After my depressing day yesterday, Jim was really on form today.
I find that if I take him out in the car and he is stimulated and active, he is a lot happier. So today I decided to take him to Chichester for a wander round the shops and on to one of his favourite places, Chichester Marina for lunch (if he fancied it). I normally have to exercise the patience of Job to get him out of the house, he spends ages looking for his keys, wallet, hat etc but today, with the exception that I had to point out he had his flies open, we got out the house in 5 minutes - result! He was ok walking round the shops and when I got him to the Marina he actually ate his lunch - double result!
I have got something for him to do on Friday, I just need to think of something for tomorrow now to keep the momentum going, the chores will just have to wait!
