Gracie, originally uploaded by ZMB. Today Gracie ate a 200g packet of plain chocolate coated ginger pieces and wound up with a very sore belly. I reckon if I had eaten the whole packet I too would have felt ill. But she is a 5 kg dog and I weigh considerably more, so the effects [...]
It’s about time I rejoined the blogging society. Sometimes it is better to be busy and not to be sitting in front of a computer for hours on end wasting time. So, what have I done so far this year? I started off with a lovely 3 night stay in Hanna’s Close, Kilkeel. Days were [...]
Dogs in the Wood, originally uploaded by ZMB. You’d never guess Maya was spayed last Monday and has stitches in her belly.
B&W Originally uploaded by ZMB. Just dropping by to say hello. Just got a minute to spare. Just busy watching my dogs play chase. Just itching to get back to my knitting.
Gracie-Grew and Maya-Moo Originally uploaded by ZMB. Some cheeky skitter has been bugging me to write some stuff here, but I am lazy. If you want to know what I did September then visit flickr. I’ve been busy.
Maya & Gracie Originally uploaded by ZMB Hello to the newest member of the family.
These boots were made for walking Originally uploaded by ZMB. I recall when I was wee, I got a pair of shoes that I loved so much I wanted to wear them to bed. I think I might sleep in my new boots tonight.
Dennis the Menace Originally uploaded by ZMB. Yesterday morning I got a lift with The Nurse to Rathlin Island. The Nurse travels out regularly and is ferried over by local boatmen. In this case we (The Nurse, the assistant nurse, myself and Gracie) were taken by Dennis the Menace and Gnasher. Gracie the Vibrodog vibrated [...]
So, I am tired. Gracie is sleeping. Dave looks weary. That’s what you get when you go on a mountain walk in the Sperrins. I’m tired and I am invigorated. We walked the Carntogher Way today and it was very enjoyable. The views were terrible, there was a heavy mist, the ground underfoot was boggy, [...]
Let’s get one thing clear from the start: I am only doing this because Bonnie told me to. Have you seen Bonnie? She’s really quite intimidating (though I don’t think she realises that she is). As for rules? Rules are for fools, and don’t think I’ll be bothering to tag anybody at the the end [...]
Dog Bite Originally uploaded by ZMB. It’s at times like these that I start to feel a little bit funny. Perhaps it is the fault of winter never ending; days and weeks of dark, cold and rain with no glimmer of hope. Roll on spring. Or maybe I am not used to working a five-day [...]
The new year has brought with it aches and pains galore. I started the year with a grumpy drive behind a tractor and a walk from Benone to Magilligan. The combination of driving and walking gave me a very sore bottom. No laughing there! It was a deep muscle ache which I treated with a [...]
Inspired by Hannah’s list of never done before things, I decided to come up with one of my own. 1. Travelled in a Cessna plane. 2. Watched a movie in the Cameo cinema in Edinburgh. 3. Visited Oaxaca, went hiking in Mexican mountains. 4. Climbed to the top of Mount Brandon. After years of visiting [...]
I can’t believe that I have written so little in the past month. My excuse is that I’ve either been sick, taking photographs or out walking the dog. Oh, and working, too. I came back from Edinburgh intending to finish writing about our final few days there but, instead, came home with a rather nasty [...]
Looks like I was quite attached to the old bear. 30 years on I have a soft spot for my new bear.
