Bark chippings - look how much we got!

Three piles of bark chippings like this were delivered to the site the other day.  I use it on my paths.

Yes, they were doing work in the park next door.  We are very lucky, we get logs too.

It's all thanks to Graham my dog.  For some unknown reason he has decided that I will have had enough sleep by 3:00 so he barks to get me up.  If I didn't get up he would carry on barking till I did and I don't want to wake the rest of the family.
 
I went downstairs, checked if he wanted to go out, he didn't, he went back to bed and I was wide awake!

I don't mind getting up early, even if Graham didn't wake me up I wake up naturally at around 5.  The downside is that by the time it gets to 8 in the evenings I can't keep my eyes open.

Perhaps Grahams clock hasn't adjusted itself yet ;) ;D.
