Andrew has worked it out. (edited twice)
Woof woof meow.
Good morning
I'm going to be clock watching today. I won't be going anywhere because I am cat sitting and dog sitting. Janet will be back later, and Carol has gone out, so I will be looking after Billy Dog.
Billy is a star, he is on Gooooogle street maps. I see from my blog posts that I have been walking him for six years.
After losing Rocky dog I could not take on another dog full time, so it's best that I borrow one. Billy is perfect. He has a loving home and lives close by.

Fancy a pickled onion?
It has been very hot today, the summer is back.
This afternoon I went to The Range to stock up on cat food. I am getting through lots of Kitten Purina dry nibbles. The cats, the hedgehogs, and the birds all eat it. At £15 a bag, and I got three, feeding pets and wildlife can become a bit expensive.
The Range is on a Retail Park, in close proximity to the two Industrial Estates where I pick litter. So it's easy to combine journeys. I spent an hour today at Flixborough Industrial Estate. Anybody fancy a pickled onion. Found in that hedge bottom on the right there, with a lot of other hidden rubbish. I have already done this road a week ago, but there is always more to find.
Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip. ilona

Visiting a landfill site.
As an antidote to this, I did a couple of hours of litter picking on the Industrial Estate. A dead end road with no one there. Trolley loaded up and a red bag left with the previous one I filled, at the pond, awaiting collection.

Another letter from my penfriend

16 decorated circles.
There will be an Open Exhibition at the 20 21 Arts Centre in town, later in the year. I might enter it in that.
Time to get the hedgehog food out. I mowed the lawns this afternoon and the garden looks lovely.
Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip. ilona

An interview worth watching.
Jonathan Marshall has been a professional falconer and horse trainer since 1985. He has performed at some of the largest outdoor events in the world and has entertained audiences of up to tens of thousands at a time. His Free Spirits live experience is totally unique and includes stunning horses and falcons which work together in a carefully choreographed performance.
As a motivational speaker and story teller Jonathan is considered a master. He can hold the attention of any crowd and have them rolling with laughter one minute and crying with emotion in the next. In recent years it became increasingly obvious that it was Jonathan's ability as a communicator that was his gift and by using his horses and falcons he continues to spread his powerful message at his live performances and personal appearances.
