Busy paws...

Hello my friends….I am slinking in here with my ears down and my tail between my legs…its been so long since I last blogged….sorry about that….anyhoo, here's what I have been up to  recently….

….typist and I were very lucky to get tickets to go and see the international track cycling series known as the Revolution Series….the latest round was taking place at the Olympic Velodrome in London…we got to see lots of the Team GB gold medallists from London 2012 in action...

….they all rode very fast on their bikes…WITHOUT BRAKES!!…eek…..

   you can see one of the crazy races we watched HERE….

…..oh dear…typist was so inspired that he got his bike out on the road for this first time since his big accident last year….ahem, he was caught red-pawed taking selfies as he cycled along…VERY NAUGHTY…..

….Miss Lola has been looking particularly shaggy recently….more of this later….

…last week I got to accompany typist on one of his short jaunts to Europe…here I am waiting to get on Eurostar to Brussels….

….its a very comfy train…and we did not have many other people onboard….

….they thoughtfully provided me with some animal-themed reading for the journey….

….here I am at Brussels central station waiting for a connecting train to Amsterdam…..it takes only 2 hours to reach Brussels and even less to get to Amsterdam from there...

….we lunched on board….PS: the food was revolting!!

….we stayed in our usual hotel in Amsterdam…they know me there and have a fully-equipped office for me when I arrive….

….in the morning we got another train to Arnhem…the Dutch trains are very efficient….

….and on the way back we got to bask in the sun in Amsterdam…..see the canal?

Tram-sterdam!….BOL….

…thanks to Starbucks at the station i got to catch up with my twitter pals….

….the train stations are very atmospheric…..

….I could be in a 1950s film…..

…we snapped this pic during #VinylHour and when we posted it on twitter we got a retweet from the band! I am now there most famous fan….

….Miss Lola has been stripped….she looks like a puppy again….

…dontcha think?

…here she is in Lady & the Tramp…!

….uh oh…we went out cycling again on Saturday….and got two punctures in the first 10 miles!…boo….so we went home….

….Miss Lola was doing her very best to soak up the sun….it was a bit of a rainy day….

…she had to keep moving to find decent puddles….

….we did manage a few walks between the showers...

….and sometimes the sun broke through….

…and when we weren't doing that we watched cycling on the TV….

…Miss Lola does not like it quite as much as me and the typist….

..and she has been feeling a bit sorry for herself the last few days…she's had an upset tummy…and then to cap off a miserable week for her she got into a fight with a doggie…..she's quite a timid lady and sometimes she gets so scared she reacts badly to other dogs….

…so we are going to help her out with some training and also a yellow bandana….its from www.yellowdogsuk.co.uk….and its says she needs some space…..

….there are all sorts of reasons why a doggie might need some extra space once in a while….

…typist and I were supposed to be going to the British Museum today to see the Viking exhibition for @sirbarley and @sadiepetunia but we did not realise we needed advance tickets and when we got to London we realised they had sold out…so we had a boring day in the office….here is what it might have looked like…we shall go next week instead and report back on what we see….

…that was our week my friends….

Clapton….woof
