General Witterings -
A Woof on Rosy

When the Laird of Strathnaver recovered from our night out, he packed his bags, and disappeared off to Strathnaver, leaving Jess the Woof with me, and hoping to bring back a puppy for me.  I say 'hoping' as he doesn't yet know ('cos he hasn't yet asked) the birth date of the litter, and they might be too young to be separated.  If this is so, he will come woofless to Briare, but return to Scotland in a week or whatever, when they ARE old enough.  Jess is now two years old, and is much less active than she was six months ago - she now snoozes during the day.  She also needs a shower and shampoo once a week to counter eczema.

All the boats in the Port de Plaisance in Briare are having to leave the basin, as it is to be emptied (for two weeks in early November) for cleaning.  We are all moving to the pound above the lock.  I've been helping out by towing a couple of engineless boats.  Rosy and Falcon will move up to their new temporary moorings tomorrow (Monday).

Er ... that's about it!!

Toodle pip!!
