Good morning everyone from Windermere.
5.7 this a.m.
Spent the afternoon wandering round this little town after first having lunch in the smallest pub in The Lakes - dissapointingly not in a phone box. Then an early evening stroll along part of the shoreline amassing over 6 miles by days end.
Today is Ambleside - we have a property to visit that we stayed in a few years ago and may be booking for next years family weekend. So, probably an amble round Ambleside and then back here as there is a short walk up through the woods for what could be a good view over the lake if the weather is right.
Art bit - a quick sketch looking at the far side of the lake whilst hiding behind some trees.
Enjoy your day, I am enjoying a freshly made cafetière of koffy.

A beautiful peaceful calming willow tree @dunelm
Enjoy your mini holiday....

I think in most cases of dogs biting, but not all.
It is the lack of training of the owner, and then the dog. You see it everyday on the usual dog walk routes.
A well trained dog would be only playing.
You would certainly not like a dog to grip or lock their jaw on.
But as I have advised my neighbour to see a vet for the dogs behaviour before deciding. It is their choice, not mine. But sometimes even if was play, some breeds get the event of blood, then there is no coming back from that.
These things happen!
Ouch!

I do agree that most problems with dogs are caused by lack of training of the owner @Lamont D

Hope you enjoy your amble around Ambleside @dunelm
 
We really enjoyed our visit to the Goat Shed yesterday. Did some really good training there with Bonnie as well as enjoying a lovely cup of coffee.

It felt really good to get out of our village on a Sunday. We now have to take her to all sorts of places to do this staying calm training - railway stations, supermarket car parks, pubs cafes etc. etc.
 
7.0 this morning.
having fun with getting a re dressing appointment unless I want to spend a small holiday in a walk in centre.
rather than, had to phone 111 to get my surgery to give me an appointment. Wish me luck. The receptionist told me no appointments for weeks. Go figure!

#8 has joined the fun in the garden, where my daffs have bloomed, and every other spring bulb is coming along strong and early. Lawn needs a cut, but it will have to wait, new growth is starting where I repaired it.
It is another nice day, a bit warmer than the weekend. Apparently mid teens this week. And no rain forecast, so watch out for the drought warnings ha!

Gotta go, doctor is phoning.
 
Further to my last post.
I have an appointment with my surgery on Thursday when I wanted it.
Just shows it don't it?
Sun is shining foot is hurting ratbag is playing and snores from the couch. Heaven (ish)
My best wishes, have your bestest day.

Bit of a rough night. Virtually no spoons before the day even started. I knew I should rest, but did I heck.

I went to a garden centre for breakfast. I saw a new food shop opened on the way there. It looked very much like a Turkish shop. Went inside, saw all these sweet meats and sweetbreads behind glass. I did not get any.. found some flame grilled yoghurt? Unless something was lost in the translation.. so I bought that. And I bought something which had pistachios in it., so that has a possibility of being sweet.

Then I went to garden centre but I was really tired so I decided to have a breakfast. That was good. I didn't eat any of the carb stuff.

But I saw loads of mint, and I want to plant this round the doors and anywhere that could be an entry point for little four footed long tailed beasties. I have other lines of defences, but that was another one I wanted to use. So I loaded the trolley with mint. It was here that any spoons I had left completely vanished and I was totally unable to push it to the till. I had to ask for help and for loading the car. Came straight home was unable to do any of the other shopping I had planned.....

I am now sitting on the couch, on the warm side of a sunny window, ready to fall asleep with a cuppa tea...

Too tired to create a creative BUT as I passed the flowers I took photos and made some kaleidoscopes...


This kaleidoscope is of yellow primulas...
A long afternoon nap now calls...

I have to agree that in the case of Archie and Banksie, that was the case. Alistair and DIL did take them to dog training classes, but really didn't have the time, or the strength to spend training them outwith the classes. Banksie, on his own, would have been fine, but Archie, being still a pup, although very big, was excitable and playful. In the house he was fine, but Hugo's barking at the stranger passing by the house, excited him too much. The fence was no obstacle. He didn't get a second chance.
 
5.1 at 04.00 today. Still in the 5's. Trying to keep carbs as low as possible again, while eating mainly veg just to try to get my weight back under control without doing too much harm to my kidneys.

I did a lot of work on my Find My Past family tree again yesterday, and today - it has all disappeared! All the work I did was reinstating what had disappeared before so I did make screen shots this time but, is it worth doing it all again I wonder. If I don't, I won't get back any further, if I do it may all be a wasted effort. I've gone off the other 2 big family history sites because people seem to keep making changes to my work, which I can't then delete and reinstate my own. Grrrhh!

No one can make changes on my Ancestry or Find My Past or My Heritage sites unless I give them permission to do so. But on Family Search anyone can change the careful research I have done, basically saying I have got it wrong and alter it completely, when I know my details are right because I have the documentation and first hand knowledge. I have given up with family search.
Check your settings if you can @Annb
The other thing I do is to have all my family trees private, bar one - the main one. But I have a duplicate private copy of it.
This is extra work, and gives me a headache sometimes.

And when someone asks if they can see my private tree, I say hang on, but what I do is make a duplicate copy, and make that public so they can easily access it, because this granting permission's thing for them to view it was also a headache.

Any help @Annb

Not sure how to do that, Gennepher but I'll have a look and see. I also have so many lists of names and information with it all on, but can't seem to find the relevant ones. Not sure, now, that I did make a list of the most interesting line I've found recently. Beginning to doubt myself. Did I dream it? I don't think so. I was a bit dozey yesterday but not that bad.

I made mistakes in the first place trying to do my suggestions, but I figured it out in the end.
I am the same @Annb
I saved information religiously, and I have a system but when I want something, it's not there. Like you, I know it's not my imagination, but it's like there's a little online gremlin that steals things I saved...
