Diary Entry from Thursday, September 15, 2016

15/09/2016 Douglas 4 Comments

Day 21 Atherstone – Tamworth.

It was misty and cooler this morning and I didn’t manage to get my walk first thing as usual. The bearded one, ignoring me, was busy talking and catching up with his son Noah. He stayed with us last night and it seems he is a very busy man with exciting developments on his work front.
They had a good supper last night at The Kings Head, I joined them under their table but got nothing.
I took my bearded one for a walk after his son had left for work and later I collected my long haired one too and we all went in to the little town of Atherstone, we spent the morning there, they liked it very much. My long haired one did some provisioning and my bearded one bought some more essential gadgets for my long kennel, notably a hand operated pump (to help clean my bilge in areas where the electric pump doesn’t reach – apparently!) I enjoyed the exercise anyway. It was sandwiches and soup at the helm for lunch as we left our mooring at The Kings Head and our first challenge was a further six locks of the Atherstone flight. I enjoyed this particularly as they were in three groups of two separated by a decent walk with my long haired one between each pair. All the while the sun was struggling to break through the mist with tantalizing periods of warmth. It finally made it as we decided to moor at Tamworth above the Glascote locks which we will save until the morning. My picture today is to show you who is Captain. Love Douglas x

    Hi Bruv – you seem to be having a wonderful time – but we are not so sure about starving under the table – wouldn’t do for us – we even have our own table mat. Now our Captn says are you sure your Captain isn’t playing truant or got a double because he thinks he saw him at the Noche del Vino shovelling tons of rice to feed the masses (whoever they are). He says you can see him quite plainly at 1:40 – in his painters hat and beard and glasses! https://youtu.be/DRSpzDIGKaY
    Some people do anything for free wine and scoff. This needs a bit of nosing out……..

    HI Douglas –

    Well don’t you look the part in your photo! Anyone would think you did all the work too . . .

    I did comment on your last entry but it got lost somewhere. I was sorry to hear that you didn’t manage to get the gerbil – although I managed to get a mouse that same evening. Sadly, Mummy and Daddy weren’t too impressed. I also sent a message from Mummy and Daddy to Little No-Noes – whoever that is – but that must have got lost too.

    Mummy has a stiff neck and back after her fall but is getting better. I sit next to her and occasionally purr in her ear to make her realise that I sympathise. I think she likes it.

    Daddy is fed up because he wanted to play golf today but the weather is too bad. Tough.

    Lovr and scratches

      Yes, missed the clip. I think my bearded one slipped away to stir the rice. Looked like a good party.
      Love Douglas

    I am sorry your messages didn’t arrive but this one did clearly as I am replying to it! I did not know your mummy had had a fall please let my carers know by email maybe obviously they would like a bulletin. I am sorry that your daddy couldn’t play golf – too bad. It is windy here today and that would, with his slice, make it very difficult.
    Love Douglas
