We were expecting Jenny again to help Karola dress – so she didn’t bend her knee putting it above her new hip. But as Cynthia Chalmers, old school friend of Karola’s, had said she’d drop in at 2:00pm I decided to ask her to help Karola. I called jenny and to my delight she said that instead of coming after church she and Noel would come over for a chat around 4:00pm.

Cynthia came bearing promised cheese muffins and her latest dog, a standard sized jet black Labrador bitch called, I think, Lisa. She helped Karola get into day clothes and we had our first afternoon tea. Cynthia left about 3:00pm and Karola, Bangle, and I took the Landrover to the park where Bangle and I walked up the main path and back along the stop bank. It was busy, I counted 50 cars in the car park.

There was some sort of Dachshund convention or outing, I counted twenty walkers and about the same number of sausage dogs.

We got back in time to invite Noel and Jenny in. We had a very pleasant late afternoon eating Cynthia’s muffins and chatting.

Sausage Dogs A Plenty
