Strange Beeps In The House Today…

Image
 So I suppose I did wake Nix up in the middle of the night, well it was actually early in the morning…4.30am! I thought she might want to accompany me into the garden so we could look for the comet…she didn’t! Unfortunately she read her emails and there was one which meant she then had to be somewhere by 7:30am. She made me come inside and I went to sleep and she had to set her alarm for 7 o’clock so we could jump in the car and head out. So instead of having my normal walk up the boardwalk, I had a walk along the beach down by church. It’s not quite as nice because there’s no boardwalk down that end, but there is a bit of grass that I got to walk on so I didn’t mind too much.  When we got back Nix put the dishwasher on. When she went to unload it, everything was cold and not washed. There was a major panic over not having a dishwasher but she put it on again and it was all fine so we don’t know what happened there, she probably pressed the wrong button. There were strange ‘beeps’ that

We Walked Everywhere Today…

Image
  Guess what, I slept right through the night last night. Nix woke up at 7 am this morning and thought I was dead but I’m pleased to tell you I’m not. We had an early walk down the boardwalk and then we had a nice restful morning. Late morning, I took Nix for a walk into town, as I felt like a wander around the churchyard. Edith and Robert our neighbours were having a coffee so we joined them for a while. It was very nice to also be served by Emma one of our other neighbours and it was a nice break to the morning.  I had a sleep on the front drive when we got back while Nix did some gardening. She didn’t do as much as she wanted because she said her back always starts hurting. She wanted to replant one of her fuchsias but it took her forever to dig it up. I think we should have asked the intruder to help, he’d have had it up in seconds 🫣 This afternoon because Nix had decided we would avoid the car for the day, we walked westwards down the boardwalk and stopped for a while by the bea

Tea At Sally’s And Then Brooklands Park 🙂

Image
  We had a very nice morning, after communion we went back with Sally for a cup of tea and I got a digestive biscuit. Sally makes her tea in a pot which I think is very nice. We came home afterwards and Nix was surprised to hear the doorbell ring. She had completely forgotten that the Sainsbury’s van was due with my tins of tuna and a couple of things for Nix of course🙂 After a little nap we headed over to Brooklands Park. We thought this the best place to go as we have had quite a lot of rain. Everywhere would have been very muddy and we have a new rug so Nix said she couldn’t face cleaning up after us. There are lots of paths at Brooklands so we didn’t get muddy at all. We met a dog who only had three legs. He was a bit wobbly like me but I’m glad I’ve still got all four of my legs. There is a very stinky muddy pond at Brooklands and I really wanted to go in it but Nix said a definite no!  Later on this evening Nix is meeting with the sound guy to get some more training and to see h

Just A Trip Into Town Today With Jackie 🙂

Image
  I tried to get Nix to open the doors to the garden last night but I was a bit early. We’d only been back from our walk for a couple of hours and Nix put her foot down. I tried again about 5am and this time it worked. I did a massive wee just to make her feel guilty…I think it worked. Anyway once I’d had my wee and gone back to sleep I didn’t wake up again until 8am. Nix had got up and got dressed and had her breakfast so she was ready to go as soon as I woke up. We headed up the boardwalk and I had lots of energy so I took Nix almost all the way to the fort…I was feeling pretty good.  Nix looked again at the photo she took when I brought that stuff up from my throat. She realised that she had forgotten that whenever I get the chance I like to eat soil and she’s realised that what she can see in the photo is probably the soil I managed to get to. She’s decided not to bother Bron unless it happens again but the weird thing is that I haven’t made that noise with my throat since I left t

Nix Put Her Glasses In Her Back Pocket And Then Sat On Them 🫢

Image
I woke Nix up twice last night. The first time I woke her up she said as we’d only been in bed two hours she wasn’t going to let me out in the garden. I did go back to sleep in the end but then a few hours later, I woke her up again and she had to let me out. I did a massive wee at the bottom of the garden just to prove a point and then she made me come in. She said there was only so long she was going to walk around the garden in her dressing gown waiting for me.  We had an early walk on the beach this morning before church and then we dropped off a copy of my list of low phosphorus foods to a couple who have a dog that’s just been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. I hope it helps him, he’s much older than I was when I was diagnosed.  I was a bit restless in church today. I was asleep but Liz knocked her hymn book on the floor and it woke me up. I know I can’t really hear noises but I can feel vibrations. I did go back to sleep again, I was by a nice warm radiator. I think the c

Visit To Trish’s

Image
 Well considering we were going to have a quiet day today we’ve actually been quite busy. This morning after our walk we settled in for a relaxing time. I went to bed and Nix lay out on the sofa, I’d woken her up in the night again so I think she was quite tired. She was just chatting with a friend on the phone when I did one of my throat noises but it was really loud this time. She came rushing in to where I was and unfortunately this time I had made a bit of a mess on the floor. Nix thinks there might be some blood in it but don’t worry, I’ve been really fine since than and as long as I’m okay tomorrow she thinks we can wait to speak with Bron on Monday. I don’t think it was blood, I think it was some of the food I’d had. I slept for about an hour but then I wanted to go out again. Nix thought it would be a good idea just to walk over the bridge into town to see how I was. I was fine and I think she relaxed a bit.  When we got back home I went straight to sleep and Nix did some tidyi

Mill Hill And Coffee With Rita

Image
 So it was quite weird not going to our Friday morning session but having said that I did wake Nix up at 4am so I could go out and star gaze. Do you know how I wake her up, I sort of dance and my claws on the hard floors make a tapping noise…works every time. I don’t go to the loo while I’m out there so Nix was surprised when we both slept until 8am…apparently I have the constitution of an ox whatever that means 🤔 We had our first walk down the beach but just a short one because we then headed over the bridge to meet Rita for coffee. We went to a new café which was very nice and Nix had something with apples on it…personally I did miss the Friday morning croissant. There was a very nice lady sitting next to us and I got a lot of cuddles from her, she was very nice, I liked her.  We set out for our early afternoon walk and Nix was going to go to Buckingham Park again but as it was such a sunny day without too much wind she decided we should go to Mill Hill. I really like it there becau
