What do you do when 5 little girls from local school
Walk up the path and ask you to sponsor them
I had to say I'm sorry there's to many of you
I usually say £1-00
But for 5

It's been lovely to watch hasn't it Saundra, John was pointing out places he's cycled. One route they were on the other day formed part of the coast to coast event he organised for charity which he and his work colleagues cycled.

I think Joe's quite liking this college lark!
This week he went in on Monday, supposedly for a full day, and was home at lunchtime. Tuesday was 1.30pm-4.45pm. He was home just after 3. Today was 1.30pm-3.45pm. He was home by 3 again. Tomorrow is a full day but as the clothing they need for practical sessions (and Thursday is an all day practical) hasn't arrived yet, they haven't got to go in at all. Friday is a day off anyway so that's his first week over

Ton, you've got to factor in a 30 minute bus journey on the way home too

Jack the Dalmation two doors down really worries me

He was apparently fine until they moved here and left him in kennels for the night before they moved in. He's now really disturbed. Whenever anyone walks past the house he launches himself at the window, barking and clawing at the glass. Billy whimpers when he does it whenever we walk past. He once escaped as we walked by, circled us and managed to bite Bill on the leg before his owners could catch him. Today he was outside of his house on his lead when we went out for a walk so I crossed over to give him some space and he went berserk. He was barking and growling and pulling David, his owner, into the road to try and get to us. Honestly, if he hadn't managed to keep hold of him I think he'd have ripped Billy to bits and I wouldn't have fancied my chances either.

That's scary Jo and not pleasant for any of you - but sounds similar to next doors mad boxer - he hates me with a vengeance.

Next time he launches himself at the fence, he'll be squirted with a mixture of washing up liquid and vinegar. The owners have been told..............

[Kaz]

That's scary Jo, especially as he has proved he's vicious by biting poor Billy If he was 'just' noisy that's one thing, but he's got 'form'

Ton, hopefully that squirter will do the trick! xx
