Tuesday 30 December

Today was a really hot summers day so it was great to get to Rabbit Island for a walk and a swim. Melanie and Bridget had a swim and Gus was in the water having a great time getting the sticks. Gus was really funny as he nearly missed the ride home as he was so pre-occupied with digging a giant hole for the sitck. We we finally got him home he needed another rinse to get all the sand off his coat. Nina had good fun on the walk too and has spent most of the day sleeping in the shade. Nina is having a good cuddle on my knee now as I type and almost sliding off my knee every now and then. Nina has enjoyed the Christmas fare ... we are thinking that we may have to restrict her intake as she is a little more rotund than usual ...

Granny has been moved to the rehab ward this morning. She is still not really eating normally we are not sure if it is the medication she is on which is affecting her appetite or that the food is unappetising. Although she did ask for a ham sandwich tomorrow so that is a good sign. The rehab ward is quite different - she has to get up and get dressed each day and go to the dining room for meals. We are not sure how long she will be there - depends on her progress we guess. Mum thought that she was a good colour and perhaps not as tired as before but it is very small change really so quite hard to tell her progress.

We went for dinner up at the section tonight - took takeaways up which was just magical. It was a stunning night tonight and we stayed until the sun set.
