Hot,hot,hot

Last night was HOT, even at 2000hrs the temperature was still at 34 C, too hot for even me, a Greek canine!  The Guv was up early as normal this morning and off we went on the beach walk, but now at 1000hrs its over 35 C already...I'm going to take it easy today.........

Suntan ?

It's rather hot here today with temperatures in the upper 30's C even in the shade, I thought I'd better get a bit of a suntan before I set off to France this weekend .  Mind you not that I can stay out in the sun too long, us blonds have to be careful you know.

I'm staying in !

I'm in trouble AGAIN!

OK, yes I'm in trouble again!  You see on the beach walk this morning the Guv was a bit slow keeping up with me and I found this real nice smelly & messy gunge to roll about in.

The Guv got some of it off before I was allowed back in the "poppymobile" but once back home I was taken to the the rain room to be sorted!

Mind you I must admit I do like the Misses giving me a blow dry with her fur dryer afterwards......

On the tiles !!

So last night the Guv and the Misses went out and left me all alone at home! However this morning they produced a surprise for me, it appears they had been told about this lady who paints pictures on very old roof tiles, and look this one is OF ME !

I think the tiles are even older than the Guv, handmade and probably over 300 years old!

Hot, hot, hot.....

It really was not that hot on the beach this morning as we normally get up quite early, however it did make me think that some of you humans forget us canines do not have shoes to wear!

Now whilst our paws are quite tough, so are the soles of human feet, but I bet some of you will not walking without shoes on hot sandy beaches this summer!

Likewise you would not consider walking on hot tarmac pavements & roads....

But DO YOU THINK about us canines when you walk us ?

REMEMBER we burn as well..........

There's thunder about !

Greengreen (or rather brown) grass of home

I thought today I would show you some of my garden I'm allowed to run around in.  The first photo the Guv took this morning from the bedroom balcony, the second is of the front driveway and the third of the rear garden.  As you will see it's been rather dry here and the grass is turning brown.  Not that the Guv minds that.....less mowing he says!

The end of the line.....

You recall what I was saying about this pipe thing?  Well this morning I decided to go back and have another good sniff around it and investigate, I mean I need to make sure that my Greek coastline is safe and it was not an air inlet pipe to some illegal immigrant hiding cave don't I?

So I had a good sniff and decided to track down the other end.....I found it (I think) but it was the other side of this river, and I'm not a very good swimmer! I think I'll let the Guv investigate from here...................

It's here.....

Now I know my Greek friends will have knowledge of the Greek-Russian gas pipe line deal that's causing all this controversy at the moment.  Well I think it's all too late as the Russians have broken through already !  You see I found the pipe coming up through the sand on the beach this morning, either that or it's a Russian submarine that has beached and upped it's periscope .......
