We took Bluey to breakfast on Saturday, and our neighbours sat nearby with Lewis, their toy poodle. Bluey was ho-hum about the other dog, but Lewis was very keen to get close to Bluey. He looks very different to Bluey as he is groomed by a Japanese woman who keeps his fur long.

The afternoon project was to finish the grouting near the lift. I mixed a tiny amount of grey grout and waited for it to dry to compare the colour with existing grout. It was too dark, so I experimented mixing different amounts of white grout with the grey. My final mix was two scoops of white to one scoop of grey. Once that was sorted, it didn’t take long to grout around the six tiles that had been replaced.
It was cooler on Sunday morning after overnight rain, so we made a start on the weeds in the pool area. After an hour, Anita had weeded several garden beds while I had only managed to clear the weeds around one of the pavers. To get to the base of each weed I had to move pebbles, before pulling out each weed with my fingertips.

Our rear neighbours were out, so I put a ladder against the fence to measure the distance from the boundary fence to our corrugated iron fence. This may become relevant if our neighbour refuses to cut his hedge.

Our motorhome friends called in for a visit this afternoon. Bluey and Leo were happy to see each other but had a serious growling session over a toy. They kissed and made up. We walked the dogs to the park, and Bluey recognised the motorhome.
