Small puppy, large cannon.

 Aye, it's the end of September and the nights are fair drawing in!

Month didn't start very well, a domestic happening necessitated a hospital visit, but all is better now. Went down south shortly after to Carlisle for a couple of nights, seems like a nice place and the castle was interesting. Stayed near the station where the centre of the nightlife takes place, there are even two Wetherspoons pubs within about 50 metres of each other, one with a photo of Rudolf Hess on the wall, as he was imprisoned in the castle for a couple of nights on the way south. Not that I am one for staying out too late, never really have been, and certainly not now that I'm ancient.

Still, am still active enough to meet my steps target of 200K again this month, again I have been walking regularly around the local area, a couple of days ago I did about 18K to take me over the limit, been resting up yesterday and today as a new month starts tomorrow. Yes, sober October is nearly upon us, I'm not doing it, but I know someone that has been sponsored to do so! It will likely be a long month for me too..

Still working away- sometimes- at my vets place, it's OK, but finishing really late at night is not really me, am more of a morning person. Working every single weekend too, as well as some nights during week, is also less than ideal, maybe I'll be starting my Civil Service job soon, but am still waiting for details. Seems everything is delayed by this virus thing, next we will have another lockdown the way things are going.

So not really much to report this month, it's been that kind of year really. Off out to the pubs in a few minutes, must remember mask, a last few drinks for someone before October starts!

Oh, Kath has got herself a new wee doggie called Red (he's black), a cute wee thing and some company for Shadow who has been missing her old companion Ember. Not had him out on a walk yet, got to wait a while for that.

As I am writing this Stasi has just landed on my monitor and is checking up on what I write, she is a well-named bird!

Yeah, am having trouble positioning photos since Blogger was updated, crap really.
