All is calm in our household

Yesterday Jake stayed home from school - he had a big weekend away and needed a rest. The dogs didn't catch and eat the mouse that was mucking around near the TV or in the kitchen.

I spent my time shifting dogs and hanging out and bringing in the washing. Nobody dragged any washing off the line, so it all is now clean, waiting for me to put it away in the wardrobe/drawers.

Today, no washing, just putting away. I need to decide what's for tea, and remember to get it out of the freezer.

Kharis at the moment is on the sofa, and he looks like he might stay there for quite some time. If the mice are still in the kitchen or near the TV I don't think Kharis cares.

What other dog news do I have? Nothing much really. One of the people up the street was walking some of her dogs yesterday. That reminds me that I should walk our dogs. It would be good for my health, good for the dogs and so on. I know that it just isn't going to happen.

The only jobs I absolutely have to do today apart from sorting tea out, are to get writing things underway, if not finished. I have to guard against the internet, the biggest time stealer in my life at the moment. You know you're spending too much time on the internet when your cup of coffee goes cold before you finish it!

I've got to put La De and Nena outside next, check they have water out there, water some plants if they need it. The weather has turned cool, which is a pleasant change after the summer weather we've had. I don't know if it will rain today, but we had 3mm yesterday. I love it when it rains, as long as I don't have to go out in it!

Holidays

We're all on holidays now, getting over Christmas and New Years Eve. There's not been much to get over actually, we had the quietest time ever I think. Now we're still having a quiet time, waiting for our kitchen to be delivered, which we hope will happen in the next few days.

The dogs, on the other hand have had a rowdier time - one of our Pharaoh Hound girls went under one of out fences the other morning and spent some time running around on the wrong side of the fence.

We were lucky Missy doesn't seem to have got in any trouble - it was a worry, because she's in season for the first time, and we certainly don't want puppies where we have no idea who the father might be! Kharis has been only slightly off his food, which is unusual for him - Missy's mother Ananka is in season too, so at least then will be those two safe again soon enough. The joys of having more thatn one dog!

Anyway, Graham Jake and I saw Quantum of Solace yesterday - geat film, full on action, and Daniel Craig is so cute! I heartily recommend the movie for anyone who likes full-on action movies and cute people, male or female to look at - that just about coverts everyone, doesn't it?

Kharis is happy about something else at the moment - we've decided he is allowed to lie on the old sofa which is in the loungeroom - there's room on it for him and Jake. As long as nobody minds getting a little dog hair on them all will be sweet!
