How do you stay motivated when learning something new?
Never be embarrassed if you don’t understand something The likelihood is no one has taken the time to explain it properly,or didn’t really understand it in the first place and were therefore incapable of explaining it to you.
That is the secret of learning. Find something that works for you.
The motivation comes from that eureka moment where you realise that you’ve “got it”.
Dog prefers if both of us walk him.Will go to the dog field even with the bird scarer going off if we accompany him.
We even saw the box in the field that causes the noise.All three of us looked to our right at it as it went off,but with lots of words of encouragement it we passed by it.
Back to caravan and mug of tea and lots of massages,belly rubs and ear rubs for the dog.
We went to do some shopping and had a trip to the café for a doggy ice cream,but he’d eaten his dinner about half an hour before in the caravan and we had to put it in a freezer pack for him to have later. It’s in our small freezer compartment in our caravan fridge now.I do admire our little dog’s self restraint
He’s managing , I don’t think he’ll ever get over it completely ,but thankfully we can reassure him.
We ventured to Falmouth again and as it’s a well known Arts University I was determined to find a decent but not too expensive eatery where we could enjoy a meal.
And so we found Cribbs after wandering up and down the High Street, which in truth had a variety of rather worn looking shops and eateries which are probably heaving in the summer when the tourist industry is in full swing.
Cribbs serves Caribbean food and I had saltfishballs and a pea and rice dish which was amazing,perhaps it was the spices or a good quality brown rice but it was delicious.
The dog was let in ,only because they were very quiet and we vouched for him.He was very well behaved as usual but couldn’t have any titbits because everything was too spicy.
The traffic wasn’t too bad, but when we got back the interminable automated bird scarer was firing off and kept frightening the dog.He fell asleep on the caravan floor eventually and we had to lift him into bed when he was sound asleep.
So after my dog having a bad start to the day.Thankfully he had a great day at Tehidy Woods playing in the water.
And then excelled himself by being very brave at Godrevy where he persuaded me to go down a narrow path and down to the beach.
It was quite a high tide and the waves were quite strong,so I thought he’d be a scary cat,but his curiosity kicked in and it was great as it was like we were having an adventure together.
Dog point blank refused to go for a walk this morning at the campsite .It has beautiful dog walking fields, but recently growers in fields nearby have acquired a bird scarer which the sound of turns our dog into a quivering wreck.
At home, we have game shooting, and sometimes fireworks which has the same effect.Very often we have to take him for a drive in the car ,which reassures and calms him.
Down here though,my partner doesn’t really want to drive off somewhere, as the dog seems to think a café is now part of the process.
Today ,the dog was brought to Hollywell Bay,a ten minute drive away,but there was a literal sand storm on the beach so he didn’t want to walk on the beach or the sand dunes.Literally, there was nowhere to go,even the pub doesn’t open for breakfast.
Partner came back very grumpy and we still had bird scaring noises all day.
Put on his doggy ear muffs that do help.Still it wasn’t all bad ,in the end we had a good day(to be continued)
Very gusty winds last night,but they have cleared the cobwebs away. We are so lucky,as the caravan has really good heating and is very cosy.
We had an early breakfast in a café because the dog was frightened by the bird scarers going off.He insisted on being driven somewhere.Anywhere we thought.
Except,what he really wanted was to have breakfast and an ice cream in the café.We acquiesced for a quiet life and it made the dog’s morning.
It meant we had parking all day near the beach,but it was too windy to walk along with the sand blowing in your eyes,probably worse at dog height.
And that was how I found my Echinaforce drops
I had put them in one of the many pockets of my handbag.I use them as I suffer from a tickle in my throat which can get positively wheezy when down here.
I just couldn’t find them and my chest was beginning to gurgle and pop.Hey presto, while retrieving the ticket for the all day parking ,I found them in the one pocket I hadn’t looked in!
And there were horses riding along
Beach road.
It was good if breezy good day.Dog fell asleep trying to stay awake.
