An early start this morning to take Andrew to the station. Miraculously it wasn't raining, so bundled sleepy hounds into the back of the car and after dropping off Andrew by station front, drove down to Hamadryad Park on Clarence Embankment. Took the woofs for an early morning constitutional, not helped by part of one of my teeth falling out on the way. Now will need emergency dentist. Still it was lovely by the river with early rowers on the water, ducks bobbing and a wonderful selection of wild flowers in the park. Drove home via Tesco for a paper and some shampoo - and treated myself to one of their new bags for life shoppers. Three ticks in the box - made from recycled plastic bottles - hurrah! Raising money for Marie Curie, one of my favourite cancer charities - hurrah! Designed by Cath Kidston and covered in jolly flowers - hurrah! As I got back to the car with my purchases, it began to rain, and it is now bucketing down. Am about to do battle with laundry - oh, frabjous day, as Lewis Carroll put it. Woofs content on sofa in post walk torpor, having devoured breakfast.
