On The Island

Mal went to his writing course, poetry today. I did a little shopping in Sainsburys while I was waiting.

Back home and Rhys got us into Cheltenham, well it keeps me amused but I’m not much good at choosing winners and of course one I backed was The Jukebox Man (‘Arry’s horse!)

A nice sunny day again.

Mal carried on with cleaning the shed out.

The three of us took Ellie for a short walk over the fields. At least no mist or rain today.

I don’t know why I put this photo on,  I even look ill! Marion then caught her train home, a bit of a relief for me a it is hard work entertaining when you are not well.

Marion and I went into Broadstairs as she said she had never been there before. A bit of a waste of time as a lot of the shops were shut as in a lot of the seaside towns. We went into a quaint coffee shop. Very slow serving us and then they came out and said they had run out of milk, could we wait!!! Tesco was just opposite what was their problem? We were fed up waiting and so left. A coffee shop without milk??

We walked up the High street and found one that had milk!

Only a short time out and back home as my throat was sore again.  I rang the hospital to see if there was any news on my scan. Tenth in the queue, just waiting, eventually they answered.  They said the queue for scans had to be “vetted” to see what type of scan was needed and no idea how long.

I was so tired again that I went to bed at 7. Trouble is I try to do things during the day and then get exhausted. Just as well I was in bed and sleeping as evidently an awful Spurs game, losing 5-2. Mal said I should watch the video of the goals…I don’t think so!

Had I not been ill, Marion and I would have been going to Eastbourne with the Red Hatters today. So as we missed out on that we caught the bus into Canterbury, a slow walk around and then we had our lunch in The Ivy.  The food is so good there.

In the evening Hammers won their game!! Marion is not impressed with football, never has been.

Another misty morning and all the way to Shepherdswell where we took Ellie to Knees Wood for her walk.

Mal cooked a roast and very good it was too and Marion and I watched Crufts and very pleased that the Clumber Spaniel won the gun dog group and then on to win the best in show…result!
