A Trip To Lancing Today Via Brooklands Park šŸ™‚



 Remember when Nix and I got soaked by a van driver when he drove through a deep puddle of water. Well we were walking down the road yesterday and she saw the van parked on a building site. In we went and she asked the worker nearest to it if the same person always drove it. He asked Nix why she wanted to know. I thought that was a bit of a cheek but Nix thought it was quite funny. She told the man in no uncertain terms what would happen if he did it again...to anyone. They both laughed and he promised never to do it again. I didn’t think it was that funny, I was the one who got most of the water that night, I’d have liked to poop on his shoes. 



The shingle shifters aren’t working today so we thought we’d drive over to Lancing to see where they’d been dumping all the stones. We stopped off on the way at the Salvation Army charity shop to drop off all our king size bed linen. As you know Nix was getting more and more annoyed with the king size duvet so she’s changed it for a double. I’m not up on the bed any longer though what difference that makes I have no idea…she says I used to take up most of it. 




We parked at Brooklands Park and made our way across the park to the beach. We could see immediately where all the shingle has gone and I think they’re very lucky to get it because they are very close to the sea. They have a sign in front of their houses saying that bit of beach is private. There were quite a few people walking on it including us because no one knows what a ‘mean high water line’ means .šŸ¤”šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ Nix looked it up so she’d know for next time, she’s non the wiser, something to do with 19 years…šŸ¤£




‘The Mean High Water Line (MHWL) is the intersection of the plane of the MHW tidal datum with shore. The elevation of the MHWL is fixed for given time periods and does not change unless tidal datums are updated.’



So…their ‘private’ beach is completely made up of the shingle that’s come from our beach in Shoreham plus we’ve had to put up with all the trucks. I think that entitles us to the odd walk on their beach. 



When we were having our last walk round the block last night I spotted this couple on the other side of the road. I was going mad trying to get at them and Nix didn’t know why. Guess which house they turned into…the BCJ’s. I knew it was them but Nix didn’t of course because of her face blindness…they both had hats on…no chance 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...
