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 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...
