The Summerhouse Roof Got Fixed at Last and I Dug Up The Garden Apparently šŸ¤”



 Funny old day today. We had to go out very early because the man was coming to fix our summerhouse roof since some tiles blew off in the storm five months ago. I’ve decided humans aren’t always that bright. When they first replaced the tiles they put the wrong colour on. They told Nix they would darken in time which we all knew wasn’t going to happen. Anyway he came back today with the new tiles and when he placed the first one on Nix told him it looked exactly the same as the ones he’d just taken off. There was some huffing and puffing and talk of it maybe being a bit dusty and then he realised he’d put it on the wrong way up. As I say… humans šŸ™„



As it seemed the roof man was going to take a long time Nix decided we should go for a walk. We couldn’t take the car because Nix had told the chap he could park in the drive and now we couldn’t get the car out. Instead we had a wander down by the houseboats. You’ve already seen some of the lovely quirky ones so I thought I’d show you a couple of the ‘doer uppers’ šŸ¤£ We went past the old toilet block too which they’re meant to be knocking down and building a smart restaurant. We know lots of people don’t really want it but it would be nice to have somewhere to stop for coffee when we go out on walks. 




When we got back the roof man was almost finished, he was very tidy and even hoovered the garden! We had a bit of a rest while Nix watched two more episodes of Hart of Dixie and then we went out again. I think Nix will need therapy when she runs out of episodes šŸ™„ We had a quick whizz round Buckingham Park, had a look at the community garden and came home and then I dug up our garden… oh no oops no I didn’t dig up our garden, I found it like that šŸ˜‡



I got on Nix’s bed yesterday evening, I did dig that up šŸ™‚

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...
