2024 - a little bit of politics!

Hello playmates! Yes it's 2024! Here's my review of the state of things as we begin the New Year. 

Well done if you've survived the last three or four years. Not easy, was it? First #Covid19 and lockdown, then the final exit from the EU due to #Brexit, and a much harder Brexit than we expected, due to that idiot #Johnson, a despicably corrupt lying bastard if there ever was one! 

Then that ghastly creature #Truss crashing the Pound. And now the #CostOfLivingCrisis, and we're told UK prices across the board will probably never come down, but if you're working don't worry too much, because wages and salaries are predicted to go up, so you'll be okay, they say! But bollocks to that and to you if your on a state pension or Universal Credit or other benefit, because they're not going up in line with inflation, so you'll be worse off! 

So what's been going on with me? My lovely Border Terrier dog Roxy get so ill with diabetes and other health issues we had to say good bye to her. She died in my arms. We were devastated - she was our first dog, so we'd never experienced the sadness you feel when a beloved animal passes on. 

It took us several months to start to get over Roxy's death. All you can do is eventually consider getting another furpal, and that's what we've done.

I am now Big Mum to Pip, a delightful Havanese puppy who is now five months old. He was born on 1st August 2023 and he came to live with us on 25th October.
