We headed back to the pet store to try a different size harness, although there was some improvement in Winnie’s pulling, there seemed too much slack in the harness.
Now Sod’s Law came into effect because the small pack they had yesterday had been sold, so we returned ours and got a refund. There was another pet store right across the highway, hopefully it would carry the same products.
Well they did, but the small harness was too small. This meant that we had to look at different products that might fit better.
The one we chose was far more robust, a full harness resembling something a fighter pilot would wear to hold his parachute, this must do the job. Of course being a pet shop others brought their dogs into the store, causing Winnie to bark her head off. As the sound reverberated around the building we paid for our purchase and made a hasty retreat.
I was due to have a recording session with Chris in the afternoon. As we only had a limited time, I was hoping he would be on time, but he wasn’t, fifteen minutes late. He wanted to do a vocal recording on a song we worked on a few weeks ago. I set up the microphone, and had several run throughs, he voice was not at its best, but with a cup of camomile tea with honey it improved. In the time, we got something recorded, maybe not the best, but it gave us something to listen to.
Then it was a quick walk with the dogs, and I managed to remove the last of the grass in the area I was planning to lay gravel.
I then levelled out the dirt then laid a landscape membrane over the whole area. I then emptied ten bags of gravel on top. They disappeared and made little impression on the space. I guess I could get another twenty bags to finish the job.
