Strange Beeps In The House Today…



 So I suppose I did wake Nix up in the middle of the night, well it was actually early in the morning…4.30am! I thought she might want to accompany me into the garden so we could look for the comet…she didn’t! Unfortunately she read her emails and there was one which meant she then had to be somewhere by 7:30am. She made me come inside and I went to sleep and she had to set her alarm for 7 o’clock so we could jump in the car and head out. So instead of having my normal walk up the boardwalk, I had a walk along the beach down by church. It’s not quite as nice because there’s no boardwalk down that end, but there is a bit of grass that I got to walk on so I didn’t mind too much. 



When we got back Nix put the dishwasher on. When she went to unload it, everything was cold and not washed. There was a major panic over not having a dishwasher but she put it on again and it was all fine so we don’t know what happened there, she probably pressed the wrong button. There were strange ‘beeps’ that kept happening but then Nix realised they were coming from some programme on the TV🫢




I did actually sleep until lunchtime and then we did go up the boardwalk and it was a very nice day again, almost like the summer. We didn’t stay too long because we were meeting Jackie later on to go into town for a coffee and a wander round the churchyard. Nix decided to wash her hair and while she was using the straighteners there were more strange beeps. She turned the TV off but unfortunately they were still there. She’s just Googled it to find that it’s really dangerous and she can’t use them again. This is a major trauma in Nix’s life, she needs those hair straighteners. She decided this was a luxury she had to have and so she went onto the website and to her horror realised that they were nearly £300! Thankfully when she investigated further, she discovered that the original ones were not quite that much, but she still says that there will be no more tins of tuna for my lunch, but I know she’s not serious.




We met Jackie and headed into town and sat outside for a while. It was quite busy really for a weekday. Nix said it’s because there are a lot of old people in Shoreham and they have time to sit around drinking coffee. Lots of them are looking after grandchildren, Nix says she wouldn’t like to be doing that and perhaps it’s a good thing she doesn’t have any children. 



Nix has ordered the straighteners and now she feels guilty… this is a good thing because it means I’ll still get my tin of tuna for lunch 😋



You know how we have lovely banners in our church made by the wonderful  Chris Diebel. Well I think it’s a good job we do have Chris because terrible things can happen otherwise…see pic 🫣

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
