Dinkie Dawnies Dubious Diary of Downsizing, Deflation, and Debauchery

[skinnydawn]

Hey!
I havent been on for a day and you have tons of messages to catch up. You're one popular lady missy!
Hope you're having a nice weekend and the Saints won for you x

Lol! Thanks Penny x

Hope the voice is coming back btw!

Saints are playing tomorrow so its going to be a mad dash back from church in time to have dinner and then settle down in front of the telly to watch it x

Ditto what Penny said - I've not been on here since Thursday and it's gone manic.

Shame on you and Sarah for giggling at the poor man and his crutches - but I think I would have done too.

Suki sounds to be over her encounter of a chow kind - might teach her to be a bit wary of bigger dogs, but keep an eye on her next time you come across one as she may be a bit frightened.

I hope things go ok for your mum, doesn't sound like a nice op at all.

Anyway, I'm off to bed as it's late and I'm cold sitting out here on the patio.
In fact, I'm freezing! So nite nite

Evening guys x

Late again lol!

Had a nice lie in this morning with tea in bed...lovely! Then Gwyn made a start on cleaning the kitchen and doing the hoovering while I had a shower and got dressed. He's a good lad

We decided to take Suki for a walk to the garden centre as we needed a birthday card for Edna, and some vegetables. Although it was a bit chilly, we had quite a pleasant walk up there. We tried our other little shih tzu Sophies coat on Suki and it was a little too big but wearable so she went out in that. She looked so sweet! At the garden centre we got stopped every 2 minutes by people saying how pretty suki was and asking us all about her! We were like proud parents lol!

Shirley popped round for a cup of tea this afternoon. She's going to Norfolk on Tuesday for a couple of days to see Edna on her birthday. And she told us she (shirley) had joined an over 60's club this week and had already done an art class, and had signed up for some trips out too! I'm so glad she's done that...I think it will be really good for her.

After Shirley went home, I made Dan a loaf of bread, made 2 sw curries in the slow cookers for tomorrow, and cooked the tea. And tonight we just chilled on the settee with a glass of wine..bliss!

Off to church in the morning and watching Saints on the telly in the afternoon so probably won't be about much until later on x

Happy Sunday everyone xxx

 

[skinnydawn]

Ooh hello Bev! Cross posts again lol! It's very cold here...and we've had some rain too. But I'm all snuggled up in bed so that's ok x

We walked past the garden today of the dog that bit suki and once again it tried to break through the hedge to get to her. They're beautiful dogs, red chows, but one of them seems infatuated with poor little Suki. I don't think for a minute that it really meant to hurt her last time, but unfortunately it did. Today we kept walking really fast but Suki was very wary and a bit barky so she obviously remembered what had happened.

Nite nite hunni .. enjoy your weekend Xxx

 

[bexyboo]

You are late dawn, though me too...

Sounds like you've had a good day, nice and chilled but poor Suki getting all worked up again going past the chows house bless her. Did you get a picture of her in the coat?

We took the puppy swimming in the lake today - he loved it. Loves water. In the summer he was always getting right in the water troffs hehe.

Oh that's so good for Shirley to join the group how is edna now? Is she all settled in okay?

Have a good day today Dawn. Hope the saints win for you x

Hi Bex,
I must've just missed you last night...I fell asleep just after posting here...in fact I forgot to post my food for yesterday and that was the reason I posted in the first place lol!

I forgot to take a piccy of suki in her coat but I will take one next time. She was pretty unsure about it at first and stood rooted to the spot but she soon got used to it.

Right, better hit the shower now and get dressed for church.

Have a lovely day and hope your feeling better this morning xxx

So did the mighty saints win? Hope your slow cooked curry was as nice as it sounded? x

 

[skinnydawn]

Evening ladies, gent & Sarah

Well I shall be glad to go to work tomorrow for a rest lol! It's been such a busy day!

We went to church as normal, but as it was communion today we had 2 ladies to give lifts to. Dot, who's in her 80's, comes with us every week but Gladys (in her 90's) only comes once a month on communion weeks. So we didn't take Suki today as it would have been a bit of a squash.

The service was nice, and we had coffee in the church afterwards. And I had some lovely comments from a number of people there on my weight loss, always guaranteed to put me in a good mood lol!

When we got home, I made an onion salad and a mint and cucumber raita to go with the curries I'd made yesterday. Then I decided it would be a good idea to make some low protein flat breads for Dan as he'd said he'd like to try them.

What a mistake that was! OMG! Such a fiddly messy think to do! I got flour all over the place...the cooker, the work top, the floor, even me from head to toe lol!!! But he enjoyed them so I suppose it was worth it!

Dessert was supposed to be fresh raspberries but when I opened up the punnets they were all mouldy Not amused! But as it happened I needn't have bothered worrying cos when I went back into the dining room to see what they all wanted as a replacement, all the boys had b*ggered off to the lounge to watch the rugby...leaving me with all the mess to clear up! Thankfully Vicki and Matt came to my rescue, but it still took us an hour to get all cleared away. And I missed most of the match too, but we won so I suppose that's the important thing.

Then I had to attack the cupboards in the utility room as they were bursting at the seams, and I wanted to put Dans prescription food in them, which was spread out all over the work top in there. So I set about doing that, and 3 loads of washing in between, whch took me another hour and a half!

And now I'm here at last...but a bit distracted cos Masterchef Australia is on which you probably all know by now I love!

I love old people me Dawn! - I had the honour of walking part of the walk today with Bill. Bill has written a book - a manuscript (unpublished) of his war memoirs.

I'm going to contact a few friends-of-friends people to get it published. Published online - it is a story to be seen by a wider audience.

Bill, wrote the book when visiting hospital with his dying wife. A tale of a world war two RAF man who flew Pathfinder missions targetting potential bombin targets in France, Germany Czechoslovakia etc. - it total he flew the maximum 45 missions. - Today, as I felt the strain of hauling my almost 47 year old bones up a Northumberland hillside whilst chatting with this great man, he revealed he is 89 years old!

Over 8 mile today and not just a straight path! - i can't wait to read this manuscript.

Inspirational to the young Steve I can tell you! - he also did the 7.6 mile walk yesterday too.
