Tell Us About Your Day

It sounds like it gives you a good workout then 

I finished off one side of the fence, and hung the gate. I just need to put another post in and the last piece of fence.

Have a happy Mother's Day. 

You definitely kept that one secret from me 

It was a wonderful surprise though 

We accomplished our tasks of mucking out the stable and cleaning the tack this morning.

After our meal this evening we are going into 'movie' mode and will be watching our next film in the 'Oceans' franchise.

We should have watched Ocean's Twelve yesterday but we watched Ocean's Eight instead.  This movie has two of my celebrity crushes in it - Sandra Bullock and Anne Hathaway, so we had a nice bit of eye candy 

We are watching Ocean's Twelve tonight.

Im feeling not smug but vindicated. We walk the dogs along a lane on one side is farmland where a lot of fairly rarer field and wading birds like the godwits and curlews breed on the other side is the lake and marsh where we see egrets spoonbills swans lapwings fieldfares etc and then there are deer and hares..

You are free to walk in the lane and there are no fences but dogs are not allowed to run loose or go into the fields.

However we often see people with loose dogs. One lady has three big GSD's and although they are not aggressive they charge at my dogs barking and yappng which makes my dogs bark and lunge causing me pain.. Ive spoken to her about putting her dogs on a lead and she shrugs. But worse still Ive seen her dogs chase wildlife in the field. Well she got her comeuppance today.
Her dogs were running loose as always when a van came down the lane and stopped because the dogs were right in front of it a man got out and started talking to her in an agitated manner.
He then got back in the van and when he drew level wth us he stopped again. I expected some sort of row but he was actually very nice, he was from the provinical authority and asked if we knew her, we told him no and he asked if she often had her dogs loose. So we explained that they are freindly but a PITA and that we have seen them chasing wildlife.
He told us she got a formal warning from him and if he sees her again with the dogs loose the police will be involved.

He also thanked us for having our dogs under control.

Its nice to A, to get a bit of recognition for obeying the rules and B see that the arrogant idiots who ignore them sometimes get caught

We also have irresponsible dog walkers here too.

Many times we see them off the leads and chasing after the ponies in the Forest, or water birds in wetland areas of Nature Reserves.

If you say anything to them they either completely ignore you or tell you to mind your own business.

We do have Forest Rangers who deal with this sort of thing but they are never around when the offences are committed 

Well done you Cassie for being a responsible dog owner.

In a previous post by you I asked the question "have you published anything?"

As I don't really know you that well I apologise for my ignorance 

A lot of dog owners are selfish and self righteous. 

Same here.

I sorted my medication box. I've done my life admin and have been online. These may seem like minor things but they are important to me.

Oops 

Today was prep. Tomorrow I wont be around , Im off to Germany again, but there are major roadworks on the city ring road in Groningen so Ive planned a route avoiding the city altogether. Its a few kms longer but without the shunt shunt traffic.

Enjoy your trip, Cassie.
