Year: 2022

We haven’t been to King George park for a long while, so decided to take Ellie there. We stopped on the way to get a couple of get well cards and some chocs for Jackie.  We had a coffee in the park. It is looking very autumny even though it was very warm.

As we were leaving I fell over where there was a large hole in the path which I hadn’t noticed and went flat. It hurt! A man stooped and asked if I was OK. Don’t you feel silly?! I scraped my knee and hands and I think I will ache tomorrow where I twisted as I fell. Ah well, accidents happen.

We stopped on the way home to drop off the cards and chocs at Jackie’s house. Chris said she will be in hospital at least until Monday and they seem to have really dosed her up with “high intensity” drugs.

A better second half in the Spurs game and they won!

Millie’s last day with us. She has been so good.

We had a lovely walk and let her have a good run around the cricket field. I think we ought to keep this one!!

Her owners came to collect her in the evening saying they would be more than happy to leave her again.

I can’t believe Autumn watch has finished already. It really should be on for longer.

Sad to hear that our dear Queenie (Hatters) is in hospital with a severe chest infection.

We left for our walk hoping we wouldn’t get wet  but half way round the fields it did rain and a lot. Two wet dogs to take home. We then had to chase Millie around to get her dry.

Mal went to the allotment in the afternoon. I made some things I am doing for Christmas.

It’s good to have Autumn watch back.

Our wedding anniversary, we were married 24 years ago. It certainly doesn’t seem that long!

We were so lucky that the sun shone all day and so we spent all day outside. Lunchtime we took Ellie and Millie with us and went for lunch at the George and Dragon.  It was really warm.  When we had finished the meal another family arrived with their dog and we all sat in the garden chatting. It was really lovely, especially for October!

A lovely day.

Millie was the perfect doggie overnight. She just got in her bed and went to sleep. I think we wore her out with the walk this morning.

Then it was time for my appointment with the different periodontist in Sandwich. Another hour in the chair while she poked and prodded and measured, not pleasant. It seems they can’t get a replacement for Anna in Dover which is why I was referred to this one in Sandwich.

She has made another hours appointment for me in December (the earliest she has). I shall look forward to that…..not!

Both of the dogs love raw carrot. Carrot time….

I went into Cancer Research for my volunteer day. They had so many donations on Saturday, we had to refuse some today.  I really enjoy my days there.

I came home to another visitor, Millie. She really is a little sweetie and very well behaved apart from following you around everywhere.

Mal cooked a roast and Lou, Oscar and Josie came round. Rhys has a really bad cold and didn’t want to give it to us and Ollie was working. I made the desserts.

It was really nice to see them. It seems ages since they have seen us, so much so they noticed how Ellie had slimmed down!
