The Summerhouse is Sanded and Ready for Nix to Paint…



 This morning the summerhouse got sanded down in preparation for Nix to paint it. Thereby lies another drama because she’s now decided she doesn’t like this colour either. We are closer to what she actually wants and she feels that just one more look at the colour chart and she’ll have it off perfectly. She thinks this one is a bit too powder blue and she wants it to look more seasidy so a slight touch of grey. She said her arm ached after just paining the bit in the photo so I can see this taking a long time 🙄




We wanted to tell you about Nathan who came to sand the summerhouse. We haven’t met him before but Nix thought he was a very charming young man. He told Nix that he and his girlfriend have lost three babies and they were really desperate to have a child of their own. All of the babies had names because they were not too far off being born and so they had to have three funerals too. Nix said she wanted to cry but he was such an upbeat young man she tried to stay strong. Nix thought about it and decided she’d tell him that she was going to pray for him and his girlfriend Sophie to have a baby. He was really pleased and said, “Yes please…” We’re hoping that those of you that do pray will pray for them also, thank you.



I was very good while the summerhouse was being sanded. Well when I say very good I suppose what I mean by that is I only dug one hole when Nix wasn’t looking. It’s not my fault if she’s cut back all the big plants so there was easy access to the back of the summerhouse…it was just too easy 🙂



After Nathan had finished we went to Buckingham Park and had a lovely leisurely walk because it was quite warm. The tap is still broken so we headed down to the café and I had a drink there before trying to help myself to someone’s breakfast.  Nix didn’t have anything, said she was too embarrassed and just wanted to get away 🤣




This afternoon we have been for tea with Jackie next door. I like it there because there are lots of toys to play with and the odd pine cone which apparently I’m not meant to have. The main subject of the afternoon for some reason was hairdressers, all a bit boring really so Indie and I both went to sleep.

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
