I still had the pain in my mouth and it was still swollen so I called the dentist as soon as they opened. The nice receptionist fit me in mid morning. I went to see Avraj. I haven’t seen him before but will certainly stick with him as he was really nice, explained everything to me once he had X – rayed my mouth. Looks as though I will be losing a back tooth under a bridge, investigation on 10th June, meanwhile antibiotics!

It was nice to come home to a delivery of a beautiful bouquet of flowers sent by Paula.

Mal has now officially joined the allotment committee. He has decided he wanted to so he can ensure our rents don’t double again, as they have this year. This is because they have put a lock on the gate but anyone can find the code  plus people leave the gate open anyway. I think they may regret letting him join!

Strange weather again. We walked Ellie wearing our coats, saying how hot it was. Half way home, torrential rain!

Lou and Rhys asked us over for a pre birthday Sunday roast and very nice it was too. Ollie made a lovely strawberry birthday cake too. A lovely afternoon. Spurs even won their game!

We came back home and booked our hotel for River’s wedding next year. We just need someone to look after Ellie when we are gone but it is in a years time. We can sort something by then.

I still had tooth ache and continued taking pain killers!

I started the walk with Mal and Ellie and then had an awful pain down one side of my mouth/gums. I came back and took pain killers.

It seemed to rain on and off most of the day. We did the ITV7 and were out first race!

More membrane put down in the allotment in between showers.

We watched a good FA cup final. This was followed by a very boring Hammers game!

I went into Deal to the hairdressers. Katie is such a good hairdresser and gives such a good head massage. I felt a lot better after getting my hair done, it has been a long time!

Every evening Mal takes Ellie across the road to the field while I cook the dinner. It is like a doggy play park over there most evenings. They all love it.

We had a walk in the drizzle. Along the river first.

We then walked into town where there is a Thursday market. Age concern charity shop had a big box of teddies outside so we bought another for Ellie. She does love playing with them.

I planted some sunflowers in the garden the previous day. I had them in pots to begin with and they were about 7 inches tall. When I looked today, two had been totally munched up by snails so I am now on snail patrol.

In the afternoon I found 15 snails. I’ll try again another day. I also found a frog. I would really prefer him at the allotment where I have two ponds!

A bad result for Man U in the evening.

We went to the bluebell woods, I love them. It looked as though some of the trees have been coppiced.

What a good idea in Elgar’s field. A pity we didn’t have table tennis bats with us!

I potted on a couple of my tomatoes and courgettes, the ones I keep at home. I also re – potted a couple of acers that were very tiny when I bought them.

Mal’s brother Steve and his wife Shirley are staying locally visiting friends and family, they now live in Tewkesbury. We arranged to meet them for lunch and also Mal’s sister Marion came too. We had our lunch and spent a lovely afternoon in George VI park. We took Ellie as well and a man at the next table saw how she was looking longingly at his ice cream so he gave her half of it! Thoroughly spoilt!

A nice lunch in the sunshine and then we had a walk around the park. It must be more than two years since we have seen Shirley and Steve. Too long!
