Month: January 2021

Again my car was frozen solid. It was very cold and a lot of ice. We had a box to deliver and then went to the beach. Ellie does love the cold water…funny dog, she wouldn’t go in the Med!!

We stayed in the warm the rest of the day. Well done Crawley for beating Leeds in the FA cup and even though Spurs won, well done Marine for taking part and doing so well.

Another chilly walk with Ellie, with a little rain.

I shortened the spare room curtains, a job I have been meaning to do for a long while.

A cold day, my car was frozen and that doesn’t happen often. We walked Ellie and it was misty and some of the river was frozen.

I made red cabbage and onion soup for lunch. It was delicious, I think the secret is the balsamic vinegar. Lovely on a cold winters day.

We watched ‘Beat the Chasers’ in the evening, I think we are a bit addicted. Paul Sinha is definitely the best and has a wicked sense of humour. Hopefully we can go and see him again in Margate later in the year.

We wrapped up warm and took Ellie to Stone Bay. She does love the beach.

Mal went to the allotment in the afternoon and I cleaned and moved some furniture around.  When you are at home all the time, it’s nice to make some changes.

Thought for the Day – “If we could look into each other’s hearts and see the challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other with more love, kindness, compassion and patience.”

We walked Ellie around Sandwich and ended up at the Post Office as Mal had something to return to Amazon. Ellie and I waited outside getting very cold. He was so long because the assistant deleted Mal’s QR code from his phone! He then couldn’t get any reception so had to come back out and go through his deleted and return back to the queue! The assistant wasn’t in a good mood as she was asking people to fill in customs forms for things going to Ireland and France with customers arguing they had never had to do it before…………………….oh, the wonders of technology and Brexit!

She didn’t even apologise to Mal.

I received my pictures of Sprout, the guide dog for the blind puppy I am sponsoring. How sweet.

Later we took all the Christmas decorations down and packed them away. It all looks a bit dull down our road at night now.

Manchester City won tonight’s semi final for the Carabao cup, so Spurs will face them in April.

We went to Dunelm as we ordered a click and collect and thought maybe they would decide to close down, so didn’t want to leave it any longer. Mal loves shopping at Dunelm. I order online and then he just collects it at the door!! Perfect. We had Ellie in the car and so went on to Ramsgate beach on the way home, dodging the rain! That’s our exercise for today.

I have been playing with my new phone and sorting out things on it.

In the afternoon I went to the cemetery and took all the Christmassy things away from Torin’s grave and put some fresh flowers there. All the grass there is like a quagmire.

Success for Spurs….we are in the final!!

Thought for the Day – “Make every day a little less ordinary.”

It was raining again and cold. We were supposed to be meeting Mal’s sons on Margate beach but they called off because of the rain. Postponed until the weekend!

I popped to Tesco, a very quick in and out and then home and ordering a few seeds in the afternoon.

So another announcement from bumbling Boris…………..kids have been back to school today and he is now saying schools are closed until mid February….make your b****y mind up bumbler. Why weren’t schools closed before and again…churches can stay open. I do not see the sense in that at all. Lockdown or NOT??!!

Thought for the Day – “Hope but never expect. Look forward but never wait.”
