venetia_sassyToday was a good day for resting. It did start less than auspiciously, I admit. Got up early to let the dogs out and nearly stumbled into a puddle of dog vomit. Lovely. At least it was on the tiles.
Managed to go back to sleep until The Boyo came in and stared at me, intimating it was Time to Go Out again (the stare is amazingly effective, no matter how deeply asleep I am.) We went outside and there was a heavy smoke haze which set my sinuses aching. I checked the Hazard Reduction Burns site and there were two burns scheduled nearby so yes, that would do it! Later, there was a rattling good thunderstorm (literally! The windows rattled) which naturally set The Boyo to barking since he wanted to hunt down the thunder and kill it (he has yet to succeed. This annoys him.)
*yawns* Really, apart from switching out my handbags, cleaning a pair of earrings (verdigris. Very fiddly) and making a half-batch of biscuits ... I've managed the resting pretty well! Smoke and rain did aid in that.
Watched a documentary - The Secret Life of the Dog - with an very interesting section on the 50 year experiment in domesticating silver foxes, then started listening to the Panic albums in readiness for tomorrow! Excitement! This is really only the second concert I've been to, would you believe. Then again, starting with Adam Lambert and following up with Panic sounds pretty good to me. *g*
