Day 25

Writing 2026

Lydia and I had a slightly longer walk again today, even though it was raining a bit.

We both got quite wet and muddy but I did feel better for it and I hope she did too.

Other than that and having our breakfasts, we’ve both rested for most of the day, although I did load and unload the dishwasher a couple of times, and tidied up the kitchen a bit. It didn’t need much.

Day 16

Writing again

Lydi did very well with her new collar for the first time. It’s a Halti collar, designed to stop pulling. It will take a while for her to get fully used to it, but it did seem to make a difference.

I’m early with writing and posting Christmas cards this year, which is just as well as it leaves me clear to make a start on deep cleaning the kitchen and doing a few things to it that will hopefully help things along when we come to sell the house.
