Friday 9th April 2021

Prince Philip has died, very sad.

I did a little shopping while Mal took Ellie. I can’t do very much at once. I’m alright holding on to the trolley!

Mal fixed the window to one of his sheds at the allotment.

Thursday 8th April 2021

We went to the park in Ramsgate, it is quite protected from the sea, so not too cold. We had a coffee at Alice’s. Ellie loves it there because there are so many dogs to play with.

We dropped off Violet’s birthday present on the way back home.

Mal dug trenches and planted asparagus. I stayed home and rested my leg after the walk. I still can’t walk far.

Thought for the Day – “Remember being happy doesn’t mean you have it all. It simply means you’re thankful for all you have.”

Wednesday 7th April 2021

Happy Birthday to Rhys! They came round for a BBQ and we sat outside but it was cold!

We enjoyed ourselves and at least we could get together even if it was so cold.

We had to collect a pack of meat from the butchers in Birchington and so thought we may as well walk Ellie at Minnis Bay when we had collected it. Mal took her on the beach. I waited for them, it was freezing!

Needless to say, as you can see Ellie went in the sea!!

It was a short walk!

Lunchtime the physio phoned from the hospital, as he promised he would. He was pleased to hear I was progressing and keeping up the exercises and reminded me this does not heal quickly! I said I was happy with the progress even though it is slow and so he said he would report back to my docs.

Mal went to the allotment. I potted some geraniums in the garden. The geranium plants from last year died. They have got through every winter but this year there was one very severe frost which is unusual for here.

Thought for the Day – “No matter what yesterday was like, birds always start the new day with a song.”

Monday 5th April 2021

Again what a difference a day makes. We went to Ramsgate park for a coffee….it snowed!! You can see it on Ellie’s back! It was freezing. We did have a coffee to keep us warm.

Thinking about it, it is Rhys’s birthday this week and it was heavy snow when he was born BUT that was “up North” (Harrogate).

We watched a good Hammers game in the evening. They are now 4th in the table.

Sunday 4th April 2021

I tried to do some of the walk with Mal and Ellie but stood on some uneven ground and had to come back and leave them to get on with the walk. I do try.

Rhys was having a BBQ as he does every Easter Sunday, just this year numbers were restricted, just us and them. A lovely BBQ and so nice to be back together again. AND beautiful sunny weather. Sol popped round to collect something so we saw him too.
