A walk

After our usual lunch of home made soupit was a great idea.... the walk to the River shops at the bottom of the hill in Aireys Inlet. We planned to walk there borrow some videos and stop in at the book shop then walk back up the hill buy some meat for dinner and back for a relaxing afternoon/evening.

The walk down to the shops went as well as can be expected. Through diverse areas of Aireys, along the path through the trees by the community centre, past the top shops and then down through the area lovely nature reserve that has great views of the lighthouse
Everything was going really well and we tethered the dogs outside the video library and began to peruse the shelves with a view to making an interesting selection. The dogs seemed a little agitated but then they believe that they are human and should be with us all the time. Next thing we see is Spencer proudly trotting into the video library. Little beast had chewed through his lead and made his way to be with us leaving Sponty-the dog that makes a fast get away; the dog that we are minding for Wendy; the dog that is the light of Wendy's life; the dog that Wendy has given us funds to have cremated as he is old and she is not sure that he will last until she comes back from her touring. However we don't think Wendy would be very understanding if Sponty was lost, wandering around and subsequently run over. The self same Sponty was sitting outside the video library watching where Spencer had gone. Spencer was brought out of the shop and the chewed apart lead was reattached and Michele completed our selections. I managed the two dogs while she did a superficial look in the book shop.

We then made our way back up the hill, back through the nature reserve
and to the top shops only to find no meat available in the store so we went home and made do with what was in the freezer.
