An early morning walk across the fields with Ellie.
It was nice not to come back covered in mud!
I phoned Pam who has now returned from her 16 day cruise around Norway. The first week good, the second horrendous with gales and getting thrown around the ship! She has also come home with a really bad cold. Poor thing.
I know it is April Fool’s Day and I loved this one from our vets…
“Introducing AirPawds™ the future of pet communication is here!
We’re very excited to launch a brand new product, available exclusively for Beacon View clients…
AirPawds are specially designed earpieces that fit comfortably into your pet’s ears and provide live translation, allowing us to finally understand exactly what they’re trying to tell us.
No more guesswork… we can now simply ask.
Claire has always dreamed of being Dr Dolittle, so it’s safe to say she’s very excited about this upgrade to our diagnostic toolkit.
Appointments for AirPawd consultations are now open…

Lunchtime I had an appointment at the Canterbury dentist for what should have been the final fitting of the new dentures, which Zareen seemed to have made a very good job this time around…last time they didn’t fit properly. I sat in the chair and she asked me if reception had been in touch with me…no they hadn’t! She then explained that the technicians who actually make the dentures have a new cleaner, wait for it……..she knocked a whole lot of dentures off the shelf broke them and then threw them in the bin!! So back to the beginning, the last three visits have been pointless. She took new impressions. I think she thought I was going to be angry…..what was the point, it wasn’t her fault. Things have a habit of going wrong, well for me anyway!!
Then we were changing from Sky to Virgin (Sky keep upping their price for a slow internet). Virgin should have come yesterday but it was put forward to today between 1 and 6. At 5.30 he called them and was told they were on their way! At 5.45, 6 of them arrived and set to work. They even channelled it through the pavement and filled it in. They were so good , fast and very pleasant. What a change. They completed it all by 7.
Later my Sainsbury’s order arrived. I ordered their half price, lamb, beef and sides of salmon (3) . The lamb for the weekend and the rest in the freezer. Following my order to the lodge, they gave me £14 off this order and most of it was half price. It worked out my savings , with Nectar were more than I paid!
