Lemon Drizzle This Morning 😋



 I’m feeling a bit better today, Nix says the Prozac is kicking in 🙂 We had a last walk on the beach last night and I did get quite tired but today I feel much better. When we got to the beach this morning there were lots of people waving their arms around. Nix thought they were praising the Lord but no…something to do with keeping calm. I did suggest that Nix might like to join..not amused 🤣






A bit later on we went to the Parish Centre for tea and lemon drizzle cake, very yummy. I was only allowed a couple of very small pieces as I was sick yesterday and I have to be a bit careful…apparently 🙄 Indie came to join us with Jackie and Catherine. I got extra cuddles from Catherine, I think Indie was a bit jealous. 




Nix got a birthday gift from Carol Williamson and she decided to spend it on herself…can you believe it. Anyway I suppose most of her money does go on moi so I won’t begrudge her a couple of cushions because I know she really liked them. So…after lemon drizzle and cuddles we headed down to Caroline Craft’s stall at the Artisans’ market and Nix chose two in her favourite design. She is very pleased with them as they are nice and plump 🙂






This afternoon Alan one of our neighbours came to dig up a small camellia tree that wasn’t doing very well in our garden because the soil isn’t right and they are going to put it in a big pot in their garden. We think our garden looks better because it was a bit crowded before. The sweet peas seem to be growing every day and Nix like to go out and stare at them and she cuts some of the tendril thingies off too. She is also staring at the pot she planted the French Bean seeds in. She is willing them to grow but I think she is being just a little premature. 


Nix’s birthday isn’t actually until Tuesday by the way. She is very impatient and likes to open her presents and cards as they arrive. Her excuse for this is that when you live alone it’s a bit depressing opening them all together with no one to share it with. She likes to open them as they arrive and she gets real enjoyment out of that. Each to their own I guess, I suppose I’d better go out and buy her something. I might buy her lots of doggie treats  so that will save her having to buy them for me. Nix says that’s not quite how it works, she’d prefer a new pair of shoes…weird!

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
