We need a LAW change!

NO-ONE ... and I mean NO-ONE should have to work indoors on a day like today.

It has been glorious!

Sunshine blue skies, low tide, cotton wool clouds

 ... all that was missing was ME!!

I couldn’t help but feel aggrieved as I headed down to the shop. 

Why can’t it RAIN on the days that I work.

The hound hadn’t liked having to leave the beach early either.  Even though it’s low tide, she’d found a humungous log which she’d insisted on dragging up the beach. 

 It really was HEAVY ... with a capital H.  

Even the significant other had difficulty in tossing it into the waves.

The hound of course had no problem retrieving it.

Between her antics with the log and the amorous advances of a Seagull 

... yes, a seagull ..., our time on the beach was over in a flash.  

I didn’t find Kingfishers or Herons this morning but I did capture a little White Eye up at the view-site and the rather humourous behaviour of that romantic Seagull.  

It’s not EVERY day I get hit on by a bird.

From sassy seagulls to laidback Labradors.  

Sam the Man came to visit again this morning.  He made his usual fast-paced

entrance into the shop and flung himself at my feet for a tummy rub.  

Even when he’s NOT on the beach, he’s a feet-seeking missile.

He’s one of the few males of ANY species that has me at his beck and call.

He didn’t only want a tummy rub though, he wanted the dregs of my caffeine fix too.  

Sam is more of a caffeine addict than what either his mother or I am.  

Even Pete thinks so.

I had to chuckle when Carol read me a message that Pete (under instruction from Sam) 

had sent her whilst she was away.  It went like this

“Hi Mummy, just to let you know I am really, really looking forward to you coming home.  Dad does try and he does his very best, but do you know I haven’t had a fluffy in 5 days, it’s just not the same when you are not here.  Daddy said I could stay up till you come in, he’s going back to work soon so I will have a little sleep.  Love Samuel John Joseph xxx”

I DON’T think I’m the ONLY one that Sam has at his beck and call!
