Another Long March!

Hi Woofers!

It's Daisy, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret back again!

Just for a change Old Two Legs took us out this morning down on the sea front. Being so early we even managed to catch the high tide, well, close on the high tide anyway! There was a little rain, so much that OTL left his camara in the car, so, no clicking while I'm trying to have a wee!

It was the F1 Racing today so my stroll at lunchtime was based on the program times for the racing.

We had plenty of time and OTL decided we would do the 'Long Walk' but the way he was striding out it seemed more like a march!

  Loads of clouds but very little rain!

Down by the old power station site the cooling water was still flooding out and judging by the turbulence, there must be a load of rocks or something that stirred up the water!

 Bubbly, bubbly!

Many years ago, I remember coming down here and the water was steaming, like it was hot or at least above the air temperature but not today!

I remember also that there would be small boats moored off the end, fishing, but I've not seen them for a long time.

The only thing fishing off the beach nowadays is the birds!

 OTL says it is boring marching along the sea front so today he tried counting the steps he took to get all the way down to the end of the sea wall and back again to the car.

OK, there were a couple of places where he lost count but we reckon in the end he got an accurate count.

By the time we got back we reckon to have walked just over four miles or six thousand, five hundred metres!

So, this is the second march, well he was marching and I was sniffing!

The F1 Racing was exciting and Hamilton managed to squeeze by Verstuffin and take the chequered flag, GREAT!

We read that Archie Babe got a tad tiddly, well to be honest, he can keep it. I had a lick of OTL's beer when I was a pup and it made me sneeze my tail off, never again!

Back to work tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

Catching the Post for TM!

 

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret here.

What a fun day, Old Two Legs was slurping the bottle of Malt Whisky which always leads to him over sleeping, mind you, The Missus was bouncing around in the bed around two thirty which woke both Old Two Legs and I.

You know, I had to give her the Warning Woof to tell her to stop messing about and go back to sleep!

Needless to say, the programming OTL had planned was shoved to one side 'cos he couldn't get his head around 5-Tone Signalling Inputs, mind you neither could I, what we needed was input from Holly, she would have put him straight!

Lunchtime we headed off to Grain with instructions to get a package posted but when we got to the Post Office, we found it was shut and we would have a two hour wait until it opened again!

Two hours? Blimey, even OTL's lunch hour doesn't last that long!

OTL decided that to kill time we would walk all the way along the sea wall right up to where the old power station used to be, until they blew it up!

 

That is the Medway Fort from another angle and the water pouring out is from the power station that uses it for cooling. What it actually cools I'm not sure, that's when we needed Holly again!

Talking of woofers, we met up with Susie, OTL is the only Two Legs she will say hello to. When any other TL comes along, she runs off!

Yo! OTL, Good to see you again!

A bit further along the path, came three black dogs, of course OTL knows all of them especially Bob, who looks a bit of a bruiser but really, he is just a big softy. He gets his squeaky ball and runs up to OTL who picks it up and pretends to throw it bit instead of throwing it, he hangs onto it and throws it the other way so that Bob can get the ball before the other two!

Bob loves OTL 'cos normally he doesn't get a look in when the ball is thrown by his TL's!

OK, I see it over your head, now throw it behind you as normal!

When we got back from the walk, we sat in the car for a quarter of an hour waiting for the Post Office to open and after sending the package off, headed for home.

We got home to find Rose, Rosie and Tracy had arrived. Now Rose and Rosie brought along a Christmas Cake covered in icing and full of alcoholic stuff that OTL loves!

Now OTL doesn't get Christmas Cakes made for him by TM so to get a pressie like that is something extra special!

This evening we watched the F1 Racing which was rather exciting, you know it even stopped TM from falling asleep!

Early to bed tonight and with a bit of luck OTL will get the programming done tomorrow.

If he is lucky!

Bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.
