BD's Holiday

I recently had the great honour of looking after the one and only blogdog whilst his flatmate was away on business. Unfortunately I was working most of the time with the festival, but we didn't manage to schedule some time for fun during my time off. Also unfortunate is the state of my phone camera, but I'll let the photo quality do the speaking on that part.


Evening 1 saw us head up the the Crags for a lot of investigation in the long grass. There were hundreds of slugs, although BD didn't seem too interested.

Later that evening we went for a quick pint. Well I did, BD wasn't allowed any, although he did manage to charm a lot of ham from the landlady! Well done that dog.



An early morning inspection of his territory. All was in order for the morning.


The next evening we went up the Crags again, but followed the path along the edge being careful for passing seagulls, crows etc which were very interesting.

BD wasn't too interested in the castle and got bored of the whole photo thing at this point. Unfortunately this means there were none of us visiting Pleasance and getting acquainted with the general public. He is very good at destroying flyers and may get a full time post next year!

That was our amazing adventure. After our wild party in the pub he may not be allowed to spend much time with me any more, but we can always hope!

Inbreeding

Anyone actually surprised by this? Surely it's been obvious for many years.

Sore

It's day... something of the festival and it's starting to hit me now properly. Due to having no days off the day means nothing. Weekends pass without notice. One of these years I'll tally up the tonnage I shift - today was in excess of 15 tons. I also nearly got flattened by a keg adding to the bruising over my body. Tendons are sore, although that probably isn't aided by climbing after work.

And now I'm going to bed.
