still standing

Jeepers, never ceases to amaze me. Two litres of 17% port and am still standing.

Must be time to walk to the local and get another two.
11.46: Back from pub.Had a bittuva chat with the bloke at the bottleshop. Umm, not good, he's getting to recognise me and my abberancies .. mm.

Had to negotiate with the local dog just round the corner. Frightened the shit out of me first time. It sits in the garden just behind the fence. Pedestrian walks past and it leaps up with very aggressive bark. Dunno what it is "protecting" per se, just an ordinary suburban house as far as i can see. Have learned to walk on the footpath on other side of street, not because am "afraid" of it, as such, just don't like "disturbing the peace" of a Sunday morning.

Stopped and "growled" at it from the other side of the street on the way past .. more "oy, dingbat, am just walking past" sort of thing, it watched me and the stubby tail began to wag. Mmm, think i.

On the way back, deliberately walked on "its" pavement. [public footpath, other side of the fence]. Bloody thing went bananas. Serious teeth time. Mmm, think i. Growled at it a lot .. trying to say 'Oy, dingbat, me on public pavement, piss orf and settle down, am not trying to invade yer bloody space'.

Wierd thing was that it did. Barked a few more times then reluctantly went back behind its back gate.

Strange, really.

Update1: 1335, have just had a phonecall from a friend whos ha had to put a beloved dog down// am weeping
