Today we went into town with Elanor. She’d stayed overnight, with Sally, whose behaviour continues to improve; it’s a positive pleasure to walk her now. She still tends to bark loudly if startled, but this seems to be getting better as well.
The main reason for the trip was to get eye tests; I was fine, but Sheila will need new glasses. Rather than mess around when we’re about to move off, we’ll wait until we’re sorted in Great Haywood and take the bus into Stafford, probably.
We took the opportunity to get some other stuff, like a dog bowl for Sally to drink out of when she visits us, and a new pair of locking gloves for me.
Back at the boat, we put it all away and settled down to recover from our exertions. Tomorrow, one last trip to the surgery for me, hopefully, and we’re going to see Sally at agility classes in the evening. Then on Friday, we’ll set off North and West again.

Locking gloves ??!! WUSS !!!
Ho, ho! If I wore them all the time, I'd agree, though for folk who only boat occasionally they can be a good idea. It was the woman I saw once wearing Marigolds that boggled me :)
It's in the winter that I need them – after the early morning frost the other day, I found myself trying to hold a frozen centre line with icy spikes down its length, and that was not funny.
All the best

As you have a prescription why not get your glasses from t'internet? I use www.selectspecs.com and save a fortune on high street prices. Almost a disposable item.
