Heavy showers and occasional bits of sunshine. I went with Bangle for our often walk in the park with pie and coffee but this time by the time we got to the park it was bucketing down. After ten minutes of this and people scurrying for vehicles Bangle and I went back home and had my lunch sitting on the cottage verandah.

Late afternoon as the weather had cleared up for an hour or more we did another run, this time with coffee and an apple turnover. It was spitting when we got to the park but we trotted along to the covered picnic table where the dogs swim and had lunch there. Walk there and back was pretty dry and Bangle and I both got in some needed exercise.

Chrissie took Bangle with the rest of the dogs for a walk round the orchard as dusk approached.

I’ve offered Chrissie and Marcus the loan of my Whisper electric bike and its trailer. Chrissie also has the idea that the slower dogs, Bangle and Cyril, might sit in the trailer as they can’t keep up with cycle.
