Those dratted dogs

Two large brown jobs greeted me this morning in the kitchen, though I had a rest from anything yesterday. I cleared them up, had my cup of coffee and then had a shower. As I dressed I heard a big bang and could hear the dogs playing downstairs. Goldie and Leavy had managed to get down the large plastic container of treats that is in a cupboard in the kitchen and were helping themselves to them....

Later in the day Leavy escaped 3 times, on one occasion getting as far as the river car park before she was found. She is very obedient and comes straight away when called, but is a bit too nimble to be held into our garden. What fun! Pippa rebelled today and refused to come out of the water when on her walk - she had to have a noose dangled around her to fetch her back in.

Yesterday B decided to go up to the attic to search for the dog guard for the car. Imagine his surprise when he couldn't open the attic hatch and found polystyrene balls falling down on him. It seems as if this job we got done before Christmas extended from the walls into the attic and we probably have huge quantities of polystyrene all over it. At the moment we can't even get in to see it. The guy who did the job is coming to explore it next week. The stuff in the attic isn't very valuable, but the water tank could do without having polystyrene filling it up.

So, another working week over. Tomorrow is school committee day. B is bringing the dogs down to Waterford so that Ian can meet Leavy and bring her for a run on the beach.

And several people have warned me of the danger that polystyrene can melt the insulation of the wiring (lights, alarm) in the attic.
