Well, hello again. I have unable to blog for a long time, partly because I was sulking as my archives had disappeared & partly as I couldn't be bothered to read all the Blogger-spiel about how to re-format my template to find them again. A wet Sunday today has given me the perfect excuse to remain indoors long enough to have a bash at it. Hence the new-look Blog. Thing(s) I am happy with 1.

Briggsy’s big day outI am having a big day out at the moment. I am in NZ and it is Sunny. I have lesbian shoes now. I had scrambled eggs on toast this morning. I like the green grass. I like the cows, and dogs, and magic pies. I am happy in NZ. I cannot sleep in, in NZ. My pyjamas are clean. I cooked lamb shanks. I am a bit farty at the minute. I am going to book the ferry today.

Usually we meet at oh-stupid hundred hours, set off for Wales & arrive for a 1000 walk start time.

'Sorry ... he doesn't like hats'Today I left a sleeping Milky and headed towards Headley to do some more walking.

Ken Dodd’s Dad’s Dog’s DeadDay 2 of overcast & unpredictable weather, welcome to an English summer MilkyNZ ! Bloo texted to say ‘She’s here’ at 1915 hours last night. She went on to elaborate ‘I’m here, tired & smelly’ and informed me that ‘traffic on the M3 was light’. See, acting like a local already MilkyNZ, apart from the smelly bit, sort that out love. You won’t know whether you’re coming

Avian actionYesterday I went to Birdworld. It was a great day out. I saw this.And some of these. Sorry it's not a great photo, I was rushing to get to the John Deere.

A pony ? Stuart successfully completed the marathon & must be bitten by the bug as he's signed up for the Dublin one. You will recall he ran for Guide Dogs for the Blind & raised over a £1,000 in donations, (thanks to all those who sponsored him - it's not too late if you still want to) He says that some representatives from the charity came to the finish line to cheer him over - complete with

Puppies (oh and the Marathon ... or something) Stuart is running the London Marathon on Sunday for Guide Dogs for the Blind.

‘Tap dancing weirdo’Night dutyThe warm weather brought the freaks out for a horrendously busy night duty and I was quite relieved to get the last few off. My favourite story was during my nights off & concerned Rachel & Nick who were paired together. Rachel is quick off the mark & takes no nonsense. Nick is her diametric opposite. When officers are paired together, an unwritten rule suggests that
