A continuing long story…..our bank cancelled Mal’s card along with a lot of other peoples because something fraudulent had happened. Mal didn’t know it had been cancelled until he tried to use it online. It was rejected and the bank said it was fine they were sending out a new one. It didn’t arrive. It’s a joint account so i can use my card but most bills etc are set up in Mal’s name. He informed the bank , they’d send another, that didn’t arrive!! Today I went online to change our address. I could do it but it wouldn’t accept Mal because he hasn’t received the new card, either of them. Mal phoned them, went through a million security questions and then told him they couldn’t change the address even though he passed all the security. Mal begged them to issue another card and have it delivered to our local branch. No they couldn’t do that!  To be honest the guy on the phone was at a loss to know what to do.  Perhaps he could send a new card…erm you won’t change the address and we have moved!

Nothing else for it than to go into our local branch! They closed at 12 so we drove straight over there with Ellie in the car so that we could take her to the beach on the way back.

Armed with his passport, Mal managed to get the girl in the branch bank to change the address and they will issue yet another card! With a lot of things to pay out for at the moment, this really hasn’t been the ideal time for any of this to happen.

Ellie does love her trips to the sea. We are no longer allowed on the first part of the beach (1st May-30th September) but dogs are still allowed after the first three groynes.

It was really busy at Minnis including the fire brigade with their flashing blue lights. Perhaps someone set fire to the chip pan in the restaurant!

Back home and there was an afternoon wedding across the road. It is so picturesque when they hold the service on the lawns and the happy couple are on the island. This is how some of the guests arrive…

 

In the evening Mal’s son Dom had his stag night in Margate so I dropped him off for their micro pub tour. He isn’t getting married until mid June, I guess he wanted to do it early!
