Billy: When the river runs dry...!

When i woke up early this morning, it was pouring with rain. So i packed a raincoat, and considered my wellies!

By the time I got to Billy's the sun was glimpsing through some clouds, but i still took my jacket.

So Billy, lets go and jump in puddles... he was up for it... Billy is easily pleased.

I had thought it might be too cold for a swim, but i thought the pond was a good destination if only to see if the water level was up. It was looking good, as every bit of flat puddleable (yes thats a word!) ground had puddles in it, and Billy was already mostly wet!

Along the way Billy found something gross to roll in. he gave me a whiff when so very proud of himself he stopped for hugs... PHEW Billy, thats disgusting!

So now i was almost thinking of making him go for a swim... sigh!

But we arrived at the swimming hole and it had been drained... it was empty, nothin' but reeds and dring water grasses... we were both disappointed... for very different reasons!

It did rain for a little while on our way home, but only enough to make me smeel like wet human, and Billy like a wet dog.... that rolled in somethink stinky!

Note to self, check water levels before rolls are allowed....
