Hi Paws and everyone,
Hot again today, big thunderstorms in the evenings and lots of heavy rain... strange summer. The occupational therapist from the hospital has just left. I was hoping she'd be more thorough but I guess with public health they're on a time limit and busy... anyway she will do a report for Housing, doesn't know if it will help or not, she said so often she sees people who need to be moved and all she can do is put in her report and hope for the best.
Anyone been watching the tennis? Glad I didn't stay up last night as it went for five hours apparently! It was great to see Ash Barty win the other night though.
The river here is flooded, I guess from rain upstream, so little Sam had a wonderful swim this morning and we'll try again this evening, storms permitting. He wouldn't stop barking at the OT, she wore a different kind of mask and I think it disturbed him!
Paws are you reading/watching anything good? I'm watching a series on Utube called Not Just Bikes, about how our cities (particularly America) are not friendly for people walking, he moved to Amsterdam to live and it's interesting looking at the different suburbs and all the kids in Amsterdam cycling themselves to school, even just primary school. We used to walk miles as kids, nobody thought anything of it back then.
I hope to have music lessons starting next week, still have to get the bursary application in, I forgot I have to have it witnessed by a JP and can't get one until tomorrow afternoon...
I'm glad I put the neighbour off re the yard, he has never been helpful or pleasant, mows his footpath to a careful line with mine and never does even a foot more, sprays the weeds at the front gutter for his house but never has offered to help me by giving mine a spray at the same time... he's a young fit guy, it would have been nice if he'd offered. So I'm relieved that for the time being I have put him off.
I've been reading I for Isobel by Amy Witting, it's superb, she is an old Australian writer but excellent.
I've also bought the old move The Lion in Winter from Ebay, I remember I liked it, with Katherine Hepburn. Should be fun when it arrives.
How is Woofa these days Paws? There are some good Utube videos on dogs getting dementia... more human contact and contact with dogs they reckon... Sam has been so much better since the dog park.
Hugs from us both here (furry ones from Sam) xoxoxoxo
