Shaking off the troubles of the day....

Not sure why life seems so eventful right now. Had a frantic call this lunch time from eldest daughter who had 'lost' her bag with her laptop and all her written revision notes in it. Turns out she lost it by leaving it in the bar last night - duh!! Her prelims ( first year uni exams) start tomorrow. She had spent the morning looking for it , posting messages on facebook about it and when all else failed phoned mum. We agreed the best course of action was a bath, some chocolate and listening to some recorded lectures . It worked. The porters phoned her at three to say it had ' appeared' . Much relief. Work had felt like swimming in treacle all afternoon , now it was like flying again.
I got home from work to find Ellie had made a roast chicken with phenomenal garlic roast potatoes. Good way to celebrate last GCSE today.
After dinner we took the dogs to the river at Glasbury. The ducks know our dogs by now and are not remotely scared as they rush headlong into the water - only to rush out again if it reaches their tummies. Ducks quacking dismissively. Dogs then shake water all over our cameras , us , anything near by.
Among lots of cute dog photos I liked the shaking one. Sums up how the walk shook off the stresses of the day :-)
