Hiss

I've been terrible in terms of getting out running over the last month. This morning I'd planned a few miles along the canal, but somehow yesterday I jarred my back so I walked instead.

Flying things scare the bejesus out of me, and geese and swans even more. If I'd been running I would have slowed to a walk so as not to scare them. One did hiss at me as I went past - perhaps he's extra grumpy around the Xmas season?!

This afternoon we visited our soon to be new family member at the RSPCA a lovely Patterdale terrier cross who is mad as toast - a visit from the RSPCA tomorrow to inspect us and hopefully we can fix a date to bring him home soon (and take lots and lots of photos!)
