Goodbyeee!

Popped to the Links to meet up with Annemique, Archie’s long time, erstwhile walker. In fact, she took him out regularly for about five years - until she got a dog of her own! Indie is a sweet wee thing. Very energetic, and so, of course, Archie just ignores her.

We met to say ‘Cheerio’ - for she’s off back home to Sweden to have a change of career (she doesn’t want to sit at a computer all her life) and become a midwife. Four years training, but she’ll definitely never be out of a job after that. Indie is going too, and her ticket cost about 10 times her mum’s one!! Archie was too busy keeping his eye on a dog who was getting nearer, good girl, Indie. But then she got fed up and complained. (Extra)

Elizabeth came for a bonus walk with Archie, so he was surprised and delighted. Once he’d gone, we decided to go for a jaunt in the car! How exciting. Well, no - it was only to B&Q, for a few ‘essential’ things. Turns out, that’s what everybody else was doing. The car park was mobbed, but plenty of room inside.

Got some wood stain to repaint the outdoor furniture once the weather is warmer, and to replace the big half tin that was spilt all over the back garden pavers during that hurricane last week. And got some nails. 

The Sussexes/Buckie Palace spat is ramping up! Hopefully it’ll spice up the next series of ‘The Crown’, as a lot of it could be quite, well - DULL...
