After the morning chores plus a dog-walk, I gathered up my troop, aka Pepper, and we left for town in the horse-van.

I will admit that I rather regretted not bringing Pepper’s cushions with us as she squeaked the whole way that she couldn’t see out properly.  I told her to look to the side and she complained about the lack of her cushions. FFS!  Princess and the Pea.

We headed straight to Jamieson’s Knitwear to observe the field.

I topped it up and was pleased with the new banner thingy that was smartly attached.

And then Pepper and I walked up and down the street to see if we needed anything else.  Apparently we didn’t but it was all good training for Herself.  She met other dogs and walked away without aggro.

There was a big boat in – the Le Laperouse – with 184 passengers.  It looked very nice.  My sort of boat but then I remember the sea and the waves and realise I will never go on a cruise – I am very seasick.

Next, I went to the feed merchants to buy a round bale of hay to keep for the next emergency.  It will come. It always does and it’s always good to be prepared.

Pepper stayed in the van, much to her disgust.  I mean she has to go everywhere with me and I mean everywhere!

I could feel her willing me to let her out but this was no place for her to run around.

And then home and I felt a little tired so I had a rest with everyone “helping” me rest.  This help was non-optional.
