Big walk with doggo today where he surpassed himself by rolling in something very dead and very foul and then ran away to eat horse manure before finally rolling in that too. He stank. I tried to walk in front of him so he was downwind, but for the first time in his life he was determined to walk to heel. I showed no mercy and hosed him down when we returned home, leaving him tethered to the bench to dry off where he barked mournfully.

My head has been full of work all day, but I find that I get easily distracted by housework. Washing up, putting clothes on to wash, hanging them out to dry, wondering what I should cook for dinner, wondering what to eat for lunch, thinking I should really sort through the obscene amount of coats that hang from 3 hooks in the hall - wondering how long those hooks will last if I don't do it soon... Still progress was made. Of sorts.

Murron returned home happily declaring that her teacher was thrilled I had offered to help out on the school trip tomorrow. I hadn't, but Murron had. On my behalf. No work tomorrow then...
