A big brave boy



Yesterday Max had his bandage removed so that his wounds could dry out a little quicker. He spent a lot of the day licking his damaged paw but otherwise he is fine. We were both very proud at his stoic behaviour as the nurse removed the dressing and fiddled with his stitches. Despite his scary appearance he is such a gentle dog. Who's a big brave boy?
On a similar theme, Chris sent me this link which we both thought very funny. Dressing up your scary dog to look like a French poodle gave us a good laugh.

I spent a large part of the afternoon sitting around whilst they fixed the car window. What was promised to be a 1 hour job turned into 2.5 hours as they uncovered a further problem. Ah well, at least they cleaned the car so it was nice and shiny as I drove away.

What was meant to be a relatively quiet barbecue turned into dinner for 12, after yours truly invited lots of extra guests in a moment of thoughtlessness (let's be honest, you were pissed - Ed.). Jan, as usual, was the star, producing stuffed peppers to start, and array of scrummy salads to go with my barbecued lamb, as well as chicken kebabs, cheese and poached peaches for pudding. Let's just say we got through a lot of wine.
