Green Ridge Today 🙂

 I was a very good boy last night when Nix went to her meeting. Jo came to look after me so I didn’t mind Nix going. Nix said she enjoyed it and it was another lovely church and it had a very smart screen that came down so you could watch videos. There better be another commandment I think, thou shall not covet thy neighbours’ screen 🤭 



So platelet update…Bron called to say that even though my platelets had only gone up by 13 she wasn’t worried. Can someone please tell Nix that 🙄 They had a long discussion about the platelets clumping and how annoying it was even though that’s actually their job. Nix talked to Bron about the possibility of getting a result where they weren’t clumping so we had more of an idea of what was going on. It costs £100 every time I have it done and Nix thinks it’s a bit of a cheek when the result isn’t reliable. Next time will my sixth test and Nix would like it to be without any clumps. Bron is amazing and is going to look into using sodium citrate which is a different kind of anticoagulant to mix the blood with to see if we can get a reliable result next time. I think Nix is happy now, I go for my test on Tuesday 12th July. 



Nix had a new screen put on her iPad but it wasn’t put on properly. There was light showing through and so the man had to come back this morning and do it again. He asked Nix if she had a heavy book to weigh it down while the glue set so guess what was the heaviest book in the house…the first book Kathleen made of my blog 🙂 Nix is using the iPad to type my blog as we speak and she says it’s so much better...I think she’s happy, she loves her iPad. 



After the iPad man went we drove over to the Green Ridge which is in Hove and we went to look at the windmill, Nix says someone lives there. The sky was very cloudy so we thought it would be cool but in fact it was very hot. We never got as far as the café, it was a bit too far to walk. There are some nice cool woods there but they’re in the opposite direction to the café so we ended up coming home. Since we got back I’ve been asleep the whole time 🙂 Nix thought she’d water the olive trees and left the hose running very slowly and got distracted. As far as I know the water is halfway down the street by now, tut tut we’re meant to be conserving water 🫢

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 hos...

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 ...

Apparently I’m Always in the Way

Image
So Nix doesn’t understand why I am always behind her, she said it’s starting to annoy her apart from being very dangerous. She says if she falls over me and breaks her hip who’s going to look after me. Have you seen her hips, it’d take a sledgehammer to break one of those. Anyway she keeps saying there’s only one way out of the bungalow so I don’t need to follow her around everywhere. That’s not strictly true because there are doors at the back and a door at the side. She could escape without me through any of those...I must be vigilant at all times. So now she has settled down to finish getting my blog into print and it really is painful to watch. She says it takes twelve taps on the iPad to add one photograph on one day of the blog. She also says if there are thirty days in the month that will take her 360 taps. She’s got six months left to do... I shouldn’t hold your breath for this blog if I was you.  There will of course be a quicker way to do it which she will discover next y...
