4 stages of making friends

Gallivanted around enough last few days. So stayed local. Went to Boscombe for bread and flat-whites. Saw this adorable 4 year old poodle/maltese mix (‘maltipoo’), with the cutest, tiniest face.

Took a while, but eventually made friends. We ended up chatting to the owners ( British & Ukranian - the doggie arrived with her from Ukraine 5 years ago), and another couple with them (Italian & Maltese).

Then home. Quick tea with G upstairs. Now watching B/W movies on Talking Pictures. Feeling a liitle colder. The maltipoo’s coat should keep him warm if we do get colder weather next week
