Now, for those of you who know her that may not seem unusual. She says enough is enough and it\u2019s all going to stop. This, coming from the human who packed to go away taking with her extra scones, clotted cream and jam in case there was nothing there she liked. She also has extra biscuits, beer, wine, chocolate bars\u2026 need I go on. Anyway, she says that after her cooked breakfast tomorrow it\u2019s all going to stop. No cakes, no biscuits, no chocolate, no alcohol, no ice cream. That was the point I told her to steady on. The rest I can live without, but what does she mean \u2018no ice cream\u2019? She knows I love ice cream. I get to lick out the bowl when she has my favourite, which is caramel. I sometimes have to share it with Wilma, but I always get first lick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, I\u2019m going to have to make do with apple and other fruit instead as all the bad things will be off the menu for a while. Now, I\u2019ve heard all this before, so I\u2019m not quite as alarmed as you might think, but she does seem determined and she says that she\u2019s not feeling great for all the over eating, so we\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilma\u2019s more concerned about the no alcohol as she\u2019s never happier than trying to dip her tongue into something she should not have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wonder how long she\u2019s going to last this time. On a good diet decision she\u2019s been known to keep going for months. Recently, all it\u2019s taken is the sight of one appetising cake or a single bad day in the office and normality is restored! On a brighter note she is saying she wants to walk further and that\u2019s always a popular decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find short stories to read at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alfiedog.com\">www.alfiedog.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alfie\u2019s Diary \u2013 the Book as well as our other books are available <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/s\/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=rosemary%20j%20kind\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>I\u2019ve heard from our Mistress and she\u2019s eating too much.
