No dog is an island, alone in itself ...

Any dog's suffering diminishes me, because I care for a dog.

And therefore never seek to know for whom the hound roos; she roos for thee.

(Adapted from: "No man is an island", John Donne, 1624)

 

 

April 2026

 

In comparison with last month, April was tranquil!  We got on with the rather more mundane things in our lives and were pleased to do so!  All the time, we watched the price of petrol rise and wonder when it will stop rising.  We’re pleased that most of our travel is by EV.

 

We enjoyed looking after our Grandson during a lovely Sunday lunch (with his parents) and for a couple of days as Hannah went back to school on her “Keep In Touch days” ready for after the half-term break, sometimes here and sometimes in a cafe just round the corner from school.  This was lovely for us and useful for Hannah and the school.  We had our new gas fire fitted – one with a window on the front to stop draughts coming down the chimney.  It seems a lot warmer in the lounge now (even with the fire off) but in fairness it hasn’t been either windy or cold this month – in fact it’s been “unseasonably warm”!  Farmers are, rightly, getting concerned about rainfall.

 

Then there were the usual meetings that we both needed to attend, mostly on Teams and mostly about the Judiciary although some that Ian went to at the school.  Oh, and Ian had a haircut!!
