That's me boosted, so in the spirit of self care and keeping my strength up, I had to buy these. It's such a shame they come in a pack of four, whatever will I do with the other three 🙄

Elsie's second gotcha anniversary. Very different dog from the one we picked up from Dog's Trust Shrewsbury two years ago, having put on 6kg, turned foxy red, learned to bark and hate squirrels, and perfected looking cute.

The foxes visit our garden and have been leaving poop, recently with very visible kernels/seeds in that I can't identify, so this morning I cleaned some off and stuck them in a pot. Should know what they are in 2 to 5 years. Six year old me would be proud 😁 #science #wildlife

A friend very proudly gave me a jar of her crabapple jelly, which I smiled and said all the right words over but yes, it's inedible thanks to the choice of jar. Such a shame, but the whole kitchen now smells of garlic.

We had a guide dogs stall at a craft fair on Saturday. We didn't make a huge amount of money, but I think between the six of us we spent more than we took 😆😆. I got some knitting done, there was a lot of crochet going on, and I bought a knitted ear warmer. Isn't it lovely #sheep #knitting 🧶

Elsie keeping eye contact to communicate the presence of her toys on the deck behind her in case it had escaped my attention. The deck is lethally slippy ( feedback to be given) but there is a grassy patch to the side where they can be thrown and chased, in case I'd forgotten since yesterday.

View from my window at 7. Been out with the dog for her morning ablutions, first cup of tea drunk, time for a short read before seizing the day very gently once more.

We have landed. Cottage lovely if a little overstyled, but more than adequate for our needs and will be great for when OH can come up with us.
