One thing i’ve missed since we moved to the seaside back in May is the big city. So, we’ve driven down to Manchester and I’m in Street Photography mode while Mrs Oy looks for Christmas presents :)

Clearing up stuff out side the shop and hauled three large loads up the hill in the backhoe to my storage space, before the snow hits. Moving a little slow, as I'm recovering after a visit to the ER Sunday. Nothing too serious, but painful, and really took the wind out of my sails. Should be back to normal in a few more days.

Feeling any better?

I took a walk down to the apartment manager’s office this afternoon. Asked him if he was aware that more and more dogs were being let off leash for their walks. And while I am a dog person, I am not an off leash dog person. On the rare walks with Stella, my almost 5 pound yorkie, she is leashed.

He said, no, of course. The last dog he saw, off leash, was 3 weeks ago. He fined them 50 dollars and said next time it was bye bye to the dog. I asked him to send out a reminder to keep the dogs on leash.

Cause on my walk I was approached by a large off leash dog and owner. I stopped, stood perfectly still, and asked it the dog would bite. No, she said. He just likes to jump up on people. 😱. Oh joy, I so want to be jumped up on by a 50 pound uncontrollable dog. Plus all dogs bite. Ugh. People can be so stupid.

You got that right! Thirty years ago, I had a 120 pound dog that I run off leash (in an area where it was allowed, and I was on my bicycle). This dog was dumber than a box of rocks! All she wanted wad for people to give her attention. She got this attention by jumping on anyone she saw. At the time, I considered it to be a nuisance, and I worked at training her to stay down.

Now, 30 years later, I realize how dangerous she was! How easily she could have knocked over someone who was not stable on their legs. And how invasive she was to other people!!! Luckily, there were very few people where we went, and nothing bad ever happened. But now? I could never do that! If I ever had another dog, it's one thing to let it run off leash at home....but never in public!
 
Shoveling leaves. I have a large area on the side of my house (like a hallway) where my neighbor's leaves accumulate & I get rid of them twice a year when they get several inches deep. It's 150 feet long. They fill a large green barrel 4 times. Great exercise for the back & shoulders. :D
 
On my walk today I saw the bigger feral cat that rules our property. Someone had dropped a great deal of dog food in the landscape rocks a couple weeks ago. The cat was chowing down on it. Usually she hunts birds, rodents and such. Glad she found a meal that she doesn’t have to work so hard for.

As long as she still hunts, it's ok. But I hope that no one is giving her a steady diet of dog food....very bad for cats!

Yes, cats are obligate carnivores - their system designed to eat only meat. Most dog food has fillers like grains & waste products from manufacture of other foods, etc. very bad for cats.
Dogs are mostly carnivores, but will eat almost anything.
 
One of these days where I've done a lot but you can't really see the results of it..

Got a lot of paperwork filed into their relatives file boxes.. not that there was papers lying around but I discovered much had been filed in the wrong boxes.. so I got that sorted, and relocated the boxes into another area .. much climbing up and down of stepladders

Took 2 separate deliveries today..

Put new Hygrometers into the sheds to measure any dampness in them, I will be disappointed if there is any significant damp because I have electric Dehumidifiers in both..

Got Laundry done..

Spoke to my daughter about her transferring her Iphone 12 to me.. because she's now got her new Iphone 14.. and I only have an Iphone X.. (10) but I don't know how to pair them so I might have to take a trip up to hers next weekend..

Right now I'm waiting for my dinner to finish cooking. Got Chicken thighs in the air fryer.. baked Potato in the Microwave, and in a minute I'm going down to make Creamed Mushrooms..

Excellent news that you're home safe and sound Don, and they looked after you for the first night after surgery. Now listen to the Doctors and do everything they tell you now you're home, and hopefully you'll be feeling better very soon..
