Oh dear. It appears I have failed to give the dogs their second walk before it got dark. It's cold out there. It's raining and blowy and *horrible*. Also I have a cold. What are the odds that the dogs will put up with only having one walk today...? This morning's walk was quite a long one, and it was cold enough then that the dogs even consented to wear their usually-despised coats.

Philmophlegm has made greatly mock of me today as having got back drenched, I changed into a large blue hooded garment which he thinks makes me look like a Blue Wizard. I don't mind looking like a Blue Wizard. I'm warm.

*edit* - I did have to walk them, they started agitating and wanting to go out. But they were at least more or less content with a brief trot down the lane and back, and the clouds had rolled away and the stars had come out, so it was rather lovely.
