We've got a new knocker!

 Hello Woofers!

Daisy here!

It's been a bit of a mix up today. Old Two Legs was up early this morning and out with me earlier than normal. That means he has something going on!

The sunrise happened an hour or two earlier but we managed to get a Moody shot using the 105mm lens.

This carrier came out of the Medway around Sheerness Docks, then it turned 'Port' and headed up the Thames!

It seems that more and more containers or carriers are using the Thames Docks nowadays.

We sort of bumped into the pack of hooligansalong the sea wall but headed off into the forest and missed them all.

A right bunch of hooligans!

We headed back home and while I was having a snooze on the bed, OTL crept out of the house and headed off to see one of his customers, problem was, he got tangled up with the twenty-mile jam on the M20 caused by truck drivers trying to get into Dover and the ferries!

It was mid-afternoon by the time he got back and on the insistence of The Missus, OTL had to install a door knocker!

You see, all these carriers that bring stuff to the house seem not to be able to see the Electronik Door Bell screwed to the wall and all lit up like Christmas Tree. Instead of pressing the door bell, they bang on the door or the window and if you don't open the door withing a couple of seconds they leave the parcel propped up against the door.

So, to help TM know when there is a delivery, OTL has now installed a fine brass knocker that when used, sounds like a cannon discharging with a  mighty boom!

It's not everyone who has a fine brass knocker like this!

So, now that it is installed, everyone who has delivered today has used the electronik bell, no one has touched the knocker!

See you all tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy.

Wind, Rain All Night!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy Dog here again!

Well now, last night started off all warm and comfortable but not long after midnight it started. The rain started hammering against the bedroom window aided and abated by the wind that was trying to blow the rain up and under the roof tiles!

You know it even woke Old Two Legs up and that is almost impossible in normal times!

It carried on almost all night and it was only just as it was getting light that the rain stopped.

The wind carried on until mid-afternoon. 

So, walking in such terrible conditions was just not on. OTL left the camera in the car and when he got out of the car, he nearly got blown across the football field!

Both morning and afternoon was the same and he had to walk with the hood on his big coat pulled right up over his head!

We were lucky that there were no trees blown down, just a few hedges strewn across the road but we managed to drive around them!

So, that's it for today, OTL is off working after my morning walk, so I will have to get him up early and claws crossed, out of the house in plenty of time!

Bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy Dog!

Where are the blue skys?

 Hello Woofers.

I'm back again!

It's been a bit of a nothing day today. Mind you, I did meet up with Barny II, he just loves Old Two Legs and always bounds up to him for a tickle before sniffing my butt!

 I don't mind him getting a tickle on the tail but I don't want him cuddling OTL!

The Slippy Cows were out in force today and OTL spent time on his knees clicking away trying to get the correct exposure on the yellow flowers.

I will try to get him to photograph just the flowers next time.

One thing I did see was the sawn up trunks of some trees that have been arranged to act as tables. So, I look forward to seeing mini two legs sitting on the benches and using the tables as picnic tables during the summer holidays.

It is strange the things you come across in the forest!

Here is another bud bursting out, it only lasts a couple of days then the leaves burst out or the bud falls off the branch!

Mind you, I keep sniffing the sniffs at ground level while OTL clicks away at the branches full of buds!

Now, I wonder if I can get away with rolling in this sniff before he can get me to stop?

See you all tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy.

So, who nicked the chicken?

 Hello Woofers!

Daisy back with you again.

What a change it's been today. The temperature is up by a few degrees and the wind was down by a few MPH!

Heading out we had to post a letter for The Missus and when Old Two Legs got back into the car, he noticed that the weather vane was missing from the top of the church spire!

Now that's a bit of a cheek, I mean, why nick the chicken from the church?

It's a bit much and they even left their ladders behind!

I'm going to keep an eye open for any chickens that look like they are lost!

Down on the sea front the clouds were up in the sky looking like they were thinking about going back to bed! 

Well, we have seen better!

I met up with Pod who said he had the Grumbly Tum, but it didn't stop him enjoying a sniff with me!

I never did find out why he was named Pod!

OTL reckons he saw a Cetti Warbler but wasn't quick enough to photograph it, just to make sure. He reckons to have the 105mm lens tomorrow and we know where it has been hanging about, so with a bit of luck we may catch it tomorrow!

This one isn't a Cetti Warbler it's too big!

Now, you don't often see this, a Wood Pidgeon and a Magpie sitting next to each other discussing nest sites!

 

Well, I saw it first and now it's mine!

 Actually, there were two nests from last year, both unfinished and unused!

 We are crossing our claws that tomorrow will be all fine and dry with no wind, well, that's the plan anyway!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy.
