The Wrong Roof

It’s a Morose Monday for L as she's in work and not shopping with me at Sainsbury’s... Cycling is also rather morose with only seven of us there. L is quickly back FH on Tuesday with her boss away in London. 

Tuesday was also supposed to be the first tennis game of the year but predictably it’s rained off.

Wednesday is the start of five days at our own dog show. The first two days are purely setting up and I take the Lad on day one and he gets plenty of ball as we wait for the marquee to be erected. It takes them from 10am to 6pm to put it up because they came with the wrong roof. I am home in time to see England beat Netherlands 2-1 to reach Euros Final.

L runs on Thursday morning before joining us on the morning walk and then heading off to Derby while I head back to continue setting up the show. The lad stays home this time. It drizzles all day as yet again a catering van pulls out on us. Amazingly we quickly manage to find someone else after an appeal on social media which perhaps has a use after all.

The show starts for real on Friday and with a catering van as I celebrate my Wellbeing Day Off work. By Saturday our new catering is not enjoying our show as he says he’s not selling enough. He doesn’t return on Sunday. On the plus side one of our trade stands makes a key ring of the Lad. It is great, so I get them to make extra ones for L, my Dad and Daughter. I also buy him a new lead to make up for not inviting him. I de-stress after the show with L in the Plough.

Sunday is the last day of the show and it’s also the Euros Final which England lose 2-1 to Spain.
