Fri night BBQ Bonanza
Phew – what a night. Hot, hot and more hot – good job we'd planned a BBQ and LOTS of frozen margaritas. They really do seem to be the drink of the season this year, first time ever… Scrumpy was in…

Mmmlllhhhhhhhhpphh
Yes, that's how you spell 'deep peed off sigh'… God it's hard this weird half life. Where everything would be great if I could just feel 'like me' again. But where every day I wake up in pain, turning over gingerly to assess what's hurting, where and why and how much.. I caught a glimpse…

Double Doggy Delirium
So we got the furry girls a new toy each from the country fair. As anticipated, each doggle moved to a safe spot to chew their own toy. Then in perfect syncopation, each went to investigate the potentially greater niceness of the other one's toy and stole off with that to a different area of…

Nanimals A Gogo
Went to the South of England Show at Ardingly yesterday – a perfect summer's day – flip flops, sun cream and a cool bag for the scotch egg, rib eye and pork pie purchasing, and me with t shirt sleeves tucked attractively into my bra straps so I didn't end up with tan lines before…

Bord-D’Oh…
Had one of the best days of 2017 so far (and certainly of 2016 too, which had little to rival anything) last Wed. Landed in Bordeaux with Janine, and headed to Les Sources de Caudalie, a vinotherapy based spa hotel in incredible grounds, which we last went to as a girly group of 5 for…

Horses for Courses
So, on Tuesday I thought 'must get a quick mani before we head off to Bordeaux at gnat's crack on Wed, so my nails look decent'. And as there wasn't much time I foolishly dropped into my non-favourite local nail bar to get the paws seen to. This time, the aggressive Vietnamese woman manages to keep…

Birthday Chilling
Well, little miss furry chops Scrumpy Dog made it to the grand old age of Five yesterday. Having been to the dog salon this week, to get her pre-birthday ear…

Impromptu Marargarita Night
Yes, I know – it look like a typo but its actually a throw back to a little Thai bar on a boat holiday some years ago, where every cocktail was charmingly mis-spelled, and since then there is no such thing as a Margarita, only a Marargarita… Somehow Fri evening went from 'Nurse popping over…

Wedding Anniversary weekend
Blimey – 6 years already – would you Adam & Eve it?… Met up with our 'Northern spaniel chums' – as David & Mandy are delighted to be known – en route to Gloucestershire last Friday, but as it was raining, managed to get not a single photo of our wander round town, emergency purchasing…
