Last night when I got home I went out into the backyard to see the pooches. Arnie was waiting at the door to greet me - cute little head peering up, waiting for a pat. But Jeff was nowhere to be seen! I called out, "Black dog!" as I often call him, but he didn't come. I left the house to search for him and walked up the street calling his name for a while until I heard Mark shout my name. So I went back and Jeff was wagging his whole self waiting for me at the door! When I asked Mark where he was, he said he'd accidently locked him in the garage 2 hours earlier!!

I expected to find my motorbike (oh yes, forgot to mention...I bought a motorbike!) torn to shreds and all sorts of other chaos - but nothing. Li'l Jeff must've just curled up and had a sleep!!

Oh about the motorbike - it's a lime green Kawasaki Ninja. It was in pretty bad shape when I got it, and Mark did loads of work on restoring it to get it ready for rego. A few weeks ago he rode it down and got it all registered, so now it is sitting waiting in the garage for me to...ummm... ride it. I need to get my licence and I really MUST stop putting off practising!! I am thinking I might just book the two day course and force myself to learn to balance in time. Since I only learnt to ride a bicycle a few months ago, riding a motorcycle is quite a step up you see.
