The past couple of days have been largely uneventful. There is a neighbourhood dispute about complaints concerning our local river park being an off leash dog area. Apparently, one man has complained about dogs running around near the playground area after 5pm, during the off leash time period. His 3 year old can use the play equipment outside of off leash times from 7am to 5pm, so he hasn’t received a sympathetic hearing.
Others have complained about dog fights at the park, but I have only seen one dog fight over the hundreds of hours I have spent at the park. That was caused by a woman taking her late father’s Jack Russell to the park, not realising the dog had never been out of the garden. Two dogs play together, and their antics might have been construed as fighting.
Today Bluey endured the trauma of a visit to the groomer, and our budget suffered a $120 bill. His fur feels lovely and smells much nicer!
We have finalised our itinerary for the European trip, but still need to choose a few hotels.
The outside temperature is still hovering around 29° to 30°, so not much is being done around the garden. I spotted this collection of plants growing in a narrow bed at the IGA Queen St Village. The native violets, Japanese grass, and succulents work well together and should suppress weeds.
