This morning started with a run over to Stratford with Whiffler and Hobson.
We have reached that point in the month when they serve as models at the dog grooming school. For the princely sum of twenty quid they are bathed and groomed by one of the student groomers. We understand that grooming a Standard Poodle is the final exercise in the dog grooming curriculum. They are a large dog and the cut is complex, so it is the final, pre-graduation exercise.
They usually come back looking pretty good, although there have been a couple of occasions where I have had to grab scissors and clippers to finish off a half arsed job.
Anyway, I got the dogs dropped off and then headed out around the Three Miler with The Rat. She seemed to enjoy being walked on her own, as Hobson does have a tendency to play rather roughly ... whether The Rat wants to, or not!
The afternoon saw me standing on a step ladder applying putty to the window frame at the North ish end of the store room. I then made a start on fitting the security bars. I got as far as fitting the top spacer batten and temporarily removing a downpipe , which will make the installation far more straightforward.
The early evening saw me head up to the Parish Education Centre for the final Tai Chi session before a two week Easter break. I really am enjoying Tai Chi, but parts of it leave me totally wrong footed.

Post Script
I suppose, for the sake of completeness, I should mention that 30% collected W&H and they looked absolutely splendid. Clearly groomed by someone graduating with Honours.
