The month though was dominated by my doggie niece Ember, I looked after her at mine for about 3 weeks as Kath was over in France. Oh the fun we had going out in the pouring rain and howling wind, oh the gorgeous mornings walking for miles rather than staying in my bed..I liked it to be honest, gave me some discipline, and this is a nice place to be a dog owner, because the coastal path and various beaches are nearby. Almost every walk however the dog insisted on swimming in the sea, arriving wet back at the flat and insisting on a rub down with a towel- no joke. Once I forgot the towel and she tried to dry herself with it! Managed 3 walks along to Aberdour with her- the Cedar Inn has reopened so that was our first port of call, then got train back.
Been working most days this month too, did a long 9-8 shift yesterday, but have today off. I've been getting things done today to be honest, cut the grass for the first time in 4 weeks, put a washing on, did the washing up, my plans to hoover have been ditched however, I just canne be bothered. I've worked back the hours that I owe the company now, but will still do a couple of long shifts to accrue an extra holiday or two. Talking of holiday, I've even booked a flight for December, the christmas markets in Germany are beckoning me.Not done much travelling this month, obviously no runs either because of the dog, did go to Edinburgh for a few craft ales last weekend though. Started in the Guildford Arms, then Taproom, then Potting Shed, Ushers, then a german beer in the Brauhaus.
Hope August has better weather as I've a couple of long weekends next month.
