Archive for September, 2009

I just spent the evening making a new template for Maddy’s blog. She chose the picture and I built the template around it. I think it turned out pretty cute. I really enjoyed doing it – I’d love to do some more and work on a portfolio and perhaps do this for a living.

I spent the day uploading old travel pics and making pages here. I found an old disk I’d saved my photos on from a trip to the UK in 2003, and there’s some nice ones on there. The disk is very scratched though so I thought I’d better upload and save them somewhere, so you can see them here in the June/July 2003 archives. I’m not quite finished yet (I took hundreds of pics!) but hopefully I’ll get the rest of them saved here in the next couple of days.

OMG what a pallaver! We bought Banjo a special lead thing which goes over the muzzle and is supposed to control his head – he hated it. Between Ben and I, it took us ten minutes of wrestling with Banjo just to get the thing on. Ben took Banjo up and down the alleyway next to our house, and Banjo struggled with the muzzle the entire time. He managed to pull it off a number of times, and refused to budge. Ben tried to drag on the lead and the whole thing, much to Banjo’s happiness, came right off. Banjo was able to twist his head around and tried to chew on the straps which came from the muzzle part – doubt if they’re going to last long.

So I got my exercise just trying to put the stupid thing on the dog. I’m not sure what the next stage will be. Just thinking about it is exhausting!
