Year: 2020

We took Ellie to the vets to get her rabies booster on her pet passport. Who knows what will happen next January with Brexit but for now she is covered. That was a different experience at the vets. You go to the reception window and tell them you have arrived. You then tie your dog up at the ‘Dog Tying Station’ and go back to your car. The vet then comes out with another lead and takes the dog in for whatever treatment. You go back and pay at the window.

Obviously Ellie wasn’t too impressed at being tied up and then taken into her least favourite place by  Sue, a vet she hasn’t seen before.

It rained in the afternoon. Good for the garden and allotment! Mal went weeding in between showers.

As Mal says who needs teachers? Ollie and Oscar are both doing very well with home schooling!

Thought for the Day – “Sometimes not saying anything is the best answer. You see, silence can never be misquoted.”

I am wondering where the first half of this year has disappeared!

This morning we have been told that our three day break at Powdermills Hotel is off for the beginning of August as they are delaying opening. We have moved it again, this time to September! One day we will get there!

After walking Ellie, I did a bit of tidying in the garden. My star jasmine is blossoming well this year, it didn’t do very well last year. It will never compete with the Pakistani Nights I had in the garden in Cyprus. The perfume from that in the evening was unbelievable. I know Mal calls my passion flower a weed but proof that the insects love it!

Mal was very pleased that Hammers beat Chelsea in the evening!

Thought for the Day – “The past is your lesson. The present is your gift. The future is your motivation.”

I went to buy some more peas for the allotment and also to the post office to return some Pavers shoes I had ordered. It is getting really complicated that if you want shoes you can’t try them on in the shops! Apart from that, the Pavers shop in Canterbury closed down anyway. Looks as though everything is going online! The shoes I ordered were too big but luckily I did the 99p extra for return.

It was rainy most of the day but Mal wanted to get the peas planted so he went to the allotment in the afternoon.

In the evening we watched Remarkable Places to Eat. It was filmed in Scotland. I was quite horrified that 95% of their lobster is exported!

Minnis Bay with Ellie and there were very few people there.

Allotment in the afternoon, loads more fruit and the first potatoes and more peas. Mal dug over another bed ready for more peas.

Three courgettes and that is on only one of my many courgette plants!

Thought for the Day – “Be thankful for today, because in one moment, your entire life could change.”

We walked Ellie and then went to Lou and Rhys’s for a lovely roast lunch and later our tea, The time always goes so quickly.

Allotment in the morning, just as well as it rained in the afternoon. The last lot of runner beans have now gone in.

The last of the broad beans but plenty of fruit, courgettes and peas.

In the evening we watched a film, The Notebook.

Thought for the Day – “Life is not a competition. Find the stuff that makes your soul sing and be your own uniquely beautiful self.”

We awoke to the rain and thunder, so had to wait until it stopped before we could take Ellie out but when we did it was really humid.

Mal went to the allotment on his own in the afternoon, he had some things to plant and I didn’t have to water! Ellie and I stayed in the garden.

It was hot and so we had the air con on indoors.
