Happy Sunday! Here is the weather for today in the south east of England. Heavy frost this morning becoming bright and sunny later in the morning. Mild and overcast in the afternoon and much milder. I think today that the weather isn`t sure what to do so we are getting a bit of everything. I woke up this morning with a bout of arthritis that hit me without any warning. My hands are very painful, as are my neck and shoulders. I haven`t had any problems for ages and thought I`d get through this winter unscathed! Ho hum.... you can`t have everything I suppose. I really think it might be because I ate quite a bit of chocolate over the last couple of days. I always get some sort of reaction to the stuff. It`s more likely to be major headaches or maybe major insomnia so I bet this time it`s the old joints.
I have to say that I think Jake has an identity crisis. I`m sure he thinks that he is a cat ! It stared with him making a purring sound while he weas being stroked. He also likes to press his head up against anyone who strokes him, AND he loves a saucer of milk! I`m now waiting to see if he can climb trees `cos if he can I`ll make sure you all see the photo to prove it. Oh yes, yesterday he chased a pheasant while we were in the park. It was the funniest thing, he disappeared into the woods and immediately this bird flew out. I`ve never seen a pheasant fly before but let me tell you they are not very good at it, of course Jake went in hot pursuit and the pheasant just made it too safety. That is of course what a working labrador would do, flushing the game out for the waiting shotguns, only this time it was just for fun, thankfully. That`s it for today, I don`t think I`t be wise to type too much today. Hopefully my hands will be a bit better tomorrow. Bye for now, enjoy the rest of your Sunday. ;-)
NEW EVERY MORNING
Every day is a fresh beginning.
Listen my soul to the glad refrain.
And, despite of old sorrows
And older sinning,
Troubles forecasted
And possible pain,
Take heart with the day and begin again.

Have a lovely day and a good rest. Maybe it is the stress from Friday's appointment, that has affected your joints. Take care my friend.

Sorry to hear about your hands - I hope you've managed to enjoy your sunday though :-) LOL @ jake!!
Well, at least Jake didn't think he was a cat when he went after that pheasant, lol! As you say - he was acting the true labrador and gun dog there! That arthritis must be such a damn nuisance - I do hope it eases up soon.
