Dog Day

The weather has improved today - everywhere is still wet and soft underfoot but the torrential rain we saw yesterday has stopped. A nice day at home today after my long trek to the Midlands yesterday. Spent the morning balancing off Complex's books as 30th September is our Year End. At lunchtime today we walked Debbie E's black labrador dog, Ben, for a mile and a half walk across Mill Lane and across the fields returning via Easton Common Hill to Ben's home in The Shripple. He was a very obedient dog indeed running off only once when he saw a pheasant. He retrieved his ball throwing toy each time he dropped it. Back home we had a late light lunch of cold meats, salad and hot new potatoes. We visited Mary's school in the afternoon and spoke to her teacher about her maths as Mary feels that the exercises she is being set are too simple for her. Apparently, things will get more challenging after this current term. Tonight Sara and I watched a couple of episodes of The Good Life before having a relatively early night.
