I took Ellie out early , we were out by the river before 6am. It really is lovely that time of the morning. Mal was still in bed when we arrived back home! But when he did get up he scrubbed the back wall and later started painting it. We only have a small garden so want to try and open it up. We have had the huge gardens and believe me it is HUGE work, so this along with all the countryside around us and the allotment is ample for us. We had a huge garden at our last place and always sat on the terrace just outside the french doors! Ellie is happy, we have what we call the dog park just opposite and she meets as many dogs as she wants over there every evening and has a run around with them.

So, he painted and I went out to lunch with the Hatters. We went to the Racing Greyhound in Ramsgate , the service was dreadful and so I suggested we stop going there and find alternative places.  Sadly Jean didn’t come. She is 80+ and has terminal cancer but she has been an absolute rock to me since I lost Torin.

Her cancer has got far worse and she was unable to walk. It is the first Hatters meeting she has ever missed. Funnily enough last meeting she said how much she loved yellow roses. Two days ago I saw a lovely yellow rose plant and decided to buy it for her and take it along today, but she wasn’t there. I had just thought it would be much nicer for her to have roses now than when the inevitable happens. I came home in tears and it was a quiet meeting.

We watched the England game in the evening. So disappointing but they did well to get as far as they did. I do hate the criticism they are getting already.

Thought for the Day – “If you haven’t grown up by age 60, you don’t have to.”
