Month: August 2018

Not a good day, just as Dr Liz said I didn’t feel very good. I had a terrible headache, I guess the result of the neck and head manipulations. I had back ache as well. I know this often happens after the first consultation. I went shopping but was so tired by the time I arrived home.  I had a soak in the bath and an early night!

Thought for the Day – “If we could spread love as quickly as we spread hate and negativity, what an amazing world we would live in.”

 

I had an appointment to go to a chiropractor in Whitstable. Lou and Rhys gave me a gift voucher for my birthday as she comes highly recommended. Dr Liz at Evolution Health.  My hour appointment turned into and hour and a half (no extra charge) and I have to say she was extremely thorough and pinpointed all my problem back and neck areas. Some bits were a little ouchy! Of course she warned me I may feel a little achey the following day.

Rhys came round later with Roddie, their dog, who has come for his holidays. The family have gone for a holiday in Menorca.

Mal ordered me a new laptop from somewhere he has used before. Very high spec laptops, and so he is spending his time transferring all my things on to the new one. Some of it I want are quite specific and of course it is never as easy as he first thinks.  It no longer has the same storage for my photos and seeing as I take so many, I will have to master that quickly. My last laptop the battery was about to completely die.

It seemed a lot cooler and so we took Ellie down the river and let her have a good run around the cricket ground. They have cut a  lot of the high grass by the side of the river and she decided she was going to get in the water. It is disgusting and full of green algae which we have all been warned to keep dogs away from. I think she is getting more and more stubborn and she totally ignored me and went in! We had to drag her out and wash her down at the tap at the side of the pavilion. There is a drinking water bowl there under the tap so we had to soak her and try and get as much off as we could. We then had to bring her straight home and into the bath!

She can be hard work at times but retrievers do love the water. Previously she has just kept with us and stayed away. Perhaps she was getting hot. At least she is well behaved in the bath and even tries to get in on her own.

In the afternoon Mal and I went to Wingham Wildlife Park.

 

Thought for the Day – “Not every person knows how to love a dog but every dog knows how to love a person.”

Mal and I were up early and took Ellie to Minnis Bay before all the tourists arrived.  She loves it down there with all the other dogs and us paddling with her!

We stayed in the rest of the day as DPD were delivering a parcel before 10pm. You guessed it……….no they didn’t!

Mal went to a Labour meeting in the evening with just a select few.

Demelza day and goodness was it hot in the shop. There were very few people in the City anyway but thankfully I managed to sell a wedding dress so that boosted the sales.

Well, they are certainly plugging Margate in the press now the sun is out. This was in today’s Metro.

We took Ellie out a little later than usual as it seemed cooler. Something wasn’t quite right as she started limping. I looked at her front legs and couldn’t find any problem but she was walking very slow so we cut the walk short. She really wasn’t happy. Maybe it was the heat finally getting to her. We just came back home and let her lie in the shade in the garden. We will have to keep an eye on her.

My laptop has started playing up so Mal is on the hunt for a new one for me. I do hate it when I have to get used to a new one and also I hate physically going to shops and listening to the sales patter when I don’t even understand half of what they are saying….a good thing Mal does. I don’t think either of us really felt like  trip to the shops anyway, so he is looking online. The problem is this weather our local roads are all busy with tourists. Instead we had a lazy day in the garden. But I just kept thinking Torin would have been down here with the twins, lovely weather like this.

Thought for the Day – “No matter how you are living your life…….No matter how different you are…………No matter how you dress……No matter how successful you are…….No matter how you look………….If you are real, unapologetically yourself…the right people will respect you. And the wrong people…..well, they are irrelevant.”

It was very hot again overnight and so I was up at 5am walking Ellie. We went for a long walk by the river as it was very cool down there. Paula  packed and then I ran her to the station for her journey back home. I don’t think she was looking forward to going back as she is a warden at some old people’s alms houses and they are always knocking on her door so she gets little peace.

After she had gone Mal and I went to Deal. More coffees in Spoons!

I think in the evening I had forgotten just what rubbish TV is on! We haven’t had it on in the week.
