Cows

Today was certainly a cow day, up early as John H was coming to fix the new water tank in, breakfast and ready by 0930h. John arrived and after I attempted two telephone calls (neither successful) decided to take Ruaridh for his morning constitutional! Dilema were to go as the road was taken over by cows, set off through the field and put the wee fellow on the lead as I had made a decision to go east along the river and past the cows. he behaved as did the cows.
Walked along the river and Ruaridh had a great time sniffing for rabbits, into the field what a mistake, I had seen two cows standing but didn't realise there were any laid down, as soon as they saw us they stood up, Ruaridh rushed to them barking managed to grab him and put on his lead then as the cows were running towards us and appeared very determined, we two decided to run for it. Amazed at my agility as I cleared a fence in double quick time dragging poor Ruaridh with me, here the lead cows stumbled, I then attempted to shoo them back they were having none of it so we made our way home-phew!
Made my complaint No3 telephone call this time re the window, had lunch then upstairs to paint the said window before it goes in situ tomorrow! Prior to this Ruaridh had disappeared again on another adventure, don't know where he was but talk about a tired dog when he returned!
Made dinner chilli and rice with Syrian flat breads for when Graham arrived home, this was about 1900h, when we ate it was delicious.
The family appear to be fine, mum OK still a problem with her toe!
Very tired cup of tea then bed. Goodnight.
