Another beautiful day so we made the most of it and took Ellie to Minnis Bay.

On the way back we stopped at the butchers, it’s lovely when all our meat is cut fresh.

Mal went to the allotment and I tidied up in the garden.

Thought for the Day – “Wake up with determination. Go to bed with satisfaction.”

The first time this autumn that the heat has come on in our house and it was a bit chilly as I went to put some flowers in the cemetery. By the time we walked Ellie, the sun was out.

It was a glorious day as we walked along the sea front in Broadstairs.

Ollie and Oscar are still on half term, which was really good as today was Ollie’s 14th birthday so we met up with them in Broadstairs and we all went for lunch. It was lovely to have lunch together. Our last chance before lock down.

I had to buy some birthday cards so made the mistake of going to Westwood. I have come to the conclusion that people are crazy. Queuing, pushing shoving, not keeping their distance……..I came home!

Mal collected some vegetables from the allotment. We have some really nice kale, not at all bitter.

I heard from Tariq, who is working in the US. He said it is “Covid Crazy” over there. I hope he is keeping safe.

We went out for lunch, our last escape before lock down. It was also 3 years ago Torin’s funeral, so a little treat. That has to have been the second worst day of my life.

Back home and we tried to ring to get the money back for our lodge holiday that should have taken place next week. Almost an hour on the phone but when the phone was answered, a really nice lady who is going to refund our money.

We went to Stone Bay. It was  misty but quite warm. Ellie loves it down there. It was a very high tide, only a couple of days after the full moon. A dog fish had swum on to the beach and couldn’t get back so Mal rescued it and returned it to the deep water.

We gave Ellie a bath when we were home. It’s not easy her coat is so thick.

I caught up with Autumn watch in the afternoon, followed by football. Spurs won! We are now second in the league!  Each year I have bet on them, this year I didn’t.

A Christmas present I ordered from Debenhams had arrived, so I went early to Westwood. It appears that everyone is panicking again and queuing thinking we will all be back in lockdown soon.  I collected the present, a quick pop in the supermarket before the masses descended and straight home. If we do lockdown, what we haven’t got we will go without. We always have plenty in the cupboards and freezer. I think that is from the days when the boys friends always came to our house to eat!

We watched the football in the afternoon. Then Boris’s announcement.

What more can be said? That’s our holiday gone! Thanks Boris. Lock down from 5th November, maybe someone will complete the job this 5th November!

We walked Ellie, no rain!

Now if you want to take rubbish to the dump, you must book. We booked for 11.30 and were told we had until 12.45 to attend. We drove there around midday. The guy came to the car and asked if we had booked….yes…..he had us on his list so why did he have to ask? He then told us to drive through if we could find room….it was totally empty. I seriously am wondering why they are making you book when there wasn’t another soul around! I have a feeling things are just being made difficult. At least we dumped the rubbish.

Mal went to the allotment in the afternoon and I cleaned the house.
