Nothing can replace my Milo...

I've been in Portugal one week now and it's rained nearly everyday. It's like we've swopped climates with the U.K. Not that I'm complaining, our heatwave is on its way and promises to be a long one. With that information Ali and I took ourselves to Caldas market on the hunt for some summer outfits.  I was rather pleased with my purchase of a one euro linen dress. Yes! 'One' euro. And Ali bagged some bargains too.

I've noticed, whilst on my morning run, that a gentleman has been checking me out. Hmm... He's a bit odd looking; purple shades, handlebar moustache, multicoloured sweat headband and about two foot tall. I've managed to ignore him most mornings but he's always there, same place, same time. I think I might have to change the route on my Wii Fit Haha! I need to do this workout as I don't have Milo taking me on those early morning walks now. I miss him like crazy. I miss hugging him, stroking him, curling up on the couch with him, but mainly I just miss him not being by my side. He has always been by my side, just 'there', with me wherever I was. It hurts. I try to console myself with Ali's dogs Max and Mindy. But they're just not Milo.

Mr Hunky came to visit today, although more a Mr Chunky having given up smoking since I last saw him. He was looking as handsome as ever and still gives the best hello hugs a girl could want. Not quite a Milo hug as nothing could replace that...

Miss the most...

'Out' jogging...

Reckon green and black is my favourite...

Cute but not Milo... 

Milo, Me and the Beast - is it just Me?...

When it rains it pours. Leaving Milo is possibly the hardest thing I've ever had to do, I swear it's worse than breaking up with a boyfriend haha. But at least I know it's temporary. But worse was to crush me this week. My Beast is poorly. Too poorly for me to fix. If he is to achieve another MOT he will need some serious tlc. I don't have the funds or the know how to do this. Why can't I have a man in my life who likes to tinker with motors, or a welder to be precise! My Beast apparently requires two new panels and some under welding. All quite achievable, but not by me. So with a heavy heart I have decided to sell him. If there is anybody out there who could possibly love him as much as me I am open to serious offers. This chariot has carried Milo and Me on our whole adventure and truly deserves a good home :)

Jeez! At this rate my next book will be titled 'Me...' But ever the optimist I believe there is a reason for everything. Milo, in dog years, has been on an adventure for 21 years! He needs a rest. The Beast has put up with a dumb blonde for long enough and possibly needs a man in his life! Me? I just need to figure that one out! I'm still loving my life and believing in myself, I'm still happy to grab any opportunity presented to me and live one day at a time. I leave for Portugal on Wednesday, to live out my next chapter. So, at the moment I intend to just keep looking forward...
