Shrug

I'm not too sure what happened but I appeared to have lost my blog for a couple of weeks, so this is really testing the waters.

This morning I took the hound around the lake and was treated to 2 herons standing in the reeds like umbrellas in umbrella pots. They are such pre-historic looking birds that unfurl themselves into tatty sheets of grey material as they launch low speed, low level.

Jaipur ran and ran,kicking up his heels like a spring lamb. I lost track of him and then clocked him swimming with olympian strength after a moorhen. What I spotted, and Jai didn't, was the male swan who drifted out of the reeds like the Amarda. (The nest was close by) It should never surprise any dog owner what a proffered gravy bone can do. I reckon that stroke was butterfly!

With Jai now dozing, I knit myself into a mild hypnotic state. This shrug initially reduced me to feeble tears of frustration. I couldn't even twitch and it would go wrong! 18 attempts later,we are up and running on part 2. Sooo satisfying. And a lesson to behold...do the prototype first!

Happy Easter!
