A quick note ...

... before I head out to the hospitals and try to catch a few folk at home.  It's going to be a late-ish evening so there may not be time to return to the blog.  I'd not want to annoy the readers by failing to post yet again ... so this is a brief morning greeting.
The photo-shoot has happened an hour ago and Eliot is now back in his armchair sleeping off the exertion!

 The weather here is enough to give a dog a very sad face!  The humans aren't too happy about it either. It wasn't actually raining at this early stage ... but my guess is that it won't be long until it does!

 Normally Eliot has a spot on the grass from which he keeps an eye out for the squirrel ... but today he choose the garden chair.  I'm beginning to wonder if the squirrel has gone ... there was one running across the road a few doors away ... so maybe our little fellow has become fed up with the dog and has decided to move trees?

 If he's still here then Eliot will certainly spot him!  Have you ever seen such a vigilant dog?

School traffic is building up and any early journeys need to be planned quite carefully to avoid both morning and afternoon slow traffic.  Road works in a couple of places don't help things either.
So, with a mountain of "stuff" to do there's the need for a plan ... if I look carefully at the visiting list I'll hopefully get to a number of homes this afternoon.  And there's a sermon to finish off as well ....
