Went over to sisters a few times during last two weeks to try and sort router out. Had no success for a while. Seems brother in law was stuck with this problem. I was wasting all my free time on it and not able to get on with what I wanted to do. Eventually changed router and got system working. Been going into Poole on Thursdays to see sister for chat and coffees. Got to arrange this week today some time. Manage to chat to her on-line now as well as she can get on-line again now. Ang left two days ago after an argument on Saturday night but came back Sunday. Her brother visited Sunday night and stayed, leaving for work at 7.30. Monday was quiet and we managed to get the dogs out 3 times and spent day playing games with Ang and reading BBC forums. Today Ang went to see her sister and go with her to her Aunt’s for dinner. She left just before 10 and my visitors arrived at 10.25 and left after about 10 minutes when Ang rang. Her sister was hadn’t turned up yet. After got off the phone I took the dogs to the backwaters and wandered around for a while breaking new trainers in. Looking out for new trouble in Africa now cause they are hurting my left heal. Getting out of cowboy boots should ease pressure on area that kicked off in December. Weather has settled to medium precipitation til next full moon. Global finances stabilising for next 8 months to 1 year. Expect Japan to be devastated very shortly depending on the outcome of next month. Two month warning. They ought to read the covenant of ARK.

Before the event

Had appointment yesterday. Took a taxi all way and didn’t get home til 5.30ish. Doctor is still skeptical. I pre-empted his request in my last post. Now I have to wait till the end of summer before either he can say I was right or wrong. Not much point in us talking til then now. Evidence takes time to gather but prediction is all about pre-empting things. Ang’s sister rang yesterday and needed help getting back from Portugal. We booked a ticket for her for tomorrow as she arrived too late at the airport to get a flight today. A friend came round today and stayed for a while chatting. Ang rang her Aunt who has just got back off holiday. Managed to get dogs out with Ang today and went up behind railway track and played ball. Got delivery of dogfood and shopping. Had roast chicken, roast potatoes and broccoli to eat. On nighttime had some kippers and bread and butter. Did new format back ups on both computers. While backup onto Ang’s going I did this post.

More weather

Didn’t really get rained off but dogs managed to pull my shoulder on start of second walk and had to come back. About 10 minutes later had to fetch the mop from Ang’s as she was sick. Shortly after she went to bed for a while. When she got up she drank for a short while then went back to bed. I had left over Chinese warmed up to eat and could only manage dogs onto the green because I didn’t want to leave Ang and my shoulder was really hurting. Decided to do this post after had Chinese. Watched some more TV for a while and then settled down to news. Weather is predicted to be wet for a while. There’s a surprise! Going to be a whole lot wetter this year, til summer be out. Chance of heat wave high though.

Rained off

Yesterday had to wait in for delivery. Bloke didn’t turn up until about 5.30. Only managed to get dogs out on the green all day because didn’t know when he was arriving. Ang shouted a lot and upset the dogs after she’d been drinking all morning. She eventually calmed down and went to bed in the afternoon. I got a Chinese about 7.30 and got to bed about 10.30. Woke this morning just after 9 and got the dogs out. It was raining although not heavy. Fed dogs just after 10 then took them to the backwaters. The middle field was flooded out with huge puddles everywhere. I came back via the shops and the road next to the paper shop was flooded at the end by the shops. More rain is due as well! Don’t know if dogs will get another walk today if the rain comes back. They’ll have to manage with just going out on the green.

Last order

Woke just before 9. Had a day of just taking dogs on green. Had Buster off the lead twice. Watched some of Andrew Marr, The Big Questions and Countryfile. Weather not nice and Ang says she’s never going to eat meat again after seeing slaughter on programmes recently. If foot and mouth comes back we won’t have the animals to slaughter. I’m even thinking of going meat free again. The dogs had some bacon today at breakfast time. They love it. I had beans on toast and coffee as well. Going to have to get used to black coffee. Not giving up sugar though. I wonder if any of this actually means anything in the big scheme of things. I ain’t giving up eggs though. I wonder how long Ang will last. I got quite a lot of chicken and fish in the freezer and to be delivered. Last lot of normal milk as well.

Mishap and magic

Ang went home two days ago. Came back over yesterday. She’s drinking heavily at the minute. I went over Westbourne today to see a friend got back about 12.30. Took dogs to the picnic bench afterwards. Arrived at the hay meadow just as an elderly man with a walking stick fell over. Was just about to tie dogs up to help when a woman in a car stopped and a man with Jack Russell’s stopped. One of his dogs went for the man on the ground and he had to pull them back. They helped him up and he seemed ok. Came back via the church and Ang had crashed out in the chair. Stuck Harry Potter on and watched a bit then did this post.

Music

Woke today about 8.15. Took dogs out and then had coffee. Got dogs on a walk to the backwaters about 9.30. Saw 6 swans on the bay. Came back and had fried egg and beans on toast for breakfast. Played music videos on TV. Went for a second walk about 12.30 and ended up at the picnic bench. Came back and watched some more music. Afterwards did a shop at Sainsbury’s. Spent £130. About 4.00 we took the dogs out on the green with a football. Tried to find something decent to watch on TV and ordered an Indian about 5.30. Ang spent most of day playing computer games.

Failure

Went to sisters to help brother in law with computer Sunday at 4. He picked me up. Managed to format wrong drive at first attempt. Then next day he lost rest of files we’d salvaged. Been to mucky pond with dogs twice in last three days. Loadsa rain today. Ang lost her rag with neighbour yesterday over her dog being out off the lead. I backed her up. Neighbour said dogs going. Went to backwaters as usual this morning and called in shops on way back. Need to order more dog food. Got quizzed by visitors and told them a few home truths

Bills and a Trojan

Weather has been cold recently. Two days ago was bitter. Cold with a really icy wind. Yesterday was mild like today. I met my sister in Poole to give her her chrissy presents and have a chat and coffees. Finally found a place where you can get decent tasting coffee in Poole. A little place on the high street on a corner. There are patches of blue sky today in between the rain clouds. Got up about 8.15 and took dogs out. Had a slow coffee and fed dogs. Neither of them ate so we took them to the backwaters for a walk. Met the white Alsatian that attacked buster twice. Luckily he was on the other side of the field and I got ours on the lead before Buster saw him. Came back and Buster ate his breakfast. Dainty still not interested at 12. Ang tried to pay some bills via telephone banking but their system has been down two days and likely not to be back running for two more. Yesterday Ang’s sister rang after an argument with her boyfriend and said she prolly wasn’t going on holiday today with him. We rang earlier though and her phone was off so we think she’s prolly changed her mind and gone to the Algarve with him. Ang gone over to mop up the leak she’s got at hers. We’re trying to work out if it’s from her pipes or her washing machine so we can get the right people out Monday. Not a good start to the year for her. Her utility bills are really high as well since her sister has been staying at her flat so she’s not very happy. Brother in law has managed to get a Trojan on his computer and have been going on-line with my brother the last few nights trying to help him but had no luck so far as it is a really new one with no info on it available anywhere.
