Don’t forget the humans…

It is holiday time again when the rain pours and inconsiderate people keep us awake.

Charlie and I were on sentry duty overnight when we heard the approach of the screamers.

These selfish humans are a nocturnal evolution of the daytime human and are seen walking in a wobbly, snake-like way down the pavements and alleyways in the early morning.

Evolution seems to have played a cruel trick on these souls as they do seem slightly deaf. You can often hear them shouting ‘I love you’ or singing along to bad music on their mobile phones.

Often barefoot, these sad individuals seem to revel in their self importance and don’t seem to care about bumping into road signs or scratching cars.

The sun is just coming up and like yesterday we may have the first dry days in weeks. We managed to get out for a walk last night .

The flood defence work is gathering pace in Victoria Park.  Oh well, it is another way of spending money and the humans employed.

This area is near to the Civic Centre and the main roundabout in the town.

Can we come too.

The Times Online has published a number of articles with us in mind.  As it is holiday season their journalists have been looking at places we can stay or where we can go for a run.

Here are a few of the articles and links to them
