Going to the dogs...

Hex, the reluctant blogger, has decided to make the report of the visit to the dog racing a team effort.
Bloganory!
Practice line (aborted due to rubbishness):
Slander! is nonsense said Nome reluctantly I thought, nevertheless that...

And starting again, one word at a time from each of the 4 wasptasters, although nome was replaced by Junction Bear for quite a few rounds as she cooked us a delicious roast lunch (with purple sprouting broccoli- how posh!):

Once upon a SATURDAY we ventured to a downright amazing adventure at Shawfield. Here velociraptors didn't peck our wallets however, the dogs led us joyfully to place bets. Everybody won except poor beautiful Hex :(. Chomps developed winning strategies for placing winning avocados ahead of the fastest dog. Nevertheless we decided that gambling created excessive amounts of debts. Afterwards there unfolded weird chinese pyjamas which were very organically crafted. That evil carnivorous dastardly rodent ate fifteen penguins entirely without manners. This appeared to be strange aliens although really this has not got anything to do with dogs. Nevertheless, we must go back to the main event. Everyone had sufficient fun for the entirety of the List task. The end.

Enough of this nonsense. We went to the dogs, placed bets, won some money, spent more, we did not encounter velociraptors nor entice dogs with avocados. Onwards to Ceramic painting!

All Quiet on the Western Front

In the meantime, the east-coast contingent of Chomper and I have been busy. We cooked and ate food together. We talked and thought about the list.

And since then, I've kept thinking. And what I now can't stop thinking about is... Greenland.

It's a short hop from Iceland. It's got Northern Lights. It's got an ice sheet. I'm thinking sea kayaking, I'm thinking hikes to the ice sheet, possibly a dog sled across the ice sheet, I'm thinking northern lights. I'm thinking about an expedition during our trip to Iceland to see the 'tongues'.

I hope everyone else thinks this sounds good too. Not just good: incredible.

Have a look at the Official Tourism Site for Greenland. And drool.
