Whatever this contraption is called - and if you know, please enlighten me - it's stopped working. It seems to be stuck on Friday. Fixing it will give Lara's human something to do when he returns from his hols.

Another gorgeous sunny day. Bitterly cold, but that doesn't matter. An extra of some Drymen rooftops, taken on our walk round the field.

I say goodbye to dear old Lara this evening. I've already been asked to come back for a week in June, but I'll give her an extra hug just in case...
