Ball .... drink ???

The offending ball!

Ball .... drink??  Ball .... drink???   .... my hound’s dilemma this morning!!  I could actually see her processing the thoughts in her head as she looked at the rugby ball that she’d dropped on the water bowl outside the coffee shop.  Pete and I, were in stitches!!  I’d been kicking the ball up the road for her whilst waiting for Gav to get our coffee ... she’d got tired and thirsty and decided she needed a drink so she headed for the water bowl outside the coffee shop ....... dropped the ball onto the bowl ..... then tried to drink the water .....

Eager beaver!!

The look on her face was priceless as she tried to work out how to drink the water when the ball was covering the bowl ...... hmmmmm ..... talk about embarrassment!  I guess our laughter didn’t help.

You can tell it’s only a week to go before RWC starts ... so many people are driving around with flags attached to their car windows and a lot of them have been English flags!!  I tried to get a Welsh flag for my car this morning and none of the shops had any ... don’t they think there are any Welsh supporters in New Zealand??  We managed to get a South African one so at least I can be half patriotic ... and no, I am NOT buying a New Zealand one!
