Coffee In Town With Jackie And Indie



 Nix thinks summer has arrived, haven’t the heart to tell her it’s going to be raining tomorrow with a touch of thunder. I can’t hear the thunder these days so I’m not bothered. She’s been tidying the garden and complaining about the slug thingies and the weeds but very happy that everything else is thriving. There have been no intruder incidents thank goodness so all was sweetness and light in the garden. Having said that things got a bit frosty when she heard from my insurance company. She had forgotten that the two claims she put in were for different conditions and they were the first claims of the year so £135 excess…on each one!!! She’s not amused, says I’ll have to live on bread and water…as if 🤣






On our way back from the beach this morning we met an Italian greyhound who had broken his leg. He was very brave, he had a lot of stitches. He is allowed to walk on it now but he’s not allowed to jump and there are sofas and chairs everywhere so he has to stay in a caged area for three months. I don’t think I’d like that, I like to sleep in lots of different places. 



This afternoon we have been for a coffee with Jackie. Well Nix’s version of ‘coffee’ is halloumi on toast with a decaf tea. Her excuse was that she’d had no lunch which is fair enough I suppose…if it’s true 🫢







Nix has a Zoom meeting this evening and a meeting at the vicarage tomorrow so looks like being churchwarden is going to keep her busy. I think this is a good thing as she’s been sitting around the house for long enough 🤣

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
