As you know I have become fairly knowledgeable about property buying recently. I go to all the meetings with estate agents and brokers, and I just curl up under a chair – listen and learn! What I have picked up is that Mum keeps our own mortgage as low as possible – she believes if you are going to pay the interest on mortgages they should be taken out on an appreciating asset. Mortgages are one thing but she doesn’t have a lot of love for secured loans, apparently people take them out to buy things like cars and then later on they find they can’t make the repayments and their home is in danger of repossession. It must be true because we saw quiet a few repo homes in our search.

What does the term dog kennels mean to you? Mum asked me this last night, in one of our usual profound dog debates. Well I have never had an outside dog kennel, but I remember we visited friends of Dad’s just after I arrived here and their dogs sleep outside in their own kennels. The other thing I remember about that visit is that I lifted my leg in their kitchen, I’m ashamed to say. I was a bit nervous in my new surroundings, I think. When I beg at the table during dinner Dad often threatens to make me sleep outside like those guard dogs. Sure – he would be coming outside to check that I was OK right through the night, the big softie!

I do get bored when it rains and I can’t go for a nice long walk. On Saturday we had a nice sunny afternoon but most of last week was rainy – and cold. Then Sunday was wet and today it started raining at 11am. We managed to get to the park this morning for a short walk and we were wondering why it is so cold after the great weather we had in the spring. Then we remembered: the Chelsea Flower Show starts today, it is usually cold for the first two days of the show so we look forward to some sunshine on Thursday and Friday.

Here are is another image by Dog Portrait Painter Ben Wilson, who was arrested last week for painting one of his iconic images on a patch of discarded chewing gum. Ben brightens up the streets and makes art from these annoying patches. Here is a picture of a pink elephant that he painted at the request of a four year old girl who lives locally.
