Year: 2022

I dropped Mal off and then went to Sainsbury to fill the car up with fuel before it goes up another 5p as Tesco are now charging! From there I took Ellie to Minnis Bay. She loves it down there and we haven’t been for a long while. Today she enjoyed playing in the water with a chocolate lab.

It wasn’t as warm as the forecasters said it would be, a cold wind. I think Ellie overdid it a bit and slept for the next few hours.

In the evening I went to a meeting of Sobs (Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide). It was a good meeting.

Mal caught the train to the College and I drove to Dover for my appointment at Maxillofacial. I saw Anna and she did a lot more prodding and measuring and X rays.  She gave me three options, have two teeth out and give up basically, continue with more of what I have had as it has made improvement or surgery. I asked her recommendation and she said the second, so in April I start for more! I said to Anna, “I love coming here” and the nurse said “Really?” Anna and I both laughed, she is Polish but understood my sarcasm!

It was so nice in the afternoon, the sun was out and the banging still going on next door, so Ellie and I went for a sea front walk in Broadstairs until Mal finished work.

Thought for the Day – “Do the right thing, even when no one is looking. It’s called integrity.”

Ellie and I had a very cold walk in the park. We chatted to a lady who has a blind dog. She sniffed Ellie out and came running up to her. She is a really lovely dog who went blind a year ago but is very happy running around and using her sense of smell, which is obviously excellent.

The Round table are collecting clothes etc etc for the Ukraine and they will be sending them from Manston Airport. Considering how cold I was, the Ukrainians must be far colder, so I came home and put together a bag full of warm clothes and took them to the collection shop.

Next, Ellie and I went to the vets so that she could have her booster. I saw Emma vet today and she fell in love with Ellie and made such a fuss of her, so much so Ellie didn’t even notice the needle going in. This vet practice is far better than our last one, I am so glad I changed. I don’t have to drag Ellie in any more.

Spurs had a very good win in the evening, good to watch a positive game.

We had a bit of a lie in, with tea in bed. We walked Ellie over the field and then went to De Bradlei Wharf to have another look.

In the afternoon we went to the allotment. It was cold and windy! We put up a green house which means we can move things from windowsills in the house. I picked the first of this year’s rhubarb. Mal started digging some trenches.

In the evening we watched Countryfile and they told us all about Potter wasps. We had so many in Cyprus, such amusing creatures. They often dolloped us with clay if we got in their way.

Shopping in the morning, it seemed things I was specifically looking for I couldn’t find and couldn’t find any assistants either, this is the way all shopping is going. Plus petrol has gone up again and even the bread I buy has gone up 10p a loaf. So many increases. No wonder Amazon are doing so well, easier than trailing around the shops and then you can’t find what you want. I returned some trousers for Mal to M&S, that’s paperless too!

Hammers lost their game in the afternoon.

Thought for the Day – “Seek respect not attention, it lasts longer.”

Ellie and I went to Louisa Bay for a change, such lovely beaches around here. No sun but at least it wasn’t cold.

In the afternoon Ellie and I went for our “Meet and Greet” at Liberty Pet Services, Stacy will be looking after Ellie when we are away for River’s wedding. We sat in her kitchen and Ellie just lay down and went to sleep. She said that she can’t see there will be any problem as Ellie is so laid back!

Today is the twins birthday. Scarlet and Jack are 13! So many years we have missed out on when we were so very close to them. It breaks my heart and I know Torin would have hated this situation.

Such a lovely walk through the park, the sun was out and the birds were singing. Four people offered Ellie treats and I had to drag her away and say “no thank you”. She wasn’t happy.

More work (noise!) on the “conservatory” next door, seems more like a ground floor extension, well no one bothers with planning permission anymore.
