Hope it was a good one, Eve xx

Do the results show glaucoma or are they just checking? Car doing fine and much easier to drive than the previous one xx

Having a quiet day after a busy week with lots of rearranging of plans. Went to a talk on pond life on Thursday evening, and to hear live folk music near Newark last night at a church hall. It's the first time I have taken my new car down the A1, and it did very well. We had a walk with Finley's bestie, Flo spaniel, and her dad yesterday afternoon. Last one for a fortnight as they go on hols today.

OK here, thank you, but tired x

Managing ok thanks, but getting very tired in evenings. Sister and bro in law in Essex had their car stolen a few nights ago. Thieves broke in and took car keys, also bank cards but dropped those when they fled in haste after dog raised the alarm. Dog really kicked off and was banging around in the kitchen, probably sounded like something much more scary than a staffy. Well done Buzz.

I tried to reply but it has vanished. Feeling much better, thank you x

Sorry, been out of action. First I got a 48 hr tummy bug which wiped me out, then the computer got a glitch, now sorted. Then had plans for today completely thrown out, but all ended ok.

Hello April

Happy Easter to everyone x Mine is very quiet as I have been hit by an awful tummy bug, so have not even got dressed, just stayed in bed sipping water. Fed and watered Fin and let him out into garden etc. He has at last realised that I am poorly and not just being idle.

Hopefully not up to very much except odd jobs in house and garden, and some walks and birdwatching xx

Glad your grandson and your friend are both home xx

3 little sweeties. How is their mum getting on?

Yes I do remember them, and I did meet them years ago on a beach walk in South Wales. Amazing people. Thanks for the link, will take a look.

Grateful that the wind has swung round to southerly, losing the worst of the chill. Walked in forest yesterday with Fin's friend Flo and her dad. Only one other dog walker there, very quiet. Doing the same today as it is more sheltered and less muddy there than most other places. Will spend some time today and tomorrow sorting out stuff for a mega jumble sale at scout & guide hut in next village.

Vet visit went OK, vet wasn't too worried about Finley's weight as she says her BT is the same. Doesn't like the cold and sleeps by the fire as much as possible in winter, then gets more active in spring. We did have sunlight from late morning, and Fin spent 2 hours racing around the garden non-stop after rodents and wood pigeons. before we set off for the vet.

Trying to stay warm, off to vet tomorrow for Finlay's vax and will get an earful from vet as he has turned into a pudding in spite of plenty of walks. He doesn't mind a bit of rain but hates the cold, so he doesn't spend the day running round the garden as he does in warmer weather.

Nice sunny day, walked in forest again with Flo and her people. Cold wind though. Did a bit of gardening.

Not much warmer here, cold and damp, very overcast all day. Brr!

Clumber Park for the afternoon, unexpectedly warm day so took advantage of it. Finley is worn out and happy. Hoping chest infection improves. I've done a bit of garden tidying as well, first council garden bin collection of year today so filled it with holly hedge clippings.

New car doing very well, much easier to drive than its predecessor so I feel like going further afield once the days are a bit longer. It has a CD player, the old one had a cassette player!

Getting my new car was a great moment

Finley would like to know if you can get a whole buffalo. He says he is very hungry as his horrid mum has put him on a diet.

Glad your long journey went well, and that Harry has taken everything in his stride.

Hope blackmagic has arrived safely in Norfolk. It's been a lovely day here. Went for a walk in the forestry with Fin's spaniel girlfriend and her dad.

Harry sounds like a steady fellow. Odd reason to give him up, as one would normally make sure that he and neighbour dog stayed out of each other's way if they didn't get on.
