I've just been for a strot with my Beast. We're trying to make a habit of going for a daily walk, if we can, particularly since he's working from home four days a week and doesn't, therefore, get his exercise going to work/the station as he used to. It was a strot because I won't walk fast enough for his natural high-speed trot, but it was a little too vigorous to be a stroll.

I do love autumn, on a bright blue-skyed day with the sun low in the sky. The trees are suddenly gorgeous - it seems like only last weekend that I was bemoaning the way the trees are still green, but now, there are autumn colours. I took my camera with me on yesterday's walk. Lovely stuff. There's an expanse of field not far from our house, apparently managed for people to walk on, as there are mown paths winding between long grass and wired-off areas of saplings. Muddy, but that's what wellies are for. Many happy dogs hurtling about.

In other news, I see there are nine of us already signed up for Camp Sparkle. Yay!

And now, I shall have to make an attempt at my DWNOGA story. OMG. At least, I have an idea, now I gotta write the bugger.

Gibbering abounds.

Strot is an awesome word!

We had sun today too but there are no leaves left on the trees here at all now, but as long as the sun shines I'm not complaining.

I got my sparkly mug yesterday!!! (Or rather Friday but I was too busy to get it at the post office - it was to big for the small opening of my letterbox. Sadly enough it had had an accident though and was broken *sniffle* Three big pieces, some smaller pieces and sadly one these was just about smashed into dust. They really must have stomped on it or something!! I'm going to try and reconstruct it so that I can at least put it on the swag shelf even if I can't use it. I just have to buy some superglue 'cause I can't uncork the small tube I've got at home - I think it was too long since I used it last.

Oh, much sadness and woe! :-( I was rather proud of it, too. Hmph. And I stuffed that thing with shreds, too.

*mutters imprecations at post offices internationally*

I was so angry at the post office(s) when I'd opened it and saw what had happened!!

PS Lancecat really liked the shreds, I had to forcibly remove him from the kitchen counter two times when I was opening the box. I did give him a small amount to play with though. He spread it all over the kitchen floor :-)
