Sunday already .

So damn hard keeping track on time .

I think i drank too much again this weekend .

But then again i think i think too much if you catch my drift .


It is great to be back in england . There is only so much of the eastern europeans i can take and after a long ass haul like that i am overjoyed to be back home .

I guess we landed around thirty six hours ago in london heathrow .

After departing through customs with nothing to declare and getting away with it once again i spent most of the night crashed out in the back of a van going up north .

As per usual i was the last man out and got ditched off at some wreck of a service station miles from home with all my kit . I had to call for a cab around 5.00AM this morning which got me back home at around 6.45AM .

The dogs had been dropped off the night before so after the usual meet and greet i hit the shower for the first time in a week or so .

Witness the magical healing properties of hot running water - just cant beat it . I put the world news on TV and immediately crashed out alongside the dogs until around 2.00PM .



Eyes wide open .

Still feeling pretty alert from the european jaunt i decided to go for a walk . I made some lunch even though i had no appetite at all - almost forcing it down - then i locked up and headed towards the back streets and onto the park .

I think i had been out about fifteen minutes or so when i came across this dog just hanging about in the road watching as i approached . My grandfather used to breed working dogs for the military and the police force so i have absolutely no fear of dogs at all having grown up amongst packs of alsatians - doberman pinschers and boxers .

As i neared this dog i could clearly tell it was a bitch - a young one too - pretty big in size and pure muscle - and unless i am proved wrong she looks like a full blown pedigree boxer . I gave her my hand and she was fine . She had no ID collar . I put my hand in her mouth to check for teeth - which had barely come through . I am guessing she is between six and nine months old .

The thing is a dog like this is worth around £600 / $1000 - you dont just lose a dog like this . My guess is that the dog is micro chipped seeing as how it had no form of collar ID - and i suppose i should at least get her scanned by the local vetinary surgeon . But for now she is in my room for the night snoring away - i think she has some sunstroke going from her bloodshot eyes . Probably from being out in the heat for several days .

I brought her back home with me and introduced her to my other two dogs earlier on . That went without any problems . So far so good . So for what was going to be a regular short walk - not a bad welcome home present . A complimentary guard dog on the house .



And on TV the breaking news on BBC NEWS 24 is that some kind of returned space probe has crash landed in the united states within the past hour . I swear i heard them say it has landed in utah but i had my headphones on and missed all but the very end of the report but there are several more due to follow soon with more details .

But that would be some clean up job if it landed in a populated area . In someones home . I could do without any satelite crashing into my house tonight or any other night .

More on the TV news stations .

Nine american miners who have been trapped 240 feet underground in a flooded dighole for the past three days just been rescued with literally minutes to spare before the whole place filled with water and they drowned . I bet they are feeling damn lucky to be alive right now .

And another plane crash landed in europe . That is the second unexplained crash since i got home not even two days ago . I am glad it was not the flight i was on . And what the hell is with these planes just falling out of the sky .


And the latest news on the returned venus probe story is that one of the three capsules that malfunctioned immediately upon re entering earths atmosphere had actually crashed straight through the roof of an old folks home killing nine elderly residents as they sat watching TV .



It is a true sign of being back home when you have a TV that speak the queens english .
