You think you’re camping in the middle of nowhere. Meanwhile the neighbourhood WhatsApp group is talking about who is going to have a word.

Big floof meets little floof. Millie is our newest lodger. We let her keep a pet human too.

It’s very windy today. Bella keeps ringing her doggy doorbell, going out, and coming in again looking very sad. Too windy for a Newfoundland is about 7 on the Beaufort Scale.

This is the week my life changed. This time last week I was the on-call consultant. Now I’m off sick. I don’t know when I’ll be back. I have a very happy dog who is delighted to see more of her human. We’re well enough to go on adventures. I’m totally lost.

Should be easily fixable with some tablets! Quite a few. But all free. And I can even claim some of my petrol costs back. Paid £10 for lunch for two in the hospital cafe though.

AdCal D3, pred 70mg, rivaoxiban and folic acid. This is going to stop my blood eating itself. Day 1 of poly pharmacy. I guess I’m a patient now.

My pet bear is reporting for duty. Though she wonders why she never gets a speaking role in Shakespeare. She’d rather be lady Macbeth. Or Orphellia.

Hosting a junior dr leaving party tonight. Simultaneously worried that no- one will arrive, and that i won’t have enough food. Have persuaded the dog to wear tinsel wings.
