Hi Gerry, sorry I have not written for a while, I don't know why either. I love and miss you so very much you are in my thoughts, heart and head all the time.
It's almost the end of April now and the weather is getting warmer, the nights are getting longer. We have had a few days of sunshine lately and the solar panels are working wonders. Lock down is beginning to ease and we can now meet up with another family outdoors. I can have my hair done again as it is nearly 6 months since it was last done. I was invited to Steph and Andy's for a bar-b-q on Friday evening. It was very nice. I went to Darren's on Sunday for the evening and had his home made lasagna for dinner. Yesterday I took Di and met up with Carol Bellingham, at Coate Water. We had a nice walk and a chat and had a coffee a plate of cheesy chips with we gave mostly to Di and later had an ice lolly.
Di is looking a lot better now that she has been to the groomers. I had to take her to the vet last week to get another prescription for her painkillers for her legs. I was worried about her as she was smelling of wee and fish. Also she is not eating dog food anymore, only treats. She is not able to squat high enough when she wees now as her legs are so painful. She is losing weight and does not always want to go for a walk. She sleeps most of the time and rarely wants to play now. She is smelling sweet now though and she has been clipped very short under her belly and around her legs, bum and vagina, so that she will not be sitting in her own we when she goes to the toilet.
She still smell a bit though and it seems to be coming more from her mouth and breath. I think she might have a stomach upset causing this, and the lack of appetite. It could also be the medication she is on. I will monitor her regularly. Thank you for helping me to sort her out. Hopefully you can continue to help her so that she stays a while longer. She will be 13 in July.
I am trying to do some spring cleaning a the moment. I must say that i am not at all motivated. I wish you were here to help me sort things out. You wold have got on top of the cupboard sorting easily, but I can't manage it without you.
The garden is looking pretty good now. I have painted all the fence panels. They needed it as they were long overdue. I think we have lost the magnolia tree this year. it was looking sad last year. I have bought some special food to try and perk it up a bit. Hopefully if I keep feeding it throughout the summer and winter it might pick up again. I have just sprinkled on the weed feed and moss killer on the lawn. I did use the electric scarenger last week. I am trying to keep it up to your standard, but it will never be as good as when you looked after it. Darren put your butterfly house on the fence between the house and the bar-b-q. I put in a dish of sugar water for you. I do hope you come again soon, and use the house. It would be nice if you could nest in it. I have seen you a few times this year already. You came on my birthday which was wonderful. I am always delighted when I see you.
I am still hoping to go away with Darren at the beginning of August for a few days. I will have to wait and see how Di is and if it is okay to leave her with Carol for a few days. Hopefully she will not be smelling then, but if she is I will have to stay home and look after her myself.
I do not have much more news at the moment, so I hope you are alright. I hope you are happy and well and having the most wonderful new life if the most beautiful world imaginable. I can't wait to see you and be in your arms again. I am seeing you in my dreams more often again which is wonderful.
Until we meet again and I do hope that you will come to fetch me when it is my time, and hold me, kiss me and whisk me back in your arms to your world, so that we can be lovers again, forever and ever. Please always remember that I always have, and always will, love you forever and always.
All my love forever and always,
Maggie XxX
