Well Lola's leg as still been holding up well so we've continued to visit the beach on a Saturday morning.  We were treated to an absolutely stunning morning today.

Spring has mostly been sunny and dry but often a bit windy and always a chill in the air.  Today was almost t-shirt weather and that was just after 7am.

Lola's in desperate need for a groom but we love it when she gets all fluffy.  She's booked in for later in the month.  Once again I didn't book in advance and the groomer is jolly busy at the moment.

We usually walk to the north where there seems to be fewer opportunities for her to find something rotten to roll in!  The smellier the better it seems, as far as she's concerned.

I've been trying to get out for air more as the degree work seems to take a huge amount of time at the moment.  Another item of coursework due in just over a week.  I'm sort of on course, definitely not behind, but have been struggling to get motivation to write.  I get easily distracted with the more practical items.  My aim is to be done by the end of this week however so I can enjoy the long holiday weekend.
