Another lazy day at Tixall

It's been really good to have these couple of days doing not very much here at Tixall Wide, even if it leaves me short of things to blog about. We'll be frantic enough for the second half of the month, rigging the IWA Waterways Festival, so it makes sense just to, I was going to say chill, but that's not appropriate in this heat, to kick back and loaf for a bit.

We had a report from Elanor yesterday about Sally's performance at the latest agility demo. This was a Labradoodle Trust fun day and dog show, at which Capable Canines were doing a demo. By the sound of things, this went better as far as Sally was concerned than last time; she still gets a bit excited but was less inclined to abandon the ring to go and visit the rest of the show.

Elanor also entered her for some of the show classes, and took a fifth for longest tail, and another for best rescue dog. Here are some photos I took the other day of her:

Today, we made a lazy start, then ambled round to the village for a paper and for some new potatoes - it's going to be salad again tonight.

Typically, it looks like the weather is going to break tomorrow, just as we're setting off back to Alrewas.

Heigh ho, can't have everything, I guess.
