Bit Of An Incident On The Beach This Morning 😔



 Hi Everyone

This might have to be quick because Rev Jane is coming round for coffee and a chat soon and then we have home group this evening so Nix has to get the chairs in and tidy up of course 🙂




We wanted to tell you about an incident on the beach this morning. Nix had me on my lead because we were about to leave when this young black Labrador came running towards us. Nix shouted to the owner to ask her if she would please keep him away. We knew he was going to jump on me and my legs really aren’t very strong at the moment and I fall over quite easily. The owner completely ignored Nix and just started to walk very slowly towards us. By this time Nix had grabbed the Labrador by the collar because she didn’t want him jumping on me. He was really full on and I didn’t like it and I tried to tell him off but he wouldn’t take any notice. 




When the owner finally arrived she still didn’t get hold of her dog and said she didn’t know what all the fuss was about, he was ‘very friendly’. I have to say Nix was fuming and her wrist was hurting from trying to keep the dog away from me. Nix said, “I’ll tell you what all the fuss is about, my dog is 14, he has a neurological dysfunction, he had a fit the other day, he has no ball joint in one of his back legs and he has no balance. If he gets knocked over, he will have a job getting up. On top of that I’m nearly 80 and I’m trying to hang onto your dog because you can’t be bothered.” At this point she got hold of her dog and took him away, complaining that Nix was being ridiculous. 




Now I know that you’ll all be on our side, but I think Nix just needed to get it out of her system…she was really upset about it.  



Oh yes… she’s got a massive bruise on her knee from where she fell over the other day. She only noticed it when she tried to kneel for communion 🫢

It’s My Birthday Tomorrow 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

 We’ve not done a lot today. Nix has been dozing off at various times and to be honest, I’ve been asleep too. It’s quite nice actually not having anything to do. Nix has been working on the church log book so there was lots of tutting, mainly because she couldn’t remember where she’d put anything. Just in case you were wondering, the log book is an account of everything that is added to the church or taken away or repaired. Eventually Nix will fill in the actual document with special ink that doesn’t fade so it will be there for future generations to read.  We did go to the Rec this afternoon as I did need a little walk but we didn’t stay too long, it was very cold. It was also very muddy but not to worry, most of it will fall off tomorrow in time for my birthday 🙂 Speaking of my birthday, I have received quite a lot of presents and cards which is very exciting. At the moment we are waiting for my birthday cake to be delivered, it’s a vanilla sponge with raspberry cream. I sh...

RIP Fripp 5.1.2010 - 8.2.25 😪

  RIP Fripp 5.1.2010 - 8.2.25 My darling Fripp has crossed the bridge 😪 He passed very peacefully this afternoon in a lovely special room with a bed for him and a sofa for me. I am okay, I think, and I know time will heal.  A little bit about my gorgeous boy…he was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease when he was 7. He did really well on his home cooked diet but when he was eight he developed autoimmune thrombocytopenia due to some meds he was given…not by Bron. He went on a high dose of steroids, lost a lot of his coat with his gorgeous tail being almost bald. He survived the disease and went on to become strong but always with the kidney disease in the background.  Some months later he got sick again and went into kidney failure. He spent a week at North Downs Referrals where they discovered his ureter was blocked with a stone and so he received a subcutaneous ureteral bypass from his kidney to his bladder. He was one of the first dogs to get it and I’m told he has be...
