Various ramblings
One of the boys invited a friend to dinner tomorrow night. Inviting someone would normally mean food preparation, maybe a bit of tidying up but no. When I heard this person was coming, I decided I'd better do a post!

Our dogs have reached adolescence. They got their 'job' done. One became very sick, reacted to disinfectant vet used. Other fellow was fine. Anyway decided I would get really good at walking them. Up walking early in the morning and maybe again in the evening. Weather very agreeable for this new habit! Hour going forward will make the walking after work so much easier. We are all benefiting from the exercise.
When I walk with Denis, he always gives out to me for walking ahead of him.
Well maybe its a case of the dogs taking after their owners. Barack (so called because he is the first black Collison!) is always way ahead of the other fellow, Charlie. I have to regularly change around which dog is on which side for fear the arm on coming out of its socket on Barack's side!

In these times of recession, my advice to people is - only surround yourself with positive people. This doesn't mean people to which nothing bad happens. This doesn't mean people for whom the recession is not a daily reality. This just means people who can see the half-full glass in any situation.
First up is @TrustTommy. He is never in bad humour. He is a joy to be around. Not for him the angst-y teenager. He has too much to do to have time to get angst-y. His own blog posts though bear that out. I don't need to really mention him.
Second up is a friend of 30 years. (Just counted up how long we have been friends). She has known her share of sad events in the time I have known her. Her attitude and outlook have always been so positive. She truly knows how to enjoy life and living. Yet she is there at a moments notice to all of us.
I have other examples but you get my drift. I suggest spring cleaning your friends. Spend less time with those who can't see the glass half full. We all should develop the 'glasses' of which @TrustTommy spoke before
