There’s a lovely Broom Skipper thats just come up on NYA (no its not ours!)

I had my fourth booster on Monday, this time Moderna so Ive now had two Astra Zeneca, and a Pfizer plus the Moderna so the full cocktail . Reacted to all of them after 12 hours having the jab and felt pretty rough for 24 hours. Paracetamol did wonders. My 89 year old parents haven’t reacted to any of their jabs (all Pfizer) and they had the flu jab at the same time. They be made of sterner stuff than me!

Desmond has a double duvet and a huge fleece blanket which he digs to make a nest plus his beloved toy rabbit. I cover the cage with a sheet to make it cosy and dark but not over the door . The routine is he gets into bed then gets his late night bonio to eat in bed.

Im not sure Helen will want Seren and Pozzick pups? There really wont be room in the car and boat! I was advised that there was a risk of cancer in the future and as Desmond was not going to be a daddy again, plus him being around my brother’s female whippet who is his aunt we took the decision to ‘have him done’. He’s also stopped marking in other people’s houses which was incredibly embarrassing!

When my kids were younger they always wanted more crumble topping. My son said the ratio of apple and crumble was crucial. I said how much do you want then and he said at least a foot of crumble and that the fruit should just be a token gesture

It also could be hes putting down his scent. Desmond did this for a couple of days. Has he been castrated?

I feel he’s now the NBN mascot

We need regular pupdates 😁

I remember the first two sleepless nights after getting Desmond. He cried for hours on an off downstairs in his crate (Desmond’s Den) The breeder said we mustn’t give in but we undid all the work by going on the boat a few weeks later where he sleeps in the same cabin as me so when we got back home it was the same howling and the pitiful woo woo sounds. We have come to a compromise and he sleeps in his crate in the room opposite to us upstairs and he’s as good as gold.

Exactly what I was wondering 🤔

I’ve always understood its pronounced Pozzick.

He’s passed the first few tests. He’s happy on boats, also he and Seren got on fine. Are you getting him a kayak? 😁

That’s fantastic news Helen. He will have a brilliant life with you all. So happy for Pozzick (love the name!) I did wonder if we would have a naming competition if you got him!

That’s a shame Carole. It’s turned into a lovely day today. I suspect tonight’s temp will plummet though

It’s been quite the day for all types of weather! We will look out for you as we may pass your way tomorrow. Currently at Acle but probably going to Potter tomorrow.

Didn’t Delia bring out a book on how to boil water or something? Think that’s more my level!

Cruised down the Ant this morning and sad to see so many large dead fish from Irstead to Ludham. Lots of foam around Irstead area, which having read on Vaughan’s memories of Thorpe and the Broads thread, assume the foam is to do with the brackish water?

I’m tempted to see if my parents would enjoy a similar holiday reading your tale. There’s no way they can manage getting on and off a boat anymore and hadn’t thought about a riverside holiday until now.

It will seem odd not seeing the tomato plants! Any winter plants planned for the welldeck?

Think even Danni would struggle to steal this bear Ray

Warm welcome to the forum :)

I must say i was a bit frustrated with the state of the paths at Fleet Dyke and in particular at Womack Dyke going towards Potter (a favourite walk). It was too hot to wear jeans to protect my legs from spikey and bitey things and Desmond is at grass height level and got fed up pushing his way through. I certainly don’t remember it being like this in other years.

Im curious to know how many visits to the site occur. I’m always looking up boats, especially the woodies. I only discovered from the sitethe other day our boat used to be called Wren 2 and has changed registration number. Id like to change her back to her original number. Im assuming it changed it went to the Ouse for a while.

That’s fantastic news Dave.

Wishing you a speedy recovery Helen.
