Year: 2021

We walked Ellie along the sea front in Walmer. It was really windy and then started raining. Not many dog walkers out today. We go out whatever the weather.

I was asked to be at home for my telephone conversation with the dental department between 1 and 3pm. We returned from our walk in Walmer at 11 and yes, the phone was ringing and it was the dental department! So many questions that I have answered over and over again. Aren’t their computers centralised anymore? I was even asked what I was going for as I hadn’t had any treatment yet! Perhaps I dreamt the treatment at Kent and Canterbury Hospital and all the examinations at William Harvey Hospital.

The conclusion was Dover Dental Clinic would be in touch with me whenever they had a space. I emphasised that Dover clinic was the place I should be going. (Thanks again Allie for your recommendation!) We will wait and see.

We watched the DNA Journey of Jamie Redknapp and Freddie Flintoff in the evening. I told Rhys we needed something to watch to make us laugh instead of the doom and gloom they keep putting on. We did laugh,  both of us being East enders.

A very windy night and walk with Ellie but the sun was out and everyone we met seems happier. A bit of sun and longer days makes everyone feel better.

Mal went to his old allotment to see if the roof was still on his shed. It is a plastic shed and difficult to secure. He went in between showers and just in time so he was able to re-secure it.

He also heard from the council agreeing that he can take over  allotment 33. Good news. It is one of the bigger allotments like mine. His old one was about half the size.

Meanwhile I baked a no yeast Helim bread.

Mal and I felt very lonely at 8pm doing a slow hand clap in response to the governments derisory 1% offer to the NHS workers.  We were the only ones out in the whole of our road……people have such short memories.

We watched Spurs win their Europa League game.

I would like to thank Allie who contacted me regarding my dental/periodontal problems and I am happily going to take her advice to request that I am seen at Dover. I really appreciate her input. Thank you Allie.

I went shopping in the morning, getting there quite early as usual and had forgotten all the mums were there having dropped the kids off at school. I will have to change my times. It meant I didn’t stay long and probably forgot a lot I actually went for….another day! Shopping is no pleasure at all.

It was raining on and off but Mal managed to get to the allotment in between showers and put some more broad beans in.

I received a letter from Faversham Dental Department saying I had not responded so if they didn’t hear from me, treatments would be cancelled. Having waited all this time for maxillo facial I was pretty annoyed as they have not tried to contact me! I called them and left a message. Eventually they called me back and started talking about me going to a periodontal clinic in Dover!! I told her I was still waiting for three quarters of my treatment at Canterbury hospital!!  Oh, she didn’t know anything about that. The right hand seriously has no idea what the left hand is doing!! I now have a “phone consultation” on Friday!!  What a mix up being made worse by my dentist Penny having retired!!

A lovely walk in the sun.

We went to the allotment in the afternoon and planted the rest of the potatoes and then chatted for ages to Alan on the allotment behind.

Thank goodness they have decided to suspend the use of Manston Airport as a lorry park. Maybe now we will all stop worrying about the speed and the driving of these huge lorries along our access roads.

Josie’s first day back at school. Ollie and Oscar’s return dates are staggered along with the tests.

We took Ellie to the lovely seaside park in Ramsgate. Another coffee to give Alice’s cafe a bit of support. Lovely people there and dog water bowls outside.

In the afternoon we took Ellie to the vets for her vaccinations.  The vet came out to take her in while we waited in the car park. She told us she sat the other side of the door and wouldn’t move, so she injected her there. Ever since her ops she thinks we will leave her again and she doesn’t want to be left. She can be stubborn! She had a check up too.

We had to have a new vaccination card as they are no longer “allowed” to put any entries on the EU pet passport she has!! Crazy.

We watched Hammers win in the evening. Good game.

Caroline, the lady whose allotment Mal is taking over , messaged us to say she was down there clearing things out  if we wanted to know what was where. So, we walked Ellie ending up at the allotments. There are three different apple trees, raspberries, a herb garden, blackberries and much more. At least we know now where to plant things and where not to. There are also two sheds.

We also stopped by my allotment and picked some more daffodils. It was very cold again!

Back home for a roast dinner and football!

Good results with Man U and Spurs both winning.

Thought for the Day – “Everyone has untold stories of pain and sadness that make them love and live a little differently than you do. Stop judging! Instead try to understand.”

Ellie’s walk and then allotment in the afternoon. The sun was out so it was a little warmer, not much but a little.

We went to have another look at Mal’s new allotment.  There are quite a few raised beds already there.

Back to my allotment and I picked spinach while Mal did some weeding. We are waiting for the first rhubarb, not long now.

Thought for the Day – “No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.”
