Year: 2021

I only woke up once during the night for painkillers, so a great improvement.

Mal and I walked Ellie, she is getting so many treats around Sandwich that I am going to have to cut her food down. Even the men with their cart that walk around Sandwich emptying the small bins, have a section on their carts for dog biscuits! Believe me Ellie knows every one! There are also a lot of ladies with shopping trollies who do the same. Ellie just walks up to them and sits down in front of them with appealing eyes! Such a scrounger. Here is just one!

We almost made it home when Jasmine, along our road, hung out of her window to give her a treat!

Mal went to the allotment and I went shopping in Deal to buy a new kettle amongst other things. I went to the fishmongers too, to buy some crab.

I still have loads of huge sunflowers left in the garden in spite of the snails shredding a lot of their leaves.

I only woke up once in the night desperate for a pain killer, so things are improving with my mouth.

We haven’t taken Ellie to the sea for a while, so took her to Westgate. There were very few people on the beach, the weather was very cloudy, I do feel for the people on staycations. We sat and had a coffee before coming home.

Mal went to the allotment in the afternoon while I looked up places to go for the Hatters. It started this morning with trips being delivered into my email. This then continued to Mal and I booking a weekend away at a Warners in the Isle of Wight at the beginning of next year!! This seems to happen every time I look for something for the Hatters and then find things we want to do!!

I did get as far as Brick Lane Music Hall and Greenwich Christmas Cruise, yes both for the Hatters!

I managed to get some sleep.

Lou and Rhys invited us over for a BBQ so I made sure I had plenty of rest before going in between making a lemon cheesecake and trifle to take with us! Tariq and his new girlfriend, Alex were there and as Tariq bought me several bottles of Creme de Cassis for my trifles, I have to make them when he is around!  We were also joined by Tariq’s friend Harry and  Maddie and River. I ate nothing, well a couple of prawns but Mal made up for me!

It was so nice to see everyone.

Mal took Ellie for a walk and he made me sloppy porridge for breakfast which I was able to eat luke warm. I then went into Canterbury for the dentist. I always leave plenty of time but today Wingham was almost blocked so I had to wait ages in a traffic jam.  I really didn’t need that and so I was a little late. I think the dentist I saw was a locum, she prodded around my mouth, ouch and then gave me antibiotics and told me she would discuss with Avraj when he gets back from his holiday. I already have an appointment with him on 7th.

I spent the rest of the day dosed up with pain killers and in bed. I think the drive to Canterbury and back feeling ill took it out of me.

Thought for the Day – “If only our eyes saw souls instead of bodies….how very different our ideals of beauty would be.”

I was in pain all night with my mouth, lots of pain killers. Rhys came early to collect Roddy as they had driven through the night to come back from Cornwall. I phoned the dentist as soon as they opened but Avraj is on holiday and I can’t have an appointment until tomorrow.

I ended up doubling up on pain killers and going back to bed for a while. Not fun.

I should have been at Hatters lunch in the afternoon! I wouldn’t have been able to eat anyway!

In the evening we watched the Hammers game, a good game and much to Mal’s delight, they are now top of the league.

Thought for the Day – “Focus on the step in front of you, not the whole staircase.”

We were woken up by a violent storm overhead and plenty of rain. As soon as it had stopped we took the dogs walking, huge puddles all over the cricket pitch. If there was a match this afternoon, it will now be cancelled! This was the Guildhall car park!

My mouth started hurting , the third of the bridge that Avraj left in, to act as a crown, so I downed pain killers and we  went to Petticoat Lane (Ramsgate). I didn’t want to sit thinking about the tooth. It’s always fun to browse all the things you never knew you wanted at the ‘Lane’ .

There is also a dress shop there, Bow Street Boutique, which sells lovely dresses, shoes, handbags and jewellery. I just went in for a look around and came out with a dress, ready to take to Malta, if we ever get there!

Back home and I cooked garlic and pepper soup. It really is delicious and we have so many vegetables from the allotment, it is good to use them in different ways. We both love garlic and we won’t be seeing anyone today, lol.

We then watched the Spurs game. I have to say Wolves played well but we did win!

Thought for the Day – “Perhaps the butterfly is proof that you can go through a great deal of darkness, yet become something beautiful.”

Up early and we took Ellie and Roddy to King George Park where they had a really good run around but because we were early Alison’s Kiosk hadn’t opened for our coffees! But the sun was peeking through the clouds.

And a drink for the thirsty dogs………

Football in the afternoon.
