MONDAY THE 12TH OF MAY
Newcastle took a colossal step towards securing Champions League football next season at St.James’ Park on Sunday afternoon, scoring goals in the opening and closing stages of the game to defeat a ten man Chelsea side. The prospect of finishing as runners-up is an enticing one, but regardless of what happens at Arsenal, the task of staying in the top five will be accomplished by defeating Everton at Gallowgate on the final day of the season.
Another early start as we almost ran out of meat, chicken and tripe , I was up early to collect it all. As we do the journal at 2pm we are back home with the freezer stocked back up. I’ve never had meat as good. We have done a bit of work on the journal. We will make all the lists for the coming week and we have also had John O’Reilly here checking hounds that are schooling. The day has gone well.
TUESDAY THE 13TH OF MAY
We are doing the journal at 12 lunchtime as it was a busy morning. Ross Myles right hand man Darragh has collected hounds that are sold going to the UK. I have been for food for pups from the supermarket and a hole heap of bits and pieces from dealz and the hardware shop. We had the vet doing passport and pagie is going to worm pups and trim their nails. Also we are making boxes and beds for mothers and pups.
