| su 22 my 11 | Saw a rabbit with myxomatosis on an A12 grass verge near Martlesham yesterday, it really is the most unpleasant disease. |
| tu 22 fe 11 |  Judging by the signs around Waldringfeld and Newbourne they are pretty annoyed by BT's proposed 2,000 house development but at the Suffolk Land Rover Owners' Club off road course the object was the pursuit of fun. Last time we visited it was dry and sandy but Sunday it was very suitably muddy with Landys getting stuck and a Range Rover that rolled on to its  side ... all mostly ignored by the pigs in the field next door. On the way back we saw the Melton Horse and Groom is still shut and in the Campsea Dog and Duck no lunch but good company.

 The Suffolk constabulary is a small force with no dog breeding programme and just about all its police dogs are rescue dogs. Rescue dogs do tend to have "issues" so it's much to the training and handlers' credit that the force's 22 dogs enjoy rewarding lives and perform valuable service. Surprisingly a dog van might contain both a general duties Alsatian and a specialist sniffer dog, though they do each have a private compartment. We learnt this today at police hq in Martlesham where there was a media show and tell in anticipation of the national police dog trials in April at the Trinity showground just up the road a bit.
