Poor Ellie had a very restless night with a lot of lip smacking, which meant I didn’t get much sleep either, stroking her trying to get her back to sleep. her pain killers are taken with her breakfast and then just a short walk over the field. I then have to thoroughly clean her paws, so she doesn’t lick them and start an infection in her mouth!

I discovered that Sainsburys have 50 p delivery slots available, so what better thing to do than put in an order for the heavy difficult to carry things. A four hour slot for tomorrow! I guess everyone else has booked the week before Christmas and they have spare slots all this weekend!

I watched Luton Town in the afternoon, it was 1 -1 and then something awful happened, Tom Lockyer, the Luton town captain collapsed on the pitch. Poor man, he collapsed at the Championship play off as well but after an operation he was declared fit. I do hope he is OK. Play was suspended and then after about 10 minutes they abandoned the match.

Later I watched Soul Survivor and Peg leg was tactically voted out. He really should have won. Disappointing after how many hours I’ve watched it?!

I then decided if Ellie didn’t win Strictly then I wouldn’t be watching it again but thankfully she did!
