Thursday down the Vale, Pepe and I met friend David with his Daughters Pug Geoff.
Nice sunny day and the temperature seems too be climbing to what the forecast promised us at 22 degrees by weekend, still we will see won't we, the weather.guys do seen to get it wrong on a regular basis.
The only trouble for me is the Pollen count and that's forecast to be high with tree pollen in the near future, so more runny noses, still you don't want to hear any more about that!.
We had a good walk round the lakes and then took Dave and Geoff down by the river path which they hadn't seen before so it was nice for them and Geoff hadn't been on sand before and was trying to eat it!.
Considering Geoff is only about 11 months old he and Pepe seem to get on well and they were both well and truly tired out by the time we left them after another drink in the Info Centre.
It was surprisingly quiet down by the river and no screaming kids!.
The male swan was on guard on the path round the lakes, making sure his mate crossed from the lower lake to the upper one where their nest is, don't seem to have any eggs yet.
Looking puffed up and aggressive when we quickly passed with the dogs.
Plenty of Terrapins of various sizes out sunning themselves today.
The usual patient Heron was there as well looking for his lunch.
Pied Wagtail, don't stay still long for a good snap.
Managed a bit better with this Grey Wagtail, next quest is for a yellow Wagtail, Yellow all over!.
Only downer this week was two friends have died, one was expected and the other a chap I used to see regular at other parks as well, found in his chair with his glasses on his knees so it must have been quite a painless end, which can't be bad if you have to go!.
A picture from the archives (Before the hat) that's me sailing a 70 ft Narra Boat that belonged to a very trusting friend of mine!
A bit slimmer there, still we were line dancing three nights a week, fit as butchers dogs!.

Three ways to keep your teeth,
Brush after every meal,
See your dentist every few months,
Keep your nose out of other peoples business.
