I Got an Elephant for Christmas 😇



 Nix and I are still taking it a little easy. I of course feel much much better but Nix still has her cough and it does tend to wake her up in the middle of the night which in turn wakes me up and it’s very scary in the dark. My demands for being immediately let out in the garden are falling on deaf ears mainly due to the numerous holes that have suddenly appeared in the flower beds. Instead I have to take myself as far away from her as possible which isn’t very easy in a small bungalow. 



I know Nix doesn’t like me sleeping a long way away from her so today she has actually been to the pharmacy and bought some medicine for her cough. This in itself was a drama of course because she thought it was going to taste like the Liquifruta her mother used to give her when she was a child. Apparently it was the most disgusting medicine that anyone could ever taste and Nix still has nightmares about it. Anyway she was genuinely surprised when she took her first dose of the stuff she got today because she said it actually tasted quite nice. I’m not sure she could really tell though whilst holding her nose 🙄


Yesterday we had visitors, Jackie and Peter and Catherine from next door and of course Indie their poodle. Unfortunately Barney couldn’t come because he is sick in hospital but hopefully he will be home today.  A very jolly time was had by all the humans but Indie and I just went to sleep having posed for the photos. 




Nix and I have just had a meander down the beach and we found this massive piece of wood. Nix thinks it must have come from a boat and been washed ashore. I had my photo taken on it. 





While Nix went into town to buy the medicine I’m afraid my willpower went out of the window. I knew there was a parcel for me from Sarah and I couldn’t really see the point in waiting until Christmas day so I ripped it open and guess what it was…an elephant and I love it 👏👏👏  Nix says she can hear Maltesters rattling in her parcel, what’s the betting she loses her will power this evening. 😇

It’s My Birthday Tomorrow 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

 We’ve not done a lot today. Nix has been dozing off at various times and to be honest, I’ve been asleep too. It’s quite nice actually not having anything to do. Nix has been working on the church log book so there was lots of tutting, mainly because she couldn’t remember where she’d put anything. Just in case you were wondering, the log book is an account of everything that is added to the church or taken away or repaired. Eventually Nix will fill in the actual document with special ink that doesn’t fade so it will be there for future generations to read.  We did go to the Rec this afternoon as I did need a little walk but we didn’t stay too long, it was very cold. It was also very muddy but not to worry, most of it will fall off tomorrow in time for my birthday 🙂 Speaking of my birthday, I have received quite a lot of presents and cards which is very exciting. At the moment we are waiting for my birthday cake to be delivered, it’s a vanilla sponge with raspberry cream. I sh...

RIP Fripp 5.1.2010 - 8.2.25 😪

  RIP Fripp 5.1.2010 - 8.2.25 My darling Fripp has crossed the bridge 😪 He passed very peacefully this afternoon in a lovely special room with a bed for him and a sofa for me. I am okay, I think, and I know time will heal.  A little bit about my gorgeous boy…he was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease when he was 7. He did really well on his home cooked diet but when he was eight he developed autoimmune thrombocytopenia due to some meds he was given…not by Bron. He went on a high dose of steroids, lost a lot of his coat with his gorgeous tail being almost bald. He survived the disease and went on to become strong but always with the kidney disease in the background.  Some months later he got sick again and went into kidney failure. He spent a week at North Downs Referrals where they discovered his ureter was blocked with a stone and so he received a subcutaneous ureteral bypass from his kidney to his bladder. He was one of the first dogs to get it and I’m told he has be...
