8.30 am Visited the pugs. Graeme eventually got Cho to settle for a “sit” on his lap – almost like old times. The grass in the enclosure is VERY long now, but the problem is that whatever tool is brought in to cut the grass, must stay there for another 4 months i.e. until the end of the quarantine period. Arthur March found one of the old tools that were used years ago – a genuine scythe. (He handled it like a pro!) Even the cut grass may not be removed - it has to be piled up in one corner until the end of May. They will then send sheep in to the enclosure to take care of the grass.
6.00 pm caught the bus to the lace making class. Experienced another incident of Island caring. The third lady that usually catches the bus to the lace making class, was not waiting at her stop. So, very quietly and calmly, just in case he was a tad early, Stedson (the driver) turned the bus around and went up a VERY narrow windy road, right up to her gate (Everyone knows where everyone lives). He stopped, and the other lady on the bus got out and went to check whether she was coming or not…. Apparently, she had phoned to say that she would not be coming, but the message never reached the driver. Drivers like Stedson are rare people.
I tried to learn the second basic lace making stitch…. Wanda said that I could call in at her rooms on Tues for an additional lesson :)

I wonder why dogs must go into quarantine and not people when it is proven that humans carry more diseases than animals! Poor little pugs - they still have a long haul ahead of them.
ReplyDeleteHope you get that second basic stitch right soon Hazel. :-) Of course you will put a picture of your lace making effort up for us to see wont you? he he he
Stedson sounds like a wonderful person. I dont think we have many/any of his sort left in this country.
