Nothing beats a early 4am walkies General Chat

Last night I received a phone call from Mr & Mrs Dhammi, saying they not be able to go walkies at our normal Saturday 6am time, as they are going to a wedding & will have to be at train station at 9am, they then said they were going to go at 4am instead, so I said me & my men will come with you, (safety in numbers) so I phoned Mrs Taylor (my sensible walkies club 2nd in command) told her I was not going at 6am walkies with club, as I was going to go walkie with Mr & Mrs Dhammi at 4am instead, then Mrs Taylor said she will come too at 4am & will let Mr Johnson know (he's one of the sensible walkies club admin)
Imagine my surprise when I received another phone call a hour later from Mr Johnson saying all 20 members of my sensible walkies club was going walkies at 4am (we are a close knit club) so this morning at 4am there we all are on park with our strapped on head torches, multi coloured flashing dogs (flashing collars, flashing harnesses, flashing clip on charms & flashing hi vis jackets) running around, looked just like a laser light display.
After roughly being on park for 15 minutes the CAM Watch park patrol turned up & said might of known it be you lot again (4am use to be our regular walkies club time, until we changed it last year to 6am) they then radioed to the CAM Watch control room & all 20 of my sensible walkies club members stood waving at the CCTV camera's (not my men they still hadn't got over shock at being woken up at 3:30am ) after CAM Watch park patrol had left, we carried on walking around the park for about a hour, before heading back home again.
We hadn't realize just how much we miss our 4am walkies, so the sensible walkies club have decided to go back to our 4am walkies at the weekend instead of 6am, its brilliant being on park at 4am seeing all the dogs flashing has they run about.

I suppose it would be too dark to take photos - but Tina that sounds absolutely wonderful and I can just visualise all the flashing dogs [well, their accessories!] - had to laugh about the CAM park watch control turning up though!

Well done you and all your wonderful "sensible walkies club"

Tina how could you? We're all tucked up and snug in our beds at that hour of the morning and even if I was willing to get up and go for a walk wild horses couldn't persuade Georgina to venture out in the dark.

Its brilliant the fresh crisp air an thermal mug of hot chocolate a food flask of porridge, the OAP's have coffee with a big measure of whiskey or brandy in their mugs (by the time we head home you could smell alcohol on the OAP's) the dogs love it too as they got to explore everywhere, without us calling them back, plus there's no strange dogs about just me 2 of my men the 20 members & our 45 dogs.
Oh yes we do have CAM Watch they watching the CCTV on park, couple of years ago we dressed up all in black & wore Halloween masks, we left the flashing lights off the dogs, went from tree to tree until we were under the CCTV camera's then jumped out yelling Boo (the park CCTV camera's have audio on them), 5 minutes later the CAM Watch Park Patrol came flying through park, thinking it was a gang of youths, they yelled at us to remove our mask, you should of seen their faces when they realize it was me & the OAP's, the roll of their eyes said it all

Thank you for that Tina - my lunch is now splattered all over my monitor, my keyboard, and down my front!

Could tell you few more antics we use to get up to at 4am but I don't want you having accident when laughing

You mean like ending up with wet nikkies?

Yes

We don't walk any wet nikkies thank you very much - remember your pelvic floor exercises ladies!

Ah yes, the good old Kegel exercises as taught by our Health Visitor many years ago during post-natal classes.

"Pretend you are on the loo, ladies, half way through a pee. Then clench your sit-upon muscles to stop it."

"Clench and release. Clench and release."

"Now ladies, sitting or standing wherever you are, practice the clench and release, clench and release."

"And that, ladies, will not only ensure that you do not suffer from post-natal pee drip but your husbands will love you during - ahem - what you did to become pregnant in the first place."

By which time most of us were peeing ourselves laughing while her face turned beetroot red!

'ang onna minnim - this is Breedia and should be serious discussions about dogs...

​

Those were the days, PMSL x

My Pilates teacher was very insistent we constantly clenched and released too - apparently we should make good use of time spent standing in the supermarket queue by giving our pelvic floor muscles a good workout.

My supermarket already thinks I am crazy if I start doing pelvic exercise why in check out line there be a yellow paddy van waiting for me at entrant with a orderly holding a straight jacket, NO I stick to going walkies at 4am much safer

Well Tina, the rest of us do our pelvic floor exercises very discreetly, so no one knows we're doing them (unless we are concentrating so hard that we are pulling faces at the same time of course.)

It is not, repeat NOT, necessary to take your knickers off in the queue in order to do them. I think perhaps that's where you're going wrong.

​

I was going to say I thought it was supposed to be a SENSIBLE Walking Club - but we seem to have moved on to an entirely different topic!

Righto leave knickers on & don't pull faces, thanks for tip Janet.
Think I go to express counter from now on so don't have to do pelvic exercises as I not get up from this position x

Oh gosh, oh golly me - I could not GET into that position let alone get up from it!

Yes lets get back to my 4am walkies & I will tell you about our Christmas choir, 2 years ago we all dressed up as Santa including the doggies, I had a short Mrs Santa outfit on but wished I had a warmer one as it was cold specially at 4am well we all arrived at the park & decided the day before we would to sing "We wish you happy Christmas" to the CAM Watch CCTV operators, so we all gathered under the CCTV camera & started singing & some of the doggies joined in by howling, after we had finished the first verse the CAM Watch Park Patrol turned up & moved us all on , but they soon vanished quickly when we decided to sing to them instead
