| Good little kitty |
| I had a lovely morning driving to ryde to see the nurse at island vets to get flossy's claws clipped. I had tried twice before to get her in the cat carrier to take her to the vets but somehow she would run off and hide behind the settee and avoid getting caught at all costs. I had to turn cancel the 2 appointment. Well I put the cat carrier out in the hallway and left the carrier door open for the last 2 days. She would go in and come straight back out think it was curiosity. This morning I put the cat carrier out as usual and she walked in it and sat down and made herself comfortable. I rung the vets to see when they could fit me in and they had appointment for 10 15. So it was close the door on the carrier and get her to the vets. She meowed sll the way there are back. She has now had her claws cut short hopefully they won't be sharp. |

| New furniture |
I am really looking forward to having my new furniture delivered on Friday 12th July. It is my second lot of furniture from dfs, I originally ordered my current corner suite and cuddle chair from dfs 10 years ago but it's showing quite a bit of wear with the leather cracking. I was really happy with the service from them hopefully I shall be happy with the service this time around. So far so good.
I don't think flossy will be very happy as she like to hide behind the settee as it is a curved corner suite and give her a good opportunity to run and hide behind it when she knows she is going to the vets and know I can't grab her without moving the suite out. This time I have bought a 2 seater settee and an armchair hopefully I should be able to catch her. |

If you are thinking of voting do go and vote. Hopefully you will be pleased with the outcome of the election |

| Lovely weekend |
| It has been a lovely weekend nice and warm but it is a bit overcast at the moment. My cat is all chilled out today has had her fuss today and now has decided to curl up and go to sleep. She will soon get up when she wants her treats and meow at me until I give her her favourite dreamies. Not sure what's in dreamies but cats go mad for them. With the weather being so hot she hasn't really been eating her dinner it's a good job she only eats dried food otherwise I would have to be throwing out her cat food if it was wet food. |

| Roadworks and road closures |
| I went to ventnor today put the destination in my satnav got there ok via Godshill niton and Whitwell so thought that's not too bad with a few roadworks and road closures I did do well. Coming g back wasza different story it took me via black gang and I somehow turned off on one of the road which was a dead end. So before turning round I put yarmouth in the location and it took me via the military road.wasnt too sure of the route but once I got to afton road I knew where I was. Real good fun |

| Isle of wight festival |
| It's nearly finished. Everyone will be going home tommorrow some may even go home today. The roads will be a nightmare tommorrow with everyone trying to leave. I went past the festival site yesterday and it was very very busy. The traffic wasn't too bad just don't like the diversions they confuse me. I will try and avoid newport tommorrow until 3pm. |

| Lovely day today |
It's another lovely day on the isle of wight with the isle of wight festival in full swing. I went into Newport on Wednesday and on the way back I was stuck in traffic . I left newport high street at 11 50am and got home in yarmouth at 1 15pm. Yesterday my fuel light came on in the car with the message low fuel but I was nearly home from tescos so decided I would go out the next day to get fuel. I managed to go to freshwater garage today and filled up the tank. It is a bit pricey but what you save going into Newport you probably use that in fuel getting there and the staff at the garage are really friendly and welcoming.
I am having the rest of the day in chilling and trying to cool myself down. I will avoid going to Newport until after the festival. |

| Kitty not wanting to go to the vet |
| Well I tried to put my cat flossy in her posh orange and black rac pet carrier as she had an appointment to see the nurse at the vets in ryde for her claws to be trimmed. The poor thing wasn't having any of it she decided yo run and hide behind the settee making it harder for me to catch her. It was an afternoon appointment so I had yo cancel that one and have booked an early morning one for next Thursday, I am hoping I will be able to put her in the carrier easily as she is usually not so fast first thing. She meows all the way to the vets once they have done what needs doing she goes in the carrier without a fuss to come home and meows all the way home in the car. Surely my driving isn't that bad. I will never understand what goes through the mind of a cat. |

| Lovely day again |
| It looks like another lovely day again today even the nights are too warm. Hope the weather stays warm. I am off to birmingham on Tuesday 11th june 2024 to get my car sorted out as there is no ds dealership on the isle of wight and they are the only ones who can diagnose it. Hopefully it will be fixed and I won't have to return for another visit if they don't have the parts. I shall be on the 6 30am ferry and returning on the 10pm ferry. It will be nice to see Birmingham again as it has been 5 years since I last went to birmingham. Will get some shopping and a meal whilst I am waiting for my car to be sorted. I have been told I should get the car back by 5pm. |

| June already |
| It is 1st June today and time has flown by, its only 207 days before Christmas. Do you have any plans for Christmas yet I know its a long way away but it will soon be here. This year I intend to go mad with decorations like I used to a few years ago. Though Christmas is really for kids the magic goes out of Christmas once the kids stop believing in santa. Maybe santa will bring me something this year as I have been a very good girl. |

| Cam belt all changed |
I got my car back today after a change of cambelt. I did enjoy driving the loan car which was a citroen c5 aircross hybrid. It was so quiet have never driven a hybrid. Been a quiet day today decided yo do some online grocery shopping from Iceland and had it delivered at 3 30pm today. Shopping for one is so hard as never know what to get
Been catching up watching last of the summer wine on drama channel, it really is funny especially the ladies on their coffee morning,they never have a good word to say about their husbands and men. |

| Car in for cambelt |
| I booked my car in for a cambelt change on Friday and it is booked in for today at citroen dealership. Though the cambelt isn't really due until June 2025 I would like to keep on top of things and get it changed. I have a loan car at the moment and I have been given a citroen c5 aircross hybrid. It is a really lovely car and a pleasure to drive. Then again I have always loved the citroen range, when I do change my car again I will definantly be looking at the citroen c5 aircross. Wonder if they will swap it with my ds3, I can only dream can't I. I should get my car back tommorrow. |
