dog day

Pearl, the female black labrador joined our family today.  i suspect life is going to be a bit different for a while!

jane went off for a run first thing this morning (and her legs didn’t fall off so that was good).  then we drove for an hour across to the other side of Auckland to pick up Pearl.

we spent a little time chatting with the breeders then drove back home to introduce her to her new facilities

so far she’s been really good, doing the necessary things outside rather than inside which is great.  she sleeps in a long flat way, like a seal wherever she fancies lying down which is rather entertaining. 

she seems to have 10 minute bursts of excitement then sleeps for ages

this afternoon i spent a few hours at church setting up the new trial speaker systems.  i’ve a hurty back but other than that it was we had a really good afternoon and the new speakers sounded good.  we’ll have to see how they go tomorrow morning of course.

our clocks change tonight so for a short while we’ll be 12 hours different from the UK.  just so you know.
