Hello? Is it me you're looking for?

Aside from the Lionel Ritchie song I have stuck in my head, there has been one other adventure today.

Basically mum, sister and me off to Ikea today. Mum says she'll be around at 11. Turns up at 9. Okay. I say that I'll have to still get showered and walk dog. Mum says go for shower, and sister can walk dog, time management and all that jazz.

Get showered and dressed. Wait for sis. Wait. 40 minutes go by. This was only supposed to be a quick walk. Wee sis gets bag exhausted with an exhausted looking dog.

Turns out that whilst dog was off the leash in the enclosed park, wee sis was bending down to pick up dog poo, and dog ran away towards main road. Wee sis sprints after her thinking she's going to get run down. Instead dog hops on number 9 bus and driver closes doors and drives away.

Wee sis runs at bus frantically waving arms, bus driver refuses to stop bus as thinks is just trying to hop on late.

Wee sis has to chase bus for 1 stop and a set of traffic lights, where it stops and shout to driver. Driver opens doors. Wee sis explainsdog on bus. "Is there?" says he. Wee sis goes towards dog (who has decided to take a seat at the back looking out the window) who decides that this is a great game and tries to do runner OFF the bus.

Wee soul catches the dog and has to walk home with a very happy dog.

The worst bit is I had jokingly said on the way out "Theres a tenner in it for you if you lose her" Whoops.
