Typical Sunday morning. Watched my son play rugby.

This afternoon is less typical. We are driving to rural Lincolnshire with a view to buying a puppy – an F1 American cockapoo.

It's a cross breed. The mum is an American cocker spaniel and the dad is a miniature poodle.

Incidentally, if you mate an F1 cockapoo to another F1 cockapoo you get an F2 (second generation) cockapoo, otherwise known as a cockapoo-poo.

I'm not making this up!

We have now purchased, at great expense, an eight-week-old American cockapoo (male).

I will post a picture after we have brought him home next weekend.
