Looks like he's waiting for you to lob the ball ! :LOL: (y)
It was hot, he needed to cool down but he won't swim and never paddles deeper than belly hairs. He loves these gentle sloping sea beds where he can walk out to exactly the point the first belly hair touches water. Having a dog is like a crash course in applied psychology

One can only laugh at the UK. If you are English you can go to Europe but if you are Scottish or Welsh you will have to quarantine on return - at least until Mrs McShriek and the guy in Wales follow suit. Now this should be fascinating. I drive from cardiff to Bristol, jump on a plane to Spain, have a nice holiday and then fly back to Bristol, drive over the bridge and life goes on. Or will they put passport checks on the Severn Bridge? Or man Hadrian's Wall for escaping Scots? Or perhaps when you return to Bristol having to say where you reside, the English authorities will report you to the Welsh government who can then check up that you are quarantining? What a shambles, and all to make political points.

I think that I have said this before.
These government regulations are to attempt to keep in control of the public.
Generally speaking, people will do what they want. In this case the governments are trying to control those people who DO follow these regulations. If they don't relax or are seen to relax the regs, the will be seen to have lost complete control over the public.
Actually, I think the government has done a good job overall. They are dammed if they do and dammed if they don't.
Look at some of the good things that have come out. For example the NHS didn't get overrun and the did build the emergency Nightingale Hospitals.
Just try and put yourself in their shoes. Could you do any better. I'm sure I couldn't.

I'm flying to majorca tomorrow..... Fingers crossed.

I'm told my boat is all serviced and ready to go, with no unexpected issues found at the service, which must be a first in the 7 years I've owned it.
