Just thought I would tell you this, it happened to me today:
Today, I have had to do a lot of paper work, fine, ok, I can handle that. So, after being sat in front of the computer all morning, I was naturally starting to feel a bit of cabin fever coming on. So I thought that I would take the dogs out, get away from the computer, emails and phone calls but I thought it best to take my mobile as I was expecting a call from my friend Pete the Meat ( don’t ask). So off we went the three of us, Chin ( my dog) and collie ( my good lady’s dog) and my mobile.
So far so good.
Behind our house is a hill called Tickle Hill and Tickle is a bloody hill, believe me. I thought I would tackle the hill today head on, I thought to myself ‘ right. I am going to get to the top without stopping’ ( yeah right).
It is worth the hike up to the top as once you are up there you can look at over 5000 years of history and next to our home is a deserted medieval village, so it is wonderful when you get there. So, I charged up the hill, I wasn’t going to stop ( after watching SAS are you tough enough, I was inspired and feeling macho) as I got to the top the phone rang. It was a enquiry about an Arktis smock, fine. The only problem was, I was feeling like my lungs had exploded and I was trying to talk to the gentleman in a professional manner but I just couldn’t speak ( makes a change) I try to explain that I wasn’t dieing and he did offer to call an ambulance as he thought I was in trouble.
Now, at the same time as all this was going on, I could hear a rabbit squeaking it’s heart out, Chin, my dog, had caught a rabbit and chin being chin was very proud of the fact ( he was also feeling inspired after watching, SAS are you tough enough).
So, to recap, I was struggling to put a sentence together with a customer as I was out of breath and a rabbit was squeaking it heart out at the same time, so I tried to explain to the customer that I was up the top of a very steep hill and my dog had caught a rabbit and I am going to have to throw something at my dog so he will drop the rabbit.
So, I picked up a stick, aimed it at the dog, threw it, Chin dropped the rabbit, the stick missed Chin, hit the rabbit and killed it outright! How about that then!!
That was just taking the bloody dogs for a quite walk!
Anybody fancy coming on a expedition with me?.....!!!
Best wishes.
Jack.
