OK - I know - I am horrible at keeping my blog up to date!

Anyway... Things are going pretty well. I am doing swimming lessons at the Dartford Council pool. This is the equivalent of the city pools in Fayetteville... So. Yuk. And the place isn't wonderfully maintained, so, like this past week the boiler wasn't working, so the pool was cold and there was no hot water for showers. But, on the other hand, the lessons are cheap enough and, being a kayaker, I really need to be a better swimmer. I've only had 2 of the 10 lessons so far, but, its already helped immensely. For one thing, I can actually get my head under water to swim. Hopefully, I will actually be able to get really good at this eventually.

The dogs and stuff... Dingo attacked Emma AGAIN... This time, Ray had just gone to drop me off at the train station in the morning. Just 15 minutes or so... And yet... So, we are getting a dog behavioralist in to work with her. They will evaluate them and see what we can do. As it is now, we keep them in different rooms every time we leave at all now. Or one of them goes in the car with us. We don't even let them in the back yard together and alone. But, rather than wait for the day when Dingo really does serious damage to Emma, we figured that maybe these folks can help us with her. It's odd, but Dingo is getting along fine with Abbie, and with Ed.

So, tomorrow is 7 years of being married to Ray... Wow.

Ummm. Not much else to say.
