Last week was busy, although it was half term in many places, including our quilting class. However, Wednesday night was Greyhound meeting up in Merthyr. We drove up there and found the venue which was a bowls club attached to a leisure centre. When I walked in with the lady I was travelling with, we were met by a lone bloke in the bar who regarded us as alien beings (as we were female)! I had forgotten that there were still these pockets of dinosaur men around up in the valleys - quite depressing really. Anyway meeting went well.

On the weekend, topped up Booty's medication. We arrived at the vet's surgery on Saturday morning, when he does a short clinic to find him in the doorway angrily wielding a hammer. I must have looked a bit startled but he immediately started banging hell out of the door frame which was apparently sticking. As he is a tough, no-nonsense Antipodean, (although wonderfully gentle with the dogs) this was quite impressive once I got over the shock. Anyway, got Booty's meds and disappeared for a walk, which was very cold.

Sunday, we were visited by Andrew's sister, husband and three boys. Nephews were happy, noisy and pleased to see the dogs. We had lunch first and then went back to Hamadryad park and over to the wetlands area. Although sunny, there was still lots of ice in the ditches. All had a good afternoon, returned home and we all watched a Wallace and Gromit DVD - thoroughly enjoyed it. Photos attached, taken while out.
