The past weekend I was looking after my neighbours dog Kimba, for the weekend whilst they went visiting a sick friend.
They had raised a fence panel between our gardens so Kimba could use her toilet on their grass, and could come and go as she pleased. She has a beautiful nature and very friendly, mind you when someone knocked on my door to see if I was alright, as they hadn't seen me for a while Kimba brought the house down, I don't think anyone would chance getting passed her!. 
Originally from Spain, the owners were the daughter who lives there but couldn't have the dog anymore, so she was brought overland here, so is a bit wary of car travel, thinking where will I end up next!.
Settled in nicely.
Best of friends.
We haven't put the fence back and she comes and goes as she pleases, so I don't need a dog now has I'm sharing her!.
My friend Jean is still not well, so it was off to The bridge Café on my own again on Tuesday, after my meal I had a wander round the museum.
And the history of the wooden narra boats.
Looking at them in real life, I doubt if some of them will even be refurbished again, a part from the cost, some look as if they are sinking already. Still I suppose the enthusiasts enjoy pottering about in them.
There are always arts and craft workshops going on downstairs, next to the café and some come in for drinks afterwards with their efforts.
Me in the café on my own Aah, can't fall out with yourself can you?.
Back home.
When I first moved into this house 56 years ago there were beautiful leaded windows in the hall, but after a druggy tried to break in I took them out and put in wired reinforced glass, but always missed the colours in the hall.
We've had UPVC windows and doors put in years ago as did everyone else, so looks like this now!.
Then saw on my favourite "Amazon", some film you can use to get the same effect.
Comes in various sizes dispending on price of course!.
Think the amount I bought to do this job was about £15.99 so cheap at that, to get this effect I think.
Worse part, up and down the ladders at my age, but my enthusiasm carried me on!.
Next day it was on with some more on the side panels.
Then this morning before lunch fitted the centre panel which was the hardest due to the shape, but again it went on alright!.
So except the up and down on the ladders, it all went well and quite easy, remember, measure twice or three times if your not sure and cut once!.
I always think of Nelson Mandela's saying
"It always seems impossible until it's done"
So a good week with jobs done and a dogs company!
