Posted on March 16, 2014 by Gary

Today we went to Frensham and went on Carmen’s Last Walk around the pond. Mirinda pointed out all the spots where they stopped last Saturday. The day was glorious and made a fitting farewell to my lovely Carmelita. A lot … Continue reading →

Another freezing day

Posted on March 24, 2013 by Gary

While we didn’t have any snow down our way today, the temperature didn’t bother rising above zero. In the wind (a wind from Scandinavia, apparently) it was well below zero. It wasn’t the nicest walk into Farnham, particularly when the … Continue reading →

Not Ada Day

Posted on October 7, 2012 by Gary

Last year, today was Ada Lovelace Day, patron saint of female scientists, having moved from March. This year, it has moved to 16 October. I’m beginning to think it’s like Easter and moves arbitrarily with the phases of the moon. … Continue reading →

Sore feet

Posted on February 20, 2012 by Gary

Today was about travelling. It started in Canary Wharf with a lovely ferry ride with Mirinda where we sat outside and enjoyed the morning Thames along with the other happy commuters. It really is the best way to travel to … Continue reading →

Poodles -v- Swans

Posted on January 22, 2012 by Gary

It’s not exactly what you’d describe as the most evenly matched battle but then it wasn’t a match suggested by the swans. I’m pretty sure it was all Carmen’s idea and even Day-z was along for the ride. Clearly smarter … Continue reading →

Pond life

Posted on March 12, 2011 by Gary

This morning we were sitting on the newly cleaned patio furniture that Carmen had decided to decorate with her paw prints, when Mirinda said, “Let’s go to Frensham.” This set poodle hearts a-racing. Mirinda went upstairs to change while I … Continue reading →

The long walk…again

Posted on March 2, 2011 by Gary

Last May (the 18th to be precise) I took the bus out to Frensham kennels to collect the dogs and then made the long walk home. Well, I did it again today. While the day started grey, I had been … Continue reading →

Swans can be deceptive

Posted on February 12, 2011 by Gary

Almost at the end of our walk around Frensham Little Pond today, Carmen decided to jump into the pond, off a high brick wall, in order to attack a pair of full size swans who were placidly wading around. When … Continue reading →
