Three Cornered Copse Today 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

 Why is Nix’s life so complicated? On 6th December 2022 Ginny Tennyson in the US messaged to say that she would really like to buy me the yellow coat that I had admired. She wasn’t having much success with Amazon and didn’t want to use PayPal so it was decided that she would pay the money into Nix’s bank account. That didn’t work so well either so she decided she would send a money order instead. So Nix went ahead and ordered the yellow coat and you have seen me wear it many times. 



The money order finally arrived and got put on one side until Nix could get to the local post office. Once she got there she was told they couldn’t cash it and she had to go to the main post office. This means having to leave me on my own so it was a week or so until she got there. They told her they couldn’t cash it either and that she had to go to a bank. A few days later Nix and I headed into town to the only bank we have left but they wouldn’t change it either and told Nix that she had to go to her own bank which is twenty minutes away. It was a week or so until we were near there and Nix went in only to be told that they couldn’t cash it either and she had to find a Western Union office. 




There are only two Western Unions and they are a long way away so it was decided that Ginny would send cash instead.  Nix sent the money order back to Ginny in the States and finally the 50 US dollar bill arrived. Nix took it to the local post office and they wouldn’t change it and told her to go to the main post office. They wouldn’t do it either and sent Nix to the bank and guess what, they would change it but they needed Nix’s bank card which she didn’t have.  



So, meanwhile Ginny discovers that she can’t get a refund on the money order and so is sending it back to Nix to change it whenever she can. Nix had already decided to send the 50 US dollar bill back to America but Ginny has  very kindly insisted she keep it so I see a new bed on the horizon 🙂



If you haven’t lost the will to live you might like to know that we went to prayer and meditation this morning and the Three Cornered Copse this afternoon… 🙂

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...
