A Wander Into Town And Some Gardening šŸ™‚



 We had a busy morning this morning, well I say ‘we’ really it was just Nix as I was asleep for most of it. She was on welcoming duty and that means more than just welcoming, you have to do things like collecting the offertory and guiding people for communion. This meant I was on my own in my bed for the whole time but I only woke up once and Liz was there to give me a cuddle until Nix came back. Once we had our tea and biscuits in the church hall we went down to see Joy who hasn’t been very well so that was very nice. I was keen to get out in her garden but was prevented from doing so…by Nix šŸ˜•





This afternoon we have been for a walk into town. I do like that walk over the bridge and Nix always lets me decide where we will go and I always choose town and the churchyard. Nix will be going back over there this evening as there is a special service for finding a new vicar. We haven’t had a replacement vicar since Rev Andrew left so Nix thinks they need all the help they can get…from above šŸ˜‡šŸ™





The tide was right in this afternoon so all the houseboats were actually floating for a change rather than sitting on the sand. Nix took a photo as she thought the river looked really pretty. 





Tomorrow is a bank holiday so we have the whole day with nothing to do. It might be quite hot so we shall have to find a shady spot. 




We have a new clematis, it’s called Rouge (that’s French)  Cardinal and it’s going to grow by Jackie’s fence šŸ™‚ Nix seems very excited about this and also the fact she has picked enough beans for two meals šŸ™„

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

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 year
