  • Three legs or four?

    Just taken Scrumpy up to the Common for her first lead walk somewhere other than just slowly up and down our road, post her hip surgery. SO SO lovely to see her walking on all four legs again. Providing we go average pace she is finally managing to walk on all four legs again. And…

  • Happy Big Birthday Clare G!

    Well you just can’t believe it could be possible, looking at these photos.  But the newly acquired Over-60’s travel pass seems to be proof that somehow Clare G is a certain quite momentous age today. And so no better way to start the day than sharing a mani pedi, then joining J for a Megan’s…

  • Good Prof News

    Saw him today pre-Dara and got the very (very phew) pleasing news that no sign of disease in the bone marrow, and the only thing flashing up on the PET CR scan were a load of inflammatory areas due to the infection i picked up. Basically still in remission, hurrah.  All back to normal now,…

  • My new friend Siri

    So how come NO-ONE has ever mentioned to me that you can say Hey Siri when driving the car hands free, and tell it to put a specific thing in your diary on a set time and date. Discovered this en route to visit Mum today, while trying to keep myself entertained. Magic!!! Apparently you…

  • Infection Schmection

    Well the last ten days have been pretty much a wash out. I’ve got some weird inflammatory infection, which has been making me feel just like I’ve got flu – tired, hot and cold, achy joints, bit nauseous, sore skin, breathless etc – except with no cough or cold part. And it’s been dragging on,…

  • Scrumpy’s Big Op

    I took poor Scrumpy to the Supervet's gaff yesterday at 8.30am. Opened the boot to let her out and she was quivering on her side with her tail firmly between her legs – she clearly knew she was back somewhere where people stick needles in her and poke her sore bones. Had a good chat…

  • The Wrong Furry Friend

    So we’ve had to buy a huge crate for poor Scrumpy to recover in, when she has her big hip operation this coming Monday. Thus far, Scrumpy has entirely ignored the big welcoming door and soft mat inside. But little miss Mojo seems to be making herself quite comfortable… x

  • A Dot of Dolly

    After a ribs supper at Joe Allen's I went to see the new musical 9-to-5 at the Savoy theatre last night with Janine – lucky her, my idea for her Xmas present, as we went to Dollywood in the US a few years back, so I thought it was time for a spot more of…
