So quiet

 With just the Silver Vixen and Gorse Fox at home, it was very quiet this morning. Urban-Cub did pop back for a while, but then went out to collect cousin Mask from the railway station and headed on to Chichester to meet with the Coventry Hobbit and Cousteau-Cub.


The Gorse Fox caught up on the accounts and collated the photos from yesterday, now that the official images have come through. It took a while, but it was worth the effort.

While doing this, he noticed his backup system wasn't running. It appears that an update was applied automatically, yesterday. Now the system won't start. He has raised a ticket with the vendor and eagerly awaits their response.

The Silver Vixen headed into the from garden to do a little tidying up but ended up chatting with various neighbours for a couple of hours before she got started.

The Gorse Fox headed off for a walk. This took him along the main road towards Sainsbury's then north along the A29 into Shripney before looping back along the 14th century highway back to Bersted. Led Zeppelin accompanied him on the walk - helping keep the pace up. (Note to self: remember to take headphones next time).


In a smallholding near the by-pass, a couple were doing some maintenance on their sheds. A couple of goats had escaped and were standing outside the enclosure. The first one was standing on its hind legs munching leaves from a tree. The Gorse Fox was too slow with the camera to capture this. By the time it was freed from his pocket, the goat was back on all fours. Meanwhile, the other was watching imperiously as the Gorse Fox approached. As you can see from the photo, there was a definite attitude of "What'choo looking' at?"

The Gorse Fox marched on, across the by-pass and up into Bersted and back home.
