Today I Got To Wear A Vicar’s Scarf Thingy 😇



 I have dictated the blog to Nix and now I’m putting my paws up in the cool of the summerhouse. Nix is having to lie on the bed so she can keep watch for the intruder who digs the garden up. She’s even more determined now to knock down the wall between the lounge and the bedroom so she can see straight out to the garden. She’ll never be able to afford it so I don’t need to worry just yet about the intruder being spotted 🙂



We had the café this morning and for the first time not a single person came. Some of the ladies from the earlier communion service stayed on so that was nice. Rev Pat let me wear her vicar’s scarf thingy round my neck…I liked that 😇



Sainsbury’s called to say they couldn’t deliver our groceries for reasons best known to them themselves so Nix has had to go out and buy some food for her tonight as she had used everything up. Sainsbury’s will bring our shopping tomorrow now which is a good thing as my tuna will be in one of the bags. It’s not been a good week for shopping because when Nix went online to buy my food the smaller bag with mobility was out of stock everywhere so she had to order the massive sack. The chap who delivers it waltzed  up the drive with it and made it look really light. He put it on the step and walked off and when Nix went to bring it indoors she couldn’t move it because it was really heavy. It’s a good job we have slidy floors. 



This afternoon we went to Brooklands to have a cup of tea and some cake. The café isn’t open yet but they have been using the horse box but they are only open in the mornings so we missed them. I hope the café is going to be open all day because I prefer to go in the afternoons.

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
