Another beautiful sunny day. I took Ellie to the park as I think she over did it on the beach yesterday, so we had a slow walk around the park.

We had a Red Hatters meeting at lunchtime. We went to the restaurant in Ramsgate Garden Centre but it was so busy. We have two new members and lots of enquiries about our group.

I can’t say I really enjoyed my lunch as my mouth pain has started again but Ann did warn me, so back on the pain killers!

Thought for the Day – “Be careful what you tolerate, you are teaching people how to treat you.”

Mal went to college and I took Ellie to Stone Bay. It was dull and a little cold. As always, Ellie loved it!

I think Ellie went a bit too mad in and out of the sea, playing with the other dogs and her ball. She slept for most of the rest of the day.

There was a frost. I dropped Mal at the college and  Ellie and I went to the park. The sky was amazing! It didn’t seem quite so cold in Ramsgate.

We watched the Man U game in the evening.

Sunday 9th January 2022

The previous day we decided that we would book to go out for Sunday lunch. Thai Village has just moved from Ramsgate to Westwood Cross as their Ramsgate premises were too small. We phoned and booked. They don’t have their license yet but you can take your own alcohol. In the morning there was a message on the answerphone saying they had “technical issues” and so we couldn’t go for lunch.

Mal went to the allotment while I tried to find somewhere else to have our lunch as we wanted to try somewhere different. Of course Sunday lunchtimes are busy so it would also be a question of whether we could get booked at late notice. The restaurant I found had spaces if we went early rather than late afternoon, which we preferred anyway!

It was the The Plough Inn in Ripple, which is on the way to Deal. It’s a lovely village pub, just like they used to be. The girl who served us, her parents own it. Well, we couldn’t believe the size of the roast and the quality of everything we had. I couldn’t eat it all, Mal helped out and that was even with bringing some of the meat back for Ellie! Two courses for £15.50 which we thought was really good value. We will certainly be going back there.

We watched the Hammers game in the afternoon. Spurs won as well.

Thought for the Day – “One day at a time is all we should be dealing with. We can’t go back to yesterday and we can’t control tomorrow so live for today.”

I went to Westwood shopping. Mal took Ellie out. I went to Halfords as my head light bulb had gone. Good service, they fitted it for me.

It rained for most of the day.

Friday 7th January 2022

Ellie and I went to Ramsgate park after dropping Mal off at the college. Another sunny morning. We walked through the park and then a longer walk along the sea front.

I watched the last episode of “Ann”, about the mother who lost her son at Hillsborough. It is heartbreaking but oh so true about all the ‘cover ups’ that the majority of people have no idea are going on. Gloria Hunniford talking about the programme actually hit the nail on the head when she said grief and loss is always difficult but nothing like the pain when it is someone you have given birth to. Of course she lost her daughter Karen. Not many people understand those words.

Another beautiful day. A frost on the ground which Ellie loves to roll in! After dropping Mal off, Ellie and I went to the park in Ramsgate.
