 As you all know we have endured what seemed like a never ending thunder storm over the last 12 hours without a break, that is without yesterdays. Daisy dog has always been truly distressed by thunder, and gunshots, fireworks to name a few.  Anyone who has a pet who is this anxious will understand how worrying this is. With our dog, the reason behind this is she was discovered in a woodland area by two tourists.  She was tied to a tree, no houses around, no tag on collar, or chip.   No one knew how long she had been there, but you can imagine hunters, thunderstorms and anything else.  She was/is still scared of garden canes, fly swats, loud noise, to name but a few.  And she turns into a monster with her food thinking the cats are going to eat it.   We now give Daisy a ‘safe place’ to eat and slowly she is improving.

Last year we had an amazing gardener who was an inspiration.  I will carry on his good work, even though I doubt he will ever see it. Pets sorted out. Well, only two of them.  Grumpy Honey, who is not so grumpy these days, was right as ninepence. ...

 Sounds a bit like Play School back in the 60s up till 1988!   Every day they asked the question to the eager young things sitting hopefully at home….. which window will we look through today children.  ( there were four different shaped windows.) Next came the Teletubbies.  Absolute rubbish, but a big hit for the children who could sing along with their song.  “We are the Tubbies, happy boys and girls “ or some such thing. My goodness,  I feel a much better way for infants to have fun whilst subliminally learning something.   For about the last three weeks we have a surprises every day.  A lot of really lovely ones, and some not so great.  The not so great ones usually hit the bank account one way or another. One such account was my daughter came to Cyprus for a flying visit and stayed in a place in Latchi.  She was here with a friend, but she set a lunch date for just us two to get some mother/daughter time.  Fabulous.
