Saga of the Recycling Centre Continues 🙂

 


So the saga of the recycling centre continues. Nix decided to write to the CEO of West Sussex County Council and tell her exactly what had happened. Nix explained that she knew she was in the wrong but that you had to scroll right down their website before you saw the bit about having to take proof of address. She suggested also that maybe the man at the gate could have suggested that she might have a copy of a utility bill on her phone…which she did. She didn’t expect a reply from the CEO herself but she actually got one from her saying she was getting someone to deal with it. She apologised to Nix and said she was going to change the website so the bit about taking proof of your address was at the top. Nix is walking around looking smug however the sun lounger is still in the boot of her car 🤣



We had a lovely morning for walking to church but it was a bit chilly. We met Edith our neighbour on the way so we were able to walk over together which was very nice. Nix saved me a bit of croissant and said she wished I was as keen on my dinners. She also said she might have to stop giving me treats until I had eaten my dinner 🤔 We were quite early so Nix took some photos of the church ceiling for reasons best known to herself 🙂



This afternoon there is a bit of a storm due so we set out early for the recreation ground and a walk in the little woods. When I’m dawdling Nix like to hide behind a tree and waits for me to panic when I can’t see her…I have no interest in playing this game 🙄



Nix took a couple of videos of me playing with a stupid Labrador. He was very nice actually but a bit too boisterous for moi.  He also looked like he might bowl Nix over so I tried to keep him calm. Trying to mount him at the beginning probably wasn’t the best idea but I did manage to get Nix away while she was still on two feet 🤣



Shall I let you into a little secret. You know that big bag of smelly old tripe that Nix bought that is in the freezer. She was toying with the idea of taking the sun lounger back to the recycling centre today and dumping the tripe in with it. I’m glad to say that she had second thoughts about that and has decided to put it in our own bin frozen just before the bin men come.

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
