Coal fire
December 21, 2008
We had our first coal fire burning yesterday. Great! Lots of heat from just a small can of these little black nuggets. Lighting the fire is a bit tricky and you have to resist the urge to poke the fire like you would with wood fire. If you do, the fire tends to go out. But I got the hang of it now…
Today the weather looked really wintery (is that proper English??) so we went to the Coral Beaches to get some fresh air and allow Jingles to have a run about. He has now shed all his fears of water apparently as he walked into the sea straight away. As we walked back we met with other people with a boxer and both dogs had a good romp on the grass land surrounding the beach. See below for a short YouTube clip of Jingles running about the Coral Beaches chasing sticks.
Then, later on in the afternoon, Trishia and her two Dalmatians walked by and it was Jingles’s lucky day as he had another romp.
Another important fact: today was the shortest day. As of tomorrow days will be getting longer and nights shorter. Hurray!
By the way, if you are by any chance into unusual games or if you’re bored because of the really bad weather, try http://playauditorium.com. I thought it was quite addictive. Interesting to see which levels you manage to reach…
