saw a couple of butterflies charging about and OTL waited until they landed before running off these shots.

Don't tread on me I'm only a little butterfly!

 This one was resting on a blackberry bush after having a mid air punch up with another butterfly!

This mating lark wears you out!

Tomorrow we have a man coming to give the caravan a service in time for when we head off to Scotland for our autumn holiday. We missed out on our Spring Holiday because the campsites were all on shutdown. Let's hope that the weather is warm so I can go in swimming in the sea and in the river besides the camp site!

Claws crossed!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

F1 and Windy Walks!

Hi Woofers!

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

We have had some strong winds down here. The trees have been bending over all day, us woofers have been blown all over the place!

We went out at our normal time this morning and got blown all over the field. Having a wee was dangerous, the wind kept blowing it over our leg!

Old Two Legs had a job washing our legs when we got home!

Once we were back and after the ferrets had finished rampaging around the house, young Eric decided that he wanted to go out for a walk, so, once he had almost rattled the cage door off it's hinges, OTL decided Eric could go out for a walk as well.

We got to the edge of the football field and were met by some Two Legs and Mini Two Legs who wanted to give him a stroke and take his picture!

You just can't take him anywhere without TL's wanting to tickle his ear or take his photo, show off!

Lunchtime it was still blowing hard down on the sea front and the rig was still moored up at Sheerness!

Not going nowhere yet!

 Once we were into the forest and down near that Buddleia Tree, OTL saw a couple of butterflies having a rest, so, out comes his camera and he runs off a couple of shots.

Isn't it rude to poke your tongue out?

OTL says he was thinking of putting the moth trap out tonight but we think there maybe some rain, but wet rain and electricity don't mix!

No, I will not 'smile for the camera!'

OTL was going to take out his big camera today but because of the wind, decided there won't be too many butterflies or insects but it just goes to show even he can be wrong sometimes!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Snoozy Saturday.

Hello Woofers!

It's the Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret show!

What a dreary old day it's been, we haven't seen the sun all day. Old Two Legs was late in getting up this morning so we had to get The Missus to take us out for our morning walk around the field!

I mean, OTL was being lazy by staying in bed a whole hour longer than normal!

While we were snoozing on the bed OTL was cleaning the cage out and afterwards played a game of 'Chase' with Eric.

OTL would squeeze the squeaky ball then throw it down the hallway for Eric to chase and retrieve and then for OTL to throw again and sometimes the ball would go down the stairs!

Eric thinks this is one of the best games and Dooks his tail off as he runs backwards and forwards! 

Lunchtime we headed off to the sea wall, the weather not getting any better.

Dismal or wot?

 We stopped at the bench and found a Duck Poo on the bench, I mean, at least OTL cleans up our poo but these ducks are so lazy!

Not the best smelling poo I've seen!

 One of the wild flower bushes was bright with flowers but there were no insects on it, just flowers!

Not a creepy-crawly to be seen anywhere!

 Down on the buddleia tree there were a few butterflies but all the same breed. The buddleia looked more interesting than the butterflies, the way it curled up and over as the flowers grew.

Maybe tomorrow we will bring the close up lens for a better shot!

 We recorded the F1 racing on the TV this afternoon, so I reckon we will be watching that tonight, well, it's something new to fall asleep in front of tonight!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Busy Friday

Hi Woofers!

We are back again, Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret!

Normally we have a lazy day on Friday. Out first thing, wandering around the football field then back for a snooze while Old Two Legs cleans the ferret cages. After that it is another snooze before the lunchtime stroll along the sea wall.

No today!

We have had telephone calls and emails and messages on the mobile phone and even more emails!

I don't know what has happened, maybe the news that the pubs will be open or wot but suddenly OTL has sent loads of orders!

Not that he is complaining, it's just that we are wondering why they didn't order earlier when we had a bit of time!

Not to worry, as OTL says, it's all money!

When we got down to the sea wall there was a funny looking boat/ship heading up the Medway, must say, we've not seen one like this before!

Mind you, looking back we could see Southend on Sea quite clearly, it's a pity thet the wind was blowing in the wrong direction and that means we don't get a sniff of kebab on the wind!

In the forest we spotted a couple of butterflies and there was one on the buddleia, it makes a change to see the butterflies, especially as they have been cutting all the wild flowers!

Let's hope we see some more before the summer ends, we miss seeing the butterflies in the wild flowers.

Well, we managed to get all the orders out and although it is a bit late, we have done all that was needed. All we got to do now is cross our claws and hope the invoices get paid just as quickly!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Down came the rain!

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, it seems that every time we have stuck our nose out the front door and down came the rain!

There were times when all we did was to look out the window and that will start the rain off again!

The pond was kept well topped up as the rain came down and even the frogs hid under the lilly pads!

The flowers got a good wash as well!

Lunchtime came and we headed off to the sea wall and again down came the rain from a dark and wet looking cloud!

Here comes the rain!

We headed off and tried to get it all done before the next bank of rain caught us up.

There was a big cloud burst just before the forest and we all ran down to the first tree that provided some cover from the rain!

Now, this will make us wet!

We ran all the way back to the car and were away just before the rain caught us up!

We were glad to spend the afternoon snoozing in the office while OTL was fiddling with the computer.

You'd think that by now he would have had it all sorted!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Cloudy

Hi Woofers!

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

Not the best weather today but at least it didn't rain!

Now, Sarn, those flowers, I think, are wild Sweet Pea plants, we have several bushes along the path and once the blooms are out it looks super all the way along the path!

Here is another shot but this time OTL's eye ball is behind the camera!

The rain kept off but there were still loads of clouds blowing across the Thames.

You can just see Southend on Sea at the bottom of the picture.

We stopped at the bench for a rest and I jumped up onto the bench and started playing a game on OTL. He would pick up the camera to take a picture of me but just as he was about to press the shutter release I would turn my head away so all he got was a shot of my ear!

Of course, he kept on calling me and in the end managed to get a shot of me!

Sneaky OTL!

Of course, Holly decided that she would be just as sneaky as OTL and stay on the ground!

Is that a Zoom Lens?

There was a funny looking plant we passed on our way to the car park. OTL says that he has seen the plant before but can't remember it's name!

Not sure, but it looks good!

Just before we entered the forest the wild flowers ran out and there were Hover Flies and smaller bugs, then we saw a Grass Hopper bouncing around the grass and then it landed on a blade of grass.

Just long enough for OTL to catch this before it jumped into the air and disappeared!

Quick, take a picture before I'm off!

One good thing happened when we got home. Holly and I spotted a cat, that smelly black and white thing that likes to poo on the drive. As soon as we got out of the car we raced to where we last saw it but the sneaky thing had jumped over the fence and legged it away!

I think the weather man said that it will be getting warm and sunny over the weekend, roll on the week end!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Wet!

Hi Woofers!

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

It's been a bit of a grotty day today. It's only the weather that has put a downer on today, it was slightly damp this morning and by the time we were ready to go out at lunchtime, it was raining!

Not exactly bucketing down but that nasty stuff that gets into your fur and ends up making your back wet through to the skin!

Of course, Holly was complaining and showing off at getting wet even though she was wearing her big harness!

and now my tail is wet!

 Being it was wet, Old Two Legs took his camera with him but to prevent water getting into the workings, he put the camera into a poo bag with the lens sticking out.

One small problem was that when he put the camera up to his eye, he couldn't see a thing!

OTL was not going to be outdone and held the camera in front of him and guessed where it was pointing and what he was pointing at!

Strange enough, the pictures weren't too bad!

Even got the water droplets!

 Not that it pleased Holly who was getting a soggy back side as well as the soggy tail!

It even squeaks when I walk through the grass!

 In the end, OTL wasn't listening to Holly and was more interested in trying to get the pictures balanced and not looking wobbly!

Now, that's not too bad is it?

 On our way through the forest, we came across some more flowers and OTL tried his hand again but the picture didn't come out as planned cos what he needed was Landscape but the lens wasn't wide enough!

Pretty but could do with being a bit wider!

 Still, it wasn't too bad considering he couldn't see what he was aiming the camera at!

Back home we were packed off to the office beds while OTL and The Missus took the little car to the garage for its first service.

Holly and I kept a watch out through the window, waiting for them to return and rushed down stairs when they turned into the road.

One of the good things about being left on our own is that after we were dried off, we could have another roll on the bed to finish off drying our tails!

Let's hope that tomorrow the sun comes out!

Bye, bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.
