Grey day all round

It was grey when we woke up and it just got steadily worse as the day went on.

Chester was pestered - I should say attacked, but trying to keep things in perspective as well as trying to be kind and generous - by a jack Russell/terrier on our morning walk. I wish people who can't control their dogs would keep them on the lead!! This thing literally jumped at Chester ... Bit into his side and just would not let go! Owner very apologetic and asking if I and Chester were ok...I was too angry to talk to him, I just walked away.... There doesn't seem to be any blood or wounds anywhere on Chester but he's looking rather depressed and nervous.

Visited my friend this afternoon, who lost her mum on Friday ... One of those occasion where you only too aware that whatever you say just doesn't really help. ...
