Dianne's Diddling Dogs...

Well, this Tuesday we were off to Shroton, via Iwerne, to take part in Dianne and Paul's Tuesday run. Sort of.
The interesting route wasn't without its challenges...

...and hurdles...



...and wooden things to climb over. If only that were all we had to worry about!


The scenery was, as expected, spectacular.


This 'after' shot shows the ferocious beasts which almost brought our evening to an early and messy close.

Was the car really down there?

It was just the four of us and two dogs.


Or was it? Martin and Duncan decided to get in on the game!



But Fiona had the bit between her teeth and was able to out-walk those runners!

Thankfully, we found sanctuary at Dianne's very welcome water station (thank you Dianne!)

And Cocoa? Well, it was almost too much and we glady accepted Dianne's kind offer to ferry us all back. Only problem was, how do we show Cocoa and Bess how to jump into the car?

Come on kids!




Job done!

Diddlers have a different weekend...

Fiona goes back to her childhood and relives her favourite Play School moment. Now children, let's see what's through this window...

A certain DD demonstrates that white line parking is for whimps...

Doreen and Dawne push the boundaries and break some Diddler rules by actually competing in a, dare we say it, race...


Martin pursues his ambitions to become the official DD pin up. Votes still being counted.

Tuesday - a beacon before us!

Yes, we were up on Okeford Hill!

Who on earth is that?


Might have guessed!

She's behind you!

Bess bounces along!


And we can't see the wood for the trees.

Fiona and Sheila discuss the route.

But Bess leads the way!

Yawn.


Home before dark and back in time for pizza!

Dinner for the Diddlers!

Pauline, Dianne and Amanda graciously allowed the rabble to join their celebrations for completing the 2009 Moonwalk in London.

A grand evening lay ahead, full of shocking revealations, tales of daring deeds and busting blisters!

For once, Doreen and Sheila were almost lost for words!


Pauline and Dianne were focused on recharging those carbs!


And luckily Sheila had her camera to record the great event!



Amanda's very healthy roulade with fruit...


Pauline couldn't believe what she was seeing. Would there be any left for her?



She knew what she wanted!

And by golly, she got it!


Others just looked on.

Biding their time...



And waiting...

And waiting...



Until it was almost over.



And there was little else to do...



But reflect on the evening and...

Work out how to pay the bill.



Amanda had received an email at work about achieving great returns from cash investments.


A great night indeed!
