Happy Monday folks! How's your day been? Mondays are my day off spent mine catching up on chores. Can't believe we're a week into July already! Last week went by in a flash, but the highlight was spending 20 mins relaxing in the evening sun with this gorgeous chap (while my other gorgeous chap was doing a run); I could have stayed there for hours 🧡

Mrs E is just about okay with me using the @LollaMac shop to receive my parcels, but now @ivan_t_dog is at it as well 😆

If you really want to say hello to @ivan_t_dog , come over and talk to me. Don't just sit at your table making silly noises. 🙄

(Is it a sub-toot when you're talking about people in the pub?)

Father's Day Curry with father-in-law cancelled due to spouse being wiped out by a migraine, so @ivan_t_dog is treating me to a Father's Day pint or two instead.

He didn't bring his wallet. Again. I'll have to dock it from his allowance.

Inside a traditional-looking pub. A large dog with a very large tongue is sitting rather too close for comfort. On the table next to him is a half full pint glass of beer.

I dread to think how much @ivan_t_dog would cost to insure if we wanted medical cover. So far Thin Blue Paw have covered the expensive treatments because they were related to issues from when he was working.

One of these days he'll let me have a beer…

The shop's been a bit quiet recently but I'm not complaining - it means I've had time to play! Using recycled copper and sterling silver, this mini collection will be paw-fect (see what I did there 😉) for any dog lovers out there. 🐾

Lovely run out with @ivan_t_dog in Salcey Forest this morning. Much drier than last time, still a few muddy patches but all with dry lines to avoid them.

Compulsory cheesy photo next to one of the Gromit signs.

Nice gentle one with @ivan_t_dog this morning. Walking the downhills because his elbows are playing up. And, to be honest, walking a lot of the uphills because my legs are aching. Quite warm when you're sheltered from the breeze, but the wind has a proper bite when you're exposed to it.

Had to come back through a field of Belted Galloways, but fortunately they were quite relaxed about us being there.

Missed out on a run yesterday so made it up with a double album run today. Started off with the joyful Stakka Bo - Supermarket, lyrics are still apt today as it was back in '93. This helped me through the forest and the sandy tracks to the beach. Where Rage Against the Machine as always kicked butt, serious air drums and screaming along to Killing in the name, Bombtrack and Bullet in the Head etc was only heard by the wind and the waves as I did nearly 3.5km all alone on the beach.

Can somebody pay off my mortgage so I can retire, please? This sounds ideal for me and @ivan_t_dog

He said, 'Snacks?! Did someone say snacks? Where? Where's mine?'
