All charged up but time for bed. The city of Plymouth is a rather bleak place since it was heavily bombed during the war and by the time the rubble was cleared it was early 60’s when architects were crazy about modern grey concrete blocks and square buildings. It is, to be honest, a soulless place, more so since lockdowns…

I’m home after my lunch with friends in Plymouth and a bit of. Christmas shopping added on. My concerns about it being Black Friday were unnecessary as there was less traffic than usual so I found a long stay car park at the other end of town to the restaurant and walked. One friend couldn’t join us due to sickness but we…

It’s times like this I wish we didn’t live so far apart. George, Betty and I could meet Anne and Jilly for a woodland walk then we would drop in on Sandy to make sure she is truly alright before taking her with us to visit Patsy, John and Katie and share a pot of coffee. Last but definitely not least, we would head for…

A busy day already with early grocery shopping, a walk in local woods with George and Betty then on to the farm supply store for chicken corn and dog treats. Oh yes, then there was a large, sticky Belgium bun I’ve just devoured! There goes tomorrow’s weigh in! A cold, sunny day so I want to get some pruning done outside…

Wow Anne, she’s amazing and looks so healthy… clever you! The best I could manage is my dad’s Christmas cactus that’s now flowering in spite of being scrawny. You might not want to will the gorgeous Jilly Bean to me when I tell you what happened today. Chrissie phoned to ask if I would walk Bella because her cleaner is…

Hooray Anne, you’re back amongst our warm, fluffy flock! ❤️ Crikey though, you have more patience than me as anyone telling me how to live my life gets short shrift. Nothing worse than cold, congealed battered fish to add to your woes but hopefully you are over the worst and perhaps Mike could be persuaded to think twice…

Another Monday comes round and this one is sunny but very cold; definitely a porridge morning with spoonfuls of stewed plums and Skyr Yogurt which is made the Icelandic way. I set off to walk to the top of the moors but soon discovered why the sheep and large herd of ponies were sheltering on low ground when a freezing…

Cold and sunny, George’s favourite weather, so we walked to the top of the moors and back. Fresh pot of coffee on the go while I make a plan for outdoor activities. Mucking out the hen house is top of the list. Also been looking through a catalogue that arrived with my new slippers and am very tempted to buy a pair of top…

It was another gloomy start with low clouds hanging over us so I didn’t rush out with George and Betty, in fact didn’t arrive at the usual car park on the moors until after 10 and that meant meeting a long line of dog walkers that I know. I did more talking than walking but it was an enjoyable hour and George behaved…

Gained another pound,, not sure how! Creeping back up so need to behave before Christmas!

Another mild, dry day that began with an enjoyable long walk. The car park was nearly full and I still wonder where all these people come from and why at this time of year. As we set off towards the stone Hurlers I could see a long, rather straggly line of hikers walking toward us from the right and quickly realised we…

I’ve spent my evening watching the movie The Dig that I remember Anne enjoying earlier in the year. A gentle story based on true events and I can see I will be working my way through a never ending list until the day I die, that’s once I get used to where and how it’s all stored. It’s all very well having a smart tv but it…

Thank you Sandy, I have bookmarked the opening through your link so will hopefully have no more problems finding our group. I have Waze App on my phone so of course you’re right, I can use it to find the restaurant even if on foot. If Black Friday is next Week I think it’s going to be busy in the city centre so that will…

When I pulled back my bedroom curtains and saw the early sunshine I stripped my bed, tossing sleepy George and Betty in the air, and got the washing machine going so by the time we returned from our walk on the moors I could hang it out to dry. A great plan but already clouds are drifting over and the temperature has…

Gained 2 lbs when weighing on the 13th 😢

Good evening! Another grey day with mist and low cloud hanging over my head as well as the occasional drizzly shower. I was hoping to get some tidying in my garden but it’s far to wet so instead, after a walk on the moors, I made a large pot of vegetable soup to enjoy over the next few days then spent too much time…

We’ve been for a walk… mild and dry but a sky made up of layers! Monday means housework! Jackie 🥰

Popping in before getting ready for bed. A lazy day with phone calls, chats with my neighbours and a long WhatsApp call to my friend Pat. It’s been a dry day and relatively mild which allowed me to keep doors and windows open for a few hours and air the place. I took the pooches across the moors for our early walk and…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN Like it or not you are a valued Sneaker, even if you remain in the shadows! We all love you because you take such good care of Patsy. Personally I feel I’ve got to know you just as well as I know your wonderful wife so am sending hugs across land and sea along with my very best wishes that you have a…

Well we certainly did enjoy a cold walk but didn't go too far then once home, I called Chrissie and agreed I would visit at 1230 to walk Bella. Before I went I took my new tv out of its box and spent an age connecting its feet that are black, requiring black screws to be attached through a cavity into black tv frame. That…
