Definitely autumn now

We had a couple of -3-4C nights this week, so even the tomatoes in the polytunnel got frosted. The dining table's now covered in green tomatoes, some of which have started to change colour enough that they will ripen over the next week or so, and this afternoon we've taken the cover off the polytunnel for the winter.
Today we also took Bob to a training session for reactive dogs, with two other dogs, which might have been moderately useful if we only ever walked him by ambling around in a large, path-less field in which all the other dogs kept a good distance away and were on leads. I struggle to think of how that would be a normal dog-walking situation.
The trainer pretty much ignored everything we said about Bob and how / when he reacts, and showed us a *marvellous* method for keeping his attention, which worked brilliantly but also got him so hyped up that he drew blood pawing at her hand and then started to jump up at her, like we've spent six months training him not to do. Oh, and only worked if you were in a large, path-less field, and wouldn't actually be useful if the thing you were trying to do was 'walk past the other dog', you know, like people have to do when they're walking down the road or along a path.
I don't think we'll be back. |
