Ewok took over the bathroom
Ewok took over the bathroom yesterday.
Yes, really. He’s only a ten-week old puppy and I couldn’t even get through the door to take his picture – there was so much “dog beauty stuff” everywhere.
I couldn’t tell you what dog beauty stuff is, all I know is that there was a lot of it…
New hair cut
H was playing in a footy tournament at the weekend as a guest player for a friends team.
This required a new haircut, as seen above. A strange request you might think, but it appeared to work; they won three games from three.
Squirrel Harvest
It’s the time of year when walking in the garden without a crash hat is dangerous.
The local squirrels are harvesting pine cones, which involves the cones being knocked out of the tree and then falling 200ft before thumping into the ground.
This example is from a Douglas Fir . You can tell from the mouse tails.
Finn goes to a party
Pre-party, checking out his moves in his party gear!
Post-party, demonstrating how to merge into the undergrowth.
More Ewok Socialization
A trip to the playground and a game of PlayMobile on the climbing frame.
Obvious when you think about it.
Football for Breakfast
Watching Arsenal v Celtic (second leg) for breakfast, thanks to tv.arsenal.com .
Sounders Camp
Harvey (aka Ljungberg aka Arshavin to his coach) did Sounders Camp.
”Good, very good” was the assessment “but not as good as
Scott’s Hot Shots
!”
Not more cuddles!
By the evening Ewok was getting just a little fed up of all the attention.
“Just a little yawn” he thought, “surely no-one would notice?”
Day five in the little Ewok house
It’s early in the morning and Finn & Ewok are having a cuddle in the kitchen.
Socializing Starbucks
Apparently socializing a young pup is a critical part of his early development.
This being Seattle-land: socializing == coffee == starbucks. Fin.
Ewok: day three
Day three in the little Ewok house and Fay is starting puppy training with a discussion about who is taking who for the walk.
Later, Ewok entertains with his best chewy impression,
before later chilling out with his toys in the evening sunshine.
For those asking, Ewok is a boy Labradoodle , or, to be slightly more precise, an Australian Labradoodle.
Proper walk in the garden
A proper walk in the garden in my new shoes.
Yes, they do generate conversation, and laughter. Lots of laughter, especially from my brother. Lots.
Finn & Friend
Finn & Ewok taking a swing.
[Yes, Ewok pictures have taken over,
usual service may or may not resume at some point in the future]
An Ewok is in the Garden
Ewok arrived this morning
and appears to have spent most of the day in the garden. snoozing.
and watching.
H & F celebrated the arrival in their own special ways.
last minute final snap
Last minute final snap…although if we’d realized the flight was going to be a day late we might have taken a couple more. Nice one BA.
Quackers
Fay took Toni & little H out for a big day in Seattle.
But with a flat camera batt, all you get to see are some views from the back of the duck…
…and the obligatory little H pic!
Cloudy Mount NoRainier
A cloudy day in Woodinville? Let’s head up to Rainier for some sun and views (well, it has worked before).
The boys had the car packed with mountain essentials: DS; Play Mobil; water (with ice); and a safe full of money (plastic).

Windows 7
Well it’s done. RTM 1 was at the end of last month, party yesterday and GA 2 is later in October. W00t! or so I hear they say. On to Window 8?
Posted from a Windows 7 build (as have most of the other c r o s s o a k posts since early 2007, but don’t tell Fay that).
Salad Shaded BBQ Diffuser Food Day – with geeks!
H made the salad
and we flew the wing to get some shade over the deck
which helped to diffuse the light to capture omnitechnews
and the other H’s delightful puddings
