The warm weather has been so lovely, we even managed to get some more swimming done before winter! As an aside, this was the only photo where Dylan’s expression wasn’t screaming “SHARKS! SHARKS EVERYWHERE! SHARKS BEHIND ME!”, which is why it’s the only one that got uploaded. He does actually love swimming, and was toodling around completely unprompted about 20ft from the banks, just because he can.
I was hoping the weather would last, but I hear it’s all downhill from now on. Ever the optimist, let’s all keep our fingers crossed it stays like this until Bonfire Night. It’s allowed to be cold after that.
No photos of Mol as she was off doing her own thing, as ever. She and Kim are quite the pair between them at the moment, as we are losing either one or the other on a sadly regular basis. They’re both very independent girls, off on their own on walks hunting down mice and birds and whatever else they fancy, but it does lead to the occasional panic stricken moment these days. Mollie’s sight hasn’t actually deteriorated that much this summer, but she still has moments where she can’t really see you. Kim’s hearing has deteriorated a lot over the past few months, although probably not noticably to anyone but us. However, she can’t always hear us now, or if she can, she finds it hard to tell where the shout/whistle is coming from, especially on windy days or when we’re between hills and there is an echo. Makes me sad, but there isn’t much we can do except keep a sharper eye out.
