I know I was only away for four days and I had a great time in Turkey with Di, but I have to confess that when it was time to return home I felt just a little excited…I do love coming back here. I had also left three people and Gina in charge and thought [...]

Grumpy Old Woman…

Not me !!! Baba marta!!… Crikey, she really is grumpy. We had screaming gales with snow on Sunday night and last night the wind howled like a Banshee all night. And because my house is so high and has so many corners, the wind seems to scream around every one, so it can be quite [...]
even more ‘things you see’

As I gazed out the window this morning – I’m snowed in, so doing quite a bit of that – I couldn’t help but notice a vehicle that was sliding it’s way up the road. Actually, it wasn’t the masses of snow or the sliding car that caught my attention, it was the sheer numbers [...]
Chilly Air, Chilly Dog

And so the weather has taken a turn for the dreary. After all that superb weather, there’s been a little snow and quite a lot of rain. Gina has made another move, this time from the bathroom to the living room. And why has she done this? Well, I think it’s because she’s cold…and before [...]
Winter ?? What Winter ??

After all the warnings I got about what a terrible winter this was going to be, we start the month of February bathed in sunshine. OK, the nights and early mornings have been mighty cold…minus 7, minus 9 etc but the days are just glorious. The air is still cold enough to keep a little [...]
soft touch

I figured with guests coming I had to get Gina off the furniture. Not a good look for the guests to find my old tyrant languishing on the downstairs couch. She started the process herself by recently deciding to sleep in my room again, which is where she used to sleep when I first got [...]
Me & my Gal…

are just getting on with it… well, I’m getting on with it, Gina is sleeping and having a thoroughly lovely time. There’s been a few rather dreary days …grey with fog, which I hate, though it has dawned bright and sunny this morning. It may have been a little dreary but it’s been a good [...]
From hell to paradise…

The people one meets when out walking. I think I met Gina’s abuser. Firstly, for those who don’t know, I’ll give you a potted history of my Gina. In September 2007 when Ivan (my ex-builder) arrived at my house asking if I could help him with a dog, I didn’t know what to expect. He [...]

So much for getting my blog up to date before the New Year clicked over.!! Join me now as I step into my time machine and go back to 2010 and finish up a couple of bits and pieces I’ve been trying to do since before Mia became so ill. Ah yes indeed…..even before the [...]
Christmas 2010
Posted in Friends & Family, The Dogs, The Language on December 27, 2010 | 5 Comments »
To say I entered the 2010 festive season completely exhausted and a miserable bastard is probably an enormous understatement. I bought Mia’s body home and with the help of three local men, Mitko, Gernadi and Mitko’s stepfather Nanno, I buried her on Thursday. I’ve placed her in the area where I intend to plant new [...]
