The 20th & 21st; Tonight I am having only vegetables.
The 20th of July. I had a better sleep last night - I think I was just more settled, and I didn't wake up to pee really early so all in all, better.
I went to Dolly's for lunch and was joined by Mommy and Daddy, mainly because I needed them to help me get the chair inside. I had Nutella-filled French toast and I'm still full about five hours later. Afterwards, Mommy and I bimbled a bit, she bought two brooches and I got coffee from Espressini, then we went to Trago Mills, the weirdest shop in the world. I got quite excited because they had all the Sylvanian families and their houses which was my dream as a child but I refrained from buying any.
Came back and read David and Goliath by Malcolm Gladwell, being fascinated by the chapter on near misses, courage and a bit of leukaemia. It seems I am "brave" because I have escaped things and I've had no choice and nothing to lose. Fear is usually worse than the thing one is afraid of.
Now once again trying to decide where to eat dinner.
The 21st of July.
Today has been 95% good, I would say. The weather has been really nice, so I was able to wear one of my new hats to protect me from the sunshine. I drove the chair to The Meat Counter and parked it outside with the joystick disabled, then sat in the window so I could keep an eye on it. I had a pulled pork bun and a cookies and cream milkshake and it was so good. I watched all the fun tiny dogs outside while I ate and I had a great time. Dogs here are all so thrilled to be alive, I love it. When finished, I wandered up to the Falmouth bookshop where I got The Radleys by Matt Haig and A Slip of the Keyboard by Terry Pratchett.
I came home briefly to use the facilities and do my mouthwash, then I went back out to get a Tropical Twist juice (pineapple, passionfruit, mango, orange and green apple) then I took it to the edge of the the harbour so I could drink it while looking over the water. I'd had about half when I was resting it on the arm of the chair and it slipped and went all over me. That's karma for feeling smug. I called Mommy and we mopped me up as best we could before coming home and chucking everything in the wash.
Tonight I am having only vegetables.
