Ok, so it is Saturday, not Sunday, Spud is a day early this week, as I can’t see how to schedule post publication in Window Live Writer. There must be away, but it is hiding from me.
I have plans to be away from my keyboard this week. I’ll be back.
In the mean time here is Spud investigating a field mushroom, that Mr Uphilldowndale found (not surprisingly) down the field .
There must be a few lines of poetry hidden in the imagery of spaniels ears and mushroom gills. I can see it, but not say it; so I’ll leave that to the wordsmiths..
Watching the rhythm of rural life, from the top of a hill in northern England.
Having spent most of my life avoiding writing, I now need to do it!
I am no domestic goddess, but if I were expecting visitors to my home, I would whisk round with the duster and plump up the cushions and generally make the place look presentable. I hope that by putting my words where others may see them it will encourage me to ‘tidy up and push the Hoover around’ my writing.
On the other hand I may just be adding to the compost heap. Only time will tell!
Pull up a chair, sit yourself down, I’ll put the kettle on.
The version of Windows Live Writer that I’m using has a check box in the bottom right hand corner that says “Set publish date”. If the box is checked you can choose a future date, WordPress automagically does the rest once you click publish.
They use pigs to hunt truffles. I wonder if you could train Spud to hunt mushrooms? — you’d have to teach him to come on point when he found one, though, as retrieving them might not be the best plan.
There’s Spud, deep in a dream of mushroom secrets, unwrapping one delicate fragrance note after another . . . or wondering whether small aliens have landed in a gilled spaceship. One of those.

He’s thinking, “Should I eat it or wait for someone to throw it?”

He looks incredibly skeptical – love the photo!

I love Spud’s thorough investigation. Great pictures of a beautiful dog.

I think that he’s wishing that it was an apple! xx

I see what you mean. I didn’t know they were called gills.
