New Balls

We headed off down the beach but not before the pool man came around for a visit and asked us out for coffee, we declined as the hound needed a walk and as I could do with a good stretch so we set off to the beach ourselves.

We arrived at St Raphael beach and headed in towards Limassol town, Stitch was kept on the lead as my beloved didn’t want to have to pick up a wet pup and carry him across the wooden bridges, well not until we were finished our walk and finished with the bridges.  We had a lovely walk and the temperature was just dandy, although the weather was overcast.  We stopped off for a cuppa half way along and to let the pup rest then headed back again,  Stitch was eventually let off the lead and as I had found him a new toy which was obviously lost out of some poor child’s pushchair (hope they don’t have worms) we threw the ball along the shoreline and into the water for him, great fun was had until my beloved had to wade in and reach it because it had got stuck and Stitch wouldn’t go into the water himself.  He did however follow my beloved into the water and promptly got wave crashed which resulted in him being momentarily submerged,  well when your only shin height it’s always gonna happen.

After a few more rounds of throw and fetch we headed for Malindi’s where my beloved could wash off the sand from his feet and we could get a drink, it might be overcast but man it was muggy, and all three of us were gasping.  The waitress bought Stitch some water and tried to get him to chat with her but as usual he just turned his back and sat there shivering, well he was soaked from nose to tail, I thought it best to put him in the car where at least it would be warmer, but not before he was offered a blanket by the waitress, obviously a dog lover.

Eventually when we arrived home I managed to find Mississippi Burning online and we got to see the end of the film, but not before trawling through numerous sights of a dubious nature, and having to close down adverts on every page I opened,  we really do need some kind of TV provider we have only been in the house a month and a bit and still we wait for Cyta to provide for us….. I have a feeling we will get to Saudi before we ever get TV again.
