Saturday began with a bit of a lie in, followed by a quick shopping trip to Bentley Bridge & Poundland at Willenhall. Discovered I had a mouse in my bedroom which had been feeding on Christmas chocolates, cheeky sod. Then dropped off my sisters birthday card/present. Back home to the hounds for a walk, although bright it was quite chilly. A bit of time next to relax with some knitting as I'm working on an order for a Greyhound jumper & snood, the jumper is a bespoke striped pattern, something I've not attempted before, so a bit of a challenge. Got a text from my mate to ask if I fancied heading out with them to her gig that evening, pick up time arranged, so time to eat & get ready as well as feeding & watering the hounds too.
My mate and her hubby arrived later than planned as their journey coincided with the football traffic & we headed off to Doncaster for a double header tribute show. The venue was pretty nice, an old night club, the crowd were good & very receptive for both the Cher show and Pink show. Had a great evening & we even got fed too with an amazing chicken curry & the promise of another two or three bookings for next year, fabulous. Their dog was amazing too, a Dogue de Bordeux called Hunter, 8 months old & weighing about 8 stone.
Sunday saw a nice lie in as I didn't get home til 3 am, lol & a visit to the kennels to get Badger's nails trimmed & collect a couple of Greyhound coats to send to America. A chat with the Sunday volunteers and a dash of mulled wine to celebrate volunteer Julie's birthday.
Straight on to Bescot market for a mooch with my boy before heading home. We bumped into a couple of volunteers for another charity and their two Greyhounds, we had quite a long chat while the hounds did much bum sniffing. Picked up a few bits & bobs before a stall holder stopped me for a chat about Greyhounds, at the end of our conversation he told me to go and see the guy with the meat stall who promptly offer me a bag of bones for the hounds, they loved them!!
The rest of the day was to relax and do some more knitting before an early night.
