Soggy Thursday

5th January 2023


I've been busy rattling off about dogs for the past while and I overlooked my 2 month back in South Africa and it feels like I've been here for ages. There's certainly been more rain here in that time and today it poured again.  Then the sun came out, then it rained again.



I went to a local retail park to meet up with a friend who I hadn't seen since before I left for the UK. The rain came down heavily for about 10 minutes and we'd ended up parking side by side round the back entrance.  Fortunately we arrived and left when it was dry and we had a lovely catch up.  I had gone to the sportswear store before our lunch and the January sales have started. Unfortunately the sales aren't like the UK ones and I came away empty handed, which is probably a good thing.


Rusty was eager to get to the park but we still had an hour before Apollo got there. So he sat fidgeting  while the tail end of the storm passed over. We set off taking the long way around to get some of the excess energy off. The reunion started 400m away again and my heart warms up seeing the two dogs tumble and play with absolute delight.  Apollo got distracted by a stick though so Rusty stayed patient until we stopped right in front of Apollo's house where they had a mad dash, last minute romp.



Exercises done we made our way back where both cats popped in and out dodging another rain shower. I missed my afternoon snooze so I think I might be asleep earlier than usual tonight,  lol!
