... crikey! Blogger being v-e-r-y s-l-o-w t-o-n-i-g-h-t, w-h-i-c-h i-s a p-a-i-n, b-e-c-a-u-s-e I'v-e a l-o-t t-o s-a-y....
These little things get under my skin and frankly, sometimes, I speak out - well, you're reading this, and you know me (a little?) by now, so that's no surprise then.
On Sunday it rained and rained, and eventually I said to Roly, well if no-one else is taking you, we'd better go for a walk. Wellies and raincoat on, and off we went. So far so good. We got to Willow Lane and I let Roly off his lead, as usual, and I plodded behind him, one eye on the dog, one eye on the building development behind Newbury Street, to see how it's progressing. (And that's another story!).
A little way ahead of us a woman, child and dog stopped, turned around and walked away from us. I didn't register this too highly, and we continued on our way, Roly his usual distance ahead, slow and steady, sniffing here and there, peeing here and there. In fact I didn't think about the woman ahead of us at all until I noticed she'd stopped and then screamed aggresssively at me "WILL YOU PUT YOUR DOG ON A LEAD?"
Umm...what??? I called Roly, who came to me, slow and steady, sat in front of me and I put his lead on. Feeling a little bemused and affronted we continued on our way and the woman turned towards us and approached us. As we crossed paths I said "A please would have been nice".
Oops!!! Another torrent of abuse from her, most of which fortunately I didn't really register as I have partial hearing in my right ear. The only bit I did catch was something like 'vets bills would you?'. Her dog also growled at Roly as we passed, voicing her anger.
I'm still confused. I don't think I'd done anything wrong. Roly would have 'said hello' to her dog if he'd passed by, but he hadn't reached them before the incident, so I'm at a loss to understand her behaviour. Any ideas welcome.
As promised, here are the photos of spiders webs from the foggy mornings a couple of weeks ago. Hope you like them.
And with those thoughts I'll leave you. nighty night. Kat :)
