So… how far behind can I get on my blog posts??? As it turns out, a fair way behind. Life has a way of taking over and not giving you a spare moment, and with any spare moments you have, you have to choose wisely what you spend them on. Do something and I guarantee that you will miss out on something else. So, posting has taken a back seat.

Tonight though, James is at a sleep over and Lynsey is fast asleep having had Elvis tire her out. I have been for a run, and now showered and relaxed, am not ready to sleep. Music and catch up on my blog is the order of the hour.

Several weekends back now we had our friends Claire and Andrew over, with the new addition to their family, Tom. Jess was totally put out with someone bringing another dog into her domain and the only thing I can say is that she tolerated Tom, she certainly was not friendly, well not at least until we were out and walking with them. Tom on the other hand is a huge softy and was a pleasure to have to stay.

On the Sunday morning we took them both out for a walk. All was good, apart from me forcing everyone to walk across a hugely wet field, thank goodness I had waterproof shoes on, not so much everyone else! Then… Tom chased after a bird and disappeared into the distance, throwing my camera to Claire I did my best Forest Gump impression and ran after him. My goodness that dog can run. All’s well that ends well as I caught up with him and sent him packing back to Mum and Dad.

Walk over it was the end to a lovely weekend with friends we do not see anywhere near enough! At least this time I was functioning on the Sunday!
