it has, look you see, been a fair bit of time since i mentioned the still relatively recently discovered passion my Dad has for dogging. this silence is because my posts on what my Dad understands the term "dogging" to mean attracted all sorts of unsavoury posts and unsolicited invitations to that other understanding of the word.
no, sorry to disappoint you apparently many fans of what has become the traditional form of dogging; my Dad considers it to refer to when him and his mates take their beloved pet dogs for a stroll over aspects of the many beauties of New Zealand.
when one gets a message from their Dad saying "hey son, how about some pictures of me out dogging", generally caution is best observed when consenting to such. in my instance, i had little or no hesitation, for it meant the chance to see dear old Marmite wandering around.
this, you would hardly need me to point out, all looks lovely. gorgeous, as point of fact. as much as i love roaming around the beauty of Yorkshire, i can certainly understand the appeal of one of the more appreciative members of the Empire, or if you like Commonwealth.
of the numerous islands that form New Zealand, which one is this on? a larger one. traditionally one speaks of New Zealand in terms of islands "north" and "south". however, what they understand to be those points on a compass are not always, strictly speaking, what we believe them to be.
so, it would be somewhat disrespectful for me to go and say a particular island when the people who live on it might call it something else.
it is good to see Marmite strolling out and about. she'll be quite old now, by my reckoning, in particular when one applies the principal of "dog years".
but still, she has roamed in her time a good deal more of the lands that are south of our equator than many, many other living beings. and, so far as i am aware, all of the world agrees on what is south of the equator and what is north of the equator, so no risk of upsetting anyone with that. i think.
other than pictures, my Dad has worked out how to send and receive videos off of his phone. also, how to forward on videos what his mates have sent. so, in this instance, no video that he took whilst out doing what he considers to be dogging, but a rather witty video clip he shared.
i think that might well be Leon Schuster, but it has been a while since i last saw him. well, if it is, well remembered me. should it not be, my apologies to all concerned and nice one whoever did it.
another image of Marmite on that smart looking bridge to wrap this up? sure, why not.
yes, a bit minimalist on words, this post has been. i thought the lovely pictures off of Dad would. however, be of far more interest than much of what i could add on.
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
