Trainees, open eye and last of the light.
1. Two guide dog puppies (long legs and big paws) in the shopping centre. The yellow one watches the tip of a furled umbrella carried by a woman walking past. He tries so hard to leave it, but at last can't resist having a chew. The black dog fails by stretching up to grab a shopping bag.
2. We are doing self-portraits in art. I liked drawing a practice eye and suddenly finding that it was looking at me.
3. Nick is not amused when I call him away from his baseball to walk back up the hill and look at the sunset. 'I've been walking down this road for 20 years. I know about the sunsets.' But this one is particularly good -- the edges of the clouds shine as if they have been heated to white hot.

Oooh, never come between a man and his baseball! You risk the loss of limbs ;-)
ReplyDeleteI once drove too fast down a winding road in Spain, overtaking when I should not have done. I was stopped by the police and fined on the spot. My reason for this bad behaviour, which I did not offer as an excuse to the policeman, was that I was hurrying to see the sunset from particular vantage point further down the road.
ReplyDeleteAnd was the sunset worth it? Or did the police make you miss it?
ReplyDeleteoh 2 guide dogs - are there any more special??sk
ReplyDeleteMy husband's nephew and his wife have adopted a "failed" guide dog. It is wonderful, and a good companion to their other,elderly labrador, adopted when her owner died. There is always a home somewhere for life's "misfits" and abandonned companions!
ReplyDeleteThanks for cheering me up today
