Being wary of cut grass

Not much to report about today, which was occupied with the usual online classes and comic writing.

For lunch I took Scully for a longish walk, paste the Grumpy Baker and around the harbour shore. I grabbed a spicy vegetable roll from the bakery for lunch and walked with Scully down to the grassy area by the water to eat it at the table there. But when we got there, there were gardeners cutting and trimming the grass, mostly completed.

Now, Scully loves cut grass. She loves to roll in it, getting it all over her fur, where it sticks and is nigh impossible to remove without painstakingly picking off each individual bit of grass. I’d planned to sit and eat my vege roll while letting Scully roam around and do her own thing. But now I had to keep an eagle eye on her the whole time and be prepared to run over and stop her if I saw a sign of preparing to roll in the grass.

Fortunately she behaved (mostly) and I managed to eat my lunch without ending up with a dog covered in grass.

In other news, I contacted my friend who lives in the Netherlands and told him the dates we’d be in Europe in June/July. He said he might have a spare weekend to travel on the days that we will be in Prague, and so might meet up with us there. It’s still a considerable trip for him, but in the past we’ve met up in Paris, Barcelona, and Essen, so it’s not beyond possibility that we’ll be seeing him in Prague.
