Well as the title says it's somewhat dark and stormy this evening. It's been raining for nearly the last two hours solid and yet people around the estate are still setting off fireworks. Which means Owen has been going absolutely loopey as we've discovered he really, really doesn't like fireworks at all.
Speaking of Owen he and Grumpy are going to have to keep going to training as today was supposed to be his last lesson but when it came to the final test where he had to sit, then lie down and stay for a full minute he decided to be somewhat difficult. He did sit on command but when Grumpy gave him the command to lie down he decided to charge of down the hall they were in, setting all the other dogs off and leaving Grumpy to race after him and try and catch him.
Unsurprisingly the teacher declined to pass him.
Loughborough was quite busy this morning which was annoying as I had to rush round quite a few different shops to pick up a few bits and pieces but on the plus side the shopping was cheaper then usual. Mainly as I'm not going to be here next week so I didn't need to get as much food in.
Asides from that it's been another pretty quiet day. I did finally finish the book I bought last week. I've been exceptionally good with this one and tried to make it last as long as possible as I know the next one in the series isn' out until 2010! However a spin off novel from the main series is released next year so that should keep me busy. The downside to this series is you have to wait ages to get them in the UK as it's not released in the UK and they have to bring in copies from the USA. I've also discovered that their about to release a online game based on the series which is looking very interesting, plus they also do a minatures game based on the series as well which seemed brilliant until I found out that it's also done in the USA and the only place you can get it in the UK are at specialist games suppliers which of course sell it for stupid amounts of money as it's a import. Oh well I guess painting my very own manticorian fleet will have to wait until after Christmas when I will have some spare money again. Well I can guess I can read the whole series from the start again. Might keep me busy for a week or two :-)
so later folks!
