Ahhhh – a weekend away. John is overseas, and I had to remain behind. Of course, husband said “go away with the dogs” “have a weekend away” .. so I selected this lovely place in Daylesford called Hollow Log Cottages. I am staying in the Stoney Cottage, which is a bachelor pad basically, everything in ONE room, but nice enclosed bathroom. Perfect for just me.
Of course, now I had to pack to come here, and because I am an “anal” person, I made a list of all the Doggie things and then all the thing I needed. Started packing, and ......... the dogs have more luggage!!!! I have TWO bags, they have 5 bags – 1 for leads and towels, 1 for blankets and treats, 1 for sheets and dog food, 1 for bowls and (technically not a bag), 3 beds!
OMG, lugging all that backwards and forwards took about half an hour, and only then could I pack my stuff in the car, or should I say SQUISH my stuff in the teeny tiny space left for it. Goodness me!
Only took 1½ hours to get here, thankfully, as about 25 minutes in it started to bucket down with rain. I don’t mind driving in the rain, but people are IDIOTS here. They all of a sudden drive FASTER than the speed of light – zooming everywhere, overtaking in the pouring rain. Morons. Anywho, still raining when I got to our destination. The lovely Mandy showed me to my cottage, and the spotted wonder dogs were put in the doggie paddock so I could unpack the car in peace. Did you hear them where you live? Are you sure you didn’t hear howling, crying, moaning dogs in the background of your life? Holy hell, did they moan about being left in the paddock – which was about 6 meters from the cottage, but ............ so very very far in spotted wonder dog eyes!
I took some pictures BEFORE all my and the dogs “stuff” was lugged into the cottage, as I wanted some NICE pictures before I had to cover all the furniture and the bed so that doggie hair was not kindly left anywhere.
It is still raining, softly now, and I am sitting near the fire, bubbles in hand ........ and just about to read a book. I have a wonderful selection of DVD’s here, so I think I might be bunkered down for the evening already
