Hestia and Nero

We have been jolly adventurous with our big greyhound and taking him to the beach twice a week. We go when the weather is not so wonderful, to minimise the number of dawgies that we might run into.

I don't think he's got an aggressive bone in his body - he's a runner, not a fighter.  Although if you are a Yorkshire Terrier, he might just eat you....

Anyway, here we are at the beach:

Sorry about this not being an embedded video, but living on an island where the internet is still cranked up by hand (ie sloooooooooow) I couldn't face another 45 minutes to upload the film!

Hope you enjoy it - and sorry about the wind noise.  It was blowing a gale at the time!

Also:

Sitting in bed with Tartarus having a cup of tea on Sunday morning.  I am singing along to a tune on the radio.

Me (with pride) :  Frank (my long-suffering music teacher) says that I have a very musical ear.

Tartarus:  What, just the one?

*no longer puffed up with pride*

How was your weekend?!

  2. what? there was a weekend? why wasn't i informed?

    spent the last 4 days blowing my nose into a giant drift pile of kleenexes, non-stop homework and whenever i got bored of that, i'd cough for a bit just for the fun of it.

    what? me? cranky?

    1. Ack - sounds horrible - hope you're feeling better now and that the homework is now merely a distant memory. Any kind or work feels grim when you're full of the cold! (((hug)))

  4. I was 50 this weekend, and started my sixth decade as I mean to carry on. I just hope I don't get caught.

    1. oh congratulations!!! Hope you are feeling better about being 50 than I did! You should have a go at being Richard Burton for a week if you're intending to be a naughty chap for the next decade too :-D

  5. TwistedScottishBasterd here,
    but your lovely blog insists for some reason that I'm Anonymous.

    Isn't it mostly blowing a gale up there?

    Quiet weekend after the bomb threat.

  6. What a beautiful place you live in.
    It reminds me of my home at McLeod Bay in Whangarei Heads in New Zealand
    We are in Toronto for two years. 16th floor of a high-rise in a big city just doesn't equate. We are looking forward to going home.

  7. Hi Hestia, just watched your video - Nero is lovely, adorable, my Monty dog would so love to run around with him (under him, Monty is tiny compared to Nero but does not realise this, he thinks he is a big dog). So nice to live by the sea, Monty has yet to visit the beach, we live the furthest possible from the coast here in olds Bucks. Do you love having a dog? I do, we must have got our dogs at about the same time xxxx
