dog sitting

Hello everyone,

Not a lot to say tonight. Tired as. Been really busy at work. There is only so many tons that anyone can move in an hour. Did 6 containers today and one Road Tractor.

Been super windy here in WA for the last 3 days. We had a 43kph gust a couple of days ago and a 41 kph this morning early. Steady at around 15-25. Plays havoc with the mind all that whistling, creaking, groaning and paper flying. I quit riding the bike when the second day that the winds kept up. Not fun riding home into a 20kph wind after a long day.

Last weekend along with all the night people I visited friend Gavin. I have been working for Gavin off and on for at least a year now. Strong Back, weak mind stuff. He is building a 6X10 meter garage. Last weekend we painted the insides. This weekend I will go up and paint the outside while Gav is off to Darwin for Spiritual matters. Meanwhile I am Dog sitting his pooch, Cookie. Cookie is white, curly ShiatsuMaltise something. Gavin could tell me. Anywhay, cute as. Gavin bought him a warm jacket so he won't get cold while he is here. He is just absoultely gorgous in it. Cookie was very happy to see me tonight when I came home.

He is training me quickly too. This morning I scooped him up just after the alarm went off and put him outside to go toilet. He didn't even get off the stoop. Sat there and barked at me to be let back in, ha ha ha. I was running early so I took him for walk so he could mark the neighborhood. Then this evening after a bit of a run about in the back yard we went to do some shopping. I tied him to a rack outside the PO and asked him to just STAY. Wow, I don't think he moved at all while I was gone. Same at the produce store. Some people tried to engage him in conversation and he wouldn't have a bar of it.

He has found a couple of fav sleeping spots. One is just under the edge of my bed. I stepped on him returning from my own 3 am toilet run. The second is an IKEA chair that is just the right height for him to jump onto.

Not cold enough for me to need him in bed and I am not sure who would be warming whom.

Well, enough from me. I am off to an early bed.

peace

may you be well and happy
