GPS

The other day, Daddy bought a keyring GPS to measure how far I 'walk' compared with him. He bought it on eBay.

I wore it for the first time on our recent walk up Dow Crag and Coniston Old Man and the results show that I walked 3 times as much as Daddy on Walna Scar (open ground). Funnily enough, Evan Davis was on yesterday's Saturday PM programme on radio 4 saying the same thing. Overall I did 2 times as much from the start to Goat's Water. Daddy had to take it off then because of my love of swimming! It doesn't look as though you can download my route, which is a shame, but here is Daddy's. Notice the Brocken spectre at the top of the Old Man. Daddy got really excited when he saw this.

The Dog's B*ll*cks!

Came across a lady this morning with her dog, as one does. The dog had a ball in his mouth, as I had. The lady said we both had balls. I wasn't sure what she was referring to.

Then Stephen Fry was talking at lunchtime on "Fry's English Delight" on radio 4 about cliches and the derivation of the phrase "the Dog's B*ll*cks". You can see further suggestions here: http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3019. I am now totally confused.

And for your amusement, here are some interesting piccies: http://www.400smilesaday.co.uk/.

Annoyed

I wish Daddy wouldn't listen to Counterpoint on Radio 4. It has a bell which just sounds like the front door bell and I wonder why he doesn't answer it!

Pets Get Slim campaign

Oh dear! Daddy was listening to the Today programme this morning and there was an item on the RSPCA Pets Get Slim Campaign. I hope he doesn't cut back on my food. I need all I can get while I am growing up!
