End Watch

So Barak Obama is now the president elect. A man sprung from nowhere. Millions of dollars backing his campain. He has all the hallmarks of the left behind series.
Personally if I had been an American I would not have voted for him. Then again I am not too fond of McCain either. Would I have voteted? Oh of course as I am an Australian and every Australian is obliged by law to cast a vote, I would therefore have cast one.
What sort of President will Obama make, I watch with interest. I hope his security is top notch. But then if he is the ONE, he will be protected. If that is so...God help the world.

Will Barak Obama be the next president? How long will he last if he does get the top job? Is he the guy predicted for the end times? The charismatic guy who destroys the world? If the answer is yes to some of the aformentioned questions then we are in for interesting times.
Then again he could be the saviour of mankind.
Who ever becomes the president of the USA will be a pain for the rest of the world as usual.

When does it not rain in Scotland? I hate the weather. Took Redd out for his midday walk and we came home soaked. I managed to towel dry him somewhat at the front door but he got away from me and ran the the bedroom and jumped on to the bed and then proceeded to rub himself all over the duva. To hell with it, I will just put a clean one on later. Normally he wont get on the bed unless someone is in it and that is usually Tom who has gone out today. Plus I have usually put a large towel or two on the bed but not today. It is the wet weather it is rotting my brain.
Australia is calling me.
I wonder if my brother will pay my fare? Huum not if my sister-in-law has a say in it.

My partner has a cold/flu. Is it a bad cold/flu? Well as he is a male therefore it is and he is a dying duck. He had been too ill, oh yeah, to even take the dog for a walk.
Now I have the flu, I still have to clean the house; cook meals and walk the dog.
I did get a sleep in this morning but only because Tom felt better and had been up all night on the computer talking to his mates in the States and playing, Americas Army. It was nice to have a sleep in and get up at 11am instead of 7am. And there was my faithful Redd by my bed. I peered down at him and his tail thumped the floor.
I have informed Tom I am not cooking anything today, he can get his own meals.
Today is my day off. But I am going to have to take Redd for his afternoon walk, not that I really mind, as his lordship is fast asleep on the lounge.

Redd's behaviour has gotten so much better. He is a different boy to when we got him. Most of all he no longer growls at or bites Tom, such an improvement. Redd gets of furniture when told to rather than growls at Tom. But he is still a little defensive about his stones when bringing them home. He will give just a little growl but it is not a really threatening one, no bared teeth to go with it. We accept that and warn others usually children not to touch his stone even when he drops it as he will snatch it if any tries to take it. He might inadvertently nip them. Yet once the stone is in the house he loses interest in it. We gather all the stones and rocks, sometimes quite large ones, and take them back to the beach and/or the burn.
Redd is still a little bit of a handful, plenty of time to improve.
