On The Island

Ellie chose the walk in Knees wood again and went further than we thought , then a drink for all of us at the Captains.

We then left an exhausted Ellie at home and went into Deal and had our lunch at Spoons.

It was nice sitting outside.

 

Rather humid so another short walk around Sandwich.

We were going to Ramsgate Day but with the road closures….no thank you. Instead Mal was painting more woodwork.

We watched the last episode of Slow Horses and now have to wait for September for series 6!

We drove to the cricket pitch, so Ellie didn’t have to walk too far and this was at 6am.  Quite a lot of people out walking their dogs.

So many more tomatoes in the garden, our menu has changed slightly to accommodate fresh tomatoes! Delicious.

Mal started decorating the bedroom, starting with  the woodwork.

A hot day!

Up and out at 6, Mal walking Ellie and Me going to Dover to shop before it became far too hot! I can’t even contemplate going anywhere in the opposite direction as Southern Water has closed the roads.

What with that and the toll bridge closed maybe we are under siege! They are now putting concrete barriers up as idiots were still trying to cross the bridge!

So much for our plans to attend the Ramsgate day on Saturday. It looks as though we may get there but no way are we doing a 31 mile diversion to get home. It will be bad enough heading home from work on Monday!

A walk around Sandwich in a lot of shade.

We then showered her as it has been a while and it will hopefully make her feel a bit fresher.

I transplanted some of my spider plants. I am hoping someone will want them! A partial eclipse in the evening, nowhere near as good as the one we watched sitting on a beach in South Cyprus in 1999, that was in the middle of the afternoon and quite spectacular.

We went into Eastry to collect Ellie’s food from the vet and so walked her in the shaded woody part of the fields.

We think this part of the fields may have been someone’s private garden in the past as there are walnut trees, peach and plum trees and so many damsons.

Later in the afternoon the doctor phoned and told me that following my last blood test, she has made an appointment with the gastroenterologist. Interesting!  She said it will take about a month.

The book , Volume 1 is now complete!

 

A busy work day.

The garden is flooded with tomatoes and now they are all ripening.
