Month: September 2025

A lovely day and so we walked Ellie in George VI park in Ramsgate. Half way round we bumped into Ali, her husband and their dog, doing the same as us, making the most of the good weather.

Later Mal went to a “cousins meet up”. They were planning a big family meet up for the future and then decided to have it when we will be away!!  Still, at least he saw his brother who was staying locally for a week.

England football in the evening, a much better result.

A day at work, a busy day! Pam met me at lunchtime, it was nice to see her and have a catchup.

I received a very nasty message via whatsapp  from someone pretending to be someone else. It was too obvious by the spelling and punctuation etc. How very sad this person could be so nasty. A good thing I believe in Karma.

In the evening we watched the final of the US Open and yes, Alcaraz took the title.

We walked along the Rope Walk in the sun with Ellie. The ducklings have really grown.

Mal went to the Post Office to return another Amazon item! They are real jobsworths in there “where is your label?”……”erm YOU do it, I have just shown you the QR scan” and it goes on!

Sorting out some of my tomato plants and then really easy, we had a delivery from Sainsburys . All the bulky and heavy things. Made far more tempting that they gave me a 10 pound off voucher!

In the evening we watched the England game, they should have scored a lot more goals!

Jem and Dom bought me an olive tree for my birthday , obviously it needs a huge pot and so we went to the Garden Centre at Quex. We also had a walk around and then went for a coffee in the restaurant.

Mal went to the allotment. So many French beans, runner beans and tomatoes!

We have been watching Educating Yorkshire…it amuses Mal and takes him back to his teaching days!

We checked the weather forecast and believed them and so started our walk at 7.45. We have to remember that Ellie is much slower in her recuperation from the op. But is was an even longer walk for her, we depend on her to tell us.

We went along the Rope Walk to the cricket pitch. Five minutes after we arrived home the heavens opened!

A bit too wet to do much!

We chatted to one of our neighbours when we walked Ellie. She works at Manston at the processing centre for the boat people. Contrary to what the news says, there have been no boats since Bank Holiday! People seriously shouldn’t believe everything they read or hear on the news.

A quick trip to Tesco and then a lot of rain.
