I dropped Mal off at college and then Ellie and I went to the park, in the sun again.

What beautiful days we have been having.

In the evening we packed ready for our weekend away in the Isle of Wight.

Thought for the Day – “Don’t tell secrets in the garden. The potatoes have eyes, the corn has ears and beanstalk.”

What a different day…fog! Impossible to see France today.  But as we walked, it made me aware that Broadstairs have plenty “chatting benches” already Ricky (Gervais).

Thought for the Day – “The irony of grief is that the person you need to talk to about how you feel is the person who is no longer here.”

A crisp morning but as soon as I dropped Mal off the sun came out. It’s lovely but difficult to drive into it! So off to the park on our way home for Ellie and I.

We walked Ellie over the fields, very muddy after last night’s rain.

In the afternoon, the Hammers game and they lost to Leeds. Mal cooked Sunday lunch, he says he enjoys doing it. Lamb shanks, really nice!

I went into Deal, they have a good market there on Saturday mornings. I bought a nice scarf, jumper and some fish. I was tempted by the game but decided on the fish.

Mal went to the allotment to remove the huge cage that had been left in his shed. Lots of vegetables to bring home. The Nero kale is delicious and the parsnips are huge!

Having listened to Brian Cox talking about this film, in the evening we watched “Don’t look up.” Interesting, those in power…………………………………………!!

Thought for the Day – “The big difference between money and time: You always know how much money you have but you never know how much time you have. Enjoy every moment of your life!”

Friday 14th January 2022

Another frosty morning, followed by full sun as soon as I dropped Mal off at College. Ellie and I went to the park.

It seems as though there are two burst water pipes, in different locations on the way to Broadstairs College. Traffic controls, which meant my 20 minute journey to collect Mal in the afternoon turned into 1 hour 10 minutes! Total chaos at Westwood, so we made a diversion through Ramsgate on the way home. Southern Water have a lot to answer for. Not only polluting the sea frequently but also so many burst pipes. Mal is battling with them at the moment  not to pay the full amount of our water bill. Many are doing this. Our contract with them is for them to dispose of our waste water “responsibly”. They are not.

Thursday 13th January 2022

Still on the pain killers, hoping my mouth is going to calm down! Ellie and I went for a walk along the coastal walk at Broadstairs. After a frosty start, the sun was beautiful.

Thought for the Day – “Learn to sit back and observe. Not everything needs a reaction.”
