A cloudy start with a cool wind but because I was visiting Les this afternoon without George and Betty, I chose to walk on the moors to tire them both so they will snooze while I’m out. A fleece hat was needed to keep my head warm but still, it was fun with both dogs doing zoomies. On the way home I bought a birthday card…

Dancing shoes

It has rained most of the day and this evening a thunderstorm rumbled round but quieter now. After a short walk round the block with George and Betty I decided it was a good day to get some indoor DIY jobs completed. Everything does seem to take longer these days but I’m learning to be methodical rather than get…

Good morning and happy Sunday. Yesterday was busy and began with a relaxing walk. I was driving with George and Betty towards our usual car park but when I saw a space halfway up on the other side of the road, I pulled over, let the dogs off their leads and walked slowly for over a mile, up hill and down! The lambs are…

Leather belt

I didn’t manage to check in yesterday but, although on the go, did enjoy myself. I walked early with the dogs and again bumped into David but with diagnosed arthritic hips he is incredibly slow which gives me an aching back as I can’t walk steadily but I don’t want to say so because I think most days he doesn’t see anyone.…

A beautiful day with lots of sunshine so the dogs muddy towels were washed and dried then we walked on the moors where we bumped into David with Hattie. She is now on a strict diet which is good because she isn’t a healthy pup carrying lots of extra weight. This afternoon I finally began the big clearance in my wild bottom…

Top hat Me too Lin. Late Sunday afternoon waiting excitedly for the run down to No.1

Times ten 🙃

It has rained all day, that fine soaking sort so apart from a short walk with George and Betty, I’ve been home. As we went out I saw a fledgling Sparrow hopping under a bench seat but George saw it too and tried to chase it but luckily he was already on a lead so I managed to get out of the garden without too much drama. A…

Checking through last week’s unsolicited emails that needed to be deleted I found I had missed one from Anne that arrived last Tuesday. That was the day of my cancer check at the hospital so I must have been too preoccupied. I’ve emailed Anne today to apologise, especially because she addressed it to us all. Of course, I…

Olden times

Good morning and happy Sunday. The weather is unpredictable and because I needed to visit the farm supply store I took George and Betty to the woods for their walk as it’s on the way. Two hefty rain storms hit either side of the walk but we only got slightly wet. It was great to see work has been carried out in the woods…

Election over thank goodness and a predictable result. No idea what to expect over the next 5 years since the winners gave nothing much away in their manifesto but things couldn’t get any worse! I sat up watching results come in until gone 3am but only because friend Pat was on the other end of a WhatsApp call so we kept…

Dog walk

Cat paws

A brighter day here but I wore my new waterproof jacket just in case when walking with George and Betty across the moors and at one point it did try to rain! On the way home I detoured to the next door village polling station and voted, although still undecided because I can’t see it making any difference with the mess we…

Siberian jay

A cloudy, drizzly day but it didn’t matter too much because I was busy with appointments. First I took George and Betty round the block then drove to the next town called Bodmin and visited the opticians with my broken reading glasses and second pair that were too loose. They were repaired free of charge while I waited and…

Blue blood

It’s almost time for my bed and I’m ready after a busy day. We walked on the moors for nearly an hour so that I would know George and Betty would snooze while I was out. A pleasant surprise later at the hospital was finding a parking space right outside the hospital building I attended so no driving in circles when I got…

Radio Caroline. (A pirate station that broadcast in the 60’s from a ship off the English coast)

Hello! Sorry I missed posting yesterday. It was another busy time with me falling asleep in the evening when really I should have gone to bed! Today I’m up early to take the pooches for a walk before driving to the hospital in Plymouth, this time for my skin cancer follow up. At least it’s a pleasant sunny start and if it…

Cooler today because the wind has turned and coming from the north. I took George and Betty to a low section of moors and we strolled for an hour in sunshine before coming home to spend the day outside, although I did also make a couple of online purchases. After dropping a pair of my new reading glasses that somehow…
