A keen walker and fan of #greyhounds #dogs, #wildlife, and the countryside.
And 1. Napping beforehand, 2. Hearing the word "beach", and 3. Relaxing afterwards.
It was (just) cool enough for a longer walk to the coast yesterday, with lots of shady rest stops.
Just because it's only me and the dog (Tigger) at the moment, doesn't mean we can't dine out.
Blimey, there's not much variation there. Looks like early morning dog walks only for the next few days.
Phew, it's getting warmer! Lots of water and shady rest stops this afternoon. We're going to have to revert to early morning walks for a few days from tomorrow in order to beat the heat.
He is pretty tall, weighs around 36kg. When I rehomed him, he was called 'Moses' which was way too biblical for me. He's a bouncy bouncy boy, and a bit stripey, hence now called Tigger
It's pretty poor that Wales was excluded when the red warning covers there as well. I only checked Cardiff, and that's extreme!
At the moment, it looks like 40C will be reached in London on Wednesday.
Hmm, Wednesday's going to be fun. Super-early dog walks this week, then.
After 9 miles walk / trot, Tigger still had lots of energy to burn when we got near to the coast (yes, he does this every time). (Excuse cackling near the beginning). #dogsofbluesky #greyhounds
Yesterday's walk to Sidmouth. A mixture of moody skies, sunshine, and showers.
