A Trip to a Pillbox...

 We’re waiting for visitors at the moment and Nix is a bit over excited to be welcoming friends into our home. I’m excited too, so excited I’m afraid I might have dug up a bit of soil by the fence again. Nix isn’t talking to me at the moment, I can’t think why as it’s only the same old plant and it can’t like it there, it’s too shady!



We didn’t exactly have breakfast this morning but we did have coffee at a new caravan cafe by the airport...they do lemon drizzle cake but we didn’t have time to stop because we had to get ready. Getting ready means that Nix has to actually do some cleaning and tidying. She hasn’t really done much during lockdown as there’s been no one to see the mess...except moi 😱



We visited an old world war 2 pillbox and watched the planes and helicopters...they are quite noisy and they often fly over our house. They’re only propellor jobbies so we don’t mind too much. I’m a bit annoyed because I like to walk down by the pillboxes but now they’ve decided to make it an area of special scientific interest and I’m not allowed to go there any longer 😕 



Nix changed her food delivery from Tesco to Sainsbury’s and wasn’t used to the website.  Instead of ordering a big bag of green beans to add to my food she ordered a big bag of sprouts. She really needs to get her eyes fixed, I am not eating sprouts 😕

Everything You Wanted to Know About Fripp

Image
My name is Fripp aka The Fripster, I am a Bearded Collie and I came to live with Nix when I was two years old.  I spent the first two years of my life living in Monaco but my owners couldn’t keep me because they were working long hours. Even though Nix lives in the UK she saw me and wanted me, naturally, and so my breeder brought me to the UK when she was visiting Crufts. Nix says she had no idea what she was letting herself in for and if I hadn’t come all the way from France she’d have sent me straight back the next day. She said I was completely untrained, tried to kill the cat and had separation anxiety so bad I would knock her over rather than let her get to the front door. None of this is true of course.  Nix and I have lived in perfect harmony for the last eight years even though she might say different. I got very sick when I was seven with an autoimmune disease called IMTP but I recovered from that even though I was bald for a while. Then a year later I ended up in hospital wit

Too Much Noisy Rain

Image
 Last night it started to rain, a lot, and as you know I do not like it when it rains, it scares me. I don’t mind it when I’m out on my walk as you can see from my photos but I don’t like it when I’m inside. I just couldn’t help myself, I had to get off the bed and start digging. Nix was very understanding for once but she does try to get me back on the bed. In the end I gave up and got on the bed and was just drifting off when there was this really loud scary noise. Nix said it sounded like a very loud demented dalek whatever that is...it was very scary and made me and Nix really jump. Turned out to be something to do with her phone and the battery going...is it too much to ask that she keep a check on these things, nearly gave me a heart attack.  It hasn’t stopped raining all day so there are only photos of me wet. I didn’t stay wet for long, I blotted myself off on the sofa first and then Nix’s bed. She thought there were towels on it but I’d dug them all up. The best news today is

Big Boats and Little Dogs

Image
 There was a very big boat making a lot of noise when we got to the beach this morning. Nix thought that it was very interesting, me not so much. I suppose it shows just how boring Nix’s life really is.  We went down the river this afternoon. You know how Nix has always been scared of going over the bridge over the busy road. Well now she’s decided she doesn’t like going under the busy road either. I think the lockdown thingy has finally done it’s worst. She says it’s worse coming back because she can see it in the distance and knows she’s got to go under it eventually. I like it under there, it’s really noisy and you can hear the lorries above you racing along.  I like to think I took her mind off going under the bridge by perfecting another one of my annoying habits. I like to walk right behind her and when she looks over her right shoulder to make sure I’m still there I overtake her on the left. She thinks I’ve gone AWOL and starts panicking and calling me but I’m behind her all the
