How another week has gone by so quickly is one of those endless mysteries of life. π€·π½ββοΈ I thought that I would have more time to write or do so-called normal activities even with almost a week in France, but somehow that didn’t quite happen. π€ͺ
We hit the road late on Wednesday last week after I got back from Rome where I had what I thought was my last ankle check up for a while. Instead, I am going in tomorrow for a quick op to get one of the rods taken out, but more on that later in the week. In any case, although we don’t like to drive in the afternoons and evenings, we decided it was better to get to France and wake up with a full day rather than wait and waste a day driving.
Our main mission was to take the pups πΆπΆ and see how they are in the yard as we will be taking them there with us for part of the summer and I’ll be on my own with them there for a few days. That mission was accomplished and Monty was able to show us all the holes where he can escape the fencing – they will be filled and blocked up. Unfortunately, Peanut was just on the mend as she had gotten bit by a viper π in our yard somewhere on the Monday afternoon before we went. Thanks to getting her to the vet, a blood test confirming the bite, and more meds, she is recovering. She still isn’t back to her full self yet, but she’s getting there. So, the upside was that she wasn’t as naughty so we only had to contend with one mischievous dog to complete our mission. π¬
Since it had been a while for M to visit and see our friends there, we made the rounds catching up with them. We also ate some delicious food and even got in a market day. So, it was a good trip even if the drive felt long on the return and the weather turned stormy βοΈ in the afternoons after a misleading morning of warmth and sun βοΈ.
Now, although I have unpacked and we are basically settled back home, we still will be on the move to some extent with tomorrow’s op and visitors coming for a few days. It’s all good though, this is not a complaint – just a reminder to myself that I gotta make schedules work for me as life moves fluidly around. π

Sounds like things are going well. Glad to hear your dog is on the mend. My granddaughter and I are talking about adopting a senior dog . My wonderful little dog Suzie passed away awhile back and the grand kids are trying to talk me into getting another dog. I said I might share a a dog and take care of it while my granddaughter works. We are talking of taking in a foster dog.
Awww, so sorry to hear about Suzie. It’s nice to have the companionship of a dog/pet.
