We arrived at our housesit and met Jane, our housesit host. We’re staying in a 2 bedroom house that’s been recently renovated, and the most important thing is, it has air-conditioning. We are on 1 acre of property so quite private, although there are other houses around.

We are looking after a 15 year old Rottweiler called Tootsie,

and two cats which are still scared of us.

Our job is to walk Tootsie at 6am in the morning, and basically just feed the animals.

Jane said one thing to be aware of, is that in Texas, most people carry guns. So every now and then we might hear gunshot around the place, but it’s usually people in their backyards just firing their guns. Still, a scary thought.

Jane doesn’t go away until Sunday, but has let us camp here and to get used to the animals before she goes.

Mike is working on our van, with a list of things to fix, while I am trawling through all my footage and trying to make videos out of it.
