Weather

Got up 7.15ish and got soaked taking dogs out for a wee. Dainty wouldn’t eat her breakfast when I fed them. Ang came over about 8.45 and stayed a short while. She left just before 9 and a visitor turned up about 9.05. They stayed 20 minutes then I got dogs out for a poo. Got soaked again. Will get dogs out as soon as rain eases off for a while.
Was listening to 2CR when visitor arrived and we talked about Scotland where she grew up. Sounds like a really beautiful place. I’ve never been. Only other country I’ve visited is Wales. I’ve kept my traveling carbon footprint really low during my life. I used to live near where I worked and always took holidays on the British Isles. If I took a holiday at all. TV has allowed me to travel the globe every year. I always used to travel by public transport or hitch-hiked. Didn’t own a car for over 3 years in the last 30. Maybe that’s the way car ownership should go. You get 1 year for every 10 of your life. So at twenty you can own a car for 2 years. Car ownership and the western lifestyle are unsustainable and are detrimental to most sustainable lifestyles.
