My little friend Cara

Today I learnt that a little dog called Cara, whom I have only know through http://www.doggysnaps.com/ has died. I was pretty cut up about this and even though I had never met her in the flesh nor had I ever spoken to her owner it felt as if I had known her for a long time. Her mum is now going to be pretty lost, know the feeling as I have lost two dogs in the past 10 years within months of each other. You really don't know what to do with yourself. My thoughts and wishes go out to her mum and hope she can come to terms with this as soon as possible.

My first attempt at having a ramble

Well here I am having a go at putting my thoughts on the net. What do I do, do I complain about the way the world is run or do I just let everyone know what I get up to day to day and all the very unintersting things that happen to me. Here goes - today I felt it was about time to do something about the garden before winter comes along, it rather looks like a bomb has hit it. My dear husband was very loath to help, especially as he says he is on holiday this week and as he is a horticulturist this was a bit like a bus man's holiday. So after a lot of discussion it was decided that we would leave it until later in the week, when he had run out of things to do (not sure what he meant as he appears to be doing nothing). My next bright idea was to do a bit of decorating, this went down like lead ballon, so that idea was shelved. Really must get on with something before the dark nights (and days) begin. Everything always looks worse in artificial light. Anyway hope to get on with something this week (or if hubby gets his own way nothing).
