Regular readers of this blog have probably realised by now that I love dogs and share my home with four of them. Nobody could describe them as working dogs, they're more like sleeping dogs.... the sound of them snoring in harmony is quite something.

The subject of tonight's little tale (which is apparently quite true) is a blind social worker who lived in Cardiff and relied on her guide dog to get about. One day while she and her dog were out together, she had to ask a stranger for directions.

After a moment's hesitation, the stranger bent down and whispered in the dog's ear, 'You take the first on the right and the second on the left...'

Today I have been going through the proofs, and making a checklist of things left for me to do. I am really very pleased with the way my book is being presented - even the fonts are ones I would have chosen. PLUS I've been allowed to do the cover!!!

However, it's now just gone 9.30om and I am virtually cross eyed so I shall be calling it a day and turning in. Tomorrow I hope to finish up all the loose ends and post the proofs back to Capall Bann.

Then I'll get back to my book on herbs and plants..... hopefully!
