A day of nothing much!

 Yo! Woofers!

It's Daisy and Eric de Ferret here again!

Well, to help Old Two Legs get over his frustration trying to make the computer talk to other bits of electronics, we persuaded him to have a healthy slurp of finest Malt Whisky, in fact it is called Bunnahabhain.

Just to help you, it's pronounced as Bun-Har-Bain and according to OTL it's like an angel weeing on your tongue!

Not that I've had an angel weeing on my tongue lately!

Now, a healthy slurp would normally have the average Two Legs wobbling a bit but OTL has made a study of the malt whisky of West Scotland and knows how to enjoy healthy slurps!

One of the down sides of malt is that it helps OTL to sleep, in fact he snores like a warthog on heat!

The Missus tries to help him sleep by bashing him with the hot water bottle but that normally has little effect!

Another down side is that he over sleeps and instead of getting up at six, it was a quarter to eight before he rolled out of bed this morning!

Of course, by then the sun had got up and was racing towards midday!

It hadn't changed much when we went out for our midday walk, except the local woofers had all gone home!

Not a woofer to be seen!

I didn't mind there not being any woofers cos some of the woofers are a little rough and rush up to me woofing their tails off! It has been known for OTL to grab these woofers as they rush past and, holding onto their collar, admonish them for their loud woofing and hooligan ways!
 

  No woofers here either!

 We took Eric to the vets on Tuesday for another squirt of that freezing Cryopen stuff and I think it has made his leg a little sore. He's not limping but we have caught him licking it. It will take a few days to settle down but the good news is we don't have to take him back again until next month!

Let's hope it heals over by the time we have to go back!

Saturday tomorrow and we might even get to stay in bed a little longer!

Bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy and Eric de Ferret.

That *£%^*( Compu)(£"$&*(%$)!!!!!!!!!!!

 Hi Woofers!

Daisy and Eric de Ferret here!

You know, I'm really glad I don't have to mess about with computers other than to use it as a story telling machine! Old Two Legs has been sitting up in the office trying to make the computer talk to and make it work with external things, like a scanner or a printer or even a card reader!

Before the new computer arrived, the old one would at least talk to it but the new one has taken a dislike to anything that is not inside the computer case!

OTL is not a Happy Puppy!

This morning it was wet and cold out on the sea front but not so windy. In fact, it was quite a pleasant walk, I met up with a couple of hooligan Doodle Poodles who were just too loud and too fast!

The sunrise was gentle, I mean, not so dramatic like it was the other day. Because of that, OTL had to include the Two Trees, Bench and Poo Bin, just to include some interest!

 Look! No Watcher today!

It was just the same, looking out to sea there was no sign that a storm arriving over the horizon!


The sea was just like a mill pond.

 As we were walking along there was a roaring sound up in the sky and OTL says it looked like a rocket streaking across the sky but after a while it turned out to be one of those jet planes heading off to the other side of the world!

 

 Is it a Bird, is it a Rocket, No, it's an Aeroflot Plane!

 Now, either the sun was late in getting up or we were walking quicker than normal but we didn't see the sun before we headed into the woods, just as we went over the hill the sun still hadn't crept over the horizon!

 

 
 No sun this morning!

 Lunchtime was a little boring, just OTL and I walking along the sea wall, not another woofer in sight!

I do Hate Boring Walks!

Friday tomorrow, beginning of the weekend, should be fun!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy and Eric de Ferret.

Learning a new language!

Hello Woofers!

Here we are again, Daisy and Eric de Ferret.

You know, every day you learn a little more than you did yesterday.

Eric and I have been watching Old Two Legs installing the new computer. What he did was to get his Computer Man to clone the old hard disc, then up load it into a reconditioned high end desk top computer.

As soon as he did that, the Windows system booted up and downloaded loads of updates and stuff he had never seen before!

He has spent most of today trying to hone it to his requirements.

With all these updates it seems you can't just pick a bit out that you don't want and install bits you do want.

It's at that point he starts talking to the computer. It starts off with 'You Stupid Computer' and then sort of gathers speed and volume as well as the words get longer and invariably gather more meaning!

Couple that with talking to the Bank Help Line who took over an hour to answer the telephone and when they finally picked up the phone, told OTL, he had to go to the local branch (12 miles away), put the card in the machine and unblock the credit card!

So, as we approach evening time, he has returned from the bank, after having a race down the high street with a Traffic Warden and managing to get to the car before the nice man stuck a parking ticket on his screen!

The computer, at the moment, is being described in a Croatian farm dialect, mixed with Chinese military speak! 

You do learn a lot in this household!

It started this morning with the sun getting up late, so no repeat of the sunrise the other day.

 Even the Watcher missed the Sunrise!


I don't do wet grass!

We met up with Max and Oscar and had to hang around for hours while OTL and Paul discussed cameras. Now we don't mind hanging around when it's nice and dry but today the grass was not only wet but it was cold as well!

Not all of us were happy about that!

Now, OTL is still giving language lessons so I'll head down stairs where I'm sure to find Archie Babe on Zoom with The Missus!

Bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy and Eric de Ferret.
