I have to admit, yesterday I was whining that no one had posted any comments on my blog. Kim then informed me that my comment section had been turned off! WHOOPS! You are all forgiven now! LOL

Tuesday in Huntspill began with figuring out how to get more water pressure in my shower. We are all having fun trying to figure out the different technology…. In my shower I have a point of source water heater, but not only do you have to turn it on in the shower, there’s a string hanging outside the shower that you have to pull as well. I have to say, I love the one string that you pull that activates a bathroom heater! Outside the bathroom there’s another strange string hanging from the ceiling—that one turns on the bathroom light. All the power outlets in the walls also have switches. You have to plug in and then flip the switch (which of course I keep forgetting!). My overhead light has gone out and I’m almost too embarrassed to blame a burnt bulb. I’m sure I’ve hit a wrong combo of switches somewhere!!!!

Our hotel features a hot English Breakfast. When I came into the dining room, the lady asked if I would like Fried Eggs with sausage, bacon, ham, fried toast, beans, mushrooms and tomatoes or poached eggs. I thought it was a little strange that it was an “or” meal—guess one is healthy and one not so much? I couldn’t handle the thought of so much meat and fried toast, so I opted for the poached eggs…. Today I may get braver!

After breakfast, Kim, Recess, Rio and I took a long walk along the public paths by our hotel. Its so great to have these here for us to go out and stretch our legs! Recess did her best to get Rio to play with her, but Rio just didn’t get it. Poor Recess.

After lunch we headed to a local agility club for some practice time. On our way there we got lost and the bus ended up following the McCann’s rented car (yes, having a bus following a Canadian driver who’s on the wrong side of the road was a little adventuresome) and at one point we got a little lost on a cute little country road where every house had its own name instead of street number. In the bus I overheard Tracy calling for directions and saying that we were at the corner of “Hen” road and Duck Lane (which I thought was totally appropriate and very funny because we’d past lots of homes with wandering ducks and chickens.) Turns out it was something like Kenn Road not Hen Road, but I like the other name better J Our hosts at the field greeted us with coffee, juice, pop and plenty of biscuits. I think I could be very large if I lived here between the breakfast (where else is fried bread on a menu??), the biscuits in my room and of course the beer. Practice ended with a Manager’s Challenge where Tracy & Nina offered a drink a day for the rest of the trip for anyone who ran the course clean and their supporters. I finally cracked under the pressure and earned myself a refusal on jump #4. Agh! It also could have been that I had just given Rio a cool down massage. Whoops. Guess I really needed Carol Smorch and her 220 volt energy work (Speaking of Carol, she arrived just before dinner. Totally off topic, but a huge congrats to her husband Terry and their dog Presto on earning a FCI spot at the AKC tryouts on the weekend!!!)

Dinner was organized by the agility group that hosted us. We had a very, very yummy dinner in the Gate House of an old castle. It was a great relaxing evening! Today things get slightly more ‘serious’. We have an hour practice at the facility mid-afternoon a team dinner and then hopefully an early to bed night!

This morning, I’m hoping to get in another good walk and hopefully find a bank machine. I still can’t seem to get cash with my interac card and buying cheap beer with my credit card seems wrong!
