Things done

FINALLY got round to replacing the old mouldy bathroom blinds with the new ones that have been waiting for an embarrassingly long time in a cupboard.  New Superduper blinds had a strangely complex mounting system and incomprehensible instructions, but philmophlegm managed to work out how they fitted together, and I put them up.  Hurray!  

Took Duke to Tavistock shopping again, to practice walking past on-lead dogs politely.  This went pretty well.  As he also had two offlead walks today , he is now flat out.  The morning walk was a good hour and a half involving meeting a lot of other dogs (mostly very politely, though he did leap on a Jack Russell that ran up to him. No harm done, but I would have preferred that not to happen as I suspect it helps maintain the habit :-/).

No definite home offers yet.  We have now had three enquiries about him, but none of them have gone anywhere :-(

While we were in Tav. we bought AWESOME CHEESE, meat and veg.  I  thought about buying a jumper from a friendly shop that invited Duke in to help me look at jumpers, but after much agonising, decided not to .

The fire is on for the first time this autumn, and obviously Perl is taking up most of the space in front of it...

What was the AWESOME CHEESE? I'm glad Duke continues up his learning curve, despite the odd slip.

Hmm. I'm not sure I can remember the names of all the AWESOME CHEESE, but it included....

Sharpham - a very rich brie-style Devon cheese
Exmoor Blue - a nice creamy blue, a bit more mushroomy and soft than Stilton.

Withybrook - a charcoal covered goat's cheese

And something soft and white and covered in tarragon whose name I forget.

Omnomnom...

Thanks - I always mean to do more experimentation. There is a good cheese shop in Morpeth, where I tried some last year; the Northumberland Cheese Company at Blagdon have a varied range as well, and I like their crumbly cheese with a remote sharpness, but have forgotten what it is called. Perhaps Elsdon.

We have some Waterloo (soft) and some Sharpham Rustic (semi-hard, with chives and garlic).

I could do with some blimds but can never get beyond the instructions. Sounds like you're still making progress in spite of the incident with the Jack Russell.

Sounds like he is doing really well, despite the Jack Russell moment!
