24/1/24 - Well, did the storm come? Wow did it hell eh? It hit us hard this time, harder than Darrah I think, or was it just a different wind direction? We were woken up sometime after 1am to a huge bang and the hammering of wind and rain against the bedroom window. Steve was convinced his car had been hit, but it wasn’t safe to out to check. We were both awake then for most of the night but I think I got more sleep than Steve. I got up around 7am, removed my shackles and was shocked to see that even though we’d put the full wheelie bin behind the gate, it was open with the bin on its side, thankfully the car was undamaged but that was some wind! Today we have no internet or landline; I guess I’ll be waiting for days to get back online now.
With the wind decreasing I got all the dogs out, it was still pretty blustery out there but a circuit around both fields for everyone was better than nothing. I wasn’t in the mood for you know who messing about so he went out on his retractable lead, so just Meerah being a bit of a diva today then!
Talking of Meerah, I’ve decided to stop giving her supper, well it’s less than 2 weeks till she’s 6 months and for the last week or so she’s been leaving breakfast, so she is obviously ready for two meals now. I must admit I’m surprised that she’s missing meals as she likes food, but as I’ve said before, being from a small litter, she doesn’t know what it’s like to be hungry.
