big belgium lorry nearly squashes cyclist by M3 j5

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

The Belgian lorry driver swerved around the cyclist on the dual carriageway from Odiham to j5 M3 and missed the cyclist by inches, no wonder the cyclist shook his fist - bet he was looking at a map..

lap of the park, trip into town, bit of an off.

Taking a short cut across a downhill bit of the park, the dogs + scooter and I became separated by a big bump. As I sailed off to the side I thought ” at least this won’t hurt”, how wrong can you be! The back wheel of the scooter caught me across the back of both calves - like the worst dead leg you ever had a school but both legs!!!!!

We limped on through Gostrey Meadow and the Lion and Lamb walk to the Hop blossom for some reviving London pride and some interesting folks who’d not seen the scooter before.

The dogs are tired, I’m tired and sore and we were only two hours in Sainburys this morning!

Happy Xmas.

dog scootering

the worms are big and fat

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

Putting a load of peat in the wormery was a good idea, the worms are getting big and fat - like your little finger. If you open the lid quickly you see them on the surface for a blink of an eye until they disappear down their holes back into the peat. The food seems to be going and I’m mixing in chopped up egg carton boxes to make sure it stays dry..

They are here in the new computer room aka the former garage , where it is nice and warm.. NO not from the computers I have a sunray 2 so no computers needed by me but the fan heater is on as it is cold sitting still typing all day..

lap of the park in the dark

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

Really good, dogs were keen, it was cold ( -3 centigrade), no tree rats, no deer, no pedestrians, new gloves so no numb hands.. and now they are deeply asleep like all the ill people in my house..

So we did the two mile circuit of the park, lots of trotting, bits of running, bits of sprinting, bits of praying.. At one point on the way home we came along a road ( on the pavement of course ) but temptation got the better of me and we sailed along at full sprint speed on the quiet road, only when we turned off did I see the surprised motorist behind - who’d believe him when he got home..

nearly had a car crash

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

It was a woman with a girly sammy arooo‘ing in the back, no wonder she was completely distracted. That arooo could be recorded and used as a crowd control weapon - it completely disorientates and rattles your brain to mush.

Our two sometimes do it when they are all excited to go out for a walk, they wait until you are doing your boot laces up and then start, oh! I seem to have forgotten what i was doing, let me start doing my laces again.. arooo, oh! I seem to have forgotten what i was doing, let me start doing my laces again.. arooo, oh! I seem to have forgotten what i was doing, let me start doing my laces again.. arooo, oh! I seem to have forgotten what i was doing, let me start doing my laces again.. arooo, oh! I seem to have forgotten what i was doing, let me start doing my laces again.. arooo. You get the picture…

A very fluffy boy walking along Reading Road south about 7pm as I went to meet some university friends for a beer a catchup and a curry. In Farnham there is Leo and Molly we see in the park often around 9:00am, but I don’t know of any others

Could do with a few more Samoyeds.. We’ve been out scootering most days - very very cold - at least for me. Working from home as family have flu…

Finns’s a polar bear.

Friday, December 14th, 2007

We were out scootering in Farnham Park late yesterday evening when out of a very dark side gate appeared some army cadets, come to play soldiers in the dark. This startled the dogs and I slammed on the brakes. Finn stood up on his back legs leaning forward against the lines to balance.

I heard one of the young lads exclaim, ” XXXX me , I thought it was a XXXing polar bear “,that made me laugh all the way home.. He is a teddy bear not a polar bear anyway!
