Monday strangers in the night

What a weird morning. Out early and in front of us appears to be a jogger who seems to be tired, to the point of exhaustion. As we get a little closer he is in his boxer shorts and is either drunk on high on something. Keeps starting to jog then stops then starts again. Even worse he is now jogging in the road and may be injured. Boss, notifies the police who send out a patrol car which arrives when we are going back home from our walk.

On a walk boss sees a fox sitting in the shadows and after I have sorted out my digestive residue it starts to follow us. I have to turn and show some indignation at it's action. It makes no difference it just stays further back and follows us down the lane until we hit the main road.

The morning weather seems odd too. A mild morning for October with cloud and a light touch of rain. If the cloud breaks it will get a little colder and the sun may shine.

Mid-day and out with D for a walk and we see another fox resting in the undergrowth who is not bothered by our passing. Buster was on a different shift so we saw him today. He is very busy at present and because of his age should be slowing down but because of all the human problems he reckons he will go way past retirement age in active service.

Rest of the day is uneventful other than boss(she) brings D a copy of a booklet on a local bus company, which D find most interesting and is grateful for the copy.

Boss(she) starts a little evening job to help with paying for everyday things. Boss(he) is certain that the car will be sold soon, had two enquiries over the weekend after putting the sigh up.
Must go food calls.
