It was the first time in a long time that Minnie and I have walked together in the neighbourhood. We have both been spoilt and Johnny has been taking her out, when we were at home for the day during their stay Actually in all truth he didn't have much choice, as everyday at 11am Minnie would walk up to Johnny and give him 'The Look'. This is the quiet intense stare she gives you when she has decided it would be a good time of day to get out and about and for her to stretch her paws and smell a few leaves of grass.
We ventured out before I got 'The Look'. And it is amazing how in a few short weeks, the changes that have happened in our hood! Firstly Husky House where the adorable Husky resides behind a very long fence and peers at us through the gate, was empty. All outside furniture gone, it was totally empty. No sign of Husky or human habitation, so we won't be able to say hello to Husky anymore.
Next up, the little flat where the courier driver resided, also cleaned up and empty. There was a very creepy and emotional movie released a couple of years ago called 'There's Something About Kevin' - and this driver's name (on his van door) is Kevin, and he moved in around the time we watched the movie. I know I sound (and most probably am) a total nut job, but everytime I walked past his flat, saw his van there - I couldn't resist saying to myself "There's Something About Kevin". Not out loud of course but it really became such a habit.
So there's a couple of residents moved from the 'hood. Next up were the houses on the market. 'Reclusive Pigeon People's House' has a For Sale Sign on it. You always saw the pigeons but never saw any humans around.
Finally the 'Nice House That Has Just Been Painted' is also on the market. I can never understand why people do up a house when they are ready to sell. You ning nongs! You do it up so you get to enjoy it whilst you are there, so you get some enjoyment of living in a nice home. That way it is in a good condition if the time comes and you either have to, or decide to sell.
That actually was Sunday's photos, as I am writing in reverse mode. As for Saturday? Well I made this lovely Guacamole with beautiful new season Avocados purchased when we were staying over at the beach. One Avocado surprised me however, I have never seen one with a stone this small. And yet the Avocado itself was beautiful and wonderful and buttery. This was a little surprising!
