Dog Sitting - Sunday January 21st 2024

Still cold on Monday but nice and sunny. Amy took the kids to rhyme time at Tilehurst library in the morning. We took them to the park in the afternoon then Josh came over with Isla. Took Owen for a walk into town on Tuesday morning. Did a walk down to nob end and along the railway line in the afternoon.  Nice sunset.

Popped into the Foresters on the way back for a very swift one. Limited choice of beers but a very nice pint of landlord. Friendly welcome. Took Owen for a walk on Wednesday morning. I went for a street walk late afternoon and popped into the Rose Thistle for a very swift one. Pretty similar to the Foresters on the beer front and another nice pint of landlord. Not as friendly but not unfriendly. Tried Owen in the sling for a walk into town on Thursday morning.

Worked well. He eventually fell asleep on Castle Hill on the way back so transferred him to the stroller. Late Friday afternoon we went down The Retreat to meet up with Andy as he goes down there most weeks. Howie was also there. He had one crutch but gets around at home without any. He's looking well and was on good form. On Saturday Tony came round to practice a few songs. We're planning to do Sanctuary at the next tribute night which is Iron Maiden. We baby sat in the evening as James and Amy went to see comedy at South Street. URZ lost 1 0 away to Wigan so we are now 4 points from safety. SET came over for a late lunch on Sunday.

They've been dog sitting for Keith and Fiona's dog Wilma as they've been skiing to Finland with Ewan and Charlotte. Had another call later with Anne and Wynn to disuss wedding plans.
