Morning all 5.1 by the time I remembered to do it. A busy morning already as I woke late - poor Dennis crossing all his legs waiting to go out! Popped his lead on, opened the front door and his collar broke so he was off, rejoicing in his freedom. Got him back quite quickly ( recall is improving, good boy) Off up the lane and came across his pal Ralphie, a beautiful silver mini Scnauzer who had skipped out of his front door too. Recall was impossible once he’d spotted Dennis and we had to let the dogs greet each other until Ralphie’s dad could call him away. Dogs simply don’t understand social distancing.
Once home I had a delivery of fish. A local fisherman (whose business is in jeopardy as the market he sells at has had to close) offered on the village Facebook page to go out in his boat and deliver direct to houses. Yes please! It all went horribly wrong last week when his nets caught a WW2 parachute mine and he had to tow it into the Solent shallows for the coast guards. It was made safe which involved blowing it and his net up. Poor bloke what a loss. Well he managed to get out again this week and has delivered a 10kg box of the freshest fish to my doorstep this morning.
Mr C’s boyhood summers spent helping at his uncles fish and chip shop in Scarborough will be good experience as he knows how to clean, gut and fillet fish thank goodness. -that’s his afternoon sorted.
Some great fbgs here today @Muddy Cyclist and @OldButBold deserve special mention ( and glad you slept well again OBB)
@Debanddez so sorry to hear of Eric’s boss, hugs to you all.
@gennepher I’m looking forward to your Chinese brush paintings. My dad bought me a set of brushes back from China when I was young but I never knew how to use them ( before YouTube etc in those days obviously)
Take care all
