Saturday 29^th December

Still felt a bit tired this morning….despite early night, joints are aching and couldn’t work out why- it’s that dratted injection- feels like I’ve had the chemo!! Luckily eased off as the day went on, and I did manage to elicit a certain amount of sympathy from aunt so that she felt compelled to do some cleaning (mind you, she did make a lot of the mess in the first place!)

Muddy dog walk before lunch and then the ‘Grand Master’ of Canasta took on the two men of the house, and reigned supreme again.

 In fact this afternoon we were so fed up with her that we put her on a plane and sent her back to the UK…….. 

I shall miss her greatly.

Who else can I be so impossibly rude about?

Her flight had hardly taken off before our house was invaded by ‘Chinese take-away’ munching youths, eleven of them taking up two rooms drinking tea and talking while simultaneously watching Lord of the Rings!!! 

The poor dog nearly wet herself………

“Remember, a puppy isn't just for Christmas.

They're quite nice cold on Boxing Day, too.”
