As we were walking along the road yesterday a nun passed by in her car, stopped and rolled down her window saying: "I know that dog! Did he escape last Sunday?" Thinking a moment I confirmed that he had. "He came visiting us at Mass! He's lovely dog isn't he?"
So there was me telling the dog for getting up to nothing but mischief and it turns out he went to church confessing his sins! Come to think of it I'm sure I've noticed a tiny halo above his head since then. If you enlarge the photo below, see if you can't spot it.
(...not to mention the dog collar... I think he may be destined for the ministry...)The weather for most of the week was quite good, but last night we had severe storms and it's a grey rainy one again today.
Getting on top of most of the autumn tidy-up jobs, I've had a go at our Earthship once again. I restarted my initial efforts as I hadn't filled the rims of the tyres properly with earth. I have excavated a large useless corner at the back, which provided me with the earth to fill the tyres and will give me space for the foundations. The foundation wall is now 10 tyres long and 2 tyres tall as you can see. There's room for a further 4 or 5 tyres lengthways once I have completely excavated that corner.
Now I only need more tyres. This is the problem, you see. Whilst the actual building material is free, it isn't free to transport them to our land...Susan in the meantime is keeping herself warm in these nippier temperatures by tidying up around the wilder edges of our land.
