Not what we had planned

We seem to have no luck with our weekend plans at the moment and this weekend was no exception. On Friday we set off from home just after midday to go up to Lincoln for the weekend. It usually takes about 4 hours to ge there. The traffic was terrible on the A34 so we got off and did a more scenic route, getting back on about 10 miles further on. It added quite a bit of time to the journey be we carried on. As it was hot we made a few service station stops for the dogs too. We were nearly at the M1 (halfway through our journey) at about 4pm when we heard a loud 'pop'. It sounded as though something had hit the side of the car but we couldn't see anything, then the back drivers side window started to down. The regulator had gone. We had no way of getting the window up and it wouldn't be safe to leave all weekend as it meant you couldn't lock the car or the alarm just goes off so we had to turn around and go home.


Yesterday was my birthday and obviously we were supposed to be at dogs unleashed but instead we were at the BMW garage getting the window fixed. (Not impressed). I did have a good birthday though and me and Conor went shopping for the morning and I got some new trainers!


Today the dogs have been for a good walk in the woods and now the weather has cooled, got to play fetch for a while. Anyway this clip is of them playing in the puddles earlier, the question is, would you let them sit on your sofa after this?




Tomorrow me and Brian are off to my mum and dads as we are getting the tow bar fitted on the truck on Tuesday (near to where they live). We have got to go all the way to Great Wyrley to get it done as there are not many place that will fit them on and X5. On wednesday Brian is booked in for a massage at the K9 Massage therapy Centre in Worcestershire with his favourite lady, Natalie. He loved her when we went on the workshop a few weeks back so as a treat I have booked him in for a massage.
