Well it's been a while since I've updated this so there is a bit to catch up with.
Firstly it is now official - I'm now old! I picked up my first set of reading glasses last week. The nice thing about this is that I can now read in poor light again. This is something that has been frustrating me for quite some time so when I found an optometrist on Campus I decided it was time to take action. Now all I need to do is go get my hearing tested as that is also failing. Too much time spent listening to Rock music at ridiculously loud volumes us finally catching up with me. :(
On a brighter note I started doing my dog training instructors course last Monday. Did my first assist today after starting back at obedience this morning. Faxon and I are still struggling through Primary Companion. Teaching an Afghan to fetch is proving an interesting problem that I am no nearer to solving so far.
The instructors course looks really interesting and pretty full on - the manual they gave us on Monday night is huge! Worse still there is home work to do, a written assessment and a practical assessment and the end of the course. It all seems fairly daunting at the moment. Hopefully as the course progresses this will improve. The reading list is providing some thought provoking reading as well.
