We went around the orchards with Ellie and then Mal dug up the last of this batch of potatoes.

Ellie and I played ball on the field next to that allotment.

 

Later Mal went to his Preston allotment and I cleared the front lawn of leaves. It was covered. There is a lot to do out there, so a good time as no rain today.

Thought for the Day – “The best days are when you don’t need anything extreme or special to happen to make it great. You just appreciate and enjoy what is and that is perfect enough.”

Ellies “friend” the pony was playing with her this morning and as soon as Ellie started walking away, she nibbled Ellie’s back and pulled some fur out! She didn’t bother.

Her underneath gets very muddy,

A clean down for her and then Mal and I went to Westwood. Our bargains (at the top of the page)has had 40% off at Brantano shoes, so we made the most of it. A pair of Clarks shoes for me, some Skechers for Mal,and a spare pair of wellies and a couple of Christmas presents! That’s a good mornings shopping. We then had to get back to watch the last Motogp race for this year. Sadly Rossi lost out.

Then it was the tennis and Murray lost the final, followed by the football, a busy day!

Thought for the Day – “If life were easy, where would all the adventures be?”

We decided to walk over the fields in the morning, much quieter than going to the beach with all the excitement yesterday! We collected the newspaper on the way back, the only day we ever buy one.  There is a lot of mud around but a good thing we have a back door with a tiled hallway for Ellie.

We even managed a bit of gardening.

In the evening we went to the Winter Gardens in Margate to watch the Pub Landlord, Al Murray. I made the mistake of getting seats in row D right in the middle, forgetting he talks to the audience all the way through, picking on people. Thankfully it was the man in front and the lady behind. He was so funny. He told people not to take photos and really ranted at a man who did. To compensate he took three selfies!

We took Ellie to Minnis Bay as it was really warm. She had a really good time playing ball in the sea.

We were having fun on the beach when a police car came dashing along the promenade, siren going and lights flashing.

Next more Police….

Five more police cars, an NHS car and the Lifeguard vehicle. A bit later we discovered that someone had called the police as a woman had been seen in the sea, possibly drowning. We didn’t see anything. Too much excitement in Minnis Bay.

We had a bit of a clearing out day as the shed was full and it’s a big shed.

Thought for the Day – “Never get tired of doing little things for others. Sometimes those little things occupy the biggest part of their hearts.”

I went shopping on my own as Mal tends to chat to everyone. I like to hurry round the shops.  I found a lightweight suitcase and then decided I would let Mal see it as it is to replace his broken one and we could order it online. When I arrived home they didn’t have it online and so we ended up having lunch and going back to Westwood. Well of course then it started he was chatting to all the sales assistants. I have told him next time I will drop him off in the morning and collect him in the evening!! For anyone who knows him, you’ll all know what a joker he is and the sales assistants loved him and asked if I could leave him in the shop. I was soooo tempted!

We did buy the case and managed 25% off. We also bought some large plastic crates to store things in, in the loft. Winter coming and we will have to do a big sort out. We seem to move things from one house to another without ever sorting things out and that is without a house full of “stuff” in Cyprus.

Thought for the Day – “Life will test you but remember this, when you walk up a mountain your legs get stronger.”

We went to Wingham garden centre so that Mal could get some seeds for his allotment, They sell them by weight there and they are all local seeds. Then on to Gibsons for some fresh vegetables and other things, They have a lot of interesting Christmas goodies in now.

It is Ollie’s 9th Birthday today and they all went to the laser park. Later we went over for birthday tea and fireworks.

After birthday tea we went outside for fireworks.

Back indoors and Rhys put Chas and Dave on.  The four of us are going to see them in December so it was a chance for Grandad to do his Grandad dance to amuse the kids and a practise for going to see them!

The fog had gone so a longer walk with Ellie.

Mal had to go to the opticians. While he was in there I left my car with the Polish people to give it a good clean as it was filthy inside and out. A few more Christmas decorations bought and  little more Christmas shopping online when we arrived home. It seems to start in the shops earlier and earlier but with so many people to buy for, I have to start early.
