Another bargain holiday to North Cyprus, the Malpas Hotel this time!
Rosie is now on three legs! Her foot is sprained, there was something lost in translation at the vets. To be honest Mal was listening and I wasn’t as I was holding Rosie down. That is why we have to go back and have her front leg strapped if it doesn’t improve in a week.
We were going out so I tried to get Rosie to ‘do her business’ in the garden. She is so used to going for a walk first thing she just hopped round the garden behind me and did nothing! Nothing else for it, we managed down the drive, a sniff or two and she performed, doggie bag with me, so we attempted to go back up the drive. I eneded up carrying her back up as she couldn’t make it. I’ll have to think of a better idea in the future!
Mal and I left and took the car to Ziggy’s garage so he could fix it after my “crash”. When I told him what had happened and how the Police were he was really cross and said I should have phoned him. I wish I had! Anyway, he ordered the parts and said the bodywork would have to be bashed out before the light covers would fit. He said he would ring when the parts arrived which he did and we agreed to take the car in tomorrow.
We then drove on towards Bellapais and visited some friends in their new office and Mal did a bit of ‘computer tweeking’ and then off to Multimax to pay the bill.
We didn’t really mind how long we were out as Rosie is supposed to ‘rest’ for a week and we know she just sleeps when we are out. When the doors are open she tries to dash around the terrace seeing who is going by. In the evening we closed the doors to make sure she stayed still. She is not a good patient because she is so used to being active. She still isn’t eating much in spite of doubling her dose of Rymadil.
In the evening we watched another episode of “One Night”.
Our jasmine by the pool room door has the most gorgeous perfume. It always reminds me of Rhys because when I grew a lot on the UK, I loved the perfume and he said it smelt like ‘Cat’s pee’!!
Thought for The Day – “Plants that wake when others sleep. Timid jasmine buds that keep their fragrance to themselves all day, but when the sunlight dies away let the delicious secret out to every breeze that roams about.” ~ Thomas Moore
