    Thank you jwil. The theatre was really good. I dont know where the tour of My Fair Lady goes next assuming we arent the final date I would thoroughly reccomend it. It is a long show at 3 hours (including the interval)  but well worth it. Today I have booked for Annie in November with Paul O'Grady who I have great respect for. Effectively by featuring Miss W on For The Love Of Dogs he saved her life as she was beginning to be regarded aas unadoptable. She wasnt to us and was the most loving dog just very very scared of the world. I alwways laugh when poeple say their dog is very nervous as I have never met one like her who I spent 13 months walking round the green outside the house because she wouldnt walk on a lead. Ladders terrified her even to the day she died, she wouldnt go to the vet (I had a very understanding vet who came to her) and so it went on but she was so loving and I really miss her big head next to me on the sofa. 

    Bear had a miserable couple of days when I was at the theatre and then yesterday at my bil. The trains were annoying and I was late getting home but it could have been worse. To complete it he was sick tonight and is looking a bit miserable. I dont think it is anything serious but possibly the result of stress from the last couple of days.

    We have had a very quiet golden wedding anniversary today as I am still shattered from the outings. I would normally leave days between them but it just didnt work this week. The fence paint I ordered arrived today so as soon as it is warm enough I will start doing the fence, then we can move the storage box so Bear cant escape to next doors garden where there are rabbits.

    No spending today and only my train fare and fish and chips yesterday. Steak and all the trimmings tonight with a bottle of Cava. Mr LHs favourite.
    Off to watch the first episode of the Death in Paradise spin off. Have a quiet night.

    Happy Anniversary 💐 

    I have a lot of respect for Paul O’Grady too. He loves his dogs. It used to be quite funny trying to guess if he’d be adding another to his collection on for the love of dogs 😆

  • Happy Anniversary. 50 years is fantastic. Hope you enjoyed your Cava.

    We want to watch the spin off from Death in Paradise but not sure why they are basing it in Devon when it is actually filmed in Looe, Cornwall which is near to us.

    Having watched it it seems to have been filmed in several different locations. Mr LH said he recognised some of them. We used to live in the Torbay / Totnes  area. Wherever it was filmed we diid enjoy it. Hopefully subsequent episodes will be as enjoyable.
    Yes we did enjoy the Cav. I did think of getting Champagne as it was a special anniversary but seemed a bit pointless as we like Cava just as much.
