Where has the squirrel gone?

This morning I woke up late, but that was taking into account the change from daylight saving to summertime hours.  My son woke with Leia, though his aim was to go on the switch,  this was fine as he had agreed to go to ASDA with my wife in the day.  My daughter had planned to wake in the morning to accompany me to work, but as she was sleep, once my son took Leia out into the garden for her toilet break, I took her to Highwoods Country Park.  However the walk for Leia was cut short as my son changed his mind and I returned home to accompany my wife to the click and collect point for our supplies.

I went into work to catch up with some overdue items to find that despite being on holiday, some people have been giving me work to do! So I spent an hour doing that work instead.  Later, my daughter and I returned home for a very late lunch with my wife (my son had eaten at a more sensible time) and then my daughter and I took Leia back to Highwoods Country Park for her walk.  My son was invited but decided to stay at home instead.


Leia loves the park.  My daughter, who had recently finished watching all the Criminal Minds episodes did not want to walk too far ahead of me in the woods, but I think enjoyed the walk with Leia.  I have a week off left and am not sure if I should exercise in my bike, or by taking Leia back here more often.  Leia loves chasing squirrels but appears to have forgotten that they climb trees, running around the tree to search for them.  This is despite her seeing them run up trees in the park before as well as watching them do that in our garden.  Maybe she is not that smart after all...

Anyway, the evening was finished off by watching Line Of Duty with my wife.  It appears that another police officer is being blackmailed into being corrupt.  I hope, as this was an issue used before, that they turn the tables on those blackmailing them.  Watching Bloodlands earlier this month was enjoyable, and to be fair, I have liked all the productions of Jed Mercurio.
