White Spirit Mornings and Soggy afternoons

White Spirit Mornings and Soggy afternoons

Well, I would have liked to start my day with tea, but, I woke to the sound of Henry licking licking licking something – now I love my baby Labrador (well he’s nearly 5 years old, but still a baby), however he can be dumb as a box of frogs – so, suspicious, I went to investigate.

This week so far he has eaten a perfume tester resulting in much turmoil, and chewed up the lid to one of our lunch boxes, as well as having snapped his extendable lead, so it was with these acts of mischief in mind I went to find Henry. So, as we are decorating our home (very very slowly) there are unlikely articles around, and he had managed to put his paw into a high up glass containing a paint brush and white spirits – he was attempting to cover the act up (who knew labradors like to climb). So my morning actually started with a large bowl of soapy water and much cleaning of a chocolate paw…….after a call to find out what I should be doing and if I should be panicking.

He then smelt of lavender washing up liquid and went to sleep on a chair. Clearly exhausted by the excitement. After my tea, I took Henry, Harry and out current houseguest Mia (a Bijon we are looking after whilst my cousin is on holiday) for a walk by the river to ensure Henry really did lose all of the nasty substance.

Then I finally got another  tea, and breakfast in the form of a mushroom omlette with a slice of Leedhammer light (3 syns) on top.

I then quickly popped to Pets at Home to get Henry and Harrys food, bought Harry a new bed and rushed home to go to the gym. An hour of running and resistance training in the gym (I usually run outside but the combination of rain and mud pushed me towards the gym today) and by the time I got home it was 4.20pm – why do weekend days go SO fast? Well I hadn’t had anything to eat since breakfast so I grabbed a quick apple – but up with my lovely segmenting thing – still love that (apparently someone I work with uses the apple  segmenter to create potato wedges – I may try that).

Anyway, I was pretty sweaty so a long cold drink, one more tea, and a hot bath followed before I made our dinner and settled down to watch Strictly.

Dinner was paprika pork from the SW family feasts on a budget cook book – and very yummy it was too. No syns in dinner, no syns in my yogurt pudding, so plenty left for an options before bed. 

Sweet dreams and hope the storm tomorrow doesn’t do too much damage where you are x
