Widewater Lagoon Today



 Apparently, I look really grumpy today in all the photographs. I must admit I was slightly annoyed that we went to the lagoon because I have to stay on my lead there because it’s a wildlife sanctuary.  Nix always says that as I don’t go careering around like a lunatic these days it shouldn’t really make any difference to me but it does, I like to be free. 





We’ve seen the shingle shifters twice today. They were on the beach this morning and then when we went to the lagoon this afternoon they were there again. It’s a good job Nix knows the highway code and I must admit it’s probably a good job that I was on the lead because they suddenly appeared from behind the beach huts, it was quite a shock. We got another shock when we saw how many swans there were on the lagoon, over 30.



Today Nix has made me some new custard cream balls and guess what? I ate all my medication in them again. I should’ve thought she would’ve got the hint when I stopped eating the other ones that they weren’t quite right. I think she left them out of the fridge too long when she made them and they tasted funny. The new ones are very yummy and I’ve had all my medication today in them so hopefully no more dire rears . 





Nix is writing an article for the church magazine and I honestly think she thinks she’s quite funny. She keeps laughing as she’s writing, can’t think why. I think she should be paying more attention to typing out my blog which obviously is very funny indeed, because I am the author.



Nix is doing one of those webinar things this evening, something to do with technology. She won’t be able to understand any of it, I don’t know why she bothers. On top of that we’ll have the drama of positioning the iPad so that the view from behind her looks interesting. She used to have a photograph of the interior of the summer house as her backdrop but then everybody thought she lived in a shed so she stopped doing that. 


Beth is coming tomorrow and then once we’ve dropped her off at the station, we’re going round to Kay‘s where Nix and Kay will be putting the final touches to the Church logbook…don’t ask!

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 ...

Christmas Is Coming And We Have New Vicar 😋

Image
So we had a very exciting morning at church…actually Nix did, I was asleep for most of it. Nix and the other churchwarden Kay were able to announce to the church that they have a new vicar. They have been unable to tell anyone about it until certain checks had been done so it’s been quite difficult for them. Now everyone knows and we are all looking forward to Rev Dominic Fenton coming to join us. He had to tell his church this morning that he would be leaving so that would’ve been quite difficult for him I should imagine. I had my photo taken with Nicky and Donald after the service, they brought me biscuits 😋 We have a carol service this evening so we’ll be going back just after 5 o’clock as we’re on welcoming duty. Nix has got some fairy lights to wear around her neck but she’s not sure what the rules are in the Church of England. They’re quite fussy about when they turn the lights on and when they don’t so she needs to check that it’s okay.  I don’t think I’ll do that well for wa...
