Walking the Dog

This week I've had major problems with my broadband connection.  A few years ago it probably wouldn't have bothered me but now it drove me to distraction.  I couldn't look at other blogger's post and if I managed to access them I couldn't look at their beautiful pictures which is my favourite bit.  Nor could I post when I felt like it.  Pictures wouldn't upload or posts save.  Arrrhhhhhh technology!!!!

So I spent my week walking the dog in the lovely frost.  We walk along the canal and Molly loves to spend her time jumping in and out of the water.

She really spends more time swimming than walking.  But this week the canal was completely frozen and she was not a bit impressed at all.

Molly is a bit of a chicken.  In that I mean that she is scared of everything.....loud noises, horses, sheep, cows and most of all dogs that are bigger than her.  All along this path we are nearly guaranteed to meet at least some of these.  I think that is one of the reasons why she spends most of her time hiding in the water. But this is the middle of the bog and unfortunately these things cannot be avoided.

So this week when we came across the friendly, giddy dog but big dog at the end of our walk, she sat rooted to the spot behind my legs, peeping out through the gap between my legs.  My poor little furry friend!!

My new resolution has been working much better than the original one.  When the weather has permitted I've walked the dog. I've been cooking and baking and enjoying it much more because I stopped putting myself under pressure and then feeling deflated and disappointed because my day didn't meet all my expectations.  This has also left me so much more relaxed to crochet in the evenings and try to finish the baby toddler blanket.  It's growing rapidly B, I promise.

How are your resolutions going?  Did you make a change to them to make them better for you?

Hoping to be able to chat you soon,
