Sunday and a lot of sand

Out with D this morning to deliver the papers. Very little to report of interest no one about, although the birds were active in the hedgerows.

After taking everyone to do their shopping it was time to move the sand. Boss(he) had put in the area to be covered and the depth of bedding mix and ordered accordingly. Just a little too much sand like 250 Kgs. Not to worry it will be used to fill in the hollow in the front lawn, although they both think sharp sand should be used.

Went to the local school this afternoon as boss needed to take in a network storage box. It's got 2 Sata drives. What ever they are? Have you noticed how humans complicate life with the language they use? Some words seem to have many meaning like love, love that dress, love to see you, love you, love that car etc, which is useful. Whilst others have changed over time, awful now seems to describe something not very nice yet it meant awe full or filled with awe.

Well we shifted the sand. I helped of course when it came to filling the hollow in the lawn. Boss got quite cross as as fast as he racked it I redistributed it. Boss(she)was quite amused by it all. Grumpy just got on with racking it back down again and when I went to help he told me to go away. Talking of language that humans use boss(he) told me to go !away". How often when out I have heard people getting cross with their dog and shouting at it to "come here". When it does the either shout at it or hit it. Now what does that teach the dog, when it hears the words "come here"? It is uncertain as to what the outcome, will it get hit or shouted at. Humans just don't understand how clever we dogs are. Even "no brain" the setter is very good as sitting and other things that a working dog should do. Treats us with respect and dignity and we are no problem.

Off to bed early tonight as it's an early start tomorrow. May the sun warm your back and the day grace you with life.
