Watch dogs

A dull old day today with hardly a glimpse of the sun. We walked downtown as usual for a paper and odd bits of shopping and met a friend who is totally opposed to my dislike of weeds growing along the streets and gutters. She loves them. I asked her if she'd seen the Regent Hotel - the front has been painted recently, but the back, which can be seen from the main street, is unpainted in ages, the rough cast is falling off and shrubs are growing out of the gutters and downpipes. She said she loves it - anywhere abroad like Portugal (she said) and it would seem romantic. Have a look at the extra and see if you agree! Maybe I'm being fussy!

Couldn't find anything wildly snappable, so went for this man, son and dogs group - I suspect that Mum has gone shopping further up the street!

Came back for a cuppa and cat on the deck again and then walked down the street to have a look at something and met a neighbour - that was another twenty minutes gone!
