Wed 13th Jan

Woke around the usual time and did my online stuff, as per, ant came down and we had coffee together. We decided that after lunch we would take the dogs for a nice long walk, then David phoned to tell us Mark had gone into hospital again so we arranged to take him to the supermarket in Hesdin. At the supermarket David bought a ton of cat food for their myriad of cats and i bought some dogs shampoo since our girls are starting to get a bit smelly. We didn't stop for coffee but headed home, changed our shoes and headed out on our long walk, which was quite enjoyable if a little cold. We were out walking for about two hours, when we got home i put the dinner on, a nice chicken curry, and left it to simmer whilst ant started the fire.
Bath time for the dogs, well shower time really, Ruby first and then Banjo, i am not sure what they think of being showered but they stand there like stunned mullets whilst you are showering them, they did smell wonderful afterward and Ruby was soo soft and cuddleable. The curry was most enjoyable, with a glass or two of wine, a nan bread each and a little rice, ant and i sat and chatted for a while and then he said he would like to watch Early Doors, so i sent him up to find the dvd and we settled in to the sofa, it took a little rejigging of cushions to get the four of us on comfortably but we managed. We also managed to get nicely merry without falling out, so that was an achievement, we did however open a pack of smokes and spend the night smoking, the packet will be gone tomorrow so we will be back to no choice.
So after a most enjoyable evening we all headed up to bed, another day closer to going to aus!
