Not feeling quite 100% having woken up this morning with a bit of a sore throat. It's definitely not got worse through the day but I'm just feeling a little bit 'fluish' at the moment...hopefully just a passing bug (fingers crossed!).
Probably not helping that this British weather is so rubbish....that's 3 weeks of virtual solid rain (seems that ever since we were told we were officially in a drought, it's rained!) and there's no let up in sight. Went up to London again today, this time to watch the Army thrash the Navy for the Babcock Trophy at Twickenham - really great atmosphere and we were treated to the sight of 3 male strippers being chased by various embarrassed security guards across the pitch...add to that Peter Pan, Tinkerbell and Aladdin also giving the officials the slip and it all made for a fab spectacle!
John and I popped over to Blandford after work on Friday to see if we could see for ourselves a wild otter as there have been quite a few sightings of them by the weir next to Morrison's supermarket. We'd only been there around 5 minutes when one appeared right infront of us...and amazed us by seemingly ignoring all the spectators that had arrived on the banks of the river and on the suspension bridge, and carried on fishing. That's a first as we have never seen a wild river otter in the UK and we couldn't stop beaming...we're hoping to go back early tomorrow morning to see if we can catch it again. Well worth going over there to try to spot one - apparently last October there were up to 9 seen in the vicinity which is great news....they're back!
