Year: 2019

After yesterday’s cold snap, we walked Ellie in the sun and relative warmth. Just as well as we spent a lot of time chatting to fellow dog walkers.

Mal went to the library in the morning, an attempt to use our local resources, before we lose them! He spent an hour on their computers.

I guess one of the bonuses of not sleeping well is being able to watch the lunar eclipse! I’d rather be asleep but thought I may as well fill the time!

My day for Demelza and we had a new lady started helping Jack downstairs, Maryann. We were not very busy but then Canterbury wasn’t very busy either.

Lou, Rhys and the littlies came round after they had been roller skating. I cooked a pork slimming world meal and also liver, onions and bacon. Both very tasty but the kids even seem to like the liver, Lou doesn’t cook it at home. Very few people do nowadays! I also made apple crumble for dessert and I always put cloves in. I think the majority of kids don’t even know what a clove is, so our job to educate our grandkids before these things just disappear!

We watched the Spurs game and they just made it by a very late goal from Winks.

Thought for the Day – “Sometimes you need to talk to a 3 year old so you can understand life again.”

A bit chilly but then it is winter. We went to Wingham orchards with Ellie.

We stopped at the farm shop on the way back. Potatoes seem to have escalated in price AND they are local! They say it has been a bad year for them, don’t they always say that?!

In the afternoon we watched the Hammers game…oh dear they lost. They did mention their goalie did a “Pat Jennings”. He played for Spurs and many years ago came to my parents pub to empty their charity bottle. I shook hands with him, his hands are enormous!

So, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer now has his seventh win!! That will please Rhys. It’s no accident who his son Ollie was named after!!

I went shopping early to Westwood, I needn’t have rushed as it wasn’t that busy. I did remember to go to Argos and buy Ellie some tennis balls as a few have gone out to sea. The proper Head championship ones are the best and last the longest. Mal took Ellie for a walk.

There is a local artist who paints pictures of beach huts, sea gulls and local scenes. I have ordered this one of Broadstairs from him.

I find them amusing.

My dental appointment and I went to one in Canterbury that Heather recommended. She was really lovely and very gentle. Three x rays and she gave me some paste to put on one tooth for a week and to go back. But she does think it is all down to gum disease and will have to refer me to a specialist. She did ask if I had any stress as this often causes it. Erm…yes! I have the next appointment on Thursday and we’ll see what happens.

Heather lives in Canterbury and asked us to go round after my appointment to tell her how I got on, which we did as I’m very grateful she has introduced me to a decent dentist. She had tea and scones for us. I just had the tea so Mal had two scones! Heather and Colin look after their daughter’s dog, Enzo,  two days a week and he was there today.

What a sweetie!

I was supposed to be having lunch with Rhys but he had a stomach upset during the night, so he cancelled. Mal and I took Ellie out and it started raining. A bit of a dull day and lack of sleep with the mouth pain is catching up on me so a quiet day. Ellie had a relaxing day too…
