I feel quite tired today, Luna jumped on the bed at 6am so a very short night as I did not get to bed till around 3am. I did get back to sleep for a bit but not long as Luna wanted to go out for a wee. No Pilates today as the dentist said take it easy after my tooth out. The headache is still there as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>2nd</p><p>Nice walk on the common with Luna but very windy, at least it will dry the washing. Today we are taking Luna to the vets as she has a few problems I want them to check out. Her back leg goes into spasms at times. She is very itchy as well, also she has extra teeth top and bottom that should have fallen out but did not. Suggestions were made about her food for her itchiness. They checked her leg nothing was found, and her teeth did not worry the vet. We came away with a bill around £40.00, and four tablets PIRITON, for her itching at half a tablet a day. </p><p><br /></p><p>3rd</p><p>Put some more stuffing in Luna's basket cushion as a bit thin feels very soft now for her to snuggle in. Two of the tops I got last month are a bit tight for me so going to swop them over in town later. Andrew and I took Luna for another walk on the common. Still very windy and quite cold too, it did not affect Luna though as she loves the common. </p><p>My mouth is quite painful today where my tooth was pulled out. The roof of my mouth is sore where probably where the instruments pressed . I put on some ANBESOL that helped a bit but stung for a while. The cold wind on the common did not help though.</p><p><br /></p><p>4th</p><p>Quite a mild day 13C at 7.30am still windy. Changing the beds to wash tomorrow as going to be windy as well. I am making a toad in the hole for tea in a new non stick pan. Hopefully it will not stick. Mouth still quite sore but improving a bit. Toad in the hole was lovely and no it did not stick.</p><p><br /></p><p>5th</p><p>Cleaning up downstairs took most of the day. A bit of knitting later, Poppy's cardigan in poppy red. I love knitting in red, and the wool is so nice to use. My jaw aches today but the roof of my mouth is not as sore. Angela came round in the afternoon, coming back tomorrow as she needs Paul's help with some paperwork. She is doing well otherwise. </p><p><br /></p><p>7th</p><p>An easy day for me as bean busy lately extra walks and in town a few times. A bit of knitting as Sheila would say a youtuber I follow. I think it will snow soon, and the weather actually agrees with me this time.</p><p><br /></p><p>8th</p><p>Happy Birthday to my friend John and Paul's Mum. And guess what it's snowing fast and thick flakes too. I do not think it will settle much as ground is wet. No Pilates today either because of the snow. (I go on my bike) I have not bean out with Luna yet but it will not hurt her to miss a day. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihpQjdGSSU_m8g7u0q494IW7Jk7NFkbFAIlo8ej3dYKS0nOwqVCtJtwvDlLTBnBoBVLSIhxHiixFSvdLyYK_dOY3Zc85fRiI2jqHx71_IMFZOhxoG3H_4kPuIAzxyu3IlxVzga9Ur756OrXrUyqjZC3sevOt4r5lcU9GdG8Xy6j5d53jlznThItrd1MaI/s3264/2024-02-08%20004.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

This took me most of the day but it was fun with her running around.</p><p><br /></p><p>9th</p><p>Easy day today as cleaning yesterday made me have extra pain. I did do the ironing not to much though. So a bit more knitting, poppy's cardigan is done I just need to put the buttons on. I have started back doing the baby blanket for Heather Poppy's new baby sister. Got quite a bit of the blanket done. Though it's dragging now and I would like it finished. Pictures when all done.</p><p><br /></p><p>10th</p><p>Fog to start the day, misty and sunny later. I have bean awake since 5am. I forgot to take my tablets and went into MORPHINE withdrawal. Pain, hot/cold sweating, bad head, itching, very anxious too. As soon as I take my tablets the effects start to wear off, the pain lasted a while. I thought I had taken them at 10pm as usual, my tiredness is to blame I think. CHRONIC FATIGUE is not the same as just being tired, you are literally exhausted and I am in pain too. This can last days in some form or other.</p><p>The geese that had chicks last year are back hopefully to have more chicks. After the snow I think it's going to be wet on the common. The common never really dried out in the Summer, so it is wet to start with going into the Winter. </p><p><br /></p><p>11th</p><p>Common was so wet as the snow mostly melted and then rain followed. Someone climbed up the big crane ladder at the back of us this afternoon. It's very high up, must have bean brave and not frightened of heights. I would climb up but only with a safety harness.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU7cpyEb09t0_9E9AxEErnVFaGiGb-z2RSa_M6jb4sl7HdRTYRubjdfvmLilvjOeNYPagxFatT5U0xggmMtv52JYnPq73dABxuE9lUE3oXNUgke50V6OZsMw4znsCaMkdlrDhcyCAkTzhe_BqkWUBlWEgkATNJwqgH2o6l7iG6JIPxxsqrYChYAJTt0vk/s2048/e8JE-Ykc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1560" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU7cpyEb09t0_9E9AxEErnVFaGiGb-z2RSa_M6jb4sl7HdRTYRubjdfvmLilvjOeNYPagxFatT5U0xggmMtv52JYnPq73dABxuE9lUE3oXNUgke50V6OZsMw4znsCaMkdlrDhcyCAkTzhe_BqkWUBlWEgkATNJwqgH2o6l7iG6JIPxxsqrYChYAJTt0vk/s320/e8JE-Ykc.jpg" width="244" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p>12th</p><p>Cleaning up down stairs. Two lots of washing out as it's very windy. My friend Lyn is here later with a Birthday gift for me. I have not finished cleaning, but it can be done later, just the floors to wash. Lyn and her husband Mo are both well. Lyn did bring me a card and present. Good to see her and catch up.</p><p><br /></p><p>13th</p><p>Happy Birthday to me 69. It's also Paul's Dad birthday. Some days I feel my age, others I feel a lot younger. Before RSD, I looked a lot younger than I was. The RSD has aged me a lot. Even so I do not think I look too bad. A man I know on the common asked me how old I was. I said guess- be kind I said, he said 45 I said not that kind. He guessed again and said 63. Ok I said, and I told him how old I was, he said I looked good. Common air I said, and lots of walks. </p><p>My friend Jenny came to see me with a present of chocs and money in my card. She had bean out for dinner at Scothern Nursery and enjoyed it very much. Scothern that is where my Brother and family live about a mile from the nursery. A lot of my garden plants have come from there as presents. My Brother came to see me as well today with some lovely primulas for the garden. Paul cooked tea of steak plus all the bits. Very nice it was too makes a change to have my tea cooked for me. I got some lovely presents plus £60 in money. A good day I will hopefully get the plants in the garden tomorrow. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvWPYlXeJa5xgYcO-ikWV5adD4X04LetLCZZSlsGC43al_bXYProK_FJmQ9Kl08A4NJfD03TYOoMGjcaQoB3DtjhzFkTt6LzfbyTRv5D8sz_NULGZt1f9c7fv_O8Mjcy0pkBekQ5kcFrpf3BVF82kkrI7S_AMXYsXGC7-oVsc7tuo_lQazxLH0aezz4qs/s3264/2024-02-15%20003.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

She loves jumping over the puddles and chasing the birds too.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJbIeXmpYRI53xFtbRz_JA8-Oxz3lVyNnedtM2bm0YYKRupCu46ZIdQtMfcf-untjUCyF49dk_qt5IaDDPXHtAZq65J_T0Cr1KVZH5S0m1cg0tq9NifsRnPvhVr5hKuNIhw5wUKTtuiOqgPfT7JTbE9QQXG0vrCmyce83HJ7EY3ODYKcXHaaCDSdodkVA/s2048/R3Gerltn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1560" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJbIeXmpYRI53xFtbRz_JA8-Oxz3lVyNnedtM2bm0YYKRupCu46ZIdQtMfcf-untjUCyF49dk_qt5IaDDPXHtAZq65J_T0Cr1KVZH5S0m1cg0tq9NifsRnPvhVr5hKuNIhw5wUKTtuiOqgPfT7JTbE9QQXG0vrCmyce83HJ7EY3ODYKcXHaaCDSdodkVA/s320/R3Gerltn.jpg" width="244" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Luna's paw print in the mud.</div><br /><br /><p></p><p>Lindsay and Jamie-Lee came with a card and present of some Dahlia tubers for my garden, but it too wet to plant them yet. I love Dahlia and they are pom pom ones that last ages. The Nursery where I used to work from 15-20 years of age grew them in the hundreds they looked so lovely all colours.</p><p><br /></p><p>15th</p><p>I did get to Pilates today on my bike it was a lovely ride as quite mild and not windy like it has bean. I really enjoyed my bike ride. A good session, quite a gentle one this week. I was pleased as it's bean four weeks since I last went, 11th January. Took Jo a card as her Birthday next week she wished me belated Happy Birthday. There is no Pilates next week. Back home and after kisses and cuddles from Luna a bit more knitting,</p><p>I will get this blanket finished. Quite tired later but a walk, a car ride, (to pick up a free chair) and a ten mile round trip bike ride. I know my bike is electric and pedal assisted but I still do pedal most the time, it's just a lot easier. You need it going up Canwick hill, as it a tough one. I have ran up and down it many times.</p><p><br /></p><p>16th</p><p>I have finished off the blanket at last I am so pleased, this has taken longer than the last baby blanket I did for Willow. I have started the cardigan for Heather this will not take long as only 3-6 months size.</p><p><br /></p><p>17th</p><p>Cleaned up downstairs apart from the front room as Paul was in there. I did put the primulas in the garden they look very pretty. Rained later so that would have bean good for them. Did not take a picture as all over the garden.</p><p>18th</p><p>Cleaned up front room as Paul was not in for a while. Bit more knitting, cooked tea, Luna had two walks one with Andrew. She was very pleased and has so much energy even after running around.</p><p><br /></p><p>20th</p><p>A sunny day to day but windy as well. Nice walk on the common with Luna. Another one later with Andrew. When we got back Luna did not seem right she kept pacing back and forward and a bit wobbly on her feet. A bit worrying as this is how she went before when she was ill. I think she was over tired as after a good long sleep she was a lot better. After Summer and Luna's scare I soon get worried about her. Her hip and leg has not bean going into spasm much. She has bean having CBD oil and I am sure this has helped her. Also I have bean giving licorice root tincture, as this has good effects from itching according to Doctor Jones a retired vet I follow online. I am willing to give this a good try, as it's natural not like the tablets I got from the vet. </p><p><br /></p><p>21st</p><p>Rain and lots of it the common was a mud bath but there is not really anywhere else nearby I can take her and let her off the lead safely. An older dog would probably be quite happy, just to have a walk on their lead, not Luna as she needs a good run around to get rid of her puppy energy. I gave her a little bit of the licorice root she licked it off my finger and seemed to like it. We will soon see if it helps her itching. Later she did not seem to itch as much or may be that's just me hoping it works. Time will tell. Cheaper than a vet if it helps her; £16 for a 30ml bottle that will last ages. She only has a tiny bit a day. </p><p>Later Andrew and I took Luna out on the common again. She saw a pheasant and ran after it, trouble was, it went one way and she went the other. I think it's because she chased it yesterday, and it went towards the lake. This time it went the other way just strolling along. This was so funny as Luna could not understand where it had gone. Bean giving Luna the licorice root, she did not seem as itchy at bedtime and settled down straight away. Usually she has a bit of a tidy up be for bed. Still a bit too soon to tell if it working.</p><p><br /></p><p>22nd</p><p>Cold wet day. Luna did not go out till the afternoon. No Pilates today either so I was pleased about that, not having to go along country roads I go on as the rain was beating down and the wind at times was strong. Andrew came for a walk with us today, not on the common but along a cycle track next to the river bank. She was off her lead but we had to keep a look out for bikes. At least she had a walk and seemed tired out. </p><p><br /></p><p>24th</p><p>Indian for tea it was not nice and that's being polite. Paul wanted to try a new one that had just opened bad mistake. He ate his mine was ok but I did not finish it Andrew ate some of his and threw away most of it. It was dripping in grease, the courgette dish he ordered and the potato one was the worst. Even the poppadoms were soggy. Not good as its quite costly Paul left a review but did not contact the restaurant to complain. My stomach later was not happy. </p><p><br /></p><p>25th</p><p>Stomach not good very bloated and sore. The common is very sticky and you have to be careful to not slip. Andrew and I had a walk later with Luna. Paul has asked me to knit a cardigan for a friend of his whose Daughter has just had a baby girl. This one I am doing is a favorite one of mine. I first made it for Jamie-Lee when she was born but a lot smaller as she was so little. </p><p><br /></p><p>26th</p><p>Bean sorting out my clothes for giving to the Charity Shop got a few bits for them. Still more to go through another day. Luna was looking for the pheasant but did not see it. I think with it bean windy yesterday it got blown around around a bit and was resting be for flying off. There are many pheasants on the common. The geese are still there as well so hopefully they will have chicks like last year. </p><p><br /></p><p>27th</p><p>I weighed Luna she has put on weight, first time in two months. She now weighs 5.1kg from 4.8kg. Not a lot but it's a start she is not going to be a big dog, smaller than my little Summer. Luna is not a big eater and when food is put out for her she often just ignores it. </p><p><br /></p><p>28th</p><p>Very cold wind today pleased to get back from the common, in fact I think we both were. Luna has her coat on but the wind was cruel. Bit more of the baby knitting lot done now. Pictures later. </p><p>My hip and back are quite sore today and I have taken extra tablets for it. Hopefully Pilates will help tomorrow. </p><p><br /></p><p>29th</p><p>Pilates looking forward to it as none last week, Paul took me in the car and picked me up. Good session quite a tough one. Not on again next week, so I think Jo gave us a harder one this week. I enjoyed it but a few said it was a bit too hard for them. Now jut rest for me today apart from tea cooking. Andrew and I watched a few video's online that we both like, "Sorted Food". A nice relaxing afternoon with Luna mostly sat on my knee. </p><p>Well February gone very quick too I thought. Busy knitting a lot of the time, cleaning and cooking the rest - and of course looking after Luna. Fairly good pain wise but with RSD the pain never leaves you. </p><p>All the very best to everyone love Gill. </p><p><br /></p></div>Gill Pyrahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16554599037210034283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1255014379495295812.post-82202110321548574502024-01-31T10:21:00.001+00:002024-02-06T19:27:33.454+00:00January<p>January 2nd</p><p>Sorting out my Christmas presents and putting them away. A bit of knitting, gloves this time. Rest day as well as Christmas is quite tiring, even though there was no extra family here on Christmas day.</p><p><br /></p><p>3rd</p><p>Lindsay my Daughter here for a while. She has bean shopping for Birthday presents for Kira, my Grandsons girlfriend, whose Birthday is tomorrow. We got her some scented candles. Lindsay left her shopping here while she went and got Jamie-Lee from school. While she was away Andrew and I went to Hobby craft to get a few supplies. When we got back Lindsay and Jamie-Lee were here. Jamie Lee was not in the best mood either. She often is not and not even a teenager yet only eleven. If her Birthday had bean a few days earlier she would have bean at secondary school now, but will go next year's instead. I do not think she would have coped this time. Emmie who I used to look after, went last September and is doing well. She is only three months older than Jamie-Lee. A different girl all together than her. Hopefully this year Jamie-Lee will grow up a bit and will be ready for secondary school next year.</p><p><br /></p><p>4th</p><p>Not too cold this morning. Paul took down the decorations and I helped him to box them up and put away till next year. Some we have got rid off to the charity shop and some for the bin. Cleaned up later to get rid of any bits from the decorations.</p><p><br /></p><p>6th</p><p>A sunny day after the rain we have had for the last few days. River is very high., and along the Sincil bank drain/river they are pumping some out to lower the level as overflowed. The common is the worst I have ever seen it. The water has nowhere to go so just runs down to a level and forms yet another pond. I walked round with my friend Debbie and one of her dogs Kipling, she has three dogs. Debbie has bean quite ill I knew I had not seen her for a while. She works, so can be on the common at different times. We were walking along and Debbie fell over in all the mud. She was not hurt, but probably feel a few bruises tomorrow.</p><p>Today is one year since my little Summer passed away. I miss her very much and still cry for her. She was not just a dog, but a friend as well. Understanding everything I was going through and just was a lovely little dog. For those who do not know she was poisoned by Antifreeze.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiGKQKuLpHdKd6BYgzcmqCPKPii1b92Je6Dx8Su5eoWDhtaXByd-YxHg06ZRq2PhArcEmlHUCdozeFgJWJzMk_wxsA8GQOdSgva2TNQUK2plyWs-gEfBVkYNIhwyQ137xjkYtADOU17A1BbEyi8XLTpvhtaend5LcTQGk_9Z-X8APeQRMgDkEWlpYtzV4/s3264/2022-03-16%20002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiGKQKuLpHdKd6BYgzcmqCPKPii1b92Je6Dx8Su5eoWDhtaXByd-YxHg06ZRq2PhArcEmlHUCdozeFgJWJzMk_wxsA8GQOdSgva2TNQUK2plyWs-gEfBVkYNIhwyQ137xjkYtADOU17A1BbEyi8XLTpvhtaend5LcTQGk_9Z-X8APeQRMgDkEWlpYtzV4/s320/2022-03-16%20002.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">We miss you.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p>I had a phone call from a friend, a call you never want to hear. Her Daughter had taken a lethal overdose. I have know them for around forty years, Lucy had not even bean born when I met her Mum. Lucy was such a sweet pretty girl, very sad.</p><p>Along with a few other things, the start of this new year has not bean good. Later Luna sat on my knee and looked at me with total love in her eyes as is to say I know how you feel Mum. I think she did as well, dogs can sense when you feel bad, better than some people can.</p><p><br /></p><p>7th</p><p>On the common we met another Debbie with her dog Purdy, a black gentle Labrador. She said Mary with Rory had not bean on for a while as Rory had a sore hip so she was keeping him rested. The common is a big place and sometimes people you know are on another part of the common, or just a different time of the day. So it's a few days be for I ring them. Paul prepared a stew for tea in the slow cooker. I cleaned up down stairs again. I have knitted the gloves for Stefan and now started on his hat. I got a new chair cover for my recliner and put it on. I think it looks a lot better. The chair is getting worn but is so comfortable no way am I getting rid of it. </p><p>8th</p><p>Frost today and quite cold as well wind from the north. Luna and I had a good if not muddy walk on the common. Did not see anyone. Doing odd bits today, also this Blog as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>9th</p><p>Went with Andrew to a few shops out of town to get more supplies for his business. Luna came for a walk as well. I had to wait outside the shops with her but I did not mind neither did she. Every one we saw her made a fuss of her. Andrew got some of the things he wanted so it was worth the walk. Luna had a good sleep when we got back. This was her second walk today. She still had plenty of go in her as well. She is either full on mode, or asleep, there does not seem to be a in-between. </p><p>Andrew had an eye test today as he has bean having problems with his left eye. The optician is referring him to a private clinic to be seen quicker, any thing will quicker than the national health wait. My friend Jenny said if you can not get an appointment and she has to wait ages for a phone one, who are the Doctors seeing to treat. Our Doctors have loads of patients listed, too many for what Doctors are there.</p><p><br /></p><p>11th</p><p>Pilates today on my bike, cold but not too bad till I hit the country roads. I take Luna early on the common around eight. This way I can spend time with her before I go. The Pilates session went well. Colder coming home and very windy as well, started to rain I say rain - it felt more like ice. </p><p>Another walk later with Andrew as he said he needed a walk. Luna had a good time running around and chasing every thing she saw. Today walking and biking I have done around a half marathon (13 miles).</p><p><br /></p><p>12th</p><p>Nice walk with Luna cold but a bit warmer than the last few days. Later I went into town to change the slippers I got for Christmas as a bit tight. I gave Stefan his hat and gloves he liked them very much. His Nan used to knit things for him but not now, she has hand problems. I was pleased he liked them.</p><p><br /></p><p>13th</p><p>Found out today that our Chinese take away is shutting for good. He has bean there for over twenty years. We had to console Paul. The Chinese was good food, and cheaper than anywhere else. One good thing with it being close and picking it up it was always very hot and no waiting for the delivery to arrive either. Did a bit more knitting of the baby blanket I am making for Heather. </p><p><br /></p><p>14th</p><p>A nice sunny day windy too. Got the beds changed. Nice walk with Luna, we went a different way big mistake, it was like a lake running down the common and mud up to Lunas belly. We will not be going that way for a while. The common is very wet and has a lot of drying out to do. A big lab Labrador dog came running up to us with an even bigger stick. I thought he was going to knock Luna or me over. As he got closer he dropped the stick and had some fuss, and then went back to his owners. They apologised for him, I said no need. </p><p><br /></p><p>15th</p><p>A frosty start -2c cold wind as well. Nice on the common I was not cold apart from my hands. I said to Paul and Andy, from across the road that it would snow NO both said, not here. I said we will see, I think it's going to snow. Cleaning up stairs today got our room and spare one done. Paul was in the computer room and it was getting late, I had tea to do so that will done tomorrow. Vacuumed over down stairs too.</p><p><br /></p><p>16th</p><p>Guess what snow but not much, however it did snow like I said, listen to a country girl not the weather man. Very cold wind like icicles. All the snow had gone by the afternoon. Finished off the cleaning upstairs all done now. Not stop tidy long though. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOGV3zC1ffIpLd1lvnwHdYOWvDRd0Z7rL-v8ptwM8_S-URZJb9UYotAIT8EOOfQGs_iDO1DGpc8FN1pJzZH2XJHkh1Q_jSFfk15BMm3hZLcc1g98wR16QaMXsMv6GBqaNsrSoJHEzU1nXyLUmhdxMVWJ0Lc60e39GhHrFmYVaeF_Pm6vb7VAFl5KQg5-I/s3264/2024-01-16%20002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I just do not go on about it, it does not help, and at times can make things worse. The tablets I am on help quite a bit so does Luna. I find people have enough in there own lives to bother about without someone else's pain. I just get on with it and do my best.</p><p><br /></p><p>27th</p><p>Luna is doing good now she is in our bedroom. I did not really want her there but she wanted her Mum (me). She goes straight in her basket gets comfy and sleeps till morning. Well its a short night from 2-3 am till eight am. Jumps on the bed then paws you to see if you are awake, full attack mode kisses cuddles all round - time to get up. My face and head feels quite sore today I think it's from the cold winds we have had and the face NEURALGIA I have, it flares up now and again.</p><p><br /></p><p>28th</p><p>Giving Luna a bath today she has bean very itchy, no sign of fleas. I put her flea stuff on any way I think its her hormones' after being in season for the first time. While bathing her she jumped out covered in soap. I got her back only for her to do it again. Our bath is an old one and quite high so a big jump for a little girl. She did not hurt herself at all. She got dried with the hair dryer at first she was a bit nervous but then loved it, sat there with a warm breeze blowing at her. Not long and Luna was dry, warm and so soft. She then had a sleep for a while.</p><p>I washed out the garden sprayers to use as the roses have a touch of green fly. Got them sprayed so good bye bugs. Bit more knitting and cuddles with Luna. Just about every time I sit down Luna is there trying to get on my knee. If I say no she will go in her basket with such a look on her face like you have half killed her. </p><p><br /></p><p>31st </p><p>Dentist today, tooth out, not a bad one but it has crumbled do to the ALENDRONIC ACID I take for OSTEOPOROSIS. There is only half a tooth there as the rest gone. The dentist was not sure if he should do it as it can bleed a lot but he and I agreed to him taking it out. All went well I did not even feel the two big injections of LIDOCAINE he gave me to numb it. Later I felt like I had bean hit in the face as the numbness wore off. Not too much pain though I suppose the tablets I am on help. Overnight it bled a bit too.</p><p>My friend told me that there are Deer on the common with three babies. She was watching them play and drinking from the lake how sweet. </p><p>Well that's the new year started not too good so far, but maybe that's the bad stuff out the way for the rest of the year. All the very best to everyone and happy late new year to you all </p><p>Love Gill.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwqLW9_HMPl_9d_vsqRixiAA2ZpO0tyd2LKBa-jT-7LTa0b71bSa65cuy11lJf_3aFbgExX3Qao8P-qPakKW3eaJPYF5ZdKrCLRUFWj8_XbXYslBiRrcK2b4nvMoB18iHI6V_s-XBQCU5agOP4amBdltmJUDa1fMlYVhXApm51o6zb_XuNeii_dDBiHdo/s2048/pjpJrzAE%20(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1560" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwqLW9_HMPl_9d_vsqRixiAA2ZpO0tyd2LKBa-jT-7LTa0b71bSa65cuy11lJf_3aFbgExX3Qao8P-qPakKW3eaJPYF5ZdKrCLRUFWj8_XbXYslBiRrcK2b4nvMoB18iHI6V_s-XBQCU5agOP4amBdltmJUDa1fMlYVhXApm51o6zb_XuNeii_dDBiHdo/s320/pjpJrzAE%20(1).jpg" width="244" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Luna's waiting for dinner</div>Gill Pyrahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16554599037210034283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1255014379495295812.post-81138040852792025702023-12-31T16:39:00.001+00:002024-01-03T22:10:29.074+00:00December<p>December 3rd</p><p>Snow when I got up, deep as well, none when I went to bed a few hours earlier. Andrew was still up and said it snowed be for four am. I went to bed half two ish. Luna had never seen snow before and was a little hesitant to start with, She then jumped, rolled and played in it. She did not seem to mind the cold at all. Saw Mary and Rory on the common. There were a lot of people sledging too, and just having fun in the snow. Around two to three inches more in places where it had bean blown by the cold wind. Mary said she cannot remember this amount of people on the common last year. I said it did not really snow last year, oh yes she said laughing. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib2DF2oZRJwnlEVsLsrdryXncT1TQcJA-Z0TMRojFuZgCfUuO0ptSz-sr94t0v1lvz3-VRBBLv6wcelDt99Yv_b2sPT5KOxcOV8X99uaSEyYgLT1DTlkStu7ANC78-Vrb4bfY0RKRl-BvRaEVxhKGQnxJQi7GouFsGtuTUbgjAXIdaPke19k84zxRW1yE/s3264/2023-12-03%20001.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

Giving the bedrooms a good clean today. Andrew's pepper plant (grown hydroponically so just in water) had leaked and took a long time to clean up.</p><p><br /></p><p>5th</p><p>Not too bad a day, sun at midday and quite a bit warmer too. Finishing off cleaning upstairs today.</p><p>I had a phone call today, one of them people saying that they are from Virgin Media and are not- a con call. He wanted me to go on the computer and type in things. I said I did not use the computer at all, He said no problem I will talk you through it. I said I do not use it. He then said do you have a smartphone? I said no I do not; that's true. He kept saying Oh my and Oh dear. There was a long gap and I said I have a dog. He said I was eccentric, and still kept saying oh my all the time. After a while I said I have not got all day to talk to you goodbye. I would have loved to see his face while talking to me. </p><p><br /></p><p>6th</p><p>Just of few bits of the snow left now, and soon that will be gone. Nice to see it for the Children as they were off school as well. Rain today so even the snowmen still standing tall will be gone. Just me and Luna today walking, we did not see anyone at all. Luna does not mind and keeps cleaner with just us two. She goes off with Rory exploring in the long grass and can get very wet and mucky. She does not go very far coming back leaving Rory to go on his own.</p><p><br /></p><p>7th</p><p>Pilates went well not as hard session today as past ones. Used the wobble board that we used to use a lot in the past. Did ok but balance is not the best and can vary a lot. My wrist was painful today and I could not do the press up against the wall even with hand clenched. Apart from that I think I did quite well. Had time with Luna and a sit down I made a Spaghetti Bolognaise for tea nice, but I think I had a bit too much as stomach bloated up. Bit more knitting, nearly finished blanket, had a bath then a couple of hours of TV then bed around two thirty as usual. </p><p><br /></p><p>8th</p><p>Saw Mary and Debbie on the common with their dogs. Luna was very pleased to see Rory and played with him, some days he will play others he won't. Cleaning up down stairs today took most of the day as Andy came round for a coffee. Still cleaning at five thirty a sit down, then do tea, chips tonight. I have finished Jenny's blanket well knitting it, just the ends to sew in. Now two hats to do. Started the hat later nice not to have hundreds of stitches on the needles. Blanket was over three hundred at one point.</p><p><br /></p><p>11th</p><p>Hospital to day for a look at my wrist I broke as still not right. The Doctor thinks it might be tendon damage it could still heal, but might not. We both decided to give it six months to try at least. The alternative is an operation. This can work, or make it worse. So in June we will see if any improvement at all. I can put up with the restricted movement but the pain can be quite bad. This stops me from knitting at times or less of it. The appointment was very quick and we (Paul and I) were going down the hill back into town even be for my due time to see the Doctor. I am going to do a bit of present shopping. I did quite well and got a lot of things.</p><p><br /></p><p>12th</p><p>Luna woke around eight thirty and jumped on the bed. She had bean in her basket for six hours. She settled down and had a little snooze for half a hour. We got up then. Not too cold today no cold wind like we have had. On the common is an underground stream, that bubbles up in the Winter or wet Summer. This was more like a volcano really going high. There are quite a few others as well in various places. The common is very wet, as the Summer was wet also and did not dry out too much. Does not stop the seasoned dog walkers from going on there. Luna gets very wet on legs and belly but, keeps warm with her coat on. I have sewed all the ends in on the blanket for Jenny. I can say this, as Blog will be published after Christmas when she will have received the gift.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8n1fW6X8vXLwcDPrzW4cOVpkcgM1O17bG8fwoVtQq3Iz5yet9j_4eu3W7PL6gV_KQ8XpfPGfmvKZWEPDMf5xyv2gFYgUDHXbo9M28oMMxzrj2fVFoEw4jvDpJBBKh66Nl77pMvHXtpA0vQ29JQacgtSStH29QBKWqXgXCpQn_8IK2R3ciRuko1Halkec/s3264/IMG_8141.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8n1fW6X8vXLwcDPrzW4cOVpkcgM1O17bG8fwoVtQq3Iz5yet9j_4eu3W7PL6gV_KQ8XpfPGfmvKZWEPDMf5xyv2gFYgUDHXbo9M28oMMxzrj2fVFoEw4jvDpJBBKh66Nl77pMvHXtpA0vQ29JQacgtSStH29QBKWqXgXCpQn_8IK2R3ciRuko1Halkec/s320/IMG_8141.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Jenny's blanket all done at last.</div><p>14th</p><p>I did not go to Pilates today not feeling the best. This was the last one for this year Jenny came round later she is doing well.</p><p>17th</p><p>I am knitting a monkey for Jamie-Lee. She said can you make me something, I said what anything she said. So I thought a monkey he is about twelve inches high or should be when finished. I making a scarf and hat and hopefully dungarees as well. </p><p>Luna had her first bath today and quite liked it when she settled in a bit. She is very soft as blow dried as well. Rory has a lot of blow drys from Mary after a common walk.

When I saw him he said the tooth was not savable so would have to come out. He was undecided weather it would be a hospital job or not. In the end he said he would do it. This is because of the ALENDRONIC ACID I am on that can cause bleeding and slow healing in some cases. I am prepared to go ahead with it next year. If things go wrong they will have to deal with it.</p><p><br /></p><p>21st</p><p>Cleaned up down stairs. I have finished the hats for Roberto and Bianca from Holland also one for a friend.

Standing up at the settee. He is a very strong lad but I think it will be a while be for he will walk. His Dad Jay-Jay walked at nine months at his Great Great Nana's house a few days before Christmas. We left some presents for him and Molly his Mum.

Luna's ears are sort of hidden as same colour as her head and body.

They are going home by train at seven thirty so Paul is taking them to Newark to get it. I did batches of chip so that would be easier, plus loads of bits out the fridge and a few things cooked. We exchanged presents love things from them. A love day enjoyed by everyone here, Tommy-Lee and Kira not here he is working doing something for his Dad. He needs the money as Kira's Birthday very soon fourth of January. Lindsay. Jay-Jay and Jamie-Lee here.</p><p>Jay-Jay tried on the glove I had done and like I thought it was too small, Jamie-Lee is having them when both finished. I'd already made them for Stefan but asked Andrew if he could have another pair for his friend; he said yes and I will make another pair for him.

My wrist is still very painful. I have bean massaging it with PHORPAIN IBUPROFEN GEL 10% W/W, this helps a bit but I think there is something a bit wrong with my wrist. I twisted it when drying Luna, since then it has not bean right at all. The Doctor said I would receive an appointment soon to see him. </p><p>Cleaning up stairs today got most done, the rest tomorrow. </p><p><br /></p><p>2nd </p><p>Pilates on my bike cold and windy. I think Winter is on its way. I did not go quite as hard on the squats this week, as muscle pain last time for a few days. Shows how much not doing something can affect you. </p><p><br /></p><p>3rd</p><p>Finished off doing the bedrooms, went over downstairs as well. Paul was sanding the back hallway cupboard door and there was sawdust on the floor, so I left the vacuum out for him to finish when he had done. </p><p>Later a lot of fireworks were going off some with very loud bangs. I had Luna tucked in my hoodie and she seemed to like them. In fact she grumbled when it was quiet, more so with the ground fireworks. She could hear them but not see them. I am still down stairs sleeping with Luna. We get quite a good nights sleep. Not sure what the next step is but for now its as it is. </p><p><br /></p><p>4th</p><p>A very wet day rained a lot, river is very high. We are lucky as many people have left their homes because of serious flooding. I know it's very wet on the common with small underground streams and rivers appearing in a lot of places. You have to be careful that you do not slip. Saw Mary and gave her the calming spray and plug in, to hopefully help Rory, as he is terrified of firework and loud bangs. He was a street dog for a few years so no ones really knows what he went through. Hope it helps as he is a lovely dog.</p><p>Our friend John is here tonight to treat us to a Chinese super as a thank you for Paul taking him to appointments out of Lincoln. The Chinese was very good and Andrew joined us as well, everyone enjoyed the food.</p><p><br /></p><p>5th</p><p> Lindsay and family plus Paul, went to see the Sincil Bank football ground fireworks. Tommy-Lee's girlfriend Kiera had got a very bad case of TONSILLITIS and looked very pale. Tommy-Lee was not the best either. Andrew, Luna and I did not go. Andrew is not really interested and would sooner watch them in the garden. I can not go as it could bring on SEIZURES, the flashing lights have never bean very good for me even be for I had SEIZURES. I always felt dizzy at fairgrounds often with headaches too. At a display you are just sat waiting for the fireworks to begin, never on time either. No sooner started then finished. Not like when I was growing up, a big bonfire a small box of fireworks. A great time. We then watched any others that went off. So casual and just a nice night. When I was younger we often used to put half cooked potatoes to finish baking in the embers of the fire. My parents trusted us enough to let us do this and get close to the fire. Not like today, that is if there even is a bonfire at all, it would be roped off. Were we a lot more sensible or more grown up than to days children!? </p><p><br /></p><p>6th</p><p>Today I am varnishing the doors for the cupboard that Paul has sanded down. This takes a long time as new soft wood. Three coats are recommend, I am hoping just to do two and see how it goes. This I am doing outside but it's a bit cold and soon gets dark. Going well, holding the brush a bit hard at times but starting and stopping seems to work. Most bits have had at least one coat so the rest another day.</p><p> Doing well with the blanket I am making, nearly half way there. Then I will be decreasing all the way down to four stitches again. When finished I will put a picture up. Just another one to make after this one is finished. I am going to do smaller stripes. Not sure why, but this seems to go quicker possibly because you change colour more often.</p><p><br /></p><p>8th</p><p>Cold wind on the common. Saw Mary and Rory she said he was terrified and did not even want to go out for a wee. She thought the plug in and spray helped but needed more time to saturate the house. Poor Rory he is such a good dog. Luna's coat is keeping her warm and dry and everyone thinks she looks very cute in it. I got some new tracksters today for my Pilates sessions and when I go running again. My others are at least a decade old and very tattie. Hopefully they will be a bit warmer when going on my bike this winter. Got a few Christmas presents come as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>10th</p><p>Paul and I took my bike (in the back of the car) for a service as badly needed one. He said he would have it done at the latest Wednesday next week. </p><p>Went into town to get a few Christmas presents did quite well too. Had to ring Paul to meet me, as the bags got too heavy for me. I was going to come home by bus but they are all usually full after the bus station stop. I would have got on the one out of town, so no much chance of getting a seat. I do not like buses anyway and have not bean on one for over three years since be for COVID. Very tired later and shoulder pain too, from the bags of shopping. Bit more of the blanket going well.</p><p><br /></p><p>14th</p><p>Nice walk on the common Squidgy and his son Ben (ex neighbours)came round to see us, just as I came back from the common. After they had gone I cleaned up before going to see my friend Lyn as its her Birthday. I looked at the clock and thought it said eleven am but no it was twelve. I had to hurry then as going on the bus around one ish. Got there ok it felt weird being on a bus again as not bean on one for around three years. The journey is only a short ride around two- three miles. Lyn and Mo her husband are both well. She looks very good as a bit older than me but not as many health problems. Good to see her, as last time we met up was my Birthday in February. Her bungalow is very nice and tidy the whole time but can be cold as they only heat up the one room. </p><p><br /></p><p>16th</p><p>Pilates went well, the bike rode a lot smoother and just glided along. Went up Canwick hill lovely, cold and windy along the back roads. I put my balaclava on coming home under my helmet to cover my ears a lot warmer than going . A good session but wrist is very painful, not good when you need it to hold the handlebars. Cup of tea and a big cuddle with Luna when I got home.</p><p><br /></p><p>18th</p><p><br /></p><p>FLU and COVID jabs then into town to get some wool to make my friends baby a blanket. She is called Heather and is the new baby daughter of Helen and Paul and sister for Poppy who is four. Well done all of you.</p><p>Jabs went well arms a bit tender but not too bad. Came home and watched Starship take off went well did more this time. Did the belly flop not easy for something weighing around 120 tons plus.</p><p>Later we had Indian for tea very nice too. Later I did not feel the best probably tired out. During the night hot and cold dizzy even when lying down. </p><p><br /></p><p>19th</p><p>Legs and arms very painful spasms too. Got up violent headache. I took Luna as sometimes it can help in the fresh cold air. I think it did make my head feel a bit better. I just feel so hot and dizzy all the time. Later mid afternoon I had a lay down on the settee with Luna of course. Felt better after wards head not as spinning.</p><p><br /></p><p>20th</p><p>I feel a bit better but not really that good mostly just sat all day sometimes knitting other times just resting. Finished off the first blanket just the ends to sew in. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjULkdyhWH5ZqB3-f2tmeos-_Cmc3HlpqyGASXCN5y2d1mp1gX3L1qsAKTBZH3rJJ5e4AfyqsHrKEHEIjvZpWw7R6swsgnhforB8x8lGIj43RnW4NO683LIvSf30y4WKRi_FzApwp5ePAzeiNpiOSGmBt3bvQhuoi-kmgiHmGVQaxEHiWQVPp2Sp6TVSfY/s3244/2023-11-21%20003.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3244" data-original-width="2420" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjULkdyhWH5ZqB3-f2tmeos-_Cmc3HlpqyGASXCN5y2d1mp1gX3L1qsAKTBZH3rJJ5e4AfyqsHrKEHEIjvZpWw7R6swsgnhforB8x8lGIj43RnW4NO683LIvSf30y4WKRi_FzApwp5ePAzeiNpiOSGmBt3bvQhuoi-kmgiHmGVQaxEHiWQVPp2Sp6TVSfY/s320/2023-11-21%20003.JPG" width="239" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Blanket all done came out a bit bigger than the last one I made.</div><p><br /></p><p>Getting the other one started now, smaller stripes like I said plus one more colour as I used some on first blanket. Did some washing and put it out I think it will dry. </p><p><br /></p><p>21st</p><p>Looks like it will rain soon, so getting Luna out early after her brush. She did not get her brushed yesterday and it showed a few knots. Hopefully she will be able to get cut soon, last time she was scared of the clippers so Maxine could not do too much. I do feel quite a bit better but not quite right yet. I think this was a reaction to the jabs I had. At a guess I would say the FLU one. Any way I am on the way up now. I am going to give Pilates a miss this week as a ten mile round trip so not up to that. </p><p>Did a bit of cleaning up but forgot the water was off. Lucky it was not off long so able to do bathroom and kitchen the rest tomorrow. </p><p><br /></p><p>23rd</p><p>As I said no Pilates this week. Rested and did more knitting of second blanket going well and seems to be faster. Twenty row stripes instead of forty rows, More changes and ends to sew in but looks good. </p><p>I feel stronger today but very tired and headache back again. Limb pains just about gone now so I am very pleased about that.</p><p><br /></p><p>25th</p><p>Sharp frost very cold on the common. Luna did not feel it as she was running around, I am pleased I got her the red coat as she soon gets cold when stood. She now weighs 4.9kg so not much at all, since last month she has put on a little bit from 4.5. Later working on this Blog bringing it up to date.</p><p>Andrew and I are going to make a Christmas cake. I said I was not going to make one but Andrew said he would help so today's the day. Cake baking went well. Andrew did most of it and I weighed up the ingredients. The cake smelt so good while it was cooking. I am making John a sponge cake like I did last year. Then that's it, no more as it takes me a lot longer to do some things now. My grip is not good neither is my concentration either. I need my glasses to just see labels and cooking instructions.</p><p><br /></p><p>27th</p><p>A wet start to the day. Luna was confused as we held off to see if the rain stopped a bit. We got out around two pm, so not too bad Luna was very happy. With going out at a different time we met a lot of new people and dogs. Paul and I went Christmas shopping to see what presents we could get. Not very successful as only got one. At least it's one less. I got Luna a treat ball recommended by Westie Vibes; a youtube channel I watch. You fill it with treats then the dog rolls it around to get them, can take a while as it has a lip. It's the Planet Dog Orbee- Tuff Lil'Snoop --Interactive Treat Dispensing Dog Toy small Royal Blue from Amazon. </p><p><br /></p><p>28th</p><p>Luna's hair cut today, how will it go? Last time not too good as she was scared of the clippers. This time however, she very good and Maxine managed a good groom on her. I did have to hold her at times but on the whole she was very good. Maxine was very surprised how she coped with it all as well. She looks so sweet now and a lot smaller too.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcpgcde8DFjLFTVBoKdHMHHsjz_1k_lYhUi-slaT_WzQVhTWOfZ-OQ0yyxF6048BcGXS_r2j1GEcie2LAv6dlq7-YYT-lYxNVg-AyOhvrWUqccs9DUgIx8EwLI26X3qUrsnhmKum0w5MsLjQ5-AWyxJH5BV9hRuKAaH7UGd0HtJ9qsVec50AygdDmRjyA/s3368/LUNA%20AFTER%20HAIRCUT%2028-11-23.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3368" data-original-width="2244" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcpgcde8DFjLFTVBoKdHMHHsjz_1k_lYhUi-slaT_WzQVhTWOfZ-OQ0yyxF6048BcGXS_r2j1GEcie2LAv6dlq7-YYT-lYxNVg-AyOhvrWUqccs9DUgIx8EwLI26X3qUrsnhmKum0w5MsLjQ5-AWyxJH5BV9hRuKAaH7UGd0HtJ9qsVec50AygdDmRjyA/s320/LUNA%20AFTER%20HAIRCUT%2028-11-23.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">She looks so sweet.</div><p><br /></p><p>Had a walk with Andrew to get some things from Hobby Craft just outside of the town centre. Also Boyes in town, quite a walk as already bean on the common. It was very cold as well. Luna was not happy at being left but she will be alright. I did get my Brother his Christmas present so that's good. Luna was very happy we were back.</p><p>New people have moved in next door, and their dog barks a lot, it's only a little dog but can be very annoying.</p><p><br /></p><p>29th</p><p>Went to see my friend Joy today took both her Christmas and Birthday present. I have not seen her for ages just speaking on the phone. Good afternoon and nice to see her face to face. Paul took me and the presents as around two miles away and I walked back calling in the town and getting a few more Christmas bits. </p><p><br /></p><p>30th</p><p>No Pilates today as very cold again and sharp frost. I would be going on my bike and I did not think it was worth it for an hours Pilates. I think I will struggle in the cold weather getting there. I could go by bus, but it's around twenty minutes or more to the bus stop as it does not come past the high street. The buses are a mystery to everyone as they run when they feel like it. The first ones runs on time and after that's it's a have I missed it or not. Coming back home it's the same. So I like to go on my bike when I can. </p><p>Luna had a "Pup day" she was just getting in to trouble, eating the plants that have bean brought in for winter, my vase of flowers too. I had to sort out some parcels for pick up, while at the door she ate my chocolate biscuits (not good for dogs at all). Not content with that she found a chocolate sweet and ate that too plus the wrapper. All this while I was trying to clean up. A lot of parcels delivered today only one for us though. We take in parcels for others.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well November gone nearly Christmas now. Not too bad a month for me apart from my reaction to the jabs. A fair bit of pain but I try not to dwell on it and just get on with it. Hope things are not too bad with you and you are coping well. </p><p>All the best to you and enjoy your Christmas. </p><p>Love Gill. </p><p> </p>Gill Pyrahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16554599037210034283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1255014379495295812.post-52607346112379804402023-10-31T20:29:00.000+00:002023-11-05T20:30:40.548+00:00October<p> October 1st</p><p>Lliam my Nephew is doing ok. Lincoln hospital panicked a bit over his burns. There are bad but as bad they first thought. As far as they can see he will not need skin graphs. He was very lucky that his friend pulled off his t-shirt and doused him with water. This could have bean so much worse. Lliam saved his face by turning the other way when he realised what was happening. All the best Lliam and recover fast. I know he will not like being off work one bit.</p><p><br /></p><p>3rd</p><p>Nice walk on the common with Luna, we saw some of our friends and some new ones as well. Luna loves meting people, friends or not. Went on a bike ride today to see if my bike is ok. The puncture has bean mended and every thing was good. All ready for Thursday and Pilates. My wrist is painful and swollen with spasms and pain, plus electric shocks. I am sure RSD has stuck its nose in again as the other wrist I broke (2019) was like it. Not as painful though. I think there might be more to it. I am having a call from the Doctor ( November 1st) I saw last time when my plaster was taken off. I am not able to do as much knitting as I would like, as my wrist spasms up all the time. Paul is cleaning the bathroom, something I spent two hours doing a few days ago, and hurt a lot after. Because he sanded the door down inside the house instead of outside, it messed it up again. Complete waste of my time and effort on my part. </p><p><br /></p><p>5th</p><p>Luna was awake at six thirty scratching the door and crying. I thought she would sleep more as bean awake since nine PM last night. She did not settle when I left her last night. She had two walks as well yesterday.Nothing seems to tire her out, or maybe she gets too tired. I did get to Pilates though and enjoyed it very much.Preety much the same as before corvid. A lot of people who went to the last sessions were there and a few new faces. They were pleased to see me. My bike went well and I got up Canwick hill, with electric power and peddling. Rained a bit going but fine coming home. Its around ten mile plus round trip.</p><p><br /></p><p>7th</p><p>Last night I slept down stairs on the settee I am so fed up of coming up and down the stairs. Not getting hardly any sleep less then normal and that's not a lot. Luna slept well, I thought when I turned off the light she would jump up on the settee, no she did not and stayed in her basket all night. Being doing a bit more knitting made a bobble hat to go with a jacket I made sometime this year. Took me three attempts to get a bobble that was good enough.</p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTAK-mkOrn66-B9H54mFbZgjdgwEC4qio9U6n15se0DQciTXArotptmC5kTue6a-0ueDaApurOtlCsegK5LkfAMxo-o1xE8kPhP1DbR00-poSIvPK01Ug-iZ3x8jZTKeBlLJRkCkUG3jfnMzpp9_7LsOTKLDOn8yzoKZeor7mPuxIp2ZX6zjwFRtVuSek/s3264/2023-11-05%20015.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTAK-mkOrn66-B9H54mFbZgjdgwEC4qio9U6n15se0DQciTXArotptmC5kTue6a-0ueDaApurOtlCsegK5LkfAMxo-o1xE8kPhP1DbR00-poSIvPK01Ug-iZ3x8jZTKeBlLJRkCkUG3jfnMzpp9_7LsOTKLDOn8yzoKZeor7mPuxIp2ZX6zjwFRtVuSek/s320/2023-11-05%20015.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">Bobble hat to go with the jacket I knitted for Meadow my Niece.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>10th</p><p>Went with Paul to get some cupboard doors, hinges, and nobs that we are replacing. They doors are thick with varnish, this time they are going to be waxed instead, hopefully by me. Luna and I had a good long walk on the common, she is getting a very confident little pup. </p><p><br /></p><p>11th</p><p>I have now finished off the baby set I am making for Willow; Lliam and Fiona's baby.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB0JnIgo2aav1sGms-jRRhLff69UK5du9-Arpesuz0SOLvN6mjSWzHRhsqpT2UxaOqrQ4KDpVGV1Oq4EkS7oBEMH8YHG0GjKGvP2-yK0EEdwoJr1CJji5TBMIn76IGy3jC_vgPzgvj-xlCqyq1XlKxc-TmqR2un-qB64l-nozqS4HOfShU7VI-FG1GJHc/s3264/2023-11-05%20014.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB0JnIgo2aav1sGms-jRRhLff69UK5du9-Arpesuz0SOLvN6mjSWzHRhsqpT2UxaOqrQ4KDpVGV1Oq4EkS7oBEMH8YHG0GjKGvP2-yK0EEdwoJr1CJji5TBMIn76IGy3jC_vgPzgvj-xlCqyq1XlKxc-TmqR2un-qB64l-nozqS4HOfShU7VI-FG1GJHc/s320/2023-11-05%20014.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Hope she likes it.</div><p>Next are things for Christmas presents. I have quite a bit to do but its whether my wrist will let me. The knitting I am doing now is on circle needles so I think its a bit kinder on my wrists. Still I can only do a bit at a time. </p><p><br /></p><p>12th</p><p>Pilates today. It's damp and cold but at least I did not get caught in the rain I was home by then. I did well and managed some things like arms up and swings that I could not do be for covid. My arms were just too painful back then from the RSD. Paul was here when I got back, he was not needed at the hospital volunteering. Very tired for the rest of the day but a nice tired after doing something I like, Pilates. </p><p><br /></p><p>14th</p><p>A rest day or so I thought. Went out in the garden and decided to do some of the pulling up the dead bits and just general garden tidy. Going well till it rained but I got a lot of it done. Saved seeds for next year as well. Came in and did a bit more knitting instead.</p><p><br /></p><p>15th</p><p>First frost of the year, when I was out side last night there was no sign of frost, so must have turned a lot colder later. Sunny later and warm in the sun but cold wind out of it. I know it was cold on the common. </p><p><br /></p><p>16th</p><p>I have bean having trouble with one of my tablets for the last few weeks, 100MG (TEGRETOL) CARBAMAZEPINE - not being able to get them being told the chemist they have got them, not got them not able to get them, being offered liquid instead then tablets again 200MG I only had a few tablets left and need them for FACIAL NEURALGIA and these help very much.</p><p>Paul took the old doors and other bits to the skip. I did a bit more in the garden so not much more to do now looks good as tidy now. Paul took all Lindsay's bits to her house that have bean in our shed. Also the Sylvanias that have bean here three years. </p><p><br /></p><p>17th</p><p>I had a call from the chemist saying that I have bean prescribed 200 mg tablet of TEGRETOL CARBAMAZEPINE . I could have cried I thought it was all sorted out. I told her they are too small to be cutting them in half and the liquid was prescribed for me last week. She said she would sort it and ring me back later or tomorrow.</p><p>18th</p><p>Did two hours of ironing, sheets plus clothes. Very tired today bean quite busy this last week. No phone call from Doctors or Chemist. </p><p>19th</p><p>I called the chemist to see what they had come up with and was told it was all in order, and she was stood there with the liquid in her hand. They had put a bit in a separate bottle for some reason instead of a bigger bottle she said. At least it was all sorted or was it? I hope so. I did not go to Pilates today not feeling the best very tired, when its getting close to my B12 injection (31st). I can feel very drained as if it has not quite the same affect or it it just me? Other people who have them have said the same thing. I think the hand pain is getting to me. I can knit, but not for long. I do not move my left hand when knitting, but still get a lot of spasms down it which are very painful and don't know when to stop. </p><p><br /></p><p>20th</p><p>A lot of rain has fallen and the Sincil Bank is very high. I think it will go over some time soon. A lot of houses have bean flooded and people have had to move out. I know the under ground streams on the common are full and making mini rivers down the slopes and collecting in big puddles in a lot of places. Luna gets very wet and muddy. I need to get her a coat, she is so skinny so it will have to be a very slim one. We did not go out today as the rain hardly stopped. The trees are getting bare and the common is dieing off. Soon it will look very bare and cold. I have bean told there are a lot of small deer on there and have bean seen by a lot of people. I have not seen them as yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>21st</p><p>The river is very high and can be seen from our house. My friend Debbie lives on the river bank and is around two feet away from the river at the moment. She is not too bother as it has happened before and has bean higher.</p><p><br /></p><p>22nd</p><p>Doing things in the garden very wet but things need doing and tiding up. Usually I would have put plants in the green house for winter. The greenhouse now is not mine so no do. Weather it can be used again we will have to wait and see, if they use it or I can again. I cut through the little lights that we put up for Summer. Obviously they did not work after that. I tried to mend them but could not. My hands were like I had on boxing gloves again. Also I have tried to get rid off the rust marks caused by the chairs on the patio. I tried lemon juice and bicarbonate soda this helped a bit and I think it will fade with time. </p><p><br /></p><p>25th</p><p>Cleaning upstairs, a good clean, moving things and putting the winter quilts on as colder now. Went into town later to get a Birthday present for Tracy. I got her a very nice jumper and I think she will like it. Also a few more gifts for Christmas presents. I did quite well in a short time I was there.</p><p><br /></p><p>26th</p><p>Paul took me to Pilates as rain pouring down. A good session and I managed things that I could not previously do. I did a load of squats and got down very low. </p><p><br /></p><p>27th</p><p>Rest day as a bit tired today. Luna got very wet on the common as she was looking for Rory who kept wandering off. She needs a coat like I have already said. She stood there at the crossing shaking and was very wet. When we get home she gets dried off and we sit there with her wrapped in her soft towel. After a around an hour or so and a cup of tea later for me, a biscuit for Luna and she is raring to go again. I think I over did the squats at Pilates as muscles are tight in the top of my legs. </p><p><br /></p><p>28th</p><p>Andrew and I went to "Pets at Home" to get Luna a coat. We tried loads on but she is very skinny so not a lot fitted her. Luna walked most of the way and back only carried near a busy road called Tritton road. She was very tired when we got back and had a good sleep. She had already had a good walk in the morning. I think she probably walked around four miles in total maybe more. </p><p><br /></p><p>29th</p><p>Luna wore her coat for the first time and got compliments from a few people who saw her. Debbie said she looked very cute, and she does. She likes it as well and does not try to get it off. The coat is very light and waterproof its a 3 peaks one so good quality. She felt nice and cosy when I took her coat off and a lot drier too.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4hCfdNERDBV7nUrcsHKGapCZh_SQqxO7yxz45VNjb67_oy9OZcbKOBaFHSM_3IglfpZHK5_jy14gB-wf_yHZKdh6mHoJkV76kyX3K4wD-YZD5f5palH9fdkVnNsFlCLbUAzwi1Bf-q13SP19kpS4YgiGCJ-WWi7u_sH_VKazXl06Ug6CPGFHinM9lW_I/s3264/2023-11-05%20005.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4hCfdNERDBV7nUrcsHKGapCZh_SQqxO7yxz45VNjb67_oy9OZcbKOBaFHSM_3IglfpZHK5_jy14gB-wf_yHZKdh6mHoJkV76kyX3K4wD-YZD5f5palH9fdkVnNsFlCLbUAzwi1Bf-q13SP19kpS4YgiGCJ-WWi7u_sH_VKazXl06Ug6CPGFHinM9lW_I/s320/2023-11-05%20005.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_4f4_LaBP0Q4FXnpRRaSDQ-QG0ALX1-GTqvcGe5NV2o0m0bil4K6oIEhTpyiWZdH0oIdLdXXR-yggvE3-7MebrJBrKaKUuCY1_UrajnPnavI15SGWYc20ShsGc7iryCRnhLjIqud2ctAi6lcP0Mk3YEgw5RuUfMX3qZfPW9iUS0ekQhXB11hZodK1lME/s3264/2023-11-05%20007.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_4f4_LaBP0Q4FXnpRRaSDQ-QG0ALX1-GTqvcGe5NV2o0m0bil4K6oIEhTpyiWZdH0oIdLdXXR-yggvE3-7MebrJBrKaKUuCY1_UrajnPnavI15SGWYc20ShsGc7iryCRnhLjIqud2ctAi6lcP0Mk3YEgw5RuUfMX3qZfPW9iUS0ekQhXB11hZodK1lME/s320/2023-11-05%20007.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwRD5bvEMZxAhfaKG17A4Lt4i58HImoxF7PIkpL7KdTaNrhTg1Nqb2V5Tnt_l7nPZjaPBpKkFasMgt_Esa47zuOY-oIVjcB1uyntEyEKNYzrjkNP33arv3kZ15tvGOp1zi1Aj8NUHaNpC5nfk7ClFZjtfNW1TN8ivpfXFTtstkRb01McL5w6FCYbVfY9M/s3264/2023-11-05%20009.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwRD5bvEMZxAhfaKG17A4Lt4i58HImoxF7PIkpL7KdTaNrhTg1Nqb2V5Tnt_l7nPZjaPBpKkFasMgt_Esa47zuOY-oIVjcB1uyntEyEKNYzrjkNP33arv3kZ15tvGOp1zi1Aj8NUHaNpC5nfk7ClFZjtfNW1TN8ivpfXFTtstkRb01McL5w6FCYbVfY9M/s320/2023-11-05%20009.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">She thinks she is cool.</div><p>I finished off the garden now and trimmed next doors roses like I used to do for Karol.

Told her off and finally got her ready to go home, she is very fast and to her everything is a game. Rest day today as tired from yesterday's gardening. Later the dog next door was barking, the family have gone on holiday and someone is supposed to be looking after him. He barked from the moment they went hardly stopping. At times he had a rest, poor dog, he must have bean exhausted. He upset Luna as well. Why have a dog if you can not make proper arrangements for him. When we see them we will ask what was arranged for the dog. </p><p>4th</p><p>A bit better night than lately with Luna. Going to be a hot day again. Going to do a bit more in the garden later. The dogs family came back around ten pm. A long time for a dog to be on its own. I am just pleased they are back. </p><p><br /></p><p>5th</p><p>Luna was better at coming back on the common today. She comes back every other time but as soon as its lead time she does not listen. She even got a treat from my friend which she enjoyed very much, her first from a another person. Paul spoke to next door family and they said he was being looked after by a an elderly parent. She was deaf that explains the night, but not during day, as she would see him. Usually he only barks when on his own which I think, he was a lot. Any way they are back now and its there dog not mine</p><p><br /></p><p>6th</p><p>Dull to start with then quite hot. Heavy air probably a storm later hopefully. My wrist, the one I broke is very painful spasms and just pain. I think this could be RSD more and more as time goes on. Very warm at night never dropped below 20C. I was even warm and I am usually cold even in the summer. </p><p><br /></p><p>8th</p><p>Happy Birthday Tommy-Lee, seventeen and Jamie-Lee,eleven. We are seeing them tomorrow as they have plans today. Luna on the common was wild, you would not think she had so little sleep last night.</p><p><br /></p><p>9th</p><p>Saw the grandchildren in the afternoon and Tommy-Lee's girlfriend who I had not previously met. Very preety and petite. Also saw there new puppy, a Border Collie called Bonnie. She was hot so did not have a lot to do with us. Lindsay said she is sleeping at night as well, being in Lindsay's room I think makes a huge difference to a Bonnie. I have said I will not take Luna upstairs as it will not be safe for me.</p><p>Went to see my friend Jenny, she is doing well. She has a two seater and three seater settee that she no longer wants as a new one is on its way. Paul took measurements but I think it will be too big we could have the big one but Paul said two or none. She also gave us loads of computer things that her late husband used to use, plus other things. Thank you very much Jenny good to see you. </p><p><br /></p><p>11th</p><p>Slept in the front room so when Luna cried I just shouted to her "bed time go to sleep" I think it worked but, I said it lots of times. Cleaning up today got it all done apart from the dining room. A neighbour had arranged to have a parcel delivered here, as she would be out. Where did they try to deliver it-again? her house of course. </p><p><br /></p><p>13th</p><p>My friend Joy came to see me today. She brought sausage rolls, plus a packet of treats for Luna. This is the first time Joy has seen her and she thought she was lovely. Her nephew has got a pup around the same age as Luna, it's a Great Dane; yes quite a lot bigger. </p><p><br /></p><p>16th</p><p>Sorting out a few cupboards, you know things you keep just in case then weeks later get rid of them. Chinese tubs which Paul thinks we should have loads of. We now have around ten just in case. The cupboards now look a lot better and you can see what we have got. </p><p><br /></p><p>18th</p><p>A very wet night and a storm as well. Luna was awake every hour not sure if she knew I was in the front room or the storm upset her. I am going to sort out the knitting cupboard later to see what wool I have. I will soon start the Christmas gifts I am making for family. </p><p><br /></p><p>19th</p><p>Pilates is back on again 21st not online, like during COVID and after but in the hall like it used to be. I had a choice of sit mostly down or what I used to do a long time ago on a mat. I have decided on the sit down one as later time and I think my body will cope better with this. I have a ten mile round trip on my bike hopefully. There is a bus but that means a half hour walk as it does not come down the high street. I hope my wrist will be ok so I can use my bike. Paul put two new tubes on it so it should go well, all downhill from here on. I am looking forward to Pilates. </p><p><br /></p><p>20th</p><p>During the night Luna somehow got upstairs to outside Andrews room, he is up two flights and she sat outside his door. She does not come down on her own, and needs to be carried. She must have cried but no one heard her, why she did not bark I do not know. I then probably would have heard her and every one else as well. She has a big bark for a little dog. I thought I had not heard her during the night and she was having a good one. I still woke up my self quite a few times. Luna is very tired and was upset earlier. I did not take her on the common, it rained a bit and she was just too tired and slept a lot of the day. Hopefully she will not go upstairs in the middle of the night again. </p><p><br /></p><p>21st</p><p>I thought Luna would not sleep at night, but she did for four hours. For her this is good, when I heard her around six am, I got up and took her out on the grass, she had a wee. Luna then slept till nearly eight am. Good walk on the common, the mornings are beginning to get a bit colder now. Tried to keep Luna awake so if tired she would sleep better Did she no, less than last night. Awake three times then up at six thirty. </p><p>Going to Pilates or that was the plan, another flat tyre there must be something in the outer tyre causing this. Went into town instead to get Paul something for his Birthday next week. </p><p><br /></p><p>22nd</p><p>Colder today 11C felt cold on the common too, I had my gloves on.We saw Mary and Rory, Mary said she was cold. Bit of knitting but wrist and fingers are painful today so not much got done. </p><p><br /></p><p>23rd</p><p>Luna and I saw a friend that had not seen Luna at all. She thought Luna was lovely. She has an cocker-poo, and a German shepherd dog, she is old now and does not get on the common as much and was at home. Bit of a rest day for me. I say that but did over an hour and half ironing. Sheets and mostly Paul's things I stopped for rests so my wrists did not get sore. Bit more knitting of the yoke of mint green baby cardigan I am making. Seems I have bean making this for ages. </p><p>Went to get a few things for the bathroom from Wickes so Luna was left on her own for a while. When we got back she had jumped the board across the dining room door twenty six inches high. She is only twelve inches high herself.</p><p>Indian for tea/super. Andrew and I went to pick it up as only down the road. We saved around five pound that way. </p><p><br /></p><p>26th</p><p>Happy Birthday Paul- He liked the things I got him and other things he got. Went to get my tablets on my bike to test it, all seems fine but the brakes need more adjustment. My Sister in law came round to see Paul to give him a card and presents. She gave me a big bar of chocolate for making the little jackets for her to give to Fiona and Lliam for baby Willow. </p><p>Lindsay and Jamie-Lee came round for tea, a Chinese, not from our local one as its closed today. Andrew and I did not think this was as good as very bland. Tonight I am going up to bed as staying down is not doing a lot of good as I think Luna wants to be in there with me. I did think it helped to start with as she did not get stressed before I heard her. </p><p><br /></p><p>27th</p><p>Cleaning up a bit but Paul is doing things in the bathroom and making a mess so not worth doing too much. Football match tonight - West ham V Lincoln. Paul is going so is Tracy who supports West Ham. A man got her a ticket right at the front so she was well pleased. West ham won 1-0 but Lincoln had a goal disallowed, offside. Both Paul and Tracy said Lincoln had the better match and should have won.</p><p><br /></p><p>28th</p><p>Pilates try again as my electric bike should be ok now. I biked along on the flat then started to go up hill, a big hill. Power seemed to be judder and no speed. First thought was the battery as I have two of them. This was the older one but it had never let me down before. I got off and decided to walk up the hill pushing my bike but it was too much. I thought if I could just get up the hill I could get to Pilates as flat from there on. No- too much for me as mine is a very heavy bike to push, not to ride though. I turned round and went back home. I was so disappointed another day missed. Paul sent Jo a message and I will ring her later. </p><p>After I had cooled off, as I was so hot my back was wet. I looked at my bike and could hardly be live what I saw another flat tyre. I felt around the outside of the tyre and found a bit of glass. Could this be what has caused all the problems? As for the loss of power this could have bean the tyre going down and making it harder for the motor to get grip fine on the flat but too much on a big hill. After Paul has looked again I will try it on the hill. I just hope it's not the electrics. I hope Jo understands and still keeps my place. Try again next week. </p><p>30th</p><p>A good night with Luna two thirty till seven ish. Paul has mended the puncture so hopefully that's all it is.</p><p>We got a message today from sister in law Bev that Lliam my Nephew had bean burnt with hot tar while working. Not sure how bad yet, he could need skin grafts. He has bean transferred to Queen Medical Nottingham from Lincoln County hospital. I will update when I know. </p><p>Well not a lot to say this month Luna hopefully is getting better at nights. The rest of the time she is mostly good. She enjoys the walks we have on the common and is meeting lots of new friends. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Hope things are good with you all all the best love Gill.</p>Gill Pyrahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16554599037210034283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1255014379495295812.post-89246583121505885432023-08-01T17:45:00.001+01:002023-09-05T17:54:59.244+01:00August.<p>August 1st</p><p>Andy, our neighbour's housefront is getting done today. New coating and painted up. Lee from next door is doing it for him. It was all booked to do last year but, he got let down. Andy paid the money then, but the person did not do the work. Currently going through the court. All the old coating off and cleaned up, a lot of dust but at least he is not there. Andy is staying with his parents for a few weeks while his leg heals a bit. He is not able to put weight on his foot at all. Around two week's time, he will get a boot fitted so he can walk. </p><p>I am feeding his cat Smudge he is missing Andy a lot. I give a few cuddles and attention but that's not the same as Andy's love. A lady who lives down the street is going around to give him cuddles. All he wants when I go around is his food. Also, Andy's parents are going around as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>2nd </p><p>Today would have bean Summer's 13th Birthday. Andrew and I used to joke that when Summer got to being a teenager she would be a rebel as she has bean such a perfect dog. Very sadly we did not get the chance to see. </p><p>Luna has not had a long night's sleep since the 24th/25th of last month. The last few days have bean wet so, I have to wipe Luna's paws when she comes in, that is if she does not run off before I get to her she is very fast. At least she is house-trained now, so long as someone sees her go to the door. When it's open she will just go out herself. If only she would sleep at night. While I was at the front door she ran straight past me and got onto the street enjoying every minute. I shouted to Lee who is doing Andy's house and he got her for me. She can run very fast and loves you to chase her. Lee grabbed her and all was well Luna is now safe inside. When the doorbell went she was in the garden. I did not see her run up to me at the front door. </p><p>Lack of sleep and pain a lot from my arm plus the RSD pain as well is getting to me and wearing me down. The wet weather is not good either as every time Luna comes in, I need to dry her. She thinks this is a game. Often I can not dry her much before she runs off. This is meant to be Summer as well. Last year it was so hot 40/41C, too hot for just about everyone. Things will get better but at the moment it is very hard. I think you forget how hard an active puppy can be. Summer was very laid back from an early age so much different from this little Lunatic. </p><p><br /></p><p>4th</p><p>The last two nights have not bean good with Luna sleeping or should I say lack of sleep. I thought the CBD oil was helping but not too sure. She is definitely more relaxed with it and not so crazy. She is one of those dogs that do not need much sleep, as right from eight weeks old she did not sleep much, even during the day. </p><p><br /></p><p>6th</p><p>I have decided to sleep on the settee in the front room for a few nights, so I can just reassure Luna through the door without having to go into the dining room where she sleeps. I know the vets can give her something, but it's a very last resort. I have been given a few different sleeping aids over the years. Some had bad side effects some just did nothing apart from extra pain and made me feel very groggery. </p><p><br /></p><p>7th</p><p>I think my sleeping on the settee sort of worked she slept from 2:45 to 7am. with just a bit of talking too through the door. </p><p>B12 today this hardly hurt a bit, not even the afterpain I usually get. I was pleased as I am going into town to get my Brother a Birthday present for the 10th this Thursday. The town was very busy and a lot of children were in town as they were off school for summer. I got David a summer jumper and a sweat-type top. A few other bits then home. Luna has some flea and worming stuff coming through the post plus a chew toy. </p><p><br /></p><p>8th</p><p>Not too bad a night I was very tired when I went to bed. Luna was as well. I had to take her out for a wee early morning before it was light. She settled after again to sleep a bit more. I was very pleased about this as we both got more rest. </p><p>Later Lindsay, Jammie-Lee, and Tommy-Lee came around. I have seen Tommy-Lee for quite a long time. My friend Debbie came for a cup of coffee later. Jammie-Lee was not too happy as she was not getting the attention she wanted. I told her that she is bigger now, nearly eleven years old, and should be able to amuse herself for a while. She knew Debbie was coming round to see me. Later my friend John came to see Paul and me. Not seen John for quite a while. He is a busy chap. Always good to see him.</p><p><br /></p><p>9th</p><p>A fair night with Luna. Not sure if she knows I am just a few yards away from her or not. Tried a bit more knitting but it hurts too much. I am getting really bored now. Not long till the plaster is off. Even then I will not be able to do much as my wrist will be sore and stiff. </p><p><br /></p><p>10th</p><p>Happy Birthday David hope you have a good day, he is sixty-five today my youngest Brother. We are going tonight to see him and Bev. Bev has asked me to bring the cardigans I knitted last year. Her youngest son Lliam, and wife Fiona are just about due to have their first baby. I took all I had knitted so far, so she has a good choice. Bev gave her them later after we had gone. She loved them all Bev said when she phoned me the next day. On the way we stopped at Lindsay's new house. I had not bean there for today. It's a nice house and when done up will be even better. </p><p>David liked his presents and card. While there, all his other children called to see him so I got to see all my Nephews on the same day. Garry lives there and we saw him before he went to work. Ricky his oldest son, and of course, Lliam and his wife Fiona called in. Andrew was in charge of Luna or was it the other way round? </p><p>Andy's cat is doing well but misses Andy of course. Andy gets a walking boot hopefully fitted on Tuesday so should be better for him as the crutches have not really worked for him.</p><p><br /></p><p>11th</p><p>Not the best of nights with Luna she woke many times. My wrist hurts a lot and feels very sore where the plaster has rubbed on each side. I have bean sorting my patterns to make some more baby cardigans for Fiona and Lliam when I am able to. With her liking the blue one I am going to make her another little one in a pale blue, this one is 4ply wool. Hopefully be able to knit properly soon.</p><p><br /></p><p>16th</p><p>The last few nights Luna has settled better so a bit more sleep for me. Keep it up Luna then things will be better all around.</p><p>Grantham Hospital today to take off the plaster. Going all the way there is around an hour of travelling when we have everything in Lincoln. Got the plaster off, quite red and sore where it has rubbed. The doctor who travels from Lincoln every day said it looked good. Quite swollen, he said that will calm down with exercise and use. I am to get some physio in Lincoln as well. Quite shocked about that. I will need to wear a support for a while if I feel it helps, not all the time though, and to exercise it as well as from the sheet I have bean given. This support feels a lot better than the first one I had. I am having a bath later so will be able to put my arm in the water first time in four weeks. I had my first support on for two weeks then the plaster for four weeks. My wrist hurts a lot and is still swollen. I enjoyed my bath which was lovely. My wrist hurts a lot more on the other side not where it was broken. I still need help getting out of the bath. </p><p><br /></p><p>17th</p><p>Was going to have a peaceful day but no, Lindsay and Jamie-Lee came around. Their dog Suey had her last journey and went to sleep for good. She was sixteen and was well-loved by all who knew her. Rest in peace Suey. </p><p>Lindsay and Jamie-Lee stayed for tea as did Tracy who came around after work. Paul cooked it all, sausages plus tatties and veg, with beans from our garden. I got a phone call to say I have an appointment for physio on 30th August so that will be good. My wrist is quite painful today and hurts when I move it. </p><p><br /></p><p>18th</p><p>Luna is a bit hit-and-miss with her sleeping more miss I think than hit. So not a lot of sleeping going on. my wrist is painful today which does not help.</p><p>Lindsay got a puppy for Jamie-Lee a collie type, quite cute, they have called her Bonnie. </p><p>I got an appointment for my eyes at Pilgrim Hospital at Boston around an hour away. My optician was not happy with my last eye check-up What is wrong with Lincoln? Again as far as I know most things other hospitals have got Lincoln have too, obviously not the specialty ones of course like Nottingham for Newolgery. At least my physio is at Lincoln next week.</p><p><br /></p><p>21st</p><p>It would have bean my Brother's Birthday, and even though it's bean forty nine years I think about him a lot. What would he have done with his life where would he be if he had not had that accident on his bike when he was seventeen.</p><p>I cleaned up today I do the bathroom and kitchen, and Paul did the rest. My wrist hurts a lot and keeps going into spasms all the way up to the elbow. Not where it was broken, but the other side. At least I have physio next week so he will be able to tell me if this is normal or not. I have another bruise come up on my arm not sure how I got it though it's the size of a small marble. The big bruise I have on the same arm I hurt when it got trapped in the door handle is beginning to heal now so not as bad.</p><p><br /></p><p>22nd</p><p>Andy came home to stay after three weeks away mostly with his parents plus a few days in hospital. He was most grateful to his Mum and Dad for all they had done for him. I was at his house feeding Smudge when he came in, eager to try the stairs. He went up and down with no problem. I said to him Don't fall as I will be squashed, he laughed he is not a little chap. Smudge was very pleased to see him purring like mad, as was Andy to see him. When he came across later Andrew heard him and brought out a tub of ice cream for him so he did not have to run for the van. He laughed and said he has had a lot of jokes like that even in the hospital. Pleased you are home Andy and a new house front as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>23rd</p><p>Eye appointment today at the Pilgrim Hospital Boston. Andrew is looking after Luna. Hopefully, she will be good for him. The appointment went well with various tests done on my eyes. All ok saw the Doctor who was called Doctor Guppa. I have seen him before probably when I damaged my eye after the seizures on holiday. He said they tested me or GLAUCOMA, all clear just very dry eyes which I knew about. I was pleased everything was fine. Andrew said Luna was good but very active. I thought she would sleep a bit as not much last night.</p><p><br /></p><p>24th</p><p>Not a good night again I am at a loss for what to do, she simply does not need much sleep at all night or day. CBD oil does not seem to work very much so do I keep trying with a different dose? I think I am going to ring the vet for advice as she is nearly five months old now so she should be more settled surely. Rang them but not much help.</p><p>Hair cut later I really need one as well. Luna next week good luck Maxine same groomer that cut Summer. She is looking forward to meeting Luna. Lliam and Fiona's baby girl has bean born. She is to be called Meadow, I like the name, both are doing well. </p><p><br /></p><p>25th</p><p>Lindsay's pup Bonnie is doing well and likes the pen that Lindsay has borrowed from us. Unlike Luna who hated it and escaped on the first night. Lindsay does have Bonnie in her bedroom though. So I wonder if it would it be different if she was not with her all night. I am hoping to take Luna out later on the common. She loves it and can hardly believe that she has all this to play on. She walks very well on the lead and comes back when called, well mostly, she is still very young and at times unpredictable. </p><p><br /></p><p>26th</p><p>Today would have bean my mum's Birthday, and even though it's been nineteen years I still miss her very much. Later on for tea/supper, Andrew, Paul, and I had an Indian takeaway. Andrew and I usually share a few veggie dishes. Though I'm not a vegetarian, I do not eat a lot of meat. My IBS likes it better that way.</p><p><br /></p><p>27th</p><p>Took Luna out on the common, and met a man with his two dogs that I have known since Summer was a pup as his are the same age. He looked at me strangely. He did not know about Summer at all, and I told him what happened. He was very sorry as he loved her as well as all who knew her did. He also said Luna was a lovely dog. When we got back from the common Luna had her breakfast and then a short sleep. Soon she was ready to go again. </p><p><br /></p><p>28th</p><p>Mary and Rory dog came round to see us. Rory I think was more settled than the last visits. He had bean looking for Summer as he loved her very much. Both he and Luna had a sleep under the table. </p><p>Later, Lindsay, Jay-Jay, Molly, Cory, and Jamie-Lee came around. Cory is three months old now and a big boy. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTd_t6Co_32gklujZxcVSBQnW132vPQsuKiFExCHSfodr6pa-mGAyNWggXJlFiiauC-i8eMlBQbcwSvsjc-cEcFW_2DzCECxo7btG-rB_mqrheqjGO53I2mvz3--MxVYwhJUom9GK45QWaA4NmM0M6SfeBEjWIqzaShGPCdNZ2sGmSl3HeLnslZkBOX2c/s4000/IMG_6814.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTd_t6Co_32gklujZxcVSBQnW132vPQsuKiFExCHSfodr6pa-mGAyNWggXJlFiiauC-i8eMlBQbcwSvsjc-cEcFW_2DzCECxo7btG-rB_mqrheqjGO53I2mvz3--MxVYwhJUom9GK45QWaA4NmM0M6SfeBEjWIqzaShGPCdNZ2sGmSl3HeLnslZkBOX2c/s320/IMG_6814.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Me and Cory.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKBv34dqTvFM5lqJdpsDb-7SEF1Qihn1peFoMhTTu3PcBqyedBmmwE9YKhK_3C4ynp4k5BdDb3j1gdPNNU5BIC-iLu6JNgSN5xbYOaF9cDV-Z0jGtI55uwU6iPOOcxtqrWKjSGyb-ulVt4Vgdmig-70FfCldjF3xNAA5ZLF3UuiL3vmczTTKFQ8ka4LWM/s4000/IMG_6818.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKBv34dqTvFM5lqJdpsDb-7SEF1Qihn1peFoMhTTu3PcBqyedBmmwE9YKhK_3C4ynp4k5BdDb3j1gdPNNU5BIC-iLu6JNgSN5xbYOaF9cDV-Z0jGtI55uwU6iPOOcxtqrWKjSGyb-ulVt4Vgdmig-70FfCldjF3xNAA5ZLF3UuiL3vmczTTKFQ8ka4LWM/s320/IMG_6818.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Molly Jay-Jay and Cory.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisDmgfTFU3M908tZMu9rUVIUosBkmwFVHsbwpNBVuAbTiZppb77a2jfg5QfnSoFG_eCQFmOZY6ebfTPG9bPEn1b69mQAwiXGFsZoUbWQA7cByhc0QNuI_8ybj6fuOD-vf4cN7TE3wZS7kI8NM5Uk4XxKYwkc2K1mzG8PuFHMIQAFhsQwbtd6RSNe8FTFw/s4000/IMG_6819.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisDmgfTFU3M908tZMu9rUVIUosBkmwFVHsbwpNBVuAbTiZppb77a2jfg5QfnSoFG_eCQFmOZY6ebfTPG9bPEn1b69mQAwiXGFsZoUbWQA7cByhc0QNuI_8ybj6fuOD-vf4cN7TE3wZS7kI8NM5Uk4XxKYwkc2K1mzG8PuFHMIQAFhsQwbtd6RSNe8FTFw/s320/IMG_6819.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Jay-Jay and Cory.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxwTAVBdE4BmDm0EtPk7q_YAvOughZu9fIeZxM8a1UoUnZxS1oiiKwjLZncCoo4UKvr6jqq7cgwIxVXmjVXqFoREzhttfq0y7DBDun-F5naCvwNno1vN9MmtaCM1rOmlMmDNlMynhcG86pIqwnjTt6Cs67sDRqjwN0INwYJwTriHKNJrcGr7313n-W9l4/s4000/IMG_6828.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxwTAVBdE4BmDm0EtPk7q_YAvOughZu9fIeZxM8a1UoUnZxS1oiiKwjLZncCoo4UKvr6jqq7cgwIxVXmjVXqFoREzhttfq0y7DBDun-F5naCvwNno1vN9MmtaCM1rOmlMmDNlMynhcG86pIqwnjTt6Cs67sDRqjwN0INwYJwTriHKNJrcGr7313n-W9l4/s320/IMG_6828.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Paul and Cory.</div><p><br /></p><p>Most of them had dinner here. Tracy called in as well later. A busy day as the last of them did not go till around five or six pm. We were meant to be going to see Pam as it was her Birthday. I rang Malcolm (her husband) up and he said to come tomorrow instead. Pam has recently in hospital and was tired now so tomorrow it is. </p><p><br /></p><p>29th</p><p>Took Luna out on the common again, Hopefully, this will be the everyday normal now. We saw Debbie with Bella and later with Kipling. She has three dogs and has three separate walks every day. Later we saw Pam and Malcum both well. Pam is looking well despite having SEPSIS. Malcolm said this was not really made very plain to him. Did she have it or not this depended on who you spoke to. They spent twenty-three hours in A.E. before they had a bed ready for her. Malcolm said the Doctors said it was SEPSIS so why did they not put her on a drip straight away. All around the department posters say SEPSIS KILLS. Lincoln Hospital is so bad; everywhere is now. Anyway, she is doing good now.</p><p><br /></p><p>30th</p><p>Luna's hair cut, she was very good, and somehow managed to get the neck cord around her belly twice. Maxine was very impressed with her. Luna did not like the clippers so Maxine did not use them, just scissors. I think she looks more younger puppy-like now and so sweet. Now you can see her eyes once more and she looks so cheeky. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcvgn8ZHXl_d9dnW801RXIq9JXdQeIb6tDxbkn_EXyRwZvgek4BH3VzSOKhQNtbBWQiOWqS5AAlCjyFw8JAiZseWUDXfbLKPQGMljESGWvRLwCfy3f6TEYxYpuQ4MS17s5W2e_7fpKnmiAmODZYD0-M0PCIXq7kiO0u8BqLNqJbpqLw3Wl4QHxmQnu7dQ/s4000/IMG_6822%20-%20Copy.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcvgn8ZHXl_d9dnW801RXIq9JXdQeIb6tDxbkn_EXyRwZvgek4BH3VzSOKhQNtbBWQiOWqS5AAlCjyFw8JAiZseWUDXfbLKPQGMljESGWvRLwCfy3f6TEYxYpuQ4MS17s5W2e_7fpKnmiAmODZYD0-M0PCIXq7kiO0u8BqLNqJbpqLw3Wl4QHxmQnu7dQ/s320/IMG_6822%20-%20Copy.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcy0prooaB1-dvY6fxJUMMRm3vAdCopzpIqshpPgYugowVAHMTE5k_KJZfNg09FCE9jw0gEZiQQ5ARXabs6JpXS9JRPxbeSNTDDoNN3LrVmsQNAk06C7JuUEQXRC1qO8PMWrVl1DAbvlOx7pffwS6sCgUxARLOv8N4mvh12kBD5aKEn9pOuOmMfS2dHBw/s4000/IMG_6823.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcy0prooaB1-dvY6fxJUMMRm3vAdCopzpIqshpPgYugowVAHMTE5k_KJZfNg09FCE9jw0gEZiQQ5ARXabs6JpXS9JRPxbeSNTDDoNN3LrVmsQNAk06C7JuUEQXRC1qO8PMWrVl1DAbvlOx7pffwS6sCgUxARLOv8N4mvh12kBD5aKEn9pOuOmMfS2dHBw/s320/IMG_6823.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">She is in need of a haircut- before Maxine cut her, very fluffy.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5CDoBbCqUWVT-QOTTNd5qZ1NZAByex6ddUr7B1XByJiKJWzjh5xG6RX9RWVvrYxF11-iW-yiTBHvzgdKRIAz9K38gFFZgSxuKgcQu4gzff1bojBogfASVnVBlXLU73jEQ8P27PmrAomHxgDckH-BXlyOdLtFEyhlXl5zbJtX8Cg1z1_rKSc0IPMVTQfM/s882/wtsMbPry.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="804" data-original-width="882" height="292" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5CDoBbCqUWVT-QOTTNd5qZ1NZAByex6ddUr7B1XByJiKJWzjh5xG6RX9RWVvrYxF11-iW-yiTBHvzgdKRIAz9K38gFFZgSxuKgcQu4gzff1bojBogfASVnVBlXLU73jEQ8P27PmrAomHxgDckH-BXlyOdLtFEyhlXl5zbJtX8Cg1z1_rKSc0IPMVTQfM/s320/wtsMbPry.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUznOQJ14WW5-c1XLLRtucyIMHz-Vw_OgdvuZHorDeP-oTUyQbVD7tiPfBeE6yeyRNcEgdPCW-ytyoLMr9cJupJZMSw2gN3uF0E6Mr1tBtbk4nO83D7kvp0yl8H6BCe7S3V0EsZNy6HQeFel0SLkUkyEHdwk04F8sA9L3F2nmCCApuA63LnaK5b8u6tDE/s4000/2023-09-01%2007.54.54.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="2248" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUznOQJ14WW5-c1XLLRtucyIMHz-Vw_OgdvuZHorDeP-oTUyQbVD7tiPfBeE6yeyRNcEgdPCW-ytyoLMr9cJupJZMSw2gN3uF0E6Mr1tBtbk4nO83D7kvp0yl8H6BCe7S3V0EsZNy6HQeFel0SLkUkyEHdwk04F8sA9L3F2nmCCApuA63LnaK5b8u6tDE/s320/2023-09-01%2007.54.54.jpg" width="180" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8k17iaNX3F7xRFvJkpIdzIOE7T-w7B5JTEzb7bUPxmHGip3EW3xmI81WZr-gre6pDQ1ycRtEHdwDED7yPOk80eAt-ojim6MrKjpkjvtQhFsbKT1BhCX2qxfxVWEL62cjh_ecOqefsWybgKlblkoZfXzgsBYAgOc1aC3zPzLHljCPpsRbhnmkua_GiR3w/s1825/2023-09-02%2006.28.47.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1825" data-original-width="1460" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8k17iaNX3F7xRFvJkpIdzIOE7T-w7B5JTEzb7bUPxmHGip3EW3xmI81WZr-gre6pDQ1ycRtEHdwDED7yPOk80eAt-ojim6MrKjpkjvtQhFsbKT1BhCX2qxfxVWEL62cjh_ecOqefsWybgKlblkoZfXzgsBYAgOc1aC3zPzLHljCPpsRbhnmkua_GiR3w/s320/2023-09-02%2006.28.47.jpg" width="256" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">After Maxine transformed her you can see her face now.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div>Physio at Lincoln I was told everything that is happening to my wrist is ok.

Andrew made her collar and I used an old lead because I thought she would chew it. Luna was good while I was away. I need to leave her completely on her own as part of her growing up.</div><div><br /></div></div><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAknqsKUS6dxyDdNo2dorKh_Tva83wT9vRpnMu46Wy4BLQbG8G7bodmlA_eeLjdesP1JnEuXtTeq8Jxfolrf-kqJhQYOlLfUEvWD-4sL7wcT2KTk1FDzj5iL-wigx3WaxxXM8L738OZhn41z6dnjM8wWvgra0LFo-Xc0We8dF63snxN_FL60q2veQ-a34/s4000/2023-08-24%2009.36.01.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="2248" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAknqsKUS6dxyDdNo2dorKh_Tva83wT9vRpnMu46Wy4BLQbG8G7bodmlA_eeLjdesP1JnEuXtTeq8Jxfolrf-kqJhQYOlLfUEvWD-4sL7wcT2KTk1FDzj5iL-wigx3WaxxXM8L738OZhn41z6dnjM8wWvgra0LFo-Xc0We8dF63snxN_FL60q2veQ-a34/s320/2023-08-24%2009.36.01.jpg" width="180" /></a></p><div style="text-align: center;">Luna waiting in the passageway for me to come home.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNujl84Wn7OnPS_PLKzGDAoCqukNF2VlgOaWX41lGLLWJHbPkXNWpx95tHaR-Qdx2oisEjC5pECaB6ghxM97iW637zpaUVmiEesu1zPqZ_uMUktQPOjlHPRpO5MyDFcJNotTGdaOelPwxtlJvF0GkuUWAJNOFGgHzOFGJ3sT3fCguOJmlVHP5zBcGF51Q/s4000/2023-08-24%2009.36.49.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="2248" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNujl84Wn7OnPS_PLKzGDAoCqukNF2VlgOaWX41lGLLWJHbPkXNWpx95tHaR-Qdx2oisEjC5pECaB6ghxM97iW637zpaUVmiEesu1zPqZ_uMUktQPOjlHPRpO5MyDFcJNotTGdaOelPwxtlJvF0GkuUWAJNOFGgHzOFGJ3sT3fCguOJmlVHP5zBcGF51Q/s320/2023-08-24%2009.36.49.jpg" width="180" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Looking out the front room window to see if I am coming.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p>The end of September already - this year seems to be going very fast.

Luna is tired, she hurt her foot last night and yelped out. Andrew had a look. and thinks she pulled it a bit. She soon recovered and was back to her crazy self.</p><p>Later on, I had an accident, I tripped over the spider base of the computer chair and fell with my left hand flat against the cupboard. I cut my leg and hit my head. I could feel a lump coming up already. My wrist hurt a lot but probably not done too much damage. This was around seven o'clock, I thought I would wait a bit and see how it goes. Well after nearly two hours the pain was getting worse and I was thinking I had done some damage to my wrist as it was swelling up. Up to A and E around nine, and probably a long wait. To start with it looked promising as I had bean X rayed by half nine. That's where it stopped. Paul and I were there five hours, I think this is the longest we have sat together for ages. st. Yes, it was broken just below the thumb and is now very painful. They put on a splint for now. </p><p><br /></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGYp4Q6lsKxb0fOXFHzaLXy3fWKzROxge8DGvryLeUj7LWZwsOpWnmP3tSHQV3njigTMPs939lQ7e0qSvTQalfjnnRuOur3BdyplYlbciZcRw-as3U5z8OLwTCTanWlAEpo9BcKMFbJhxC5dJhESrIBgefdxywKFipOwYj5js82_WMuSAkaAhSA0LTbnU/s4000/2023-07-12%2010.28.50.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="2248" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGYp4Q6lsKxb0fOXFHzaLXy3fWKzROxge8DGvryLeUj7LWZwsOpWnmP3tSHQV3njigTMPs939lQ7e0qSvTQalfjnnRuOur3BdyplYlbciZcRw-as3U5z8OLwTCTanWlAEpo9BcKMFbJhxC5dJhESrIBgefdxywKFipOwYj5js82_WMuSAkaAhSA0LTbnU/s320/2023-07-12%2010.28.50.jpg" width="180" /></a></p></blockquote><p style="text-align: center;">With a splint on my left wrist. Luna helping with the blog dairy.</p><p><br /></p><p>The RSD had kicked in and was causing me pain just about everywhere. We got back from the hospital around five AM. I had taken a lot of extra tablets with little effect. Luna was pleased to see me. Andrew had got her in the shed and she was asleep and happy. She saw me and soon woke up. Licks and kisses all around. Thank you for looking after me Andrew. </p><p> I have moved her basket out of the pen near the TV. Maybe she will settle better tonight. Radio on as well, Radio 1 of course. </p><p><br /></p><p>4th</p><p>A better night with Luna. I did not sleep too much though, a lot of pain around my wrist and shoulder. The bump on my head is quite big as well. I am unable to use my left arm at all. the fingers are swollen and sore there is a lot of bruising around the wrist and fingers. I need help dressing myself too. not able to do much either. </p><p>6th</p><p>Mary and her dog Rory came to see us. Rory was very gentle with her and they both drank out the same dish. Rory still looks for Summer and does not understand where she has gone. I gave him a cuddle and said I miss her too. I think he and Luna will be friends as well. We will never forget Summer she was a beautiful dog loved by everyone who knew her and still is. The pen for Luna has now bean put away. </p><p>Andrew and I took Luna out for her first walk. She was scared of the traffic and started shaking, so Andrew carried her across the road. We went to the park near the common once there Andrew put her down and she had a good sniff around and a wee. I think she enjoyed it, plenty more walks to come and there's the common to explore Luna. </p><p>Luna did not settle at bedtime so I played with her a bit more. She got in her basket and settled down. I always wait a while then go to bed. Tonight she was not happy, I came down to her a few times and settled her again. I decided to leave her a bit to see if she would settle herself. I heard a crash and a yelp. Went down again, I think she had tried to climb the board that stop her from getting out of the room and she fell. I gave her a cuddle then she got back in her basket and this time settled. My pain levels are very high and I have a nerve rash on my shoulders. Ah well, better tomorrow. </p><p><br /></p><p>7th</p><p>Quite a lot of pain today with a lot of bruising to my fingers and wrist all yellow and swollen, very painful. I can take the splint off as it gets very hot. I do not think the splint helps with the pain at all, in fact, makes it worse. I will be going back to the hospital at some point to access my wrist. I have a storm headache and hurt a lot today. I got an appointment later in the post for my wrist on the 14th.</p><p>Lindsay and Jammie-Lee came round, they had bean to see a house that soon they could be living in. The house is not where Lindsay would have liked it. She said the house is big with a good garden back and front. Suey will be pleased as at the moment, Lindsay carries her up two flights of stairs to the flat where they live. I think when they get used to it and make new friends and she will be fine. She is only a few miles away up the hill. Jay-Jay also came around he likes the house too and said it would be lovely for Suey dog. </p><p><br /></p><p>8th</p><p>A storm this morning but it soon passed. Still a lot of extra RSD pain. Paul cleaning up today. I can clean and wipe with one hand. I did the bathroom and kitchen. Not easy but I did it last time when I broke my right wrist. </p><p><br /></p><p>9th</p><p>Planted the rest of the tomatoes in the garden, there is going to be rain soon so they will get bedded in. This is not easy with one hand but I managed it. Seeded some carrots again as the last two batches have not come up. There were near the rhubarb last time so that might have something to do with it. Hopefully, they will come up after a bit of rain ad sun. Paul did gammon plus tatties (potatoes) and veg plus homegrown broad beans by Andrew they were very nice.</p><p><br /></p><p>10th </p><p>Going into town today to get Lindsay something for her Birthday. I did quite well mostly clothes plus a pair of trainers. When I got back Luna did not come to the door as usual or bark if she is not able to get to the door. (board across to stop her) Paul said she was asleep but he thought she was not too well. When she saw me she just lifted up her head and a slight wag of her tail. When she woke up properly I took her out for a wee, she did not do one though and was a bit wobbly on her feet. Back in her basket and sleep again a bit strange but she did not settle well last night. When she woke again her head was floppy, her legs in spasms and she could not stand. Her eyes were rolling and she did not seem to know where she was. Paul rang the vet and they said to take her straight to Market Razen vets hospital. </p><p>We were very worried about her, Andrew sat in the back with me with Luna on his knee, the vet we saw was lovely. She rang through the tests they were going to do, just like Summers I broke down were we going to lose Luna too? We had to leave her there and was rushed through to have a drip put in. They thought she had ingested something but were not really sure. The bill was going to be over eight hundred pounds. On our first visit to the vets for her injection we took up the free insurance for a month. This ends Friday 14th, so all we had to pay was one hundred pounds. The vet said they would ring us if any change or anything to tell us. No one rang us overnight so was this good news?</p><p><br /></p><p>11th</p><p>Paul phoned the vet mid-morning and she was alright. The vet said the blood tests and scans showed up nothing so she thought she had eaten something that made her ill. The vet said they would bring her back to the Lincoln vet so we could pick her up from there. This was very nice of them as the Market Rasen hospital is a half hour away. When we all went to pick her up the reception desk said oh not Luna they wanted to keep her as she is so lovely. When the nurse brought her out she was just about her usual self. How relieved were we? She just looked like she was yesterday morning eyes bright legs going all over the place and kisses all around. I was so happy and relieved. Once home she had a wee and a sleep. So good she was home I really did not think we would not be doing that. </p><p><br /></p><p>12th </p><p>Happy Birthday, Lindsay, hope you have a good day see you tomorrow.</p><p>Luna is just about back to normal but tired. Just like the one I have on my left wrist, she's got a bandage on her left front leg from where her drip was inserted.</p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRD65uJd015CbF-f0iR1AxjHzoO-V8AC_VS33jjuyY176g1SH5Y8SzoDklTlMKAOJxMzGr9TNgfoX0xkOAf7_dWqA8FsbEyX3jBQuLWRQSTRZNompbreQIGIwaMXIC5RpO_pAmh8JEL35NutQ1MCkoUJz3tJIHu7BDbURiM2OryS5Ei83R7KdpJo-2ovs/s1024/9T17v48t.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="768" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRD65uJd015CbF-f0iR1AxjHzoO-V8AC_VS33jjuyY176g1SH5Y8SzoDklTlMKAOJxMzGr9TNgfoX0xkOAf7_dWqA8FsbEyX3jBQuLWRQSTRZNompbreQIGIwaMXIC5RpO_pAmh8JEL35NutQ1MCkoUJz3tJIHu7BDbURiM2OryS5Ei83R7KdpJo-2ovs/s320/9T17v48t.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">She seems to be recovering fine...</div><p></p><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihF9L1eIF_7JjbyCMqyMEeicgSXnNxi4oFhjGrQaG8uE-alh6D4V8zxpYMQqSDI9YUwS_rWYqCFQJsxo7fy0X7CmRU8RAmvbdpWnezW3OBP163OxrwPWECAVulFThaYbyLjbeB7hWrh2NFcv2PWIHqnfbVIcrOKQKE3sQc9kuaGo8pfOqijjfWHie5kvM/s4000/2023-08-02%2008.14.37.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2248" data-original-width="4000" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihF9L1eIF_7JjbyCMqyMEeicgSXnNxi4oFhjGrQaG8uE-alh6D4V8zxpYMQqSDI9YUwS_rWYqCFQJsxo7fy0X7CmRU8RAmvbdpWnezW3OBP163OxrwPWECAVulFThaYbyLjbeB7hWrh2NFcv2PWIHqnfbVIcrOKQKE3sQc9kuaGo8pfOqijjfWHie5kvM/s320/2023-08-02%2008.14.37.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtnA5fxU22MY81RFLZfR_Dz7AAQyBs-NeTE0F_VbQzkvtqeQvxUD62OlPeFRJAA-hPwvpz4ZEbvUgPRbaKTYedg8DIc50R4NWqfvBzFnqdxL0hwxD4IEasKAjoE8MunivG2gHcXYaJNw3-ygwOVCo00pNDNAflNLI29gQZvZ1pgbFGuExpqeiDol79inc/s4000/2023-08-02%2008.14.27.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2248" data-original-width="4000" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtnA5fxU22MY81RFLZfR_Dz7AAQyBs-NeTE0F_VbQzkvtqeQvxUD62OlPeFRJAA-hPwvpz4ZEbvUgPRbaKTYedg8DIc50R4NWqfvBzFnqdxL0hwxD4IEasKAjoE8MunivG2gHcXYaJNw3-ygwOVCo00pNDNAflNLI29gQZvZ1pgbFGuExpqeiDol79inc/s320/2023-08-02%2008.14.27.jpg" width="320" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">She loves to lay on her back when asleep.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p>My wrist hurts a lot today I think the support I have on is not good for it.

Luna was sick again but fine after, a bit worrying though. When I take her out for a wee she is hard to see in the dark we have an outside light but there are loads of dark corners. Sometimes I lose her and she gives me the run around and wants me to chase her. Not a good game at three or four early morning. She nips upstairs if she gets the chance, I found her halfway up Andrew's stairs earlier today. Andrew is on the second flight so a long way for her to go. She is fine going up but comes down too fast so she can fall. I have said be for I do not want her going upstairs at all not safe for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>17th</p><p>Luna had a better night only five hours but better than I have bean having. She does not like beaning on her own.</p><p>Radio 1 the radio station I listen to, is doing a game/challenge where all of their presenters/DJ's are hiding and it's up to Greg, one of the main DJs to find them. They can be anywhere and they will post clues on the internet. Throughout the week two of the DJS were found in Spain, one was in an Anne Summer shop in the UK, and Greg went in to find her. Another two were found in Amsterdam. </p><p>Lindsay got the keys to her house that the council have given her to rent. The place is not where she wanted to be but she has to take it. Paul has bean inside and said it will be a good house when decorated. There is a big garden so good for Suey dog who has bean carried up two flights of stairs to their flat for the last few months. On a good bus route and near a supermarket. </p><p><br /></p><p>19th</p><p>Up around ten late for me, my wrist was so painful in the night and I did not sleep much. I am so bored, I still can not knit or crochet yet as turning my wrist is so painful. I think it's better in the plaster but it feels tight and still quite painful. At night time after tiring Luna out I told her bedtime and she went in her basket. I did not hear her crying so she must have settled and gone to sleep. I think I must have settled quick as well so tired. </p><p><br /></p><p>20th</p><p>Up early as Paul volunteering at the hospital again just be for eight am. Luna was very pleased to see me and pounced on me straight away. I sat with her for a while with a cup of tea. Squidgy and Andy came round later both for a cup of tea/coffee. I now can do a few things easier, washing up with one hand without getting the plaster wet, putting things in the oven, and drying up some things. My right hand is not the best and can drop things at times. I am going to do one of my many puzzles at some point. Someone will have to carry the board though for me. I keep it under the settle in the front room.</p><p><br /></p><p>21st </p><p>Only two of the DJS are still in hiding and have to be found by midday or Radio 1 goes off the air. Jordon North is one of the last two to be found in Spain. Now only Molly King to find. Apparently, she is in a boat somewhere close. At last, they have a positive lead on her, somewhere near the Isle of White where they are broadcasting from. Greg went to get on a boat with the harbour master Jenny, but red tape (regulations) and a ferry held him up.</p><p>Greg had to sign a paper for insurance purposes and had to wait for it. It also took him a surprisingly long time to put on a life jacket. Time was ticking by, and at last, they were off - only to be held up by a very large ferry, all they could was wait with the minutes ticking by. Charlie and Matt in the studio could see the boat. Greg and Jenny set off going the wrong way because that's the way boats had to go, a quick turn round further out, and they were off at a snail's pace because of restrictions near the harbour.</p><p>Further away from the harbour, they sped up but it was too late. Radio 1 went off the air for over five minutes, they had lost the game by around ten minutes. They were all gutted, after around five minutes the radio came back to life and they were back on, very deflated but they had Molly King (who used to be in the Saturday's pop group from 2207 to 2015). I think it was a good game and the DJS seemed to enjoy it, some more than others. </p><p><br /></p><p>22nd</p><p>Rain 15C temperature - not cold though, but not Summer weather either. The continent is roasting at very high temperatures. We have rain for the next week at least. Luna does not really like the rain and does not want to go out to the toilet. She will have to get used to it as we have a lot of rain, especially in the winter. </p><p><br /></p><p>23rd</p><p>Paul went out for his dinner today to try the restaurant where his group IA goes for their dinners on a regular basis. The restaurant has got new owners so they are trying it out to see if they still go there or somewhere else. This was going to be just me and Paul going then there were nine of us from IA. Just too many people and too much noise for me so I did not go. </p><p>Luna if you do not watch her and leave the door open will go up the stairs at lightning speed. I was speaking to Andrew through the intercom and she heard him, door open, and shot up the stairs even giving me a look through the banisters. When I got up there she was on Andrews's stairs waiting for him to come down. Come on miss downstairs you go. She can get up but not down. I carry her and she sits to wait for Andrew. </p><p><br /></p><p>24th</p><p>Paul is out today helping Lindsay move her things to her new house. The house is hers now not a temporary one like the one she just left. The house needs a lot of decorating but that will get done bit by bit however now at least she has a house more suited to her family.</p><p>I have tried again to crochet again, but, the pain when I turn my wrist is too just much. Knitting is also a no-no. Luna came in after being outside in the rain. While I towelled her dry she twisted around and took my plastered arm with her. This caused a lot of pain that lasted a long time. </p><p>Luna is still not sleeping well at night, as soon as I leave her she barks and cries most nights. I have bean thinking about this a lot and decided to try CBD oil on her starting tonight. This will just relax her and hopefully, she will settle better. I am getting to the point where I will try anything as my sleep is getting less and less. Later I gave he a tiny bit of CDB oil, I dipped my fingers in the jar and let her lick them. She liked the taste, so I sat with her to see if there was any change. Yes, she was not as stressed and settled down and cuddled up next to me. I thought as soon as I leave her she will cry, No she did not and slept all night. Well from around three AM to about eight AM. This was a lot better than the last few weeks was it a fluke? She was very tired, wait and see, only time will tell. Paul usually gets up first to see her, Sometimes she wakes us up, and sometimes Paul wakes her up. </p><p><br /></p><p>25th</p><p>A dry day, washing out what I did last night. Paul puts the washing as I can not. I can get it in though. My arm is less painful after it got twisted yesterday while drying Luna's. My fingers and thumb are swollen. Luna had bean on the garden, came in with mucky feet, and before I could dry her she jumped up on my chair, that has a white blanket on it. Also, my t-shirt was covered in paw prints again a white one. She is very fluffy and her paws get coved in the muck and wet. Ok if I get to her at the door, and can dry her paws but we usually have the back door open most of the time when warm enough so she comes in and out as she wants. Night time did the same as last night with the CBD and she settled again. Hopefully, this is it and I can get a few hours of sleep. Most of you will know I do not sleep much as I have insomnia. It can be very hard up and down the stairs every few minutes so hopefully the CBD is the answer.</p><p><br /></p><p>26th</p><p>A rare day out today well, a few hours in the afternoon to Jenny's house. Today is her Birthday, Happy Birthday Jenny. Had a nice chat and even an eclair cake with our cup of tea. I have not bean to Jennys for a long time. After Summer passed away, I felt like I could not go anywhere outside the house even into town. I still feel a bit like that as well. The afternoon was lovely Jenny, thank you. She also liked your presents of chocolates and a dove shower set. </p><p><br /></p><p>27th</p><p>Paul Volunteering at the hospital so an early start up at eight AM. Luna slept till Paul got up, around five hours, so not too bad. Very humid today 89%, my head feels like it's going to explode, Andrew feels the same way. Not really that hot but oh so heavy and sticky.</p><p><br /></p><p>28th</p><p>Another humid day. Washing out only one load of whites today. Dried well and did not rain like the weatherman said. In fact, it was quite a nice day with a lot of sunshine. Luna had a good night, four to five hours, so we both feel refreshed. Looks like the CBD oil is working it has not affected her stomach either like giving her the runs. Paul bought me some flowers when he went shopping. Thank you very much.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2x2LMVfUXl4reDUDhIrAqbMU8w1cXNIvS_sEzaQH2CTnEPvlobllM-kL9bDER15_k3o4NUrCGm_lzeyJkO2TWzMw49IB9IBdQYsN6jGUgdp3PXBwzRSo6xfjtmWNuLXZ8_eJjj0Ny6GVTNWb4CQYewlzBOT2aVOYMQC-RO2yG1FRHenvj3phOmdVzIzM/s3264/IMG_8061.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2x2LMVfUXl4reDUDhIrAqbMU8w1cXNIvS_sEzaQH2CTnEPvlobllM-kL9bDER15_k3o4NUrCGm_lzeyJkO2TWzMw49IB9IBdQYsN6jGUgdp3PXBwzRSo6xfjtmWNuLXZ8_eJjj0Ny6GVTNWb4CQYewlzBOT2aVOYMQC-RO2yG1FRHenvj3phOmdVzIzM/s320/IMG_8061.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdwBUDrAWlEUPO7N98EVXdfgaTNEuvQMlcMhIRCnRpFVurC38WlhgLah1G4L84lqAp_WzZ8cYg7XKIP0kUYm0RSypC4AUI5oX9WsKVCL6HCRPOXWzRYzBGRy9hTTl4rIffnvo6-GeSEBTHHBLQ4zr0tKDh9DJUaqwkD3vaOiVQZRu7xixK_30_UjGnYj4/s3264/IMG_8062.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdwBUDrAWlEUPO7N98EVXdfgaTNEuvQMlcMhIRCnRpFVurC38WlhgLah1G4L84lqAp_WzZ8cYg7XKIP0kUYm0RSypC4AUI5oX9WsKVCL6HCRPOXWzRYzBGRy9hTTl4rIffnvo6-GeSEBTHHBLQ4zr0tKDh9DJUaqwkD3vaOiVQZRu7xixK_30_UjGnYj4/s320/IMG_8062.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Flowers from Paul.</div><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p>29th</p><p>My friend Angela came to see us, I have not seen her for quite a while, she bought me some roses, so kind of her.

Today is Wayne's Birthday, hope you have a good day Wayne. He is here for a short visit. His Cat has not bean well so he does not want to leave him too long. They got here around one-ish. Paul did wraps for dinner, plus a few chips he just put everything on the table and everyone helped themselves. Lindsay and Jamie-Lee are here as well. </p><p>The day went too fast and soon it was time for Wayne and Kayleigh to go home. Paul is taking them to the train station at Newark where he picked them up from earlier. Just as they were going out the door, Andy from across the road stood there. He had run for the ice cream van and he thinks he might have snapped a tendon in his lower leg. He wanted Paul to take him to the hospital. He said he would when he takes Lindsay and Jamie-Lee home as it's not far from her house. He would be back in about an hour plus. Andy sat in my chair with his leg up eating his ice cream. He said the man gave him a bigger one because he had hurt his leg. Paul got back and took Andy to the hospital, and Lindsay and Jamie-Lee home. Andy said he would keep us updated when he sees someone probably in for a long wait.</p><p><br /></p><p>31st</p><p>Andy has a partial tear of his Achilles heal and needs an operation today. I am looking after his cat smudge, feeding him, and a few cuddles too. All the best Andy hope it goes well. </p><p>My month has got better as it went on apart from my arm that is. Luna I think will sleep now but not much she is so active. Still seems a bit strange with another dog here. She will not replace Summer but helps with the healing. She is so different to Summer as well. Summer was one in a million as the vet said. So a hard act to follow. </p><p>All the very best to you where ever you are, very hot or not so hot in Uk. Love Gill. </p><p><br /></p></div>Gill Pyrahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16554599037210034283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1255014379495295812.post-27523335207958722352023-06-30T20:07:00.000+01:002023-07-05T20:08:11.934+01:00June<p>June 1st</p><p>Luna has been sleepy today. I have bean cleaning up downstairs, not easy with a little pup helping me.</p><p>She is still going out for wees and poos having very few accidents in the house. You have to watch her all the time as she does not get much warning that she wants to go. On the whole, she is doing very well. She can jump quite high now and loves going into next doors garden Karol's. He is going back to his home in Poland very soon so we will have someone new next door. The house is going to be sold so it could be anyone. It has bean a rented property for the last twenty years.</p><p>I feel hot and cold today and my pain levels are high. My joints feel on fire and hurt a lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>2nd</p><p>Lindsay and Jamie-Lee came around on their bikes. Jamie-Lee played with Luna and they were both tired.

This is the first time he and Mary will have met Luna. Poor dog I feel for him as he still looks for Summer and can not understand where she is. I know mate I miss her as well very much. I gave him a big hug and cuddle. He was very gentle with Luna and they got on well. Later on, I lost Luna I went under the stairs and thought Luna followed me. There is an under-the-floorboard gap and I thought she had gone under there. No, she was not but, I could hear her. She was not under the stairs but had gone up them. Andrew was coming down and saw her going up.</p><p> I do not want her upstairs as it could be dangerous. So she will be told to get down by everyone. Some people have dogs in their bedrooms and even in bed. If that works for you that's good, but not for me. No other dogs that we have had went upstairs unless they were carried like to see me when I am I'll in bed.</p><p><br /></p><p>5th</p><p>Sweeping up outside today there is a lot of sawdust from where Paul has bean sawing wood for the fire pit. With it beaning windy there is sawdust all over the path and patio. We need rain to wash the dust away I will hose pipe it down. Paul has been painting a wall in the garden. The bit next to the wall is to be Andrew and my new veg garden, it used to be tubs with flowers in it. </p><p><br /></p><p>7th </p><p>Digging over the new veg plot, there are a lot of stones and excess concrete under the soil so that needs to be dug up or pulled up whichever it takes. Hard going to start with, but easier over the second half. Andrew and I are putting in a lot of the things that would have gone in the greenhouse. We might still be able to keep it there depending on the new people. I hope we can and the bit where Andrew had his tobacco plants too.</p><p><br /></p><p>8th</p><p>Debbie came round to bring some magazines and to see Luna, she loves her and says she is very preety. Debbie spent a long time with Luna on her knee just cuddling her. In the afternoon Andrew and I put up the nets for the peas and beans. These have bean growing in the greenhouse well some have, but the rest will be seeded straight in the ground. We get a lot of sun so they will soon grow. Luna was trying to help but was not. Every time she got a stone and we tried to take it off her, she ran around in circles almost making it impossible to get her. Everything took a long time. The afternoon was very hot as well. One thing I have noticed with Luna is, even after running around she does not pant at all. The heat so far does not affect her apart from making her tired </p><p><br /></p><p>9th</p><p>Not a very good night for me in fact a very bad night. I did not take my nighttime tablets so I went into withdrawal. Sweating hot cold a lot of pain too. My body needed MORPHINE and was saying give me it. </p><p><br /></p><p>11th</p><p>Very humid and heavy today. The pressure I think is high, at 11 am the temperature was 23C. This is not good for me as pain as well. The weather has bean very nice but a bit too hot as it looks like there is more to come, with no rain as such. </p><p><br /></p><p>12th</p><p>Another nice day, but so humid got to 29C mid-afternoon.I am cleaning up very hot and sweaty. According to the weather, it might rain or it might not. </p><p>Ness who used to live next door came to Round to see use not seen her for a while. We had a good chat and a cup of tea or two. Next time she said I will have to go there to see their new bungalow.</p><p><br /></p><p>13th</p><p>Another hot day but a bit more breeze. Rung up the vets and registered. This is a new vet from the one Summer had, also a lot closer too. Luna will have her second injection and in ten day's time she will be able to go out for a walk.</p><p>In town today having my eyes tested. I need two pairs of glasses one for reading and a pair for long distances. £150 cost, got the second pair at half price so that helped a lot. My left eye is not very good so I need to see a specialist. I did not leave there till 4.40pm, I got there at 3.15pm. I had many tests and scans done. </p><p><br /></p><p>14th</p><p>Paul is cleaning the carpet in the dining room as it's very mucky. I know it will dry quickly as hot again with a breeze. We will be getting another one soon, but not till Luna is completely house-trained. This one is not very old but the back has separated from the pile. </p><p><br /></p><p>15th</p><p>Very hot I am doing the ironing sweating like mad. There are sheets today as well as a quilt cover. Plus shirts and trousers. Took around an hour and a half. I had to sit down afterwards. </p><p>Luna is at the vet today for her injection and check-up. She had her nails clipped and her second injection. In around ten days' time, she will be allowed out. Andrew is making her a collar. Her neck size is seven inches at the moment. Next week I have to weigh her for her flea stuff. When we came back from the vet Luna had a sleep and did not seem affected by her injection, but she might be later.</p><p><br /></p><p>17th</p><p>A bit more cloudy day and a bit cooler. Andrew's friend Roberto is here today from the Neverland's stopping for a week. I just need to finish off his room and take a few things out. He stayed in this room last year and said he was very comfortable. Roberto arrived around two o'clock, and Andrew went to meet him at the station. We had an Indian takeaway and everyone enjoyed it. </p><p><br /></p><p>18th</p><p>Very humid today; my head is booming. Lindsay and Jamie-Lee came here as it was Father's Day. Lindsay cooked tea for Jamie -Lee she did not have any. We had tea a bit later so Jamie-Lee was eating on her own. Very heavy later a bit of rain came down with thunder and a few flashes of thunder. Luna stood at the door and looked out as if to say what's this she had never seen rain before. After the rain, it did feel a bit cooler.</p><p><br /></p><p>19th</p><p>Not feeling the best today heavy air hot and very still. Did two lots of washing, it dried very well. With the rain yesterday the garden looks a lot better and not as dry. Luna was a bit excited at bedtime so did not settle well. I came down to her and she settled after a cuddle I think she was over-tired.</p><p>I did not have a good night, I kept waking up in pain in my legs.</p><p><br /></p><p>20th</p><p>It's a wet start not said that for a long time, the air was sweet and cool. Going into town today to get a few bits for Andrew's Birthday. Roberto walked down with me and we did not get wet at all. The rain held off till we got back home. Did alright in town but did not get shoes, I will order them online. He is getting BB guns plus the bits that you need to use them.</p><p><br /></p><p>21st </p><p>Happy birthday Andrew hope you have a good day, One of the guns might need to go back and it seems it does not seem to fit together right. The other one was working well and Andrew and Roberto had fun shooting targets and tin cans. Andrew has sent the online shop an email. We had a Mexican meal for tea very good, wish I had more taste to enjoy it better. I still like Chinese food. </p><p>23rd</p><p>Paul. has taken Roberto to the airport in Birmingham to go back to. Amsterdam he said he had a good time here but was ready to go home. He was missing his wife and his cat. On his way back he will pick up the flea tablet for Luna. Paul got back all well at the Airport. He got the flea tablet for £20.00 for one I will be finding some other place of getting this. The vet says she needs one every month.</p><p>24th</p><p>Writing this Blog today, I had not done any at all so it was nearly a full month's at one go. Karol from next door is going home to Poland this weekend so Paul asked him round for a Chinese meal tonight. He did not come, so probably busy saying goodbye to one of his mates. Luna has bean asleep a lot today as it's hot and humid. 27C at six o'clock. </p><p><br /></p><p>25th</p><p>26C at 11 am and getting hotter. I told Paul it was a salad for tea, no way am I having the oven on today. Later the temperature rose to 30-31C the hottest day so far this year. Very humid and heavy my head really hurts and I feel very tired. I picked up my new glasses, both pairs were ok but might need a bit more adjustment later on. We had rain showers in the evening. </p><p><br /></p><p>26th</p><p>A bit cooler today with more cloud. Doing a bit in the garden and sewing up the 4ply cardigan I have made. Just the pink one to make now that's in DK (double knit) wool so a bit faster, well twice as fast as twice as thick wool. Karol left for Poland early this morning he and his cousin are travelling in a big van with all the things he is taking back to Poland. Across on the ferry then driving till they get there. Good luck Karol in whatever you do there. He will let us know when he gets home. Not sure who will have the house next as it going up for sale. We have lived here forty-five years and always had good neighbours, so who will be next? Will I be able to keep the greenhouse in their garden or have to remove it? Only time will tell. The same with the back of us that has always been a garage car park is going to be built up soon as an old people residence. </p><p><br /></p><p>27th</p><p>Cleaning up downstairs, trying to get all the flies off the ceiling and coving, the ones that come in at night, there are loads of them in the corners. I used the vacuum to suck them up a warm job it was, all done now. I have started doing a bit of the pink cardigan going well pattern is easy too. I can only do it if Luna is asleep or playing otherwise she gets the wool. Karol sent Paul a message that he had arrived home safely. </p><p><br /></p><p>28th</p><p>I am up first today as Luna was crying. Not a long time in bed, four hours. Very heavy air today had a bad head for quite a few days now, dizzy at times too. We need a storm to clear the air. I made a spaghetti bolognese for tea, and Paul said it was good, I still have not got my taste back yet, some things I can sort of feel on my tongue others nothing. </p><p>Luna did not settle well the past few nights she has not bean the best. I went to bed at five. Even then she was not happy. She was a bit sick earlier so she could have bean a bit hungry. Paul went down and took her out for a wee, he gave her a few biscuits well. She settled after. I had to be up around eight as Paul was volunteering at the hospital and had to leave soon after eight. Another very short night. Hopefully, she will soon settle at night. </p><p>House training is very good she knows to go out and does so, she will sit and lie down when asked. Clever girl Luna. Jamie-Lee can get her to do things as well. Luna likes children so when we take her out, next week. She will be near the park so there should be someone there to fuss her.</p><p>29th</p><p>Quite a bit cooler around 22 C at the highest today so quite a drop from yesterday, cooler air too. My clothes airer/line broke today and snapped halfway across the bottom. I held it up with the patio table but that did not last for long, broke off completely. In the end Andrew and I used the wrought iron umbrella stand. That worked well even when it got windy. Paul is getting a new airer today as we knew it was getting done for. The last few times I have used it, it's bean very wobbly. Paul came home with the new one which he will fit soon.</p><p><br /></p><p>30th</p><p>Paul put up the washline/airer so all go again. A cooler day feels quite chilly to me. cleaning up but took longer as Luna was helping. After a while, she went to sleep so I was able to finish off. When I washed the floor she was hanging on to the mop. I had to pass her on to Andrew as I thought she would get hurt because she would let go of the mop and go flying across the kitchen I thought she would end up hurting herself. All done time to sit down, the Radio 1 charts are on. The charts are where you find out where the pop hits are at the moment. I have listened to this since I was around twelve or thirteen on Radio 1. </p><p>Things in the garden are looking good and after the rain, have grown a lot. My tomatoes in the greenhouse are still not very big so will be late, very late. </p><p>Well, another month has gone by and this one went very quick. Luna has settled in very well. I miss Summer a lot and wish she was still here. Luna is a little friend for me and company for the times I am on my own. Best wishes to you all and hope things are good with you all. </p><p>Love Gill. x </p><p>.</p>Gill Pyrahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16554599037210034283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1255014379495295812.post-42478923266565888882023-05-31T10:14:00.003+01:002023-06-07T19:16:21.181+01:00May.<p>May 2nd</p><p>Cleaning up downstairs then a bit more knitting. I have a headache today, so I will rest a bit if I can. Andrew looks a bit better than he did but still looks all in. He still aches a lot and is quite weak. Lindsay and Jamie-lee are still testing positive for covid. </p><p><br /></p><p>3rd</p><p>Did Aprils Blog and published it, Andrew usually checks it but he is not able to even think straight at the moment. He is improving but slowly. Lindsay rang and said both she and Jamie-Lee are now clear of covid. Suey is doing very well also. At sixteen years old she is doing brilliantly. Lindsay is carrying her up the two flights of stairs so a bit of a pain for her. She is not going out for wees as much now, so only a few trips up and down the stairs. Suey is a very calm and good girl, she will listen to Lindsay and help her by staying still while being carried.</p><p><br /></p><p>4th</p><p>This is what I got Jay-Jay and Molly for baby Cory for his Birthday present. The jacket is the second size properly around three-six months. Might fit him sooner as he is bigger than average. </p><p style="text-align: center;">The sloth plays music and there is a light for sleep time. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcURrvjYzD05cLi4LQB-KK396w4WX-fdkfqHWdAGAoCmnbECz95kBeOHNAnKClvqZt_o1LAH9CHw4NzLeIe1Ez8cTT1_wkAD8YFsFymQlP3M3e2YeGn43nGDharAMYwmWU6_5pn7p_EfYJE-Yc8fDHhSASkLdadZTKD63pC4MRWWEP3EqeDA_qF-Gx/s3264/IMG_8025.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcURrvjYzD05cLi4LQB-KK396w4WX-fdkfqHWdAGAoCmnbECz95kBeOHNAnKClvqZt_o1LAH9CHw4NzLeIe1Ez8cTT1_wkAD8YFsFymQlP3M3e2YeGn43nGDharAMYwmWU6_5pn7p_EfYJE-Yc8fDHhSASkLdadZTKD63pC4MRWWEP3EqeDA_qF-Gx/s320/IMG_8025.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZRVTb92QOkziXSD7C1AGARBjoTOfgtqYlHOieihhBAnlpOBv_dZIG6Rgceu2tHUiMG44wc7xkbOAEMpvZRp7nnoBYUyCxrw934Nulf2-2VHLRgIHa5tdXXhGUT6rN0H4_m5Kw3EUXzKRrLp3w0oGo6zEJDnH0lL2_toCePjNmQwaBXkilB52YF8E5/s3264/IMG_8030.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZRVTb92QOkziXSD7C1AGARBjoTOfgtqYlHOieihhBAnlpOBv_dZIG6Rgceu2tHUiMG44wc7xkbOAEMpvZRp7nnoBYUyCxrw934Nulf2-2VHLRgIHa5tdXXhGUT6rN0H4_m5Kw3EUXzKRrLp3w0oGo6zEJDnH0lL2_toCePjNmQwaBXkilB52YF8E5/s320/IMG_8030.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7zd9TOXRsx_gMTw828x6VTeMH95FL7zYwGESwDJY-iFqc_UFcM4NmTAM50wkUq44KC5gDNoQvJjp2tXPHtbMFLiWD8bIqjkFwdejcUz1KSWZqETdjDiRJOfA7PQ_wirasJwLSFN96KLgx_Z-NE5ePqWAFLn50IzvnkdUvKwJ1cIngH80KpfaP7RV0/s3264/IMG_8031.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7zd9TOXRsx_gMTw828x6VTeMH95FL7zYwGESwDJY-iFqc_UFcM4NmTAM50wkUq44KC5gDNoQvJjp2tXPHtbMFLiWD8bIqjkFwdejcUz1KSWZqETdjDiRJOfA7PQ_wirasJwLSFN96KLgx_Z-NE5ePqWAFLn50IzvnkdUvKwJ1cIngH80KpfaP7RV0/s320/IMG_8031.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">The little jacket I made.</div><p><br /></p><p>I am not coping too well at the moment thinking about Summer and missing her so much. When anything tragic happens you need someone to blame and at the moment that's me. Everyone is saying get another dog, I think I need a bit more time or do I? </p><p>5th</p><p> I am looking after Andy's cat Smudge, for the long weekend, while he is at his parents. He will be back Monday afternoon. There is another cat that he feeds, but not seen him yet though. Smudge is very loving and likes a lot of attention if he does not get it he will swipe you. </p><p>6th</p><p>Watched a bit of the King's Coronation. I am not a big Royal fan, but I do like to see the Children. Not a very good day so a lot of the air display was not done. The Red Arrows did a bit and some helicopters went over. The sky was thick with clouds and was raining most of the time. Shame as that would have bean the best bit of the day. We live a few miles from Waddington where the Red Arrows are stationed so see them practising a lot and hear them, the sound is very loud. Woke Andrew up a few times and he was not happy as he felt so ill. They should calm down till the next show. I saw the other cat at Andy's a big black and white one he has called Seefur. Still a bit scared of me but stayed in. I think he was hungry and watched me do their food. </p><p><br /></p><p>7th</p><p>A hot day yes-- hot 21C in the mid-afternoon, pity it was not like this yesterday for the King's Coronation. Very warm bit humid though and gave me a heavy headache, normal for me. I am usually in pain somewhere but there are a lot worse off than me. A lot of that is down to me pushing myself in every way, so the RSD did not grip me any further. There is a saying in RSD- "USE IT OR LOSE IT". I think that is why so many people get worse. They cannot cope with the pain and take more and more tablets to the stage where they hardly know what day it is, never mind exercise. I know because I was in that trap as well. Bit by bit I increased my movements and knocked down the MORPHINE. This was hell, and the pain obviously went up, But I persevered and the RSD backed off a little. Bit by bit I had a life back. Someone who came to see me could not believe that I was sitting on the floor playing with Summer. He said he had never seen me like this before and I looked so much more with it. Must have bean a good day. A lot of RSD sufferers find this very hard to do and believe me it's tough. Even now I go through extreme pain, but a lot of the time just keep it to myself.</p><p>Andy messaged Paul to say his Dad had Covid hopefully he has not got it.</p><p><br /></p><p>8th</p><p>Going to have an easy day as I feel so drained. My eyes are so dry and sore. My eyelid sticks to my eye. I keep putting in drops but the relief is very short. I did a bit more knitting and not much else today apart from doing tea.</p><p><br /></p><p>9th</p><p>I rang up the lady Helen whom we got Summer from as a Pup, to see if she knew of any pups that are for sale. She said not at the moment but she would ask around. I had a long conversation with Maxine the groomer who used to cut in Summer. She said what sort of pup are you thinking about? I said a cavapoo was one I had looked into and seemed a good choice. Maxine said it was an excellent choice, but to get it vet checked. A bit later in the day Helen phoned up and said a relation of hers had some cavapoo pups, she was not sure if they were reserved or not. She said she would ring me back to let me know. </p><p><br /></p><p>10th</p><p>Hair cut today- badly needed this, my fringe was halfway down my nose and I had bean sweeping it to the side. Looked good as usual after the trim, it's so simple for me to have my hair done at home. Less noise and no waiting; so good allround and cheaper too. Ten pounds (plus a tip) for a trim well a bit more than a trim today. Made a beef curry for tea from the beef joint we had a few days ago. Very good - spicy too, my taste is not fully back yet. but Paul said it was very good and tasty. I can feel spice and strong flavours on my tongue, but not much more.</p><p><br /></p><p>12th</p><p>Washing out and drying well. Andy came round and asked me to look after his cats. He is at his parents as Monday is his birthday. He will be back Wednesday. Went for a walk with Andrew as he feels a lot better now and needs to move about more as his legs are very stiff and tight. We walked to the park gates then turned around and came back. He did well for the first big walk since being ill. We had a short walk yesterday. We all think he had Covid; a bad dose of it too. All mostly recovered but still very tired. We were not home long then I walked to the doctor for my B12 injection. Not too bad this time but still hurt for the rest of the day. The nurse asked if they are as painful as most people said they were. I said yes they are, mine can hurt for quite a few days but at other times only the same day. Some people say it stings as well as pain. Mine is mostly the pain but can sting sometimes.</p><p>13th</p><p>Rung Helen up to see if she had heard anything about the pups that a relation had. I had to leave a message as no answer. I am feeling a bit lost at the moment and think it's time for another little friend. Fed Andy's cats Smudge was there so was Seefur I think he thought it was Andy at the sink, it was not till turned round and saw it was me that he realized. He did not run off though I think they both were hungry. I phoned up about a little Cavapoo pup, a little girl black chocolate, white, and so very pretty. Not ready to leave the mum yet around ten days time I think. Her Mum is a Cavapoo and her Dad is a KC-registered King Charles spaniel. The trouble is it's about an hour plus away. </p><p>Can I do this trip? We, me included hopefully are going tomorrow night.</p><p><br /></p><p>15th </p><p>Blood tests, the needle went in fine no pain (my veins are very thin and fragile they have to use a pink baby/ child needle. When the needle came out it was very painful a big mountain lump came up as the needle was pulled out. Also, it would not stop bleeding. The nurse put on a pressure bandage very tight and said to leave it on till bedtime if you can. </p><p><br /></p><p>We are going to see the little pup tonight, hope I can cope with the journey. I Managed the journey quite well with extra tablets be for I went. The little pup was so sweet and tiny. Her name is going to be Luna and we can pick her up in a week's time. Not too sure how I felt but it was very hard. We paid a deposit and will pay the rest when we pick her up. Here we go we have a little dog. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbBsYuiohHwge8rr0xZquM6ywan4cYhMFLmwlAC8WETQb9wuWMwMZZUVIBTMbPER9oK5nK6diTZQDgIlr8o2avQcj_eRe4aTdOJLxz48AL7jwNQIYIm3-VwUmY_gcp93NymIxJpQmFoGw2bbGgtiSYiDSqs2PFIPeiYDnY9BgdEs0v7N4n3mu8whVR/s4000/2023-05-15%2019.06.49.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="2248" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbBsYuiohHwge8rr0xZquM6ywan4cYhMFLmwlAC8WETQb9wuWMwMZZUVIBTMbPER9oK5nK6diTZQDgIlr8o2avQcj_eRe4aTdOJLxz48AL7jwNQIYIm3-VwUmY_gcp93NymIxJpQmFoGw2bbGgtiSYiDSqs2PFIPeiYDnY9BgdEs0v7N4n3mu8whVR/w225-h400/2023-05-15%2019.06.49.jpg" width="225" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Luna's Mum, Treacle.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcdO0WmirUTuWNpPI35D7kiVp9_5C97q7cuR6BpNvZ_egV4lTugigHlaUo0r_xvvV74Bpji-xS0mG-prHEYhORicmJb61fYzK7fR05jwJ2LZP1eQvafuWi3YYH0Z0-FtnMYTZrYt8lQVufeP9ieAq-UNfOhZQycY4MwkAt3L9ENUaCHgMQwO3H0THc/s4000/2023-05-15%2019.08.26.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="2248" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcdO0WmirUTuWNpPI35D7kiVp9_5C97q7cuR6BpNvZ_egV4lTugigHlaUo0r_xvvV74Bpji-xS0mG-prHEYhORicmJb61fYzK7fR05jwJ2LZP1eQvafuWi3YYH0Z0-FtnMYTZrYt8lQVufeP9ieAq-UNfOhZQycY4MwkAt3L9ENUaCHgMQwO3H0THc/w225-h400/2023-05-15%2019.08.26.jpg" width="225" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">Little Luna is six and a half weeks old and so tiny.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxqb_v2rdXlPGSKWAB_MQz0_0u6KwG82VXqCapKKk9I8zqiDh2uLihYtmroFxPBxtDBnVZbWUcUQt7oL9fFbGW7teccv9PiW8EiY-3hcoJLpUHaDlV9JAJPb-S4gYdhvCaKZuogRm77yQjVg5ZT1qOfRTt9ehiPe4u5DLcpL9uXa4VM_C9g5sAVY9p/s4000/2023-05-15%2019.08.57.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="2248" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxqb_v2rdXlPGSKWAB_MQz0_0u6KwG82VXqCapKKk9I8zqiDh2uLihYtmroFxPBxtDBnVZbWUcUQt7oL9fFbGW7teccv9PiW8EiY-3hcoJLpUHaDlV9JAJPb-S4gYdhvCaKZuogRm77yQjVg5ZT1qOfRTt9ehiPe4u5DLcpL9uXa4VM_C9g5sAVY9p/w225-h400/2023-05-15%2019.08.57.jpg" width="225" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Her brother and sisters are in a pen like we are getting for Luna. </div><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p>On the way back a lot of pain and discomfort.

We were not successful as nowhere had anything we wanted. Will try at the stores out of town.</p><p>17th</p><p>Andy is back from his weekend away a good one he said. Gave him his present two bars of chocolate which Paul got for him. He said he would enjoy them. Told him I had seen Seefur and I think the cat thought it was him at the sink. Later Andrew and I went to B and Ms and pets at home we got a basket dishes and toys for Luna. Andrew chose the basket and we both chose the dishes. Just need the pen and we are ready for Luna. The swan that has bean sitting near the sluice has now two little chicks very cute. When Andrew and I go past we will see them grow unless she moves on. </p><p><br /></p><p>18th</p><p>Another warm sunny day. Our past neighbour Squidgy came round for a cup of tea and chat. All is well at their house, they are in the bungalow now and Mum is in the Granny annexe all very happy. I gave him Emmie's Birthday present for the 29th of this month. I told him about Luna and he was pleased. He will bring Emmie around very soon. I think she is a bit bothered about coming round to see us as she was Summer's friend and played with her. Before Summer, she was scared of dogs. Squidgy is waiting for his driving license back after a small heart problem. He should have got it back around March 21st. He has already bean passed by his Consultant. He is not very happy, but hopefully, he will be driving soon.</p><p>Angela came round and Andrew sorted out a new fitness smartwatch for her. She is well and seems happy. Nice to see her it's bean a while.</p><p><br /></p><p>19th</p><p>Sorting out Summer's things in the food cupboard, her chews and bits. I found some Christmas presents she never got. I used to give her some every day but when she was ill nothing. I did not know that this would be her last Christmas This was very hard and made me cry I had to stop for a while.</p><p><br /></p><p>20th</p><p>I am sorting out all Summers teddies and toys today another hard job to do. Her special ones I have just put them in a bag as they are to be kept for now. I washed them all. Luna will have a few to play with. Paul is putting a new fence up, so unable to use the washing line. So I put all the teddies on the airer in Karol's garden next door. Andrew and I went for a walk along the river bank quite warm today with a cool breeze.</p><p><br /></p><p>21st</p><p>Another warm day. Paul is doing more bits in the garden. I am doing lots of little bits. I have nearly finished off the cardigan for Liam and Fiona's baby due in late September, just the hood band to put on. I have two more orders for two cardigans. I have the wool I need one is 4 ply, so that will take a little bit longer.</p><p>We are now ready for Luna coming as all the things we need now got. Just need the pup. I saw my friend Debbie and showed her the picture we took at the breeders' house. She thought she was very cute,</p><p><br /></p><p>22nd</p><p>My brother David came around to give us a quote for a new patio and fresh turf. We did not realise that he was starting straight away. He said he probably be finished Wednesday or Thursday. He is a Landscape Gardner and very good at what he does. I had a bit of a cleanup downstairs. The stuff for the garden has to all come through the house so not the best. There will be sand and cement, a mixer and slabs plus many more bits Did a lot of washing so could a while be for I can have the garden back. All dried so that's good.</p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE9r3cOuKJoi58tSHSwk35mjmHFvMkBHTF11MjI3vrJjGNFk8lAUB2WViqlX3tpri0YIsmTfrd1ZgaPX3Y07lDTy9-y_AvZzNs0e8MCrffK_dfpE80TVPu3WaA-8YKJnq_9-UDaEXcb3lFdTPbS54rzRTyTHF0VAk-TnbYAJxuEagTYvuUK3hh8pqF/s4000/2023-05-23%2007.02.30%20-%20Copy.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2248" data-original-width="4000" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE9r3cOuKJoi58tSHSwk35mjmHFvMkBHTF11MjI3vrJjGNFk8lAUB2WViqlX3tpri0YIsmTfrd1ZgaPX3Y07lDTy9-y_AvZzNs0e8MCrffK_dfpE80TVPu3WaA-8YKJnq_9-UDaEXcb3lFdTPbS54rzRTyTHF0VAk-TnbYAJxuEagTYvuUK3hh8pqF/s320/2023-05-23%2007.02.30%20-%20Copy.jpg" width="320" /></a></p></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVGNzzkqRHjn7dBxtwLaNqQLa6M9rZWejPAMTyi1ZkrXfnypgn-6UrSlILeWQQSQoKSrzllGmFHXVRXdjw2X_29S_hSaBVxJRF2xrEKqMQ8mZwB7QYDoIXWNGrM2TZK9HQqnO_h2cz6FrtZcMgraU0-Q6levbFl-csX97nm_ljDwQ66j3JLyKnrLZ1/s4000/2023-05-23%2007.02.54.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2248" data-original-width="4000" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVGNzzkqRHjn7dBxtwLaNqQLa6M9rZWejPAMTyi1ZkrXfnypgn-6UrSlILeWQQSQoKSrzllGmFHXVRXdjw2X_29S_hSaBVxJRF2xrEKqMQ8mZwB7QYDoIXWNGrM2TZK9HQqnO_h2cz6FrtZcMgraU0-Q6levbFl-csX97nm_ljDwQ66j3JLyKnrLZ1/s320/2023-05-23%2007.02.54.jpg" width="320" /></a></p></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><p style="text-align: center;">Garden be for David transformed it.</p><p>23rd</p><p>David is here doing the patio, there will be the new turf for Luna to piddle on as well. Not long now before we bring her home. I still have mixed feelings about her, and I know Andrew does, it's time for a new little friend to join the family. </p><p>Cleaning upstairs today and it's very warm work too. I did all the ironing too very warm work Andrew was working on his bracelets, so we watched some episodes of Sorted Food off the internet very funny they are four friends from their younger days. One is a chef now and the other three just love to cook, with guidance from Chef Ebers. Paul is taking a friend for a hospital appointment at Grantham.</p><p><br /></p><p>24th</p><p>The turf is being taken up today ready for the new tomorrow. David has put the turf in big sandbags that are around three-foot square. There are two of them full to the top. I am going to shake them to get the soil off as it is very good topsoil. I started putting the turf in other smaller bags. The garage car park at the back of us is empty and going to be built on later this year, an old people's home. The man in charge went past, and I was talking to him, he asked what we were doing I told him, and asked him if we could throw the grass at the side of the waste ground. He said yes this saved a lot of work so I was very grateful to him. Andy from across the road came around to help as well. </p><p>Our garden gets very hot as it's South facing and is lovely to sit in. Andy went home and I carried on with the shaking of the grass. By the end of the day it was all done and we had loads of topsoil. I am tired but pleased it's done. We are using Karol's garden next door to put things in, he is very good and lets us use his garden more than he does. This will not last as the house is up for sale and Karol is going back to Poland. Not sure what will happen to the greenhouse as it's been in next doors garden for over twenty years. There are a lot of bits going to the skip on Saturday. Andy has some things as well so he will help Paul to load up the car.</p><p><br /></p><p>25th</p><p>Turf here today David said it will not take long to do he was not wrong. The garden looks lovely. David has done a great job as he always does. Like me, things have to be right.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwJj3ShP6gTp38b0ngUqRxud5OedIAtlEBbuivovR0afEoJY8hcywSPoJSOGW1dJFT_qsfPOFIi-XauM1bPasm8atc8dUe5oyRvsr8NTnmrSUuH5QVNU8PUIJPr1HeFQVKG9tRWTKtb_jLWzxThwcZiMua5je7jQL1WULyyrwNdlYwZNi5-97RaEtH/s4000/2023-05-25%2015.02.54.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2248" data-original-width="4000" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwJj3ShP6gTp38b0ngUqRxud5OedIAtlEBbuivovR0afEoJY8hcywSPoJSOGW1dJFT_qsfPOFIi-XauM1bPasm8atc8dUe5oyRvsr8NTnmrSUuH5QVNU8PUIJPr1HeFQVKG9tRWTKtb_jLWzxThwcZiMua5je7jQL1WULyyrwNdlYwZNi5-97RaEtH/s320/2023-05-25%2015.02.54.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">The garden looks good a big improvement to what it was.

Debbie came. Round to see Luna and thought she was lovely. She lost her little dog Sooty, not long ago a spaniel, so it was a bit hard for her. Luna is getting more confident but is still very shy with strangers. Doing good going on the grass and has had very few wees inside. She will go to the door and goes out on the grass herself but not at night. I think she is a bit scared of the dark. Cuddled her to sleep then put her in her basket inside the pen and went to bed at three-thirty. Hope she stays asleep till morning</p><p><br /></p><p>28th</p><p>The dog next door is left on its own a lot and barks and cries, this upsets Luna and she is not very settled. She keeps eating stones and to get them off her is very hard as she will run away from you. Cleaning up a bit today as a mess with all the garden stuff coming through the house. Luna had a good sleep late afternoon. When she woke she was like someone possessed running around and making little growling noises. She took herself out for a wee, clever girl. We thought she would have trouble with the back doorstep as quite a jump for her but not easy for her, she just jumped up and down with no problem.</p><p><br /></p><p>29th</p><p>Went to see Jay-Jay and Molly,s baby Cory James.

I know this does not give me much time, it's already cut out so that saves around two hours. The fur is very thick so the stitching takes a lot of doing. I could do it on my sewing machine, but, if I do it wrong it's a lot of hassle to unpick it. Went quite well, sewing a bit hard on my fingers. I stabbed myself a few times and made my them bleed. The worst bit was getting the joints, nose and eyes in place. They just would not go in and snap together because of the thicker fur I think. I gave up- and will try tomorrow. The trouble is my hands are not very strong and my grip is not good either. The joints are all safety ones, once in they will not come out. I found this out once when making another teddy. I put the leg I think it was, where the arm should be or an arm where the leg should be. I had to cut a new leg out and resew, but it was all well in the end. Hopefully, things will go better tomorrow. </p><p><br /></p><p>2nd</p><p>Bed around 4am, I did not feel too good today a lot of pain and still getting bad headaches. Once I was in bed. I must have gone to sleep and was woken up by barking, I started to get out of bed. Then I realized it could not have bean Summer. After that, I could not settle for ages. </p><p>Did a bit more of the teddy today it went better and I managed to get all the joints in using a nut (nut and bolt type) and hammer the nut helped hold the long part of the joint called the shaft, and just a sharp tap on the hammer they went in. I did have to redo the nose as the shaft broke but that was quite easy to put right. I just cut off the shaft and used another nose. Just needs stuffing now and it will be ready for Debbies Birthday. Last year I made her a knitted Womble and she loved it. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsPUs2_yVE4jjBf5rYZd3I1YN8bhhPefdLJ-EzW67m2c0k0vSs926x_AoJTp00CnfANeVAK3FgrYtf0j0rXt_Re2YX086GjEoP7OK0HqSQP-ph4toP78LwwXOtYRn0SELS50j47NMdRzqP6T8S-65orAE1Y7kF07hTX3qjtkfvBWYbgtlER5fUniSj/s3264/2022-01-04%20003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsPUs2_yVE4jjBf5rYZd3I1YN8bhhPefdLJ-EzW67m2c0k0vSs926x_AoJTp00CnfANeVAK3FgrYtf0j0rXt_Re2YX086GjEoP7OK0HqSQP-ph4toP78LwwXOtYRn0SELS50j47NMdRzqP6T8S-65orAE1Y7kF07hTX3qjtkfvBWYbgtlER5fUniSj/s320/2022-01-04%20003.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCJ1ENtyaIDUxIZZQXd49prW7GFcInvQ--tUwFsmOr_ty_eg3Da_kFwjRzGlOi6R_aqF7xHLw1_bC5y8sAgTvjtM-3OPTpKn5Xt2VeYnMK6gbUq4dt3YtkLjNiJBE2WAW4A_UWwkzviXvnBF7ExAMRJRdGgQjKmqao1NFxUlGkX8YCg345xUNlukwS/s3264/2022-01-04%20006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCJ1ENtyaIDUxIZZQXd49prW7GFcInvQ--tUwFsmOr_ty_eg3Da_kFwjRzGlOi6R_aqF7xHLw1_bC5y8sAgTvjtM-3OPTpKn5Xt2VeYnMK6gbUq4dt3YtkLjNiJBE2WAW4A_UWwkzviXvnBF7ExAMRJRdGgQjKmqao1NFxUlGkX8YCg345xUNlukwS/s320/2022-01-04%20006.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqtxITE8DY45zlWzIIJenCpdm7Cihcmf7ZrxaL5KS5HcB3wWmqtjNJpR-mM9TEP7NUcjo7XbHJHtWwqMFopkYVoiL2JCXx7sUHOxASJutVMV2dl58M6gMPQIT0t7PQhtF5dQ-XDP8cJiMz-4QNasIwroTMMYHgJUQkqps3qheD6iwCIjnpOsLdUEDP/s3264/2022-01-04%20007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqtxITE8DY45zlWzIIJenCpdm7Cihcmf7ZrxaL5KS5HcB3wWmqtjNJpR-mM9TEP7NUcjo7XbHJHtWwqMFopkYVoiL2JCXx7sUHOxASJutVMV2dl58M6gMPQIT0t7PQhtF5dQ-XDP8cJiMz-4QNasIwroTMMYHgJUQkqps3qheD6iwCIjnpOsLdUEDP/s320/2022-01-04%20007.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Mr womble.

She did not realize to start with, I had made him. Andrew had given him the name Jeffery. Debbie said she might keep that name for him. I had three unexpected visitors today Jenny, Angela, and Andy, well Andy I see a lot. The other two just came and sort of knew I would be here, I mostly am. Not really bean out much since Summer passed away. Apart from the walks Andrew and I do, going late afternoon so not many visitors at that time. I used to always go out with Summer first thing. I have missed the common very much as used to seeing my friends there.</p><p>Pauls's Brother Malcolm was admitted to the hospital with pain in his side. Paul took him to the hospital after Malcolm rang him up. He was vising Pam his wife, when the pain got unbearable. Pam who is temporarily in a care home after her broken leg last month. She now has a brace on it. The leg she broke is the one that was the most affected by her stroke a few years ago, so she has not got much feeling in it, so not in too much pain. Malcolm was put on a drip, nill by mouth, and told that it might be a bowel blockage but will do more tests and scans. Paul got home around two thirty in the morning. Lincoln Hospital are not very fast at doing things. </p><p><br /></p><p>7th</p><p>Finished off the knitting of the Aran jacket now, and added a hat with a bobble, which took three attempts to get right. Still need to put the toggles on but have none so I need to go into town.</p><p>Looking after Andy's cat Smudge, today and at breakfast time he was waiting near his door and wowing as if to say come on, I want my breakfast. He was soon fed and happy again. Andy is only away one day so not too long for him. I left him to eat his food and told him I would be back later. When I went back mid-afternoon he was not as hungry so I played with him for a while, then left him again to eat what he wanted of his dinner. One more visit then good night Smudge. Andy will be back sometime tomorrow. Paul went to see his Brother, and Malcolm said he felt a bit better, hungry but not in as much pain. Andrew and I went for another long walk no shopping this time though. Felt quite warm as well is Spring on the way?</p><p><br /></p><p>8th</p><p>Went across to feed Smudge and he was sitting outside again waiting for me. Fed him Stayed a while but he was more interested in his food so I left him to it. Going to see Pam today and take a few clothes and bits, probably washing as well to bring back. Pam was well, her leg in a brace thing. The leg is the one most affected by her stroke, so not much feeling there. Not sure how long she will be staying there. With Malcolm in hospital, there is no one to look after her, as Malcolm is her sole carer. Andy is home today so Smudge will be pleased, He is a very loving cat and likes a lot of attention. Malcolm phoned and said he can come home today. He will be seen as an out-patient. </p><p><br /></p><p>10th</p><p>A big storm today with thunder and lightning and with downpour rain. The air was a lot cleaner after, as I can feel quite bad as it affects me with headaches and just a very heavy body. Pain everywhere on a really bad storm day. Yesterday I know it felt very heavy. Andrew And I braved a walk hoping we would not get caught in the showers or storms we keep having, as some are very heavy. Another long walk and no- we did not get wet, just got home in time. </p><p><br /></p><p>11th</p><p>Sunny start to the day, quite mild too. Washing and general housework. Paul is helping Lindsay move the last bits from her house to the flat, that will be home till a bigger place is available. She has to carry her dog Suey up the two flights of stairs, she is sixteen years old and finds the stairs difficult not an easy task as she weighs four stone.</p><p><br /></p><p>13th</p><p>Happy Birthday, Malcolm, have a good day. Pam is coming home today so that will be a good day all round. </p><p>Cleaned up downstairs. Andrew was going to B.Q. so I decided to go along for a walk. I was quite tired and ached a lot but I thought the walk would maybe help. On the way back we saw one of our friends. He is the son of Ben who used to live next door, permanently in a wheelchair after a bad car accident. He had a new dog, and very friendly he was. He did not know about Summer and asked about her. I told him and he was very sorry. He has lost dogs so he knows how hard it is. Nice walk but I was so tired my short nights do not help, four hours of broken sleep a night is not good. </p><p>Paul picked up a cooker for Lindsay as the flat had not got one, not new, but Paul said it was in very good condition. Fitted in now and ready for trying. She cooked sausage casserole for their tea. Everything seems to be working well and she is pleased with it. Things are getting done in the flat so that's good. The flat is very warm as new boiler and radiator have just bean fitted. The old house was cold and drafty. </p><p> A wet day, hardly stopped raining all day. I sorted out all my wool and wound up any balls that had got tatty. Started knitting a baby jacket for my Nephew Lliam and his wife as the baby girl is due in September. I am making it a bigger size too as she has a lot of things already. Lindsay phoned up and said Suey was not well. She thinks she has a prolapsed womb. A trip to the vet he thinks the same. He tried to push the prolapsed back in but could not. She needs an operation, not good as she is sixteen years old. Come on Suey you can do it. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Look at the beautiful sky we had at sunset.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrIELmlpQHZFO0yoAJOn2F5Bk6zGX_tPvPIkmnpByIxbBRkhDsYfWmGwpLLPyrjNEVyY5pAvfVEuJG4FrD8KOUGeuhr7XmJ_62OzI5UiMtTbPjxqDf8FK0g21UhTtC8a84XP8qmSI3sm8pfup5Yr8kHqC-UCuZC385UA9JltkeOZVmj53nwr1iGKRl/s3264/IMG_8017.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrIELmlpQHZFO0yoAJOn2F5Bk6zGX_tPvPIkmnpByIxbBRkhDsYfWmGwpLLPyrjNEVyY5pAvfVEuJG4FrD8KOUGeuhr7XmJ_62OzI5UiMtTbPjxqDf8FK0g21UhTtC8a84XP8qmSI3sm8pfup5Yr8kHqC-UCuZC385UA9JltkeOZVmj53nwr1iGKRl/s320/IMG_8017.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8NLgAR92OOHEMeT10Q9OKLOkIk6N81J_thayZG0sFaE206iYFHuRR1Wdw_0pkeujVNLF57xB8X9kxKOAzrv5FQ8kDO5HKrc-vs_vXRXMF4ahJ6NlZ1WLLlKpmtbMm96iHfl0wOoGUtZ6hUvienbCrXki3tsfzMywLrIGboyxFewzoRNSwwr4dbP9f/s3264/IMG_8018.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8NLgAR92OOHEMeT10Q9OKLOkIk6N81J_thayZG0sFaE206iYFHuRR1Wdw_0pkeujVNLF57xB8X9kxKOAzrv5FQ8kDO5HKrc-vs_vXRXMF4ahJ6NlZ1WLLlKpmtbMm96iHfl0wOoGUtZ6hUvienbCrXki3tsfzMywLrIGboyxFewzoRNSwwr4dbP9f/s320/IMG_8018.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">So lovely.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>15th</p><p>A phone call from Lindsay, Suey is ok and doing very well, come through her operation, and should be home today. There was a tumor in her womb so a full hysterectomy was done plus an extra bit inside her bits. Well done Suey. They are coming here for a few days, as Lindsay will not be able to carry her upstairs with a stomach wound. Suey is not too bad a bit dazed and wobbly on her feet. Lindsay gave her a bit of chicken roll and she hooved it up. Jamie-Lee and I did laugh. Jamie-Lee will have the bedroom and Lindsay and Suey will have the front room.</p><p><br /></p><p>16th</p><p>Andrew and I decided to go for a walk taking Jamie-Lee as well. We went along the river bank ending up in Boultham Park. Andrew and Jamie-Lee had a great time going on the climbing frames and other activities. I went on some but most of the time just watched them. We left the park and walked back home. I cooked tea roast beef for most of us. Sausages for Jamie-Lee and Tommy-Lee (Jamie-Lees Brother) joined us as well. Everyone enjoyed their tea. Andrew did not join us, eating later instead. </p><p><br /></p><p>17th</p><p>Quite a warm heavy day. Suey is doing well, sleeping most of the time eating a bit and going out for wees. </p><p>The Mars rocket was meant to blast off today but did not, something to do with the pressure. The next date is Friday.</p><p><br /></p><p>18th</p><p>Met Joy in town, the first time this year I have seen her. Had a cup of tea, that Joy treated me to and a good chat. Got some more wool and a few other bits. Also a crochet set of Harry Potter's Luna for Jamie-Lee to make. Being looking after Suey while Paul takes Jamie-Lee to School, so she is not on her own. A sunny day but a cold wind from the North. I felt funny, later a headache, and not right but not sure how to describe it. After being in bed for a while I realized I had not taken my night time tablets. Came down and took them and soon felt better. My body had gone into withdrawal because of the MORPHINE. </p><p><br /></p><p>19th</p><p>Looks like another nice day. Suey improves every day and is doing so well. I leaned over into the bin slipped and bashed my chest against it I think I have cracked a rib, it hurts to breathe in and move the slightest bit. Finished off the Aran jacket and hat for Jay-Jay and Molly's baby Cory James. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrdqGTps8fzQFtm4sfs1I13yOpHCj0gTDKX7SkBPqKjkEGFwsXiGPiAf8XKV-IsJ4Y2n-Ct9JwG2-wxcSF-9GO-SZTA8QOByRNuk_3f0aQ4FpqSZIt-RyBfCKTNGYTR99U_xhFiBO3s_9dS2zaDsigOsOTQyP3RqQx-okIX8cFLS6NfMXEXGZjNGJj/s3264/IMG_8023.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrdqGTps8fzQFtm4sfs1I13yOpHCj0gTDKX7SkBPqKjkEGFwsXiGPiAf8XKV-IsJ4Y2n-Ct9JwG2-wxcSF-9GO-SZTA8QOByRNuk_3f0aQ4FpqSZIt-RyBfCKTNGYTR99U_xhFiBO3s_9dS2zaDsigOsOTQyP3RqQx-okIX8cFLS6NfMXEXGZjNGJj/s320/IMG_8023.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">I think it came out nice it's a pattern I like doing, so I think that helps.</div><p><br /></p><p>22nd</p><p>Jamie-Lee has a friend here so she is happy today.

Her friend was dressed as Harry Potter.</p><p><br /></p><p>23rd</p><p>Leg of lamb for tea today but it was not cooked enough, so it was sausages all round. Lamb tomorrow instead. Funny because Lindsay's friend Cherel asked me how to cook lamb, I could not even get my own joint right.

I am sure I have cracked a rib and bruised my chest. Breathing in is painful. </p><p><br /></p><p>24th</p><p>Three big loads of washing all dried just got it in before a big shower of rain. Suey at the vet to hear if the tumour was anything sinister. Good news no cancer or anything like that a bit of infection that will easily clear up with the prescribed antibiotics. I cleaned around but the vacuuming Lindsay did to save my chest from hurting. She got me a different brush for my vacuum so she used that and said it was good.</p><p><br /></p><p>25th</p><p>Cold to begin with then very warm, people in shorts and T-shirts. In town today quick visit, I got Jamie-Lee some wool for her crocheting. I also got some for a baby jacket for Jay-Jay's and Molly's baby boy that will soon be here. The wool lady had got in new colours. I am doing a pattern from a lady I follow on youtube- Shiela, when finished I will show it here. The jacket for my Nephew Lliam and his wife Fiona going well, also the blanket is growing. I will put up a picture when both are finished. </p><p>Woke up feeling a bit hot and headache. Lindsay has not bean well for a few days, with a headache and muscle aches. Jamie-Lee says she is not feeling well either but you can never be sure with her. They both have tested positive for covid. Lindsay asked if they should go home. I was not too sure. Could she manage Suey up the stairs without hurting her? In the end, Lindsay decided to go. She packed up their stuff and they were gone. Hopefully, things will be ok Lindsay is not very strong at the moment. I asked if Tommy-Lee could take Suey up and down the stairs? She said Tommy-Lee was scared of dropping her.</p><p> Lindsay bought me a hot water bottle deluxe. Used later in bed, it keeps my legs and feet warm. Thank you Lindsay I said you did not have to buy me anything for having you stay here at all. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL0ZttN05Zg3NhY9bcaPxy__8iZNTntDSHxhXu4g0QBgBfjCaKpJPDnVroZ3OBUd11PrQ6C0uJz1gDLTlAvZVBNkf8EWltzICCwLfNtOTwx5ifHVqtzE2CzybWDQY7UQLbQv6HeS_eO6CH3dddwbrJjh5sL3pCiHUY_vBFhETz1bYbZaDE1pC3OB2V/s3264/IMG_8026.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL0ZttN05Zg3NhY9bcaPxy__8iZNTntDSHxhXu4g0QBgBfjCaKpJPDnVroZ3OBUd11PrQ6C0uJz1gDLTlAvZVBNkf8EWltzICCwLfNtOTwx5ifHVqtzE2CzybWDQY7UQLbQv6HeS_eO6CH3dddwbrJjh5sL3pCiHUY_vBFhETz1bYbZaDE1pC3OB2V/s320/IMG_8026.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p> </p><p>27th</p><p>Washed all the bedding from Lindsay and Jamie-Lee's beds. Just about dried be for it started to rain. My friend Debbie was here so she rushed off to get her washing in too. Paul is away this weekend for a Charity do. So just me and Andrew here, he is not too well either. Rang Lindsay up all doing well she is coping with Suey up the stairs, but only just. Nice and quiet without Jamie-Lee who loves to try and prove you are wrong in some way. Most of the time is wrong herself.</p><p><br /></p><p>28th</p><p>Paul left this morning and will be back on Sunday midday ish. He is calling at Lindsay's to take the bits that got left behind when they went. I am going to clean all the upstairs over the weekend and change our bedding. </p><p>The Mars rocket took off with a massive blast but something went wrong in the sky and a controlled explosion took place, but it did take off which was the aim of the launch. Well done Space X. It was a hell of a blast and did quite a bit of damage to the launch site and beyond.</p><p><br /></p><p>29th</p><p>Rung Lindsay, things are improving and Suey is doing very well. Lindsay said her back and shoulders still hurt. Andrew still hurts, but his legs hurt more than his body. Ran him a bath to see if that will help. All you can do is go with it and wait for it to run its course. I had a bath later and Andrew listened out for any problems. I have had seizures in the bath, so meant to have someone close by. Not sure what Andrew could have done if the worst had happened. I was ok and had a nice bath and hair wash. All upstairs is clean and tidy again. Andrew and I had a small Chinese neither of us had much appetite. Very nice what we had though. Paul is home tomorrow around midday like I said. </p><p><br /></p><p>29th</p><p>Paul arrived home just before midday he had enjoyed his weekend. Washing and more knitting today, an easier one as bean very busy over the weekend. Doing this Blog. Will cook tea later but not too much else.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Well, another month has gone by, Spring I think is here for us in the UK anyway. A mixed Month with Lindsay being here with Suey, This was hard for me after Summer, but nice in some ways as she is a very loving dog, and gentle too. I miss Summer so much. I am pleased things went well for Suey and she at least was ok. All the best to everyone love Gill.</p><p><br /></p><p> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Gill Pyrahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16554599037210034283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1255014379495295812.post-7507692042775298402023-03-31T18:11:00.000+01:002023-05-03T21:48:34.062+01:00March<p>March 2nd</p><p>Paul is at the hospital volunteering so on my own again. Since Summer went I am now truly on my own. Cleaning and a few other household jobs, ironing too. Later Andrew and I did a walk to Hobbycraft to get a few bits he wanted. Nice out along the river bank but the wind is very cold. </p><p><br /></p><p>3rd</p><p>Rest day today, as busy yesterday. Just doing a few odd bits and more knitting of the white baby blanket I am making for the same lady I made the cardigans and pink blanket for. Another walk with Andrew along the river. Got some light for the trellis where the little bouncy bugs are so it's lit up at night. </p><p><br /></p><p>4th</p><p>Andrew put up the lights so hopefully, they will look good when its night time. They are solar powered so the sun is needed to power them up. Paul is out again so just me most of the time. Andrew has helped me by going for walks, but it's not the same without Summer toddling close by.</p><p><br /></p><p>5th</p><p>Radio 1- Arielle Free Dj is doing a bike ride for Red Nose Day. Tour De Dance /Comic Relief. The bike is no ordinary bike, a ten-man one like the Dutch beer bikes in Amsterdam. She and nine others will be biking every day covering five cities starting in York, then Leeds, Sheffield, Manchester, and finally finishing at Liverpool. Ten miles a day, she will be Djing the whole time. The other nine riders will change though out the day and over the next five days. Arielle will be on the bike for the whole ten hours apart from rest and physio breaks. The bike I have bean told weighs around one and a half tons. Good luck hope it goes well and the weather is kind. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi05F7EK3XcbNF3WJYdgfPXOu1PRWjdLbdBnIIsbHtVsUM9gM7RWaO0jsn67g0g1iGvzaodEWR65aURRI42cCHysKl5ho_v62JzqKe3TLG3LqQNcxFaovuXlt0B35sd8eexP9GFJgwRjMOUTzmCcsWijDRJrImSTcmtqPpXwAFREqCa6hX6OGnMTusR" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="407" data-original-width="612" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi05F7EK3XcbNF3WJYdgfPXOu1PRWjdLbdBnIIsbHtVsUM9gM7RWaO0jsn67g0g1iGvzaodEWR65aURRI42cCHysKl5ho_v62JzqKe3TLG3LqQNcxFaovuXlt0B35sd8eexP9GFJgwRjMOUTzmCcsWijDRJrImSTcmtqPpXwAFREqCa6hX6OGnMTusR" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p><br /></p><p>6th</p><p>Up at eight despite not going to bed till four-thirty last night.

Jay-Jay my Grandson is nineteen today, so a Very Happy Birthday To You. Going to see him later. He was born the year I fell so he has never seen me active like I used to be when running. A good year and a bad one, all rolled into one. Jay-Jay was born with a hole in his heart which the Doctors knew about be for he arrived. His birth was not straightforward his heart rate dropped to about ten beats a minute. Lindsay was rushed to the theatre for an emergency caesarean. The Doctors managed to deliver him by forceps as she was so far on. All was well in the end but he did have to go to Sheffield the next day to see a specialist there. More visits as he got older but all seemed to be well. He still has the hole but it does not bother him too much. Saw Jay-Jay later gave him his card and money. I will get him a few bits when in town. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc03uNkbQ7ZCmJIHX1PtRlQUtB2epE6Q-I44EI9sGxvxJCZLiKcFX5o-aQ-tE7o8TcYVmJc2jAwGsr222HmWxvVvvqljWnI8w7m482vLGF0Joi1ZerSfP1Nc6BbnEkJFR4TR8IY5GOtVu4zeOa14-zg9QEUfvVbtW75LJ-OQbVA9V-H_0nGW_E8O7C/s3264/IMG_7952.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc03uNkbQ7ZCmJIHX1PtRlQUtB2epE6Q-I44EI9sGxvxJCZLiKcFX5o-aQ-tE7o8TcYVmJc2jAwGsr222HmWxvVvvqljWnI8w7m482vLGF0Joi1ZerSfP1Nc6BbnEkJFR4TR8IY5GOtVu4zeOa14-zg9QEUfvVbtW75LJ-OQbVA9V-H_0nGW_E8O7C/s320/IMG_7952.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifu7eEdrJESdlsn-khPc6971wdldTX71GihjHXUMgLwn0JS9k2ULuOo-qWrlxU0jod4_QNH8G5VGi90zUABHwQXXc2Hmc-dNc8tThoeJ6JUpPgaT4PJuxHSuVadDxIkqd4ysK03Mav621QulEYdgc3l6hhx3WvrIy50di047UsVtYR8Gpj2GVyP0dp/s3264/IMG_7954.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifu7eEdrJESdlsn-khPc6971wdldTX71GihjHXUMgLwn0JS9k2ULuOo-qWrlxU0jod4_QNH8G5VGi90zUABHwQXXc2Hmc-dNc8tThoeJ6JUpPgaT4PJuxHSuVadDxIkqd4ysK03Mav621QulEYdgc3l6hhx3WvrIy50di047UsVtYR8Gpj2GVyP0dp/s320/IMG_7954.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlASJdFL5EtagbRpysni_Jh9HfkyzBz7gLoyHrEuXaToKJOcjrhMHh26-nlnvFoSDnGVwEKhNfV52Vf8IRMEfJHNN7nWSRk4RpamHVyByySHKomTaAyVrcDUFJBNW_JDcZGPR9omlcGWEAiWqMCSB4fFXOamRNE6qSchwCcEhG9ijRMeEcOyxNecXt/s3264/IMG_7955.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlASJdFL5EtagbRpysni_Jh9HfkyzBz7gLoyHrEuXaToKJOcjrhMHh26-nlnvFoSDnGVwEKhNfV52Vf8IRMEfJHNN7nWSRk4RpamHVyByySHKomTaAyVrcDUFJBNW_JDcZGPR9omlcGWEAiWqMCSB4fFXOamRNE6qSchwCcEhG9ijRMeEcOyxNecXt/s320/IMG_7955.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">The Lilly that Mary and Rory got me is fully out now and is so lovely.</p><p><br /></p><p>7th</p><p>In town, today to get Jay-Jay bits of shower stuff, and two bags of Haribo sweets, you're never too old for them. I got wool for the blankets I am going to be knitting later in the year plus another ball of white to keep in. Well stocked up now with wool. Another walk with Andrew along the river bank and through Boutham Park nearby, about an hour-plus walk. Nice and peaceful along the river bank too. Cold strong wind again. In the park, we saw ducks and seagulls, they are very greedy birds one was trying to take a piece of bread out of a duck's beak but he held on to it and ate it. I know the seagulls are hungry too but they expect it all and do not want to share. </p><p>Arielle Free on Radio 1 is doing well but is saddle-sore. The weather is getting colder with snow on its way. Sheffield she says is hilly and taking its toll on her. Halfway now, keep going you are doing really well. </p><p><br /></p><p>8th</p><p>After a very cold night -3-4C we have a bit of snow. some places have had loads causing problems in places. Wayne has had quite a bit as well. Icey strong wind today. </p><p>Arielle is struggling with the cold and the snow. She is broken and in pain, and so cold- her words, but will carry on. People who have bean on the bike for a short session are saying how hard it is and so, so cold. The DJ set broke down as well so that was a setback as time has to be made up later. Come on girl you are nearly there just today, and tomorrow then rest and warmth for you. </p><p><br /></p><p>9th</p><p>Snow at nine this morning, is quite heavy too, we might get some proper snow yet. Later it was still snowing heavily and settling more. Andrew and I are going for a snowy walk later. Very sore eyes today I think with the cold winds and tears as well. Cleaning up a bit later, and a bit more knitting going well with the cardigan and baby blanket. Later Andrew and I did go for a walk but not a snowy one as we thought as all snow has gone. Wayne still has loads and sent pictures to Paul. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNV14dkw5NS_J-Z9rV4qtTMg_EFA6nD1I5keCS8HwdmC0r7wgEppa8FqaodoiM1qfaBdwOimzHbgADa6zqPQTqaIjHuiVBF3uAJn6mbllLHqpwRIgiuOlZmGuGi6JEO7BtqnZMmBAlZkerStrbCbEivsgu_8mMzDHAcZfP6pkFTmmFiPT5ZTkIHG7c/s3264/IMG_7956.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNV14dkw5NS_J-Z9rV4qtTMg_EFA6nD1I5keCS8HwdmC0r7wgEppa8FqaodoiM1qfaBdwOimzHbgADa6zqPQTqaIjHuiVBF3uAJn6mbllLHqpwRIgiuOlZmGuGi6JEO7BtqnZMmBAlZkerStrbCbEivsgu_8mMzDHAcZfP6pkFTmmFiPT5ZTkIHG7c/s320/IMG_7956.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dw7q_97IbzBJZkUMB5TASqYCpsaVOErczGevu8yQni13xbVqDd1kaBbx0jUM9s30kAF9MAzePJqcoptF6Piow' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Video (above) of the snow in our garden</div><br /><p>The walk was nice but so cold with the strong wind. We went along the river bank again, a nice like I said quiet walk. I have not bean back on the common properly yet, as a bit too painful (only along the top with Andrew.) Summer and I did not really go down the river much. She preferred the common with all her and my friends. When Andrew and I got back Arielle was on her last bit of the bike ride. Today she found it very hard going. She hurts and sometimes had to be lifted off the bike and put back on again. She will find strength somewhere and the crowds will help her along. There are in Liverpool as its the last day. When I was running and used to race, you are all in but get near the finish line and somehow you find extra strength to pull you along sometimes to even sprint to the finish. Arielle has finished the bike ride of her life broken, sore, and so tired. The total raised up to now is over £500,000 Very well done Arielle and all those that took part how ever small. More money will be coming in for a few days. </p><p>10th</p><p>Bit more of the blanket and cardigan knitting going well. Tired today and still head ache from the beginning of January. I was sat knitting when a picture popped up on my Google screen of Summer as if to say I am still here with you, then flashed off again.</p><p><br /></p><p>11th</p><p>Lindsay's dog Suey has not bean too well, she is an old dog with a few problems. Summer and her were very best friends</p><p>I am now starting to decrease the blanket now as the right size, 210 stitches on the needles. Had to use circle ones for a while, not very keen on these but there were just too many stitches for the needles they were on. Now decreasing, the rows will obviously get shorter, but a way to go yet. Warm today 13c the last few days being around 4-6C what a contrast, still very windy with rain now so, we will probably not get snow at all to settle. Some say good but I like snow. </p><p><br /></p><p>13th</p><p>A windy cloudy sunny day all the weathers today. Not cold 13C again I have taken in my little bouncy bugs as they were going a bit too crazy and I was worried they would get broken.</p><p><br /></p><p>16th</p><p>Cleaning up downstairs today. Paul is at the hospital volunteering. Went with Andrew on another walk this time we went shopping at Home Bargains. Not to get anything just a look, this cost me in the end 27 pounds. I got more solar lights for the garden to put with the others I got last week. Andrew got a fan and phone holder plus a few bits. Also, the bargain of the day, Primulas for ten pence for six they just need a good soak then they will be alright. </p><p><br /></p><p>17th</p><p>Went to see Mum, Dad, and Phillip at the Garden Of Rest. I went on my bike- not bean on it for a while as my balance has bean off a bit. No problems going, coming back I got a puncture, so I had to push it all the way home, around a mile I would say. My bike is very heavy as electric not noticeable when riding but very much so when pushing it for a distance. My shoulders ached and my arms hurt. My left shoulder has not bean right since I slipped last year on the ice falling on my left side with most of the weight on my shoulder and arm, hitting my head as I fell. </p><p>Paul got some posh fishcakes for tea, to me they were not any different, just a bit bigger (large portions Wayne). My sense of smell and taste has not come back yet. I can sense curry on my lips and tongue but not really any taste. Paul said the fish cakes were not a lot different either. </p><p><br /></p><p>18th</p><p>Planted the primulas they look really good now after a good soak of water. Going to rain later so that will be good for them. Bit more knitting of the baby blanket and Andrew's hoodie which is not going too well. I will finish it for him and it will be the best I can do. This is why I prefer doing baby things or straightforward bits. Too many stitches and takes too long to do adult things. I am wanting to get things done faster than I can knit. Paul mended my puncture, and I cleaned my bike it gleams now I used car polish so it will be protected too. </p><p><br /></p><p>19th</p><p>Mother's day presents, a Scottie dog from Lindsay, with a plant which is going in the garden, and was replaced with a cactus, plus some chocolate. A Steampunk cat from Wayne and Kayleigh, they sent a card too and Lindsay added her name to it. Wayne said what a cheek. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEvrZPr3mC4u9vYsy0XjN7wBr3UbfKOAEAJQy6PWu28EKlgw4R4An3AiEIjMRMtibfq-L8wKLl4W4MgJH9oL-1Lw43TU0VSMxeRUjmCe0olFWFIE5I62j5-7gCz1aIJH126LE4R4G_1Mt8TZjDqu1YzyJxEM5XjCLAQlg-cMEKwmsZXvIbCcWpVlVj/s3264/IMG_7982.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

Suey Lindsay's dog came too. She is getting old now sixteen. Her joints are very stiff and she walks very robotic-like. She was looking for Summer and spent a long time near her resting place. I explained to her that she is no longer here. When Suey is tired she always goes in Summer basket to sleep she was confused it was not there. Lindsay went off to see her friend Jack and brought him back here. I gave him his Christmas present as had not seen him since the end of last year.</p><p><br /></p><p>20th</p><p>Sorting out the toy cupboard and got a lot for the charity shop. things fit in there a lot better now and there is more room for the puzzles. Some things will be saved for Jay-Jay and Molly's baby. Cooked a Sunday dinner of roast beef plus all the trimmings. Very nice it was too. No knitting today as my wrists are a bit sore. I Learned today that Pam my Sister in Law has broken her leg and is in Skegness hospital, as no beds in Lincoln County. Skegness is a least an hour away from Lincoln, County is about fifteen minutes. A long drive for Malcum her Husband to go to see her. Nice walk with Andrew along the riverbank. </p><p><br /></p><p>21st</p><p>A cloudy day but not cold. Sorted out the Lilly plant that Mary and Rory got me it will go in the garden at a later date. Also, the big olive plant that I receive as a present a few years ago from Ben's Daughter Ben used to live next door with Cilla but now both have sadly passed away. Got cleaned up downstairs apart from the front room that is. </p><p><br /></p><p>22nd</p><p>Changed the bedding and got it all dried. Bit more knitting of the blanket below 100 sts now( did have 220) only decreasing 1 stitch a row so still a way to go before its finished.</p><p>Phoned Malcolm to see how Pam is doing. He said she is quite happy with some other ladies in the ward. Not sure what is happing as he keeps getting told different things. Hopefully, she will soon be home or at least in Lincoln hospital. </p><p><br /></p><p>23rd</p><p>Got a breast scan today at the hospital I walked there and back, around four miles plus, as it was a nice day. I was going to bus it and walk back, but as I had plenty of time so I decided to walk it. The route is up quite a big hill so it gets the back of your legs. This is the hill I used to run up and down many times with no problems even talking as we went when in the running club - Good Days. The scan went well with no problems just wait now for the results in around two weeks.

I thought it would be done today but no only one dentist on and no receptionist either. I need to go back at an unknown date as no appointment yet, as the stand-in receptionist could not make me one. Still charged twenty-odd pounds for a check-up that was not due (went end of last year) and will need to pay again for filling the tooth. I thought it would be a joint cost.

Paul put all the Action man stuff in the shed till Lindsays gets a new house. The house she is in is being sold so the landlady wants her out. Hopefully, she will get a house soon as she is very worried about three children a dog, and a hamster. Put violas in the garden they look very happy in there. Also I will not need to do much to the garden for the next few months that is apart from weeding.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Only two bedrooms, but it's better than a bed and breakfast at a Hotel somewhere. She was one of four people wanting a place, and they ended up in Peterborough. That would have bean devastating for her and the children. The outcome for her is good. It's going to be a bit of a squeeze but she will cope. Now at least she can relax a bit knowing that it's her place till the council find her a bigger house.</p><p>Redoing a bit more of Andrew's hoodie as the pattern I do not like it as it's not how I would have done the pattern. I know Sheila said the same about a pattern for a baby hoodie with very much the same style. I know I would not do this pattern again without adaptations.</p><p><br /></p><p>29th</p><p>Doing some of the blog, ready to publish soon. Bit more knitting of Andrew's hoodie, I will get this looking right, hopefully very soon so Andrew can wear it.</p><p>Went to see Lindsay's new place look good for her. The bedrooms are very big, one like two in one. the small bedroom is a double. Tommy has got a double bed in there so lots of room still and it's around the back away from the road so a lot quite. The kitchen is big, the bathroom is small but ok. It really needs decorating but I think Lindsay will not do anything much to it, instead saving the money for the next place. The only downside its upstairs and Lindsay will need to carry Suey her dog up and down them. She is a collie staffy cross so not lightweight. Knowing Lindsay she will find a way. I said to her she be have to have a hoist like the Dutch people in Amsterdam. All the best Lindsay and family, relax now and breathe. </p><p><br /></p><p>30th </p><p>Visit to see Rory and Mary, I took Rory a chew and Mary some Christmas cake which she loves. I told her that there was alcohol in it, she said oh good. A good chat with her. Rory sat as close as he could, he ate his chew and kept snuggling up to me. Some how he makes me feel calmer, he was Summer best friend and they truly loved one another. A few tears though out the visit but I enjoyed the afternoon with them both.

She passed away on the sixth of January at six am, in my Son Andrew's arms, less than twenty-four hours after the vet told us the devastating news by phone, following a blood test. She was in tears herself as she had not seen a more lovely and more beautiful westie dog. I told her this was the first time she had bean to the vet when ill. Only going for jabs and yearly checkups. She originally thought it was gastroenteritis. Rest in peace little pup you are very much missed. </p><p>I did not put out a January Blog.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">The sky at sunset 31st Jan.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKfg1SrceOaofx54nA9CkKA7UMxlZCY6Nx1D5TzqGWp7lmFcVQjmUVWBVZ4aNXmu043Uvpk3bBW-ei8odozQ2BhL88bmwoaFdOHzdry1pm8Noa2B-YdptgQMmd7sxr3eKtHZpxZXxm8lgwn7ufVZt1aoem2MiKQOg33AWCRVY5H5kpDRRUeQvbL6Qe/s3264/IMG_7776.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKfg1SrceOaofx54nA9CkKA7UMxlZCY6Nx1D5TzqGWp7lmFcVQjmUVWBVZ4aNXmu043Uvpk3bBW-ei8odozQ2BhL88bmwoaFdOHzdry1pm8Noa2B-YdptgQMmd7sxr3eKtHZpxZXxm8lgwn7ufVZt1aoem2MiKQOg33AWCRVY5H5kpDRRUeQvbL6Qe/s320/IMG_7776.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtEPmogZmz1soH6xSlaqgy51RYKi5K4JGxE5RRZp99UVUKwz05i3UH6PtgcxqdTwAIUsY_1F6SZ25lMPsAzVbn1Vg0nkpUl5OateI-a6HgfmhPIDHZ2-W8bNUUIPBtzwBuexDeibiT9QvEEnRL6AlfaVPlNrGRctqBmzXIG6UeEDfb5AX8pZLaa_RG/s3264/IMG_7777.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtEPmogZmz1soH6xSlaqgy51RYKi5K4JGxE5RRZp99UVUKwz05i3UH6PtgcxqdTwAIUsY_1F6SZ25lMPsAzVbn1Vg0nkpUl5OateI-a6HgfmhPIDHZ2-W8bNUUIPBtzwBuexDeibiT9QvEEnRL6AlfaVPlNrGRctqBmzXIG6UeEDfb5AX8pZLaa_RG/s320/IMG_7777.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilcmNvaw-hA3ABzGaCrdQTifmAPsnW0NIjowmtoBe_dvsrmC8VAvNNkTmZQJZ4zxm1K07GXXj3gY0PvpS1QyxbGp_vHDfC7umee7Lh_bE4Wl2g2b2Sv0_4BSV3BXqCP3mRjHpAwTkh74OTPiTp3FSatvfc-cMB30erHbXDXg1L6fv09_fNEd32QUcB/s3264/IMG_7778.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilcmNvaw-hA3ABzGaCrdQTifmAPsnW0NIjowmtoBe_dvsrmC8VAvNNkTmZQJZ4zxm1K07GXXj3gY0PvpS1QyxbGp_vHDfC7umee7Lh_bE4Wl2g2b2Sv0_4BSV3BXqCP3mRjHpAwTkh74OTPiTp3FSatvfc-cMB30erHbXDXg1L6fv09_fNEd32QUcB/s320/IMG_7778.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw73e4zqr8tRtzF1RnWuvmdprqq5NuPYiQeywLY_7Y4xL2WZ11SQR1mCxU2mPFI46xn5Tht7-LUku3-dWwdj-Ltj2RDM4VOC1JonjXQ8kzq9MJoRsz8JPqBtJOgWbpHNXprGU-_7_4oR_FOQ01bk36XvicwFEQ-3QR-rWPdjwbbu14S_xeOF3MZFU1/s3264/IMG_7779.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw73e4zqr8tRtzF1RnWuvmdprqq5NuPYiQeywLY_7Y4xL2WZ11SQR1mCxU2mPFI46xn5Tht7-LUku3-dWwdj-Ltj2RDM4VOC1JonjXQ8kzq9MJoRsz8JPqBtJOgWbpHNXprGU-_7_4oR_FOQ01bk36XvicwFEQ-3QR-rWPdjwbbu14S_xeOF3MZFU1/s320/IMG_7779.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmQxJo5OtSNfzBdQE8rHwKmulKeIlxsjnnWc9MwJKNs41XMgsfoSIXc18qX5DXZZ2y1aMIju0cGJ3oen8Enbc2zexnxRdxtqH6MlyIuNGS3_6yWZSrXvFCNVHcqzbfeNI5l6_g1ITRE9Cjc80H9PkzOdC0w2AXbsmzG8P3-GCC-gf87eKhTUQs9ITy/s3264/IMG_7780.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmQxJo5OtSNfzBdQE8rHwKmulKeIlxsjnnWc9MwJKNs41XMgsfoSIXc18qX5DXZZ2y1aMIju0cGJ3oen8Enbc2zexnxRdxtqH6MlyIuNGS3_6yWZSrXvFCNVHcqzbfeNI5l6_g1ITRE9Cjc80H9PkzOdC0w2AXbsmzG8P3-GCC-gf87eKhTUQs9ITy/s320/IMG_7780.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>February 1st</p><p>My friend Jenny is having a cataract operation on her eye today. Hope things go well for her. I will ring her later to see how things went. Angela came round to see me and brought flowers, that was really nice of her. She was not sure what to say to me about Summer. </p><p>Went to see my friend Mary and Rory her dog. I was a little bothered how this would be as Rory was Summer's boyfriend. When Mary came to see me straight from the common on January 12th. Rory was looking for Summer and kept looking at me confused. I gave him a chew that Summer and I had wrapped up for his Christmas present. Because I did not see them over Christmas, I decided to wait till later. He ate it under the table and then put his paw on my knee. The time came for them to go. He did not really want to go and kept looking at me still confused. Mary phoned me later to say that after Rory had bean cleaned up from the common. He is a collie-type dog and like Summer when he gets a mucky belly. He went under her table, a place where he only goes when he is scared or frightened like bonfire night. The visit to Mary's and Rory's was a mixture of tears and smiles. Rory hardly left me at all, even trying to get in the toilet with me. </p><p><br /></p><p>4th</p><p><br /></p><p>Not a good night, I keep hearing Summer crying, and one time I got out of bed to go downstairs. Andrew and I are going for a walk along the river bank (anywhere apart from the common) I can't face that yet. Lovely walk bit cold, but quiet though. We did see other little dogs, one came right up to us for a fuss, I did not know him. I think Dogs when you're sad even the ones that you have not seen before know how you feel. Summer always did and has shared many of my fears and tears. A bit more Knitting later of a blanket, that is now on its third pattern as things did not go well with the first two. I am doing the same style but all one colour this time as the blanket I made for my friend Debbie's Christmas present, finished in November's blog on the 15th. Picture when finished.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil7U3OBCA_ykB_E6g_gF3SclaqmjwfPpRyA3XF5L5Dwnf1c2gvwAVzPn7GntzXzldLNxl94fPo6FKfNVD11EAcYcnCVCKq3gNR_afToGChPzZvYnYceWWwOe-Q3pO27sf9lQPCL3EvEbfe8DmHSOIij_5oEzyvHpI6h1bi33tILfj64yZAIbbUOEY4/s3264/2022-11-30%20002.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil7U3OBCA_ykB_E6g_gF3SclaqmjwfPpRyA3XF5L5Dwnf1c2gvwAVzPn7GntzXzldLNxl94fPo6FKfNVD11EAcYcnCVCKq3gNR_afToGChPzZvYnYceWWwOe-Q3pO27sf9lQPCL3EvEbfe8DmHSOIij_5oEzyvHpI6h1bi33tILfj64yZAIbbUOEY4/s320/2022-11-30%20002.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Debbie's Blanket.</div><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"> </span></p><p>7th</p><p>Frosty and quite cold first off. Washing out so that's good. I feel very lost as I am on my own most of the time. When I was very upset, Summer's picture popped up on Goggle's home hub, and just looked at me. Maybe her spirit is here, not too sure what I believe about that though. I still feel very angry about her going well before her time. A lot of people on the common thought she was younger than twelve around six, most said. But she was twelve and would have gone on a lot longer.</p><p><br /></p><p>8th</p><p>Paul and I went to see our friend John as it's his Birthday today. He is out a lot so to catch him in we went at night after tea, I made him a cake and Andrew made him a coaster with John's Brew on it. He liked both very much. I know he will enjoy his cake maybe a slice later. </p><p><br /></p><p>9th</p><p>Going to see Jenny today, she said she was having a bit of a problem putting her eye drops in, and wanted me to see if she was doing it right. She was, I said you will get used to it then the time will be up and drops are no longer needed. A nice time few tears but I suppose that will be like that for a long time. Jenny is not a dog person but she really liked Summer. Everyone did. I am altering a pair of trousers for her. </p><p><br /></p><p>10th</p><p>Paul has gone to Halifax to pick up Wayne and Kayleigh they are here for two days. This time they will stay at a Hotel nearby, The Tennison. We only have a single bed so Wayne usually sleeps on the settee. Not the best so this time he booked the hotel. Also, it's Summer's bedroom or what used to be. We have not seen them since last July, Wayne's Birthday. They did not come at Christmas as they and we were ill. This was Christmas day for us and them and we exchanged presents. Lindsay and Jamie-Lee are also coming around for Chinese tea. A very good day apart from a lot of pain for me. RSD, always there to spoil things for me. My left arm and shoulder still hurts from where I fell on the ice near the shed last December 17th.</p><p><br /></p><p>11th</p><p>Wayne and Kayleigh had a good night apart from the room being a little warm. The present from them for my Birthday on 13th Feb was a "Tree of Life" a lovely glass one.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO4PSrF8soId0l1xUhcQRLr7o3alSQ8_WfXFW9-cNAAuek9aTxOP76AWwuLq6PuLlwtHhhjgGmaaPXnQpdEZuiBmnTWSFw-d9KoOa0VzuzPMksyob5sMnRH2dEV7LaCKXvh90G7_OkUONMi4CKoQUr61W6t2jqy7J8mOdZCBlGG0lzQJ4mLYT8KJK5/s3264/IMG_7894.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO4PSrF8soId0l1xUhcQRLr7o3alSQ8_WfXFW9-cNAAuek9aTxOP76AWwuLq6PuLlwtHhhjgGmaaPXnQpdEZuiBmnTWSFw-d9KoOa0VzuzPMksyob5sMnRH2dEV7LaCKXvh90G7_OkUONMi4CKoQUr61W6t2jqy7J8mOdZCBlGG0lzQJ4mLYT8KJK5/s320/IMG_7894.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlopXsztcrlzAIEDpPkQW1ZeHZ-c2xxsNoEy0T9Ww1R76l5ll20oIFCSgaWANYFJ0ZiOBlCfVwHJaLD53gsP_fdTeot-YnZlZozmNUFMSq_UdRSbQGXFLXlZpbryOKJwlpPrI_-cmWP3ify3zrluneR6mD9mzHdMzt46rTty0hk8VXFCapz0jsLPiE/s3264/IMG_7827.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlopXsztcrlzAIEDpPkQW1ZeHZ-c2xxsNoEy0T9Ww1R76l5ll20oIFCSgaWANYFJ0ZiOBlCfVwHJaLD53gsP_fdTeot-YnZlZozmNUFMSq_UdRSbQGXFLXlZpbryOKJwlpPrI_-cmWP3ify3zrluneR6mD9mzHdMzt46rTty0hk8VXFCapz0jsLPiE/s320/IMG_7827.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p><br /></p><p>Paul did us all bacon butties for late breakfast they were good.

Paul was at a football match Lincoln City v Bristol. Lincoln won 1-0. Paul returned from football and Lindsay did tea for us all. Wayne, Kayleigh, and Paul only had chip butties, as they were getting a meal later a takeaway of some sort. Everyone else had chips with something. Good, they were too.

He asked if I had it X-rayed I said no and told him I did not fancy waiting three to four hours to see someone at A and E. He did not reply to this knowing I was right. I said to him I think I cracked a bone in my forearm and did some to my shoulder, it's getting better so I am not worried about it. Even If I had gone to A and E I do not think they would have put a plaster on, more like a tubagrip or something like that. </p><p><br /></p><p>18th</p><p>Doing Blog today not an easy one to do as about Summer.</p><p>I watched a new Star Trek with Andrew today Picard- it was good. A lot of the older Star Trek actors are making an appearance. This will be on every week as well. Something to look forward to. My cold has got a good hold and making me feel really off it. I have not had a cold like this for years. Lindsay is not well either a chest infection.</p><p><br /></p><p> 17th</p><p>Well, it's bean six weeks since my beautiful little girl passed away. How do I feel ?? Absolutely devastated, angry, very angry, in disbelief, lost, and in pain. Just about every emotion you could think of. Mary said people on the common were in tears when she told them. The postman did not ring the doorbell for a month, as he could not face me. Summer was his favourite little dog by far. He used to make a big fuss of her. I blame myself, but everyone says it is not my fault. Her feet were wiped every time she came in from her walk. Quite warm today spring-like day.</p><p><br /></p><p>19th</p><p>Another warm day. I do not feel the best today, I ache everywhere and feel quite weak. My chest is tight and I am coughing up stuff. I do not want Antibiotics unless I have to I think it weakens you. Best to let your body heal itself if possible. Lindsay is not well either a bad chest infection she needed Antibiotics and steroids. </p><p><br /></p><p>21st</p><p>Still not much better but need to move as my muscles are getting very tight and going into spasms. Sorted out the flowers that I got for my Birthday as some are past it now. Flowers are very nice but do not last long when the central heating is on. </p><p><br /></p><p>22nd</p><p>My friend Jenny here after having her hair done looks very nice as always. Gave her the trousers I altered for her. Her eye is doing well after her cataract procedure. She did get better at doing the drops as well. Nice catch-up chat she said it was strange without Summer here. Steak for tea tonight, very nice too. After I had finished I saw I had left a bit on my plate for Summer as I usually did, not thinking. </p><p><br /></p><p>23rd</p><p>Doing a bit more of Andrew's hoodie going better now, I had to pull down the hood as a lot too big. Over the years of knitting, I have found that in a lot of patterns, the hood is too big. In baby/children's I usually do the size hood down from the rest. This normally works well. The lady who I made the cardigan and baby blanket for came to pick them up. She was very pleased and gave me more than I asked for. She would like another blanket as well in white. I have not got enough white to do it so a trip to the wool lady soon.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_xqFfsc3tixa5ZiJBlFrnG6fLfV-qsR6FlkACF7yeEKR7guR3mKtR7FYx0Jm2W5NRhTFmA7NWyIO5W1GRH28ytpm3h9tfTZGXttEtD_nA3ppKKIbMuFEzREqbbOMDKDg_v0Zt-C3QV4Uq7Lxc-UOBXGpx05X5JfwtnvubZ0yGFl5MB_Nwlt8brDXK/s3264/IMG_7862.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_xqFfsc3tixa5ZiJBlFrnG6fLfV-qsR6FlkACF7yeEKR7guR3mKtR7FYx0Jm2W5NRhTFmA7NWyIO5W1GRH28ytpm3h9tfTZGXttEtD_nA3ppKKIbMuFEzREqbbOMDKDg_v0Zt-C3QV4Uq7Lxc-UOBXGpx05X5JfwtnvubZ0yGFl5MB_Nwlt8brDXK/s320/IMG_7862.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Baby blanket.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQtR22Vd1EBcYOzTQfbts60xTUCjAtrRqrLlP37Ijr1TbpOxTUVAenTczDY9LsKzW2qKhQR4vaVd5-KNQQ_UkKMf8FpDk91_AyhJOHga59iwflQVl4IDf4EkSn2S7i0eijls5iIAJ_f8Ucpblmy_uxSiVoFaz6icqumn7WFVxzwbcu_-klRPRwpBLj/s3264/IMG_7870.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQtR22Vd1EBcYOzTQfbts60xTUCjAtrRqrLlP37Ijr1TbpOxTUVAenTczDY9LsKzW2qKhQR4vaVd5-KNQQ_UkKMf8FpDk91_AyhJOHga59iwflQVl4IDf4EkSn2S7i0eijls5iIAJ_f8Ucpblmy_uxSiVoFaz6icqumn7WFVxzwbcu_-klRPRwpBLj/s320/IMG_7870.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Cardigan.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYQ0YonjhM53664I3XfMiJdUQ4uMLYcboW_bnJu79CBOhqSvnTXVDo16TsDH8mNk5KJKNgdoKZqUEr_tTu4eBNhFa9Zbrf5RnM0W9f1kps0an4RWzUm02f9nzFUDrV80Y5huivCJPQzOTKijcz9V1mwPOO-mFhxl-K0jg5-BrgPh0Vj09i70f2EcZh/s3264/IMG_7879.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYQ0YonjhM53664I3XfMiJdUQ4uMLYcboW_bnJu79CBOhqSvnTXVDo16TsDH8mNk5KJKNgdoKZqUEr_tTu4eBNhFa9Zbrf5RnM0W9f1kps0an4RWzUm02f9nzFUDrV80Y5huivCJPQzOTKijcz9V1mwPOO-mFhxl-K0jg5-BrgPh0Vj09i70f2EcZh/s320/IMG_7879.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Both.</div><p></p><p><br /></p><p>In town today, a rarity nowadays to get the white wool I need for the blanket, the wool lady had no white at all in fact she was waiting for a lot of her stock to come in. I did get some Aran wool for a baby cardigan I am making later on in the year so not quite a wasted journey. I still need some circle needles for Andrew's hoodie. I do not like the curved needle ones and that's all I have bean able to see at the moment. They make my wrists hurt and that is what they are designed not to do, be ergonomic.</p><p><br /></p><p>25th</p><p>Up before eight that's not much time in bed (bed usually around 3-4am) but I need to get up soon after I wake or the spasms start and they are not easy to get rid of. In the afternoon I went to see Mary and Rory. Rory was very pleased to see me, especially after I gave him a chew. I gave Mary her coaster and glass that Andrew made for her last year. She tried it out while I was there, and said it was perfect. I was to thank Andrew. She was very pleased with it saying how clever he was. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb0HUQJlrF-V1p-nEyLbp8s2Z8TILWI9i_QNjiyG1qgSDdNuzqmlgzRVIgFcKm12DcH6FM-55WlPkMJWLqh9f09vTuftVgOMMl2a9F8JhID-3fSMCBisVzWxvZwCMgRkxo63DUxXAmIt8d98aeF49apP90zS3KVNo8aBPzs-2c_4y01TOYQSSIn7Uv/s4048/DSCF6986.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3040" data-original-width="4048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb0HUQJlrF-V1p-nEyLbp8s2Z8TILWI9i_QNjiyG1qgSDdNuzqmlgzRVIgFcKm12DcH6FM-55WlPkMJWLqh9f09vTuftVgOMMl2a9F8JhID-3fSMCBisVzWxvZwCMgRkxo63DUxXAmIt8d98aeF49apP90zS3KVNo8aBPzs-2c_4y01TOYQSSIn7Uv/s320/DSCF6986.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-v9MObdZ2jRgJO13F0IAuXH7nnSTt5AurRiCJ4oKeBjN9qLUfqdQ0SUTNfXFjkjdZhnk867WdDzpltxoyUaPEdI6bWk_2bN64QPSoFi8P9xw_THCvJFyv6k5hoiv5WER5Y4zrgANt4PUX71d2NkYd5L9a4q1RdzKpe1oZ3xcUC4VuKxD_LAfUvIBu/s4048/DSCF6995.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3040" data-original-width="4048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-v9MObdZ2jRgJO13F0IAuXH7nnSTt5AurRiCJ4oKeBjN9qLUfqdQ0SUTNfXFjkjdZhnk867WdDzpltxoyUaPEdI6bWk_2bN64QPSoFi8P9xw_THCvJFyv6k5hoiv5WER5Y4zrgANt4PUX71d2NkYd5L9a4q1RdzKpe1oZ3xcUC4VuKxD_LAfUvIBu/s320/DSCF6995.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnoxMegDf8AHTk61_tWe5V6A1SuGGSARuYG6E0hBSb_wwvtL2-jX6Zw57K4RZSN6I-cJ4MwnJKezTzF04O7VL_Gk-EHLsUmjqEC4P-H9s_DXrv6OIzgBatrm1_XarsjSpuahRMoNLFLPy-dbmbKRMTezhr4hgNN6HVdPe63FbqFDWMjq1eX8SeXnEZ/s4048/DSCF7082.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3040" data-original-width="4048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnoxMegDf8AHTk61_tWe5V6A1SuGGSARuYG6E0hBSb_wwvtL2-jX6Zw57K4RZSN6I-cJ4MwnJKezTzF04O7VL_Gk-EHLsUmjqEC4P-H9s_DXrv6OIzgBatrm1_XarsjSpuahRMoNLFLPy-dbmbKRMTezhr4hgNN6HVdPe63FbqFDWMjq1eX8SeXnEZ/s320/DSCF7082.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p> </p><p>She gave me a present a Lillie plant very pretty I said why a present for me she said for a late Birthday and a friend's one.

My friend John would like a sponge cake instead. Everyone else that's it, no more cakes for them. One year I made thirteen cakes. I also made chilli for tea, Paul said it was hot. I have not got my taste, or sense of smell back yet after having COVID. </p><p><br /></p><p>2nd </p><p>Started making my friend John a pair of gloves with 4ply wool, but this did not go too well. Problems with my fingers. So I changed to double knitting wool this went a lot better. Not sure why I could not knit with the 4ply as I have made many pairs of gloves and hats with it. My hands can be good at times, and at others, they will not do what I want them to do. It's like having a pair of boxing gloves on. Andrews's hoddie is going well though. I ache a lot today just about everywhere.</p><p><br /></p><p>3rd</p><p>Made cake number two today so that's my lot this year, just need to marzipan them and ice them. I finished off glove one for John so it was a good thing I changed the wool or I think I would still be messing around with knitting them. </p><p><br /></p><p>4th</p><p>Out for dinner today with Paul and some of his group. I have not bean out for a meal for ages, in fact, I have not bean anywhere apart from the common. The meal was good a Christmas-type one for me. With still having no taste it was a bit like, well, weird. Hopefully, it will soon be recovered and I am able to taste once again. The trouble is when a lot of people get together there is also noise and this is not good for me. One lady is very loud and makes herself heard where ever she is. At times it was a bit much for me. I did enjoy it, nice to get out for a change.</p><p><br /></p><p>5th</p><p>I have finished off John's gloves now I did not take a picture, as same as Roberto's gloves. I am making Andy a pair also I think there will be just about enough wool. I have bean having a lot of nose bleeds just lately. The tablets I take for my heart condition, I have bean told they are making an existing problem worse. Also a lot of dizzy spells too. Just another thing to put up with. </p><p><br /></p><p>6th</p><p>While out today, on Summer and my walk I noticed the leaves that are still on the trees, were coming off and it looked like it was snowing. I think the frost and cold have just about left a lot of the trees bare, there are still some with leaves but very few now. Afternoon shopping in town I did very well with presents too. I had to ring Paul up to pick me up as I could not have carried them further than I did. Another mile to go was a bit much. </p><p><br /></p><p>7th</p><p>It would have bean my Dad's 100th birthday today. Happy Birthday, Dad. Even though it is now nearly eighteen years I still miss him and Mum very much. Also, my Brother Phillip who was seventeen. Not going today to visit them. </p><p>Ironing and a bit on the computer. I have started Andy's gloves so will soon see if I have enough wool. I added another colour on the wrist so it should be enough. Did a bit more of Andrews hoddie this is going well. I have put a poster in the window saying that I can make things in knitting and also pictures of things I have made. Another cold night a lot of things have bean got at by the frost, so there is quite a bit of gardening and tidying up to do. Then it will look very bare, but this is the time when the garden rests, ready for next Spring.</p><p><br /></p><p>8th</p><p>Went to see Mum, Dad, and Phillip at the garden of rest. Very cold so did not stay as long as I would have liked. Put new flowers on. Also, visited my past next-door neighbour's grave. I left flowers for them. </p><p><br /></p><p>10th</p><p>Another very cold morning, Summer and I saw Mary and she said she was very cold, Rory was running around as usual. Paul is at football I am pleased I am not, at least when I ran I was moving. Finished off the gloves for Andy I just made it the wool I had left was around three feet. I now can concentrate more on Andrews's hoddie. </p><p><br /></p><p>12th</p><p>Went into town Christmas shopping with Paul. We got quite a lot of things. We split up and when Paul had finished he went home. I still had things to do so I walked home later. I saw Mary and her Granson Kayland, he is flying to Austria tomorrow so just getting the last-minute bits. Got back just before it got dark and cold. </p><p>13th</p><p><br /></p><p>Very cold again on the common hands were blue and white and very painful, and that's with two pairs of gloves on. Squidgy, a Neighbour from two doors away that moved a while back came around. Things are going well with the build for his extension to the bungalow. Early next year they should be in and everyone should have more room. Good to see him, next week he will bring Emmie around to see us. Kaylan came to see Andrew be for he left tomorrow he was a bit stressed but left happier than he came. A lady saw my knitting poster and asked me to knit two cardigans and a pram blanket for her. I was pleased and maybe there will be more orders</p><p><br /></p><p>14th</p><p>Very cold again still -2c at 9am and it did not get much warmer after the sun came out.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Looked and felt a lot cleaner. A bit more knitting of Andrew's hoodie. Started a little cardigan for the lady going well doing a bit of that and a bit of Andrews hoodie. Gives my hands a rest as fewer stitches for a baby cardigan.</p><p><br /></p><p>15th</p><p>Another cold walk on the common, Summer does not seem to mind the cold at all. She just plays with her ball and has a good time. The morning was different, to say the least. Doing my Blog, but the laptop decided it was not going to be helpful today. Took ages to load up then was slow. People at the door, deliveries, and phone calls. One thing that was nice, was a visit from a friend that I have not seen in a while. That was lovely, after Christmas, I am going to see her as she lives quite close now. Dentist, all good there, just a check-up, polish and clean up, twenty-three pounds later I left. A little bit of shopping then home. Summer was pleased to see me after a chew for her, we sat and cuddled on my chair, and she was very happy I was home. Summer was sick a few times today I think she might have picked up something off the common. She is always finding things to eat, some not always very good for her. </p><p><br /></p><p>16th</p><p>Another very cold walk my hands were white and blue again. Saw Debbie and Monty also Mary and Rory. He had bean to the groomers and looked very smart. We started walking and noticed Summer was standing there just watching us. I looked for horses but there were none. She does not like them. Mary said I know what it is, she did not get a treat when we first met. Mary said, come for a treat then, she ran towards us, and she and Rory got one each. One happy Summer again what a cheeky little dog. Sorted out some different gloves for tomorrow. Hopefully, my hands will be warmer and less painful. I can use hand warmers but they do not last long and it's not really a good idea to have your hands in your pockets on the common in case you trip. Paul is shopping today and Lindsay has gone with him.</p><p><br /></p><p>17th</p><p>Early hours of the morning I fell near the shed, just slipped on the ice that had formed. I think water started dripping off the roof and formed a puddle then froze. I went with a crash on my back and bum, hitting my head as I went down. I thought I had really hurt my arm and back as I could not move for quite a while. I was shaking some with cold -5c that night and some with pain. After what seemed a long time I slowly got up. My back and arm hurt so much. I had a big bump on my head at the back. I sat for quite a while before I went to bed. This could have bean a lot worse as I could have gone forward on my hands, broke my wrist or worse. or even knocked myself out. I did wonder if Summer would have stayed with me or just gone to bed. I had left the door open a bit so she could get in and not wait for me to lock up the shed. I did not wake Paul up, he could have done nothing anyway. Overnight awake a lot, in pain. </p><p><br /></p><p>18th </p><p>Big bruise on my bum and lower back very sore shoulder and arm I can hardly move without pain. A very big lump at the back of my head, but apart from that ok. Had Jamie-Lee most of the day she was good and we played games. Summer seems to be fine now so it must have bean something she picked up off the common.</p><p><br /></p><p>19th</p><p>Yesterday I iced the Christmas cakes, only two this year like I said. Jamie-Lee here again for a bit. We played games again and started a Harry Potter puzzle, she loves anything to do with Harry Potter. We also went on the common with Summer who played with her ball and both enjoyed themselves a lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>20th</p><p>Cleaning up today got so much done then stopped till later. My friend Jenny came round to see me. She got a roll for her dinner, and could not get it open. I tried to cut it with the scissors, but took off part of her nail instead, which made her shout out. I was so, so sorry. She was ok and managed to file it in a shape of sorts. She said the roll was horrible after all that. Paul was trying to get the water heater to work properly, something it has not done for quite a few weeks now. He somehow managed to make it worse, it did not work at all then. He worked on it some more and made it a lot better in the end. We now have very hot water instead of just barely hot. I had a nice hot bath later with salts in for my back and bum bruises. Lindsay's friend has asked me to make her Daughter a pair of gloves. These will not take long as she is only nine. I now have a selection of things to knit,</p><p>21st</p><p>Made John his sponge cake it felt a bit heavy so not sure how it will taste. John will soon tell me when he gets it. Squidgy and Emmie came round and gave them presents for Ben (Emmie's Brother) and Emmie. Their bungalow work is going well and soon will be finished, Next year I will be able to see it all done.</p><p><br /></p><p>22nd</p><p>Taking presents out to relatives today. His Mum and Dad, Paul's Brother Malcum and wife Pam. Also, my Brother David and his wife Bev, whose Birthday is today. Garry was there as well my Nephew. They have two dogs and both were sniffing the present bag. Bits for them inside. Came home and cooked tea then a bit more knitting. Wayne and Kayleigh are not well flue like bug. It's doubtful Wayne will be here for Christmas. Kayleigh is at her relations for Christmas day if well enough, so just Wayne here. </p><p>24th</p><p>Wayne is not well enough to come so he will be missed. Hopefully at the end of the year or next year.</p><p>25th</p><p>Merry Christmas everyone, hope you have a good day. I am looking after Andy's cat while he is at his Mum and Dad. He is a very loving cat and likes a lot of fuss. Also, there is another cat who Andy has named Bob, I did not see him at all. Andy left them a Stocking for today with their favourite bits in it. Christmas dinner there was seven of us. Tommy-Lee was not well, so was not here Jack did not turn up either. (friend of the family) Everything was cooked well, Lindsay helped me put it out as that gets me very mixed up and I forget whose meal is whose. Andrew said he had a good day as well. Took the cats some turkey but only smudge there. He ate it all. Summer had turkey as well and enjoyed it too.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxplYEbtpxc-MA5zkxWEjKIBrOGUi8wTXtExsbUvaJnUpN_FCxeDCN__s8R6Rl6QGjoc0ObY9s1mRqZI-J79KC3mlYqhVQQGI_a0OZaBw_khHYyGJ-0SdNh4nUYHAv14TUs5VrFfEkMCaQpMcXTv6abI3zxj-MB2gimJhBqZiCP_JbZrAGM_8GEWqp/s3264/2022-12-25%20001.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxplYEbtpxc-MA5zkxWEjKIBrOGUi8wTXtExsbUvaJnUpN_FCxeDCN__s8R6Rl6QGjoc0ObY9s1mRqZI-J79KC3mlYqhVQQGI_a0OZaBw_khHYyGJ-0SdNh4nUYHAv14TUs5VrFfEkMCaQpMcXTv6abI3zxj-MB2gimJhBqZiCP_JbZrAGM_8GEWqp/s320/2022-12-25%20001.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Summer enjoying her day she kept these on for ages.</div><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>27th</p><p>Jay-Jay and his girlfriend Molly came to see us all. Not really sean Molly much at all, so it was nice to see them both together. Andy came back from his Mum and Dads, he said Smudge was very pleased to see him. Spoke to John he said his cake was lovely, good I said. John all so liked his gloves and said they felt very warm on. </p><p><br /></p><p>29th</p><p>A very windy day got the bedding out and it has all dried. I can not remember the last time I put washing out. Very cold and windy on the common, We saw Mary who I have not seen since be for Christmas and of course Rory. A nice but very fresh walk on the common. For Andrew's hoodie, I need two circular needles for the hood and neck, ordered them today on Amazon. </p><p><br /></p><p>30th</p><p>Summer seems to be off it a bit, she is sleeping more. Could just be the after-Christmas tiredness, but she is not usually like this. She is eating her tea as normal though so maybe she is just tired. I have now finished off the pram blanket. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPuPM5GsJZLtZzlo8UiNzrlX3EzR7j769LmkxzBqr8YWGPhFgs3BIUxDuHJwYb-ghnM53X1bX_VUnOl4THYXOg2GIdx8yGGaIYsGiu8SJSewtTLXKrT04VrYGQ8dUq_ye3C1XjbczFdu1ofDmHAGMUQzGqlGjXl7anU9GfODVmavLLF03oPPj0J-Hi/s3264/2023-01-03%20001.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPuPM5GsJZLtZzlo8UiNzrlX3EzR7j769LmkxzBqr8YWGPhFgs3BIUxDuHJwYb-ghnM53X1bX_VUnOl4THYXOg2GIdx8yGGaIYsGiu8SJSewtTLXKrT04VrYGQ8dUq_ye3C1XjbczFdu1ofDmHAGMUQzGqlGjXl7anU9GfODVmavLLF03oPPj0J-Hi/s320/2023-01-03%20001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Hope she likes it.</div><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Paul has got this virus that is going around with cough and cold-like symptoms. He was hoping to get some cough stuff to ease the coughing. The chemist said he could not have it as he was diabetic. I think in Paul's case it would not have mattered.</p><p>31st</p><p>The last day of 2022 what will next year bring?? Summer is being sick with a lot of yellow-green flem. stuff. She is not eating her tea now, I have done her scrambled egg which she did eat. But she was sick again later what is wrong with her?</p><p>Andrew and I watched the firework display from around us lot going on and plenty of bangs and colour. Summer watched too barking and doing her usual protecting. I thought she was picking up a bit but she was sick again later, the same as before. </p><p><br /></p><p>Well, another year passed by. I think 22022 was getting back to near normal after the CVID PANDEMIC. Not too bad for me, what will next year bring? All the best to you all and hope next year is a good one for everyone Love Gill.</p><p><br /></p><p>Our Beautiful, pretty, funny, little Westie Summer, passed away on the sixth of January at six am in Andrew's arms. The pain in my heart was real I think it just broke. She was twelve but acted more like she was six. She had everything to live for. We were told to start with by the vets, (5th Jan) that it was gastroenteritis. She took blood from her and phoned up later to tell us it was Antifreeze poisoning and nothing could be done as her kidneys had packed up. Even if we had taken her sooner it would have bean no good as the damage was done to her tiny body straight away. My baby had bean poisoned by antifreeze. How am I going to live without her? Our hearts are broken. She was my life. Love Gill.</p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinC4RRNOtCdGEgYPKeN7DMQLNOfrhjWzTHuUnnjWcVowRAEOmvFfCTVX-XnQQeJhhwqNUQOwuITQoxACgukGCTu8doOi36pwOqYcu7M49xTvsWAupeqVuYIaoWxJmCgzleWvwotMYyv-KX8ULpXKTBOz4B-FKBwUSQ18BILPuhEPZ6Uo5Kc2mj8_Gu/s3264/2023-01-09%20001.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinC4RRNOtCdGEgYPKeN7DMQLNOfrhjWzTHuUnnjWcVowRAEOmvFfCTVX-XnQQeJhhwqNUQOwuITQoxACgukGCTu8doOi36pwOqYcu7M49xTvsWAupeqVuYIaoWxJmCgzleWvwotMYyv-KX8ULpXKTBOz4B-FKBwUSQ18BILPuhEPZ6Uo5Kc2mj8_Gu/s320/2023-01-09%20001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Rest in Peace, my little girl.</div><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">There will be no January Blog. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Gill Pyrahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16554599037210034283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1255014379495295812.post-91183308919175011052022-11-30T14:17:00.001+00:002022-12-03T22:09:19.403+00:00November<p>1st</p><p>Went out with Andrew and Summer for a walk. My body felt very heavy and I was out of breath a lot, but it was so good to be on the common once more, even if it was just for a short time. Summer was pleased I was there as well. She has enjoyed Andrew talking her, as he played ball with her a lot more than I do. She came back puffing and panting, but very happy. I am still having to rest a lot, so a bit more knitting </p><p><br /></p><p>3rd</p><p>Out with Summer on my own today; we did not go too far and she played with her ball first. I kick it so no bending down to pick it up. Summer will either play for ages or just a few kicks. Today it was a short time. Home again and a sit-down, my throat is sore today, and coughing a lot more. I ache a lot too, is this COVID, RSD, or FIBO? I am still not able to go up the stairs walking, instead on my hands and knees. A least I am improving slowly but does not seem like it some days. </p><p><br /></p><p>5th</p><p>A painful lump has come up on my left leg in my vein. On that leg, there are bad varicose veins. The lump is very hot and red. The leg keeps going into spasms which is very painful. I will try to get an appointment to see a Doctor or Nurse on Monday. I think it could be <span>PH</span>LEBITUS or THROMBOSIS. </p><p><br /></p><p>7th</p><p>Paul rang up for me as he was up first up, as with most Doctors you have to ring up just after eight. A voice tells you how many are in the queue ahead of you. There were thirty-five and after half an hour it only went down from five people to twenty-five. Paul just hung up. Monday is a very busy day so try again tomorrow. Saw Debbie with one of her dogs, Kippling on our walk. She said it was good to see me out again, as it was to see her. I have not seen her since 19 October. Same with Mary and Rory, Pat and Milo. Resting today as I hurt my leg is more painful today. So a bit more of the blanket I am now on the decreasing rows so each row is one stitch less. Cheryl's gloves are now finished. She is very pleased with them and says they keep her fingers warm when on her bike.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimf-YsCIS-oMxk_ZsGzgS105r_2tBuPXlj5AshaSHYX5ItaammGxw5ACPbOcW8QpXVI5ae34RhwRaLtreK00tbFQxilbSyVzZEeGuOHYt35JBjENNK3E99h7kYnPDbI5p4Mfpt2CU4L3WEj6nXV6iE7Z1b-co81d-LNWGA_hQwZTrUHQ9Qle7f2FzS/s3264/2022-11-06%20002.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimf-YsCIS-oMxk_ZsGzgS105r_2tBuPXlj5AshaSHYX5ItaammGxw5ACPbOcW8QpXVI5ae34RhwRaLtreK00tbFQxilbSyVzZEeGuOHYt35JBjENNK3E99h7kYnPDbI5p4Mfpt2CU4L3WEj6nXV6iE7Z1b-co81d-LNWGA_hQwZTrUHQ9Qle7f2FzS/s320/2022-11-06%20002.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Cheryl's gloves.</div><p><br /></p><p>8th</p><p>Paul got me an appointment for eleven am today. Thank you, Paul. So I will soon find out what it is. Saw Mary and Pat on the common with their dogs. Rory was very pleased to see Summer. Summer was more pleased to see Mary as that means treats. She did give Rory kisses. Milo never makes much fuss but did sniff her as usual. Mary said I looked very pale. The Doctor said I have PHLEBITUS I have bean given a tube of gel, more for the pain than the lump, to use three times a day. The Doctor said it should go down over the next two weeks or so. I am to go back if no improvement. I am to raise my legs when I can, but this makes them go into very painful spasms. Walking back home was painful and I was pleased to get there.</p><p><br /></p><p>10th</p><p>A very windy day, very blustery on the common. Summers fur was very fluffed up, and she looked a lot more Puplike. She does not mind the wind in fact she goes a bit crazy and runs around a lot more. Paul is cleaning the downstairs carpets today. We have a very good carpet cleaner, 'A Bissel pro-heat 2x revolution deep cleaner.' This works very well and the carpets are touch dry within a couple of hours. They do look a lot cleaner too. I am now back on the straight needles for the knitted blanket.

They look like bunkers that the soldiers used in the war.<br /><p><br /></p><p>11th</p><p>Paul doing a bit more of the carpets this time the stairs and landing. I have bad backache today making me feel a bit sick. Hopefully, this will go off later in the day. It did not and started to spasm up. I think it's with the extra sitting I have bean doing over the last few weeks. Summer is a bit off it today and even looks unhappy in her face and eyes. She could be tired, as not sleeping much during the day.</p><p><br /></p><p>12th</p><p>Paul cleaned my chair and it looks good. We swapped the chairs over, the front room chair is a lot narrower so it was not really big enough for both of us to sit in comfortably. Summer spread out and left me very little room. Even then she was pushing me with her feet. The chair should be dry tomorrow or the next day. My back is still tight and spasming at times. My leg lump seems a bit better and less painful. </p><p><br /></p><p>13th</p><p>A very foggy start, quite thick on the common. Summer had a good walk. We saw Mary as we were going home through the park gate, Summer still got her treats, and she gave Rory a kiss, he looked a bit sad that we were not going with them today for our walk. I said to him he will able to have a good roam, but not too far away from Mary. We said our goodbyes and went home. My back is no better still spasms and pain. My friend Lyn's Birthday is today, I was going to see her but she said to come another day as her family is there today. I was quite pleased as would not have stopped very long. Have a good day Lyn, Happy Birthday to you.</p><p><br /></p><p>14th</p><p>A lot of back pain today, and my lower back and the top of my hips are quite sore. My leg lump hurts as well very tight. I have bean rubbing the gel in, this helps a little but till it goes down it will continue to hurt. I also used some on my back and hips its only IBRU gel just quite a bit stronger. I will use anything that will help with the pain.</p><p><br /></p><p>15th</p><p>Back a little better not as tight. Clean up so I think that will get the muscles moving. I cleaned out the deep fryer as well. I put a bit of soapy water in the bowl and leave it for a while. Cup of tea while it does its job. Back to the fryer, I decided to wipe the bottom of it.... yes while the water was in there. Water all over the clean cooker top and on the floor. Not a good move, a half-hour job turned into over an hour or more after doing the cooker and floor. </p><p>Later finished off Debbie's blanket I am pleased with it and bigger than I thought it would be. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtO1MI0iVRCXB14PkkyupKcXB4ZKjwxgVX00c-VXm0AOzItkRfZUA1VYcsmXZCZ66cpZBLzHSrOqenNsDUk_hbIjxKcnHoJgN23JUJSf8BvFMDigG3K9Sj0jj6GhgosL_80B1v7youF9rEWG2mHhe9cLkeKOxohbuX3H-nCk7CJdmYhnuPE5u_NXFZ/s3264/2022-11-30%20002.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtO1MI0iVRCXB14PkkyupKcXB4ZKjwxgVX00c-VXm0AOzItkRfZUA1VYcsmXZCZ66cpZBLzHSrOqenNsDUk_hbIjxKcnHoJgN23JUJSf8BvFMDigG3K9Sj0jj6GhgosL_80B1v7youF9rEWG2mHhe9cLkeKOxohbuX3H-nCk7CJdmYhnuPE5u_NXFZ/s320/2022-11-30%20002.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p>My friend John came round to see Paul and me, He is well and enjoyed his tea and cake.</p><p>16th</p><p>Rain again we have had quite a lot of it and the common is very muddy. Very tired today so having a rest day doing a bit more of the gloves for Roberto.</p><p>The gloves I made for Roberto are not good for him as he is allergic to wool. Never mind, Binaca can have two pairs, and I will make him two more. One pair with fingers one without. The wool is some that Andy across the road gave to me last week and is knitting up nicely. </p><p><br /></p><p>18th</p><p>My friend Angela and her Brother who is here for a few days from Wales came to see us. We have not seen her for quite a while so it was very nice. Went out to his car, as he had left his dog in there. He did not know how he would be with Summer. He is a cute dog, again another rescue. </p><p><br /></p><p>19th</p><p>Lindsay and Jamie-Lee came around and we played Monopoly, I won. This did not go down very well with Jamie-Lee she does not like losing. I said to her this is the first time I have ever won while playing with them. She soon got over it, especially when Lindsay said they were staying for tea Chinese tonight. </p><p><br /></p><p>20th</p><p>Rain again Summer decided we were going down Sincil Bank today. Really it's not much cleaner than the common, as the holes that lead into the river get blocked and the water just stands on the road. I have a good tread on my wellies, but it only takes two seconds to be on your back like I was on the cobbles once, sliding down on my bum. This hurts and leaves bruises. I have finished off the first pair of gloves for Roberto </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p>21st</p><p>B12 injection today, this did not hurt too much this time. Blood test as well. Going to see my friend Lyn with her Birthday present. Paul took me and I am coming back by bus. A nice day just chatting and catching up with each other's life..Very cold waiting at the stop and yes, it was raining again. </p><p><br /></p><p>22nd</p><p>In town today not bean for a while, last time was when my Covid was just starting to come out. I am meeting Joy. Took her presents for Christmas and Birthday as probably not see her again this year. She is still keeping well. got a few bits as presents too. Felt a long way coming home as I've still not got all my strength back yet, or my sense of smell or taste. I can feel things like curry or ginger on my tongue but not taste or smell them. I suppose it will soon be back. Wayne said his went as well when he had covid. Very tired later and had quite a bit of pain in my back and hips, my legs are OK.</p><p><br /></p><p>25th</p><p>Sunny today, and yes not raining. Washed the bedding and it dried as well. Did a bit in the garden just tidying and trimming a few plants and the roses. I always trim back Karol's rose bush as he likes the roses and shows them to his Mum in Poland. Looking after them for him helps me as well. If they get green fly so do mine so it works both ways, and I cut a few of the roses as well. Finished off Roberto's second pair of gloves so now they have two pairs each. I made Emmie a cardigan for her Christmas present a while ago, so a picture of them both.</p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_q2ZaKY9YPCPELFGoKPk7kAozgQ8qof-5WfuQDBVQy5gt2eIe5KO2-GeJjw1Kyuf9pzOk9YXgMcApPI6u7x6Am4UKPs48VXTywOob-i8-2hYwXwn8Xt26vf6LJm0HtQllhIitWGJa76BAXN3xtjJV3WTcpn2kijCJwFsz1xv4k9vtj_CKPiEWVdKl/s3102/2022-11-29%20001.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2214" data-original-width="3102" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_q2ZaKY9YPCPELFGoKPk7kAozgQ8qof-5WfuQDBVQy5gt2eIe5KO2-GeJjw1Kyuf9pzOk9YXgMcApPI6u7x6Am4UKPs48VXTywOob-i8-2hYwXwn8Xt26vf6LJm0HtQllhIitWGJa76BAXN3xtjJV3WTcpn2kijCJwFsz1xv4k9vtj_CKPiEWVdKl/s320/2022-11-29%20001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Gloves for Roberto and Bianca.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNA0y7o65nQgHTV1beEMMEtDoTAcfeVvLXFJo0IHAmLhqxj-4Q8OoE2W6XxyHvRWNP8VS6Uf5415sEHJhrPv8w6WikrMM6AaPwyK_VPcG8QtoO2oCiRRHDZ2BvynCQaGGGePtaSrHCYopewDlvjvjVPuvJnihes7lHcOydzfOEy3OygK9gI4MVyzVL/s3264/2022-11-29%20005.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNA0y7o65nQgHTV1beEMMEtDoTAcfeVvLXFJo0IHAmLhqxj-4Q8OoE2W6XxyHvRWNP8VS6Uf5415sEHJhrPv8w6WikrMM6AaPwyK_VPcG8QtoO2oCiRRHDZ2BvynCQaGGGePtaSrHCYopewDlvjvjVPuvJnihes7lHcOydzfOEy3OygK9gI4MVyzVL/s320/2022-11-29%20005.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">Cardigan for Emmie.</p><p><br /></p><p>27th</p><p>Did all the ironing it took roughly an hour and a half.

Hopefully, it will go well. There is no pressure to get it done so I can take my time with it.</p><p><br /></p><p>29th</p><p>Not as cold today but got damp and got colder as the day went on. Met on the common another rescue dog from Romania. Mary was talking to the lady that was with him. Rory was playing with him and later Summer did too. I squatted down to stroke him and he climbed on my knee. I think he was cold, as only a little dog something like a Chihuahua. One thing with Summer; she is not jealous at all. </p><p>Well, nearly Christmas and the end of another year. I suppose it's not bean too bad for me, I have had worse years. The covid is about gone, just a froggy throat and a bit of a cough. I still have no proper taste. Summer is well and still enjoying her walk and sleeping on my chair if she can. Hope things are going as well as they can be, all the best love Gill and Summer.</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHDQZlDiwsMLKruchQ-VmRewqCm35xyq5quStigDh-L72jTyJ_REWdNIFhuW8UuXYn-CRgN314oq-1ruhTJBiyoZP0xE5pjUXqmJ71lDOd6gl-EEB5crEddScMbwhZLlzC7_z8kieebm9ia4Q1SyY7KUBQHwB6hAjmfRMY-X9RURZDBqzBVHd3WN_o/s3264/2022-10-25%20006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHDQZlDiwsMLKruchQ-VmRewqCm35xyq5quStigDh-L72jTyJ_REWdNIFhuW8UuXYn-CRgN314oq-1ruhTJBiyoZP0xE5pjUXqmJ71lDOd6gl-EEB5crEddScMbwhZLlzC7_z8kieebm9ia4Q1SyY7KUBQHwB6hAjmfRMY-X9RURZDBqzBVHd3WN_o/s320/2022-10-25%20006.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="text-align: center;">Here are things that I have made through the year to sell now:</span></p><div><span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5rt72cHwIJdtn-K_pqx27T-9moB_zIOrTjw7FbrO1cIXGoqoKHseghLkpN_DKJubiNI7lXSRzN_OO8XbjPxNJFnAyAy7eGETexY4kMY6QDhRk8HkHqI3k8kneqaX6F5gAv5rTdUzgxHnxn-7pcKEQP34dAFWu4xblwqoQDIXccBU_3_P46L5j7hyM/s3264/2022-11-28%20001.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5rt72cHwIJdtn-K_pqx27T-9moB_zIOrTjw7FbrO1cIXGoqoKHseghLkpN_DKJubiNI7lXSRzN_OO8XbjPxNJFnAyAy7eGETexY4kMY6QDhRk8HkHqI3k8kneqaX6F5gAv5rTdUzgxHnxn-7pcKEQP34dAFWu4xblwqoQDIXccBU_3_P46L5j7hyM/s320/2022-11-28%20001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjibeOaXqDeI2IlsHXvKTsuc_cYMIgD3ecEf97ef5I4HWM4OCmKWeP5RiQuERwUVeV6rAqOu4C4K3R3_AK0yaTmfSVT7yWXDOL0PdCEfyzR76fl48MXvTa_mMhYkgN9EWP_Ax1D-vEdD4Mh2XMbvgNbO4X4ur73_ZtGTUJM21BYCmYtzezXxKb4gSHg/s3264/2022-11-28%20002.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjibeOaXqDeI2IlsHXvKTsuc_cYMIgD3ecEf97ef5I4HWM4OCmKWeP5RiQuERwUVeV6rAqOu4C4K3R3_AK0yaTmfSVT7yWXDOL0PdCEfyzR76fl48MXvTa_mMhYkgN9EWP_Ax1D-vEdD4Mh2XMbvgNbO4X4ur73_ZtGTUJM21BYCmYtzezXxKb4gSHg/s320/2022-11-28%20002.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Gill Pyrahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16554599037210034283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1255014379495295812.post-65846720476833070632022-10-31T20:25:00.001+00:002023-03-13T08:46:26.767+00:00October.<p><br /> October 1st</p><p>A sunny windy day, and quite warm as well. Paul is mending a wardrobe door I broke when I fell against it. I hurt my shoulder and arm and probably be bruised later. He managed to mend it, so thank you, Paul. Andrew brought all his bedding down to wash, and everything dried well. His bedding is fleece and a thick overcover that needs longer drying. I was pleased they all dried outside and they did not need finishing off in the tumble dryer. Later my Brother Stephen and his girlfriend Sue called round to pick up a picture that Paul had taken of Stephen at the Wedding. Nice to see them here together.</p><p><br /></p><p>4th</p><p>The building at the back of us, which I call the car park is coming down fast. The dust is terrible and coats everything in a thick black covering. When the wind blows from the south it's worse as we get it all then. They have a machine that crushes the concrete and rubble finer, so all the dust flies out. This all happens at the bottom of our garden. No washing out as that gets covered as well. They do not work at the weekend so any washing gets done then. The noise and the vibrations are bad as well. Hopefully, it will soon be done. They have worked very well and fast too. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioV7gHkAURrZ2ahDrVextkc7KeMk8fbiqctoRVd11zRRtIgtELoXljpZ2iMwWKWTW2wQhJfQV30HM9xc_v_NkUoHeWLjRpFAtwauftYurweyqXU2vj6kdp0srv6kuUN88xovIkP4xQLrKXN0VDtgWDsF4SRiTRPsEeIFgA2C5-ks-phtFrKtJ4GjwG/s3264/2022-10-02%20001.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

I tried to stand but I felt sick. I think it was a bad reaction to the covid jab. I just sat in my chair feeling very strange. Around four or five Am, I crawled to bed going up the stairs on my hands and knees. When I got in bed the room was spinning or was it me? Either way, I did not feel good, very hot one minute shaking with cold the next. Slept very little. With having RSD, when my body feels extra pain, the RSD kicks in and makes it worse full body within minutes, like having flu.</p><p><br /></p><p>9th</p><p>Not feeling great but trying to keep going. Not as dizzy when sat but still dizzy when stood up. Resting today. My throat is very dry and tight and a sick feeling. My headache still bad, a lot of pain behind my eyes. </p><p><br /></p><p>10th</p><p>Still not too good, headache not as bad but now feels very fuzzy. Feeling very cold but at the same time sweating. In the afternoon I felt a bit better and even had a bit of tea. Spoke to Wayne and Kayleigh later and Wayne said that was very similar to what reaction he had with his first injection. <br /></p><p><br /></p><p>11th</p><p>Walking with Summer was hard, I felt very dizzy and weak. Debbie and Mary walked with me. Sat down the rest of the day just resting. </p><p><br /></p><p>12th</p><p>Hair cut today my hairdresser comes to the house so it should be alright as still not feeling too good. My hair looks lovely as usual and feels so much better. Summers cut tomorrow mine was ten pounds, yes a bargain. The dust coming from the car park is really bad as windy today.</p><p> </p><p>13th</p><p>The leaves are coming off the trees and making a carpet on the floor. Beginning to look very Autumn-like. Maxine arrived for Summer's haircut, which takes around an hour plus. Maxine is very good and Summer is used to her now. All finished and where is my treat, says Summer, treat given and paid £30.00 for her cut but its worth it just to have Summer calm. She looks lovely. Cleaned up the hair and then sat down as feeling a little weak. </p><p><br /></p><p>14th</p><p>Feeling a bit more normal today, very tired though. Washed down the garden, greenhouse, and plants with the hose pipe as they were thick with dust. The demolition men do not work at the weekend or have not done so far apart from one day. Going to rain later but not enough to wash it off. Looks a lot better now and the plants should feel better too, but Monday the workmen will be back, and with them the dust again. Was meant to be looking after Andy's cat as he was going to his parents, but his Mum has got covid again. Hope you get better soon. </p><p><br /></p><p>16th</p><p>Paul and I are going to a Wedding night celebration for Bev and Dave. A posh do in Raisely Hall near Nottingham. Going there the sat nav decided to stop working right, it was showing a road but not where we wanted to be. We had no idea where the sat nav was working to and from. Anyway, we got there and found the wedding party. Saw Dave and Bev also Russ and his girlfriend Claire plus their little boy Arlo who is now two years old. Running around and having a great time. The last time I saw him he was just under a year old. So good to see them all. </p><p>We sat down and a bit later my past Physio Martin, who treated me at Lincoln University came and sat with Paul and me. His wife Philippa had bean wanting to meet me for ages. When Martin was treating me I made him and his wife a teddy, in fact, I made everyone who treated me one. The place the wedding party was in was the Great Hall, lovely with big windows and even bigger beams so old and just my style. A really nice change and we both enjoyed the evening very much. We said goodbye to everyone and left around ten. When we got outside I was very cold and began to shake a lot. It took me a long time to get warm and Paul thought I was going to have a seizure but I was OK. Home again and Summer was waiting for me all excited. After a cup of tea and cuddle with Summer, I felt alright again. </p><p><br /></p><p>16th</p><p>A bit tired after yesterday's outing, I have a lot of pain as well probably from being sat in the car for quite a long time. Rest day today then hopefully will be alright.</p><p><br /></p><p>17th</p><p>Paul tested positive for COVID. Overnight I had a lot of pain in my back and hips, but this is a normal thing to happen. </p><p><br /></p><p>18th</p><p>Went into town to get wool for a blanket and gloves I am making. Sore throat and raspy voice a bit dizzy at times and cold. Early hours of the morning I stood up to go to bed and was very dizzy room spinning around and sweating as well. Crawled up the stairs, and when I got in bed the room was still going around. I did not feel too good.</p><p><br /></p><p>19th</p><p>My throat is worse today hot and shakey, headache from hell. Took Summer out but only a short walk today. I Saw Mary and Debbie both said I looked very pale. Got back and sat down for a rest. Took a COVID test and I have it as well. That was the last outing for a while taking Summer. </p><p><br /></p><p>20th-22nd </p><p>All this is a bit of a blur pain hot cold shakey hardly able to walk Paul or Andrew took me to the toilet. Hardly able to drink as my throat was so sore. Later my mouth, throat, and tongue were bleeding. Cold sores in and outside my mouth. Water was even hard to swallow as this made me cough so much, which in turn made my throat bleed more. Hardly left my chair at all just reclining on it all day. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>23rd</p><p>Bev phoned up and said a few people from the wedding do have COVID. So we could have got it from there or did we give them COVID? <br /></p><p><br /></p><p>24th</p><p>A bit more with it today not as dizzy still not the best on my feet and only leaving my chair if I have to. I ache all over my body. The RSD is having a field day and not bean very kind to me. </p><p><br /></p><p>25th</p><p>Doing a bit of knitting, a blanket for a Christmas present only garter stitch, so easy to do but even so I could only do a little bit at a time. <br /></p><p><br /></p><p>27th</p><p>Hot and dizzy first thing, but not as wobbly on my feet though. The pain is still not good headache not as bad now so that's good as that was a killer for me. Missing taking Summer out, Andrew is taking her and she enjoys her walks with him. Thank you, Andrew.<br /></p><p><br /></p><p>28th</p><p>Paul is now COVID free so a few more days and I will be hopefully soon. I do feel better a bit more each day but so weak. I have lost weight too about 6-7lbs. This will soon be made up when I am eating more as up to now hardly had anything as my throat was so sore. I have lost my taste also so everything tastes of nothing. Still dizzy when walking, having to lean against the wall many times. The car park at the back of us has bean so busy with a lot of noise and vibrations. A big pile of crushed bricks and concrete. This has not helped my pain or the RSD. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCEk5DtuWrT9dNr63tgoebh1g63bidDaRRIgHluFUCmWQOOYhd3Q_yChsFmDHIm_e_UOdey_FUDc4Fknzq2if440isDg_1jPoRLS_NVVvKjLmrhWBzuFWKDeFd1v3_uvdKm-qtwwS_uMjbWSFU0iLiuzHTn-ON4ubTgUpqibBn2uYQidDVe3grK-W4/s3264/2022-10-18%20002.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCEk5DtuWrT9dNr63tgoebh1g63bidDaRRIgHluFUCmWQOOYhd3Q_yChsFmDHIm_e_UOdey_FUDc4Fknzq2if440isDg_1jPoRLS_NVVvKjLmrhWBzuFWKDeFd1v3_uvdKm-qtwwS_uMjbWSFU0iLiuzHTn-ON4ubTgUpqibBn2uYQidDVe3grK-W4/s320/2022-10-18%20002.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP6o7RoYvr2kIoVqTCT_pMLMqoxun8L7vafYUiAWVPVgQWeOYAVIAsNjfANcEQy_JR0xEZbczW_sBRr9fp6iBHPJSsfUkailxzpHtfQQTHHvRU_4YftPkPu7QZGiPGy5NgtVYvFLHQ8B-1OIRUoZNSLpKyGAyKO39oDLbMgcKl-q76i7ujMQA5DiCQ/s3264/2022-10-25%20001.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP6o7RoYvr2kIoVqTCT_pMLMqoxun8L7vafYUiAWVPVgQWeOYAVIAsNjfANcEQy_JR0xEZbczW_sBRr9fp6iBHPJSsfUkailxzpHtfQQTHHvRU_4YftPkPu7QZGiPGy5NgtVYvFLHQ8B-1OIRUoZNSLpKyGAyKO39oDLbMgcKl-q76i7ujMQA5DiCQ/s320/2022-10-25%20001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzU6KxIcm_xC4R1NJFxq1AkZgFYixmenVRjQs0BaQZUTUYOYoyl99c8JYQXRG51QKjTShTYElm4SVugpAx9jmEMcVrl_h2oNrOYUch2TmZ4JojEQ38TWnE9S4C2EQHYQk16_zEyHqNLuhkDNjFKwn7rZqPjF2QKbaTI8-NCSWO5yRiIH0VTV5b9fra/s3264/2022-10-25%20002.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzU6KxIcm_xC4R1NJFxq1AkZgFYixmenVRjQs0BaQZUTUYOYoyl99c8JYQXRG51QKjTShTYElm4SVugpAx9jmEMcVrl_h2oNrOYUch2TmZ4JojEQ38TWnE9S4C2EQHYQk16_zEyHqNLuhkDNjFKwn7rZqPjF2QKbaTI8-NCSWO5yRiIH0VTV5b9fra/s320/2022-10-25%20002.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">The brown fence is the botom of our garden.<br /></div></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQUSdjHVagof4ShcY_sGT_bPWsRJiXgHHC45sXQ75F7XUlu7upBbSob4jMS7NLiDxGe2mfsj5wSrCBGtZUHpT6s9FaQ615-3Scei-PiIbkucOOm9EUPhiARuKJEU5HT7U4TovF4NWpQ1qHt9MjE5lp3fK5Gt_nT6L3fY-AiN7NRjXd1K-yk3tercA-/s3264/2022-10-25%20004.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQUSdjHVagof4ShcY_sGT_bPWsRJiXgHHC45sXQ75F7XUlu7upBbSob4jMS7NLiDxGe2mfsj5wSrCBGtZUHpT6s9FaQ615-3Scei-PiIbkucOOm9EUPhiARuKJEU5HT7U4TovF4NWpQ1qHt9MjE5lp3fK5Gt_nT6L3fY-AiN7NRjXd1K-yk3tercA-/s320/2022-10-25%20004.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">The pile gets bigger and longer.<br /></div></div><div><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have bean making some little knitted toys to go to Ukraine and other war places.

Storms are forecast but I think we will be missed as often is the case here. Started knitting a baby jumper with stripes of white, burgundy, and green I think it will look good when finished. We ended up not getting a storm, even though at times it went very black. </p><p><br /></p><p>3rd</p><p>In the greenhouse today, watering, side shooting, and taking leaves off. Everything looks good. The tomatoes are ripening better now and we've had quite a few already. The ones outside are too looking good. Andrew's tobacco plants have really grown well. Another humid day, we still need a big storm. Chinese for tea, a lot better than last week's Indian meal we had. Paul did leave some bad reviews on their website.</p><p><br /></p><p>4th</p><p>A dull grey start I was told last night that a lot of rain was on its way. Some more in the garden and a bit more knitting as well. At last, we had a big storm with thunder and lightning and lots of heavy rain. Andrew and I stood out in it for a while but then it came down a bit much. </p><p>I went in Andrew and stayed out a bit longer. The air was so sweet and I know after it will be a lot less humid.</p><p><br /></p><p>5th</p><p>Warm to start with and still a bit humid. Later we had another storm not as big as yesterday's one. After all the rain yesterday I did not need to water the garden. It seeps into the greenhouse as well so a bit of rainwater will do good. Yung Blud was in the BBC Radio 1 live lounge (A live session done in Radio 1 live lounge every week by top performers.) he sang three songs, all brilliant. I like him he is very funny and I like his songs he does swear a lot in some of his songs but I can overlook that.</p><p><br /></p><p>7th</p><p>Not feeling the best today hot and cold, and quite dizzy, I have back pain and a headache too.</p><p>I do not feel right at all today just far away. </p><p><br /></p><p>8th</p><p>Woke to bladder pain and blood while weeing. I have CYSTITIS, got in touch with the Doctor, and was prescribed ANTIBIOTICS MACROBID 100 MG two a day. Hopefully, this will help the pain soon. Not doing much today just having a rest a bit of knitting and some reading if my brain will take it in. It's Tommy-Lee and Jamie-Lee's Birthdays today. Tommy-Lee is sixteen and Jamie-Lee is ten. Paul and I went around for an hour to give them their presents. Tommy-Lee got money to buy clothes and Jamie-Lee got a cardigan I made for her, a puzzle board, and a puzzle to do on it. I did not feel well at all and soon was home again. </p><p>When we came home Summer did not come to the door, and I was a bit worried but everything was fine. Andrew had given Summer her tea it had only just gone six but she kept bothering him in the shed where he smokes. So he gave her it, a big thing for him as he is vegetarian and the smell of meat makes him feel sick. Thank you Andrew from both of us. Very tired later and have a lot of bladder pain hopefully it will soon settle down. Sat the rest of the night Paul did tea just a few chips for me. I took IBRUS for the pain later.</p><p>9th</p><p>Resting today as very dizzy at times. Pain about the same, still hurting when I wee, blood still as well. Lindsay and Jamie-Lee came round and stayed for tea again Paul did it for all of us. Bad head today but the air is stormy again. Took more IBRUS to settle it down a bit.</p><p><br /></p><p>10th</p><p>Not quite as bad today, not as much pain or blood, still feel a bit rough. Taking it easy but still did the ironing. Doing some knitting a bubble stitch pattern with multi-coloured wool. Going quite well, it looks good but is easy to do. I did a bit of sewing, Paul's trousers needed taking up a hem. Chinese for tea, I ate quite a lot as the last few days I have eaten very little.</p><p><br /></p><p>11th</p><p>I feel quite a bit better today. Pain and blood is less, hardly any now. Was not happy with the front of the cardigan I was making, going to make a jumper instead. An easy day just a bit in the garden, watered the greenhouse too. General bits, nothing too much, as still not my best - saying that I do not think since getting RSD I have felt truly well.</p><p><br /></p><p>12th</p><p>Summer is at the vet today for her booster injection and check-up. I asked him to look at a small wart on her eyelid. Nothing to worry about he said, same with a small lump on her right back leg. He said she was in good condition all around. She has lost a bit of weight, which I knew she had. He said it had bean very hot a few weeks ago so that could be the cause. I am to keep a check on her to check her weight and get in touch if it goes down a lot, but he thinks she will be fine. She eats well and gets out every day rain or shine. I feel very tired as well and still dizzy at times.</p><p><br /></p><p>14th</p><p>Colder on the common, north wind today and quite strong. Finished off the baby jumper, not the best work I have done. Not sure why it was so difficult as I have made loads of little jumpers. I thought to myself this would not happen to Sheila. The lady I made Mini Sheila for. One of the past videos I was watching showed her getting mad with herself as things were not going right, at one point she said it almost went in the bin. She had to pull down a lot of work as she had made mistakes, she did not see. With knitting, if things are going well and the rows just keep adding up, you are not looking at your work as much, and things can go wrong. Also, a pattern she was using did not seem to be right when knitted up, so she just did it her way. This made me feel a bit better as I was not the only one making mistakes after bean knitting for so long. Started at six and I am now sixty-seven, so sixty-one years. <b>Obviously with breaks.</b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgD0KJFjRqxNoX4iHqEliH1-1NkgI0jRBJ1YpuBPHZy9CH-Tw9l_38d097F4NAup2GLGIFPMI8hTmqDHKQ_VNRLKbPvXKusLCVPpt3B3MoX7SJKbhWoebt2r4Iwobh8HMvuWhKhr7U-pyIgbkLdL_Te2LPnPtLEj1LUFWPGH6GrGIER5pKkcWGXGGJ/s3264/2022-09-25%20007.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgD0KJFjRqxNoX4iHqEliH1-1NkgI0jRBJ1YpuBPHZy9CH-Tw9l_38d097F4NAup2GLGIFPMI8hTmqDHKQ_VNRLKbPvXKusLCVPpt3B3MoX7SJKbhWoebt2r4Iwobh8HMvuWhKhr7U-pyIgbkLdL_Te2LPnPtLEj1LUFWPGH6GrGIER5pKkcWGXGGJ/s320/2022-09-25%20007.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">One of the baby jumpers</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgjNRquv20VvoSVfp3PIk6YCV2SZr46GkBKUHiLlXCenQZEgzfeTaUQgBYaoU28Sj-jtYg-vBIzNaLtljQIiFi_WTosyMPn1E4AtTSdzuoaDvD5gWvjuY1zsF3ns8ZNsLmaJCZEPH0LgvEDMM2YKsHwpJjvFiPTmGODNpUQOtsXPMPSTxsoYhVPoVJ/s3264/2022-09-25%20008.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgjNRquv20VvoSVfp3PIk6YCV2SZr46GkBKUHiLlXCenQZEgzfeTaUQgBYaoU28Sj-jtYg-vBIzNaLtljQIiFi_WTosyMPn1E4AtTSdzuoaDvD5gWvjuY1zsF3ns8ZNsLmaJCZEPH0LgvEDMM2YKsHwpJjvFiPTmGODNpUQOtsXPMPSTxsoYhVPoVJ/s320/2022-09-25%20008.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">A little hat.</div><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMLQheMXilgm5puSJ6NLUne6VskEZPnX_WLmhhEmvrSdgavk2OLNTcYJ_BC-LElYetRmZzca_HCuua-UdFxJNldUeg_kkZZCiKMpDxIwdcAzAE6eHuCPiC3hLmkGszBBxeey6V7beKITpA0jS_fTw76cT_BVk1yhpnAe7E9te2QipI6cOTBj5Hhx8-/s3264/2022-09-29%20002.JPG" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMLQheMXilgm5puSJ6NLUne6VskEZPnX_WLmhhEmvrSdgavk2OLNTcYJ_BC-LElYetRmZzca_HCuua-UdFxJNldUeg_kkZZCiKMpDxIwdcAzAE6eHuCPiC3hLmkGszBBxeey6V7beKITpA0jS_fTw76cT_BVk1yhpnAe7E9te2QipI6cOTBj5Hhx8-/s320/2022-09-29%20002.JPG" width="320" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;">Plus a little baby cardigan.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZBAlpElF4DES5JTKaUJsId4ftrewQ1MMyIBdfX7PNV3i7NzJc2-DGvLE3q-W04qbWDQdq3gfrWSbY_L4YWMjGMbsZrkLqNgMq_i1Y_G5QaMJLWI0NjAti0NyD8Yys2MRbA7R348bhm4Hroz-c0MgIinMQay63kH9WLovWIzFl3SUxJcKl4_o5Yd18/s3264/2022-09-18%20003.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZBAlpElF4DES5JTKaUJsId4ftrewQ1MMyIBdfX7PNV3i7NzJc2-DGvLE3q-W04qbWDQdq3gfrWSbY_L4YWMjGMbsZrkLqNgMq_i1Y_G5QaMJLWI0NjAti0NyD8Yys2MRbA7R348bhm4Hroz-c0MgIinMQay63kH9WLovWIzFl3SUxJcKl4_o5Yd18/s320/2022-09-18%20003.JPG" width="320" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;">The jumper I had trouble with.</p><p style="text-align: right;"><br /></p><p>15th</p><p>Wayne and Kayleigh are back from Florida today, after a two-week break.

These can go in boxes for the children that lost so much in the Ukraine war. Hopefully, I can make a few as so quick todo, an afternoon or evening that's all. Also, it can use up the little bits of wool I have. Watering the greenhouse and garden and taking most of the leaves off the toms inside and out. I can hardly believe how well the toms have done outside as there is more fruit on the plants than in the greenhouse ones. Andrew's tobacco plants are doing very well. </p><p><br /></p><p>17th</p><p>Wedding day for Lliam and Fiona. Lliam is my youngest nephew. They met when they were eighteen but things did not go well, years later another date and here they are married. Lliam is thirty-five now. The day went very well. Cold in the church and I was shaking but not the only one. I took a long time to warm up as well. Canapes were served, fish and chip; yes just one. Also small sausages and a few other bits. All very nice. We had Tapas as the main meal it was very good, something I have never had before. Even my Brother went and looked very smart. Good to see him, he was on his own which was nice as his partner tends to take over. </p><p><br /></p><p>18th</p><p>Tired and achy today all the sitting and getting cold I think. Bit more knitting and a rest day for me. We had Chinese for tea as we did not have it last night. I had chips, pancake roll, and curry sauce, they are really lovely from our local place. It's just across the road so very good as everything is still red hot, not like some takeaway delivery that are not very hot at all. </p><p><br /></p><p>20th</p><p>Not as cold today. Got a message from Bev my sister-in-law (Lliam's Mum) saying that her Brother has a new variant of covid. We thought she meant one of the Brothers that were at the wedding but it turned out he was not there. Hope you get better soon mate. I Met Joy in town, a rarity I go into town now. She is well and it was good to see her. Got Paul a few things for his Birthday next Monday. When I got home a bit in the garden and did some knitting later.</p><p><br /></p><p>21st</p><p>Quite warm today. I saw Debbie on the common, straight away I could tell something was very wrong; her poor little baby dog had died, Sooty. He could not breathe and passed away. This was her Mums dog and she said she felt she had a link with her through him. Sooty was not ill or anything and always bean a noisy breather.</p><p>Her other dog Monty had bean ill with a persistent ear infection so I thought it was him that had passed away. I really felt for her and gave her a hug but what can you say to her. It just hurts so much. The dogs are looking for him, as he went to the vet but did not come back alive. He is buried in the garden. </p><p><br /></p><p>22nd</p><p>Saw Debbie and walked around with her on the common. She is about what you expect her to be very sad and lost. The other dogs are pinning for Sooty too. Started knitting a cardigan to do as a change from the little dolls. Not going bad a lacy pattern like I have made many times before.</p><p><br /></p><p>23rd</p><p style="text-align: center;">Bit in the garden.

Put the last one in the fridge. They did not do as well this year. I washed Summer's basket and she was not happy, looking at me as only Summer can. When it was fully dried she went to sleep in it, after giving me a few big huffs. Something she does when things do not please her.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p>26th</p><p>Paul's Birthday Happy birthday Paul. We are going out for tea later, a Chinese Buffet, all you can eat. Paul's favourite type of meal. There were six of us in the end with Jay-Jay and his girlfriend not going and Andrew as well. Andrew was not too good. David and Bev (Brother and Sister in law) came round to bring Paul presents. They said after we left the wedding and the night-do went ahead, a lot of the young ones got very drunk and they were a bit of a problem. Garry sorted them out he is Lliam's brother so no more trouble later. The meal out was very good everything tasty and hot. Tommy had a good fill-up, he eats loads. When he was a baby, he was always saying he was hungry. A good night was had by all. I was pleased that it was quiet and not many people there was not too much chatter. </p><p><br /></p><p>27th</p><p>Did all the ironing, of bedding and shirts. we have cotton sheets so they need ironing, even if they did not I probably would still iron them. I do not like creases in sheets. This took a long time and my arm and shoulder really hurt. </p><p><br /></p><p>29th</p><p>Cleaning up downstairs today. Started knitting some little toys, the rolly Polly family. I asked the demolition men who are taking down the garage buildings if there would be any wood from the trees they were cutting down. He said he would see what he could do. Later there was a pile of wood for Andrews's pit fires. It needs drying out still so not able to use it yet as Andrew found out it just smoked and did not burn. They also cut down the big tree that was in Ness's garden, Ness and Squidgy were given an extra bit of land where a wall was a few years ago, and the tree was in that bit.

This is the first time Kayleigh has bean on it, Wayne could not believe how yellow and dried up it all was. They come from Halifax so they get a bit more rain than we do. After a bit of early dinner, they left for Halifax at twelve-thirty. Hopefully, it will not be as long before I see them both again. It's bean lovely having them both here. Paul phoned up around five and said they had just got there as traffic was so bad. Usually, it's around a two-hour journey on a good run. Paul thinks it will be about the same coming back. I have a lot of mosquito bites that are very sore, not sure why but when I get bitten, they are so painful and swollen and some get infected. Usually, they last around two weeks, then they dry up and stop hurting. The thing is not to scratch them but it's hard as they itch so much. I usually put plasters on the big ones so I can not touch them. </p><p><br /></p><p>4th</p><p>I am making a doll for a lady on youtube that I follow- more about it when done with pictures. This will not be easy I know, but hopefully, I can do it. Also started knitting a pair of gloves for a present. </p><p><br /></p><p>5th</p><p>Cleaning up downstairs, took most of the day. Very hot work and made me dizzy at times. Andrew did my Blog check, and I published it, a bit late but never mind. Quite tired as I was awake at least every hour, a shorter night than usual.</p><p><br /></p><p>6th</p><p>In the garden a lot of the time watering, weeding, and general tidy up. Bit more knitting of gloves and doll both going well. Chinese for tea just chips, curry, and rice for me. Lots of pain in my legs later, nerve pain, and spasms. Took extra tablets but they did little to help. My bites are also playing up, I have kept my jeans on, usually, I would be in shorts now. Even if you stay in at night the little buggers still seem to get you and you wake up with more bites. </p><p><br /></p><p>7th</p><p>Another sunny day with a bit more cloud than yesterday. More in the garden, Andrew and I have taken over a bit of Karol's garden at the bottom. The bit I cleared in the June 25th post. Andrew put in tomatoes and tobacco plants. which are doing very well. I spoke to the new neighbours over Karol's fence, he was tidying up the garden, I met his partner and his son end of July briefly. I will miss Ness and Squidgy a lot especially Emmie. I know it will not be long before I see her again. Squidgy brought me a present back from Wales, a picture of Summer, a hologram, well not her, but so like her. The face moves as you go past it and it's like she is following you. Very nice thank you all very much.</p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaXSqpOCLI8F2B3z3el5LOWHH3on_aTl29t8JXkur_4PRybD090j7JwuC_MJ__eUTCD7VFl_PkWmWa5TdxKdv_E23-HbqKVXde_aqepSmHDYoFOVdNVMIrtfBFjgsMSLGJ0IWmP8TQ2RsbI4gXnstF_Po4mImHxyB4RYIY05dqfIK5XIoyGkCGx7PL/s3264/2022-08-13%20004.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaXSqpOCLI8F2B3z3el5LOWHH3on_aTl29t8JXkur_4PRybD090j7JwuC_MJ__eUTCD7VFl_PkWmWa5TdxKdv_E23-HbqKVXde_aqepSmHDYoFOVdNVMIrtfBFjgsMSLGJ0IWmP8TQ2RsbI4gXnstF_Po4mImHxyB4RYIY05dqfIK5XIoyGkCGx7PL/s320/2022-08-13%20004.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Just looks like Summer.</span></div><p><br /></p><p></p><p><br /></p><p>8th</p><p>Going on my bike today to some of the shops close by to see if I can get some buttons for the many cardigans I have made. To buy them individually will cost a lot. So I was hoping to get a bulk buy, but they no longer sell buttons. In between shops I had a bit of an accident. While getting off a slope I overbalanced and fell to the floor with my bike on top of me. (Mine is a heavy bike as it is an electric one.) Cutting my elbow and upper arm. Causing bruising to come out straight away. I was helped up by people close by and asked if I had really hurt myself- I was ok, What I did not realize till later was I had torn my shirt at the back. </p><p>I did not know at the time I had also cut my back. A bruise came up after a few days. I was mucky, bruised and my arm was bleeding as well. I must have looked a right sight walking round the shops. Also, a bruise on my right wrist, with all the other bruises and cuts on my left side. </p><p>Later bruises came up on my right leg where the bike had fallen on me. I was shaken up but otherwise ok. I was more bothered about where I was going to park my bike, as no places to fasten it to. Eventually, I got a clear fence to lock it to. I got my Brother a cotton jumper for his birthday. Some gel pens for me, they are easier for me to use than biros, so it was not a wasted trip.</p><p><br /></p><p>9th</p><p>Cleaning up again with having the back door open all the time leaves and bits blow in. Went to take my Brothers Birthday present for his Birthday tomorrow. Nice to see him and Bev his wife. Garry their son was also there. A good chat and a cup of tea. Garry has a very little chihuahua dog which sat on my knee for a while. What would Summer think? </p><p>10th</p><p>Hair cut by Debbie as usual looks good. I think now she has got to know my hair like Helen (past hairdresser) used to and knows what I want even more than I do. </p><p><br /></p><p>11th</p><p>B12 injection today, sore as usual but did not last too long this time. Watering the greenhouse and tubs. Did some before I went and the rest when I came back. Hot again but the weather man are saying it's going to change Sunday or Munday and storms and rain to come and a lot cooler. </p><p><br /></p><p>12th</p><p>30c at times later, very warm on the common so did not have a long walk today as we went a bit later. I took Summer some water and a biscuit. We sat in the shade to give her a rest and let her cool down. I gave her the little treat and she had her drink, she enjoyed it very much. This is not going to happen every day as she gets a biscuit when we get back. Later I gave her a bath. She was so mucky the water was brown. I lifted her front paw up and she overbalanced and went under the water. She huffed and puffed a bit but she was ok. All clean and towel dried. So white and fluffy now. She ran around outside for a while and then, had a sleep. I let her dry naturally and soon she was completely dry. Later I brushed her and loads of undercoat came off all soft and fluffy like cotton wool. Hope she stays clean for at least a few days. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkak0xV39KMvgrejhNOecXSr20aGbSQFN3b8XKRJ39uxQSDNIlbHpPlpUVIpdp2qJTq9z7crMvkGrvk25oDXwd9ci-LHju1rPHLSkDFrgNiC67O-zcQKyoJq9-ugJCkbGgtwsVzukWxWSPE4YxBEH9muu7aNQDATCV32zB17gnofBPLsjHjlbrKjk9/s3264/2022-08-13%20002.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkak0xV39KMvgrejhNOecXSr20aGbSQFN3b8XKRJ39uxQSDNIlbHpPlpUVIpdp2qJTq9z7crMvkGrvk25oDXwd9ci-LHju1rPHLSkDFrgNiC67O-zcQKyoJq9-ugJCkbGgtwsVzukWxWSPE4YxBEH9muu7aNQDATCV32zB17gnofBPLsjHjlbrKjk9/s320/2022-08-13%20002.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjUCtZicqeiyYL7-sUfZwv-IGYEKLnZDFMAvRkfhnhBfXnr8arG82r80qWVnAL2OhVeAOah4ww8xOJPJUCD5QeKOOm0HO3T1yEnX-SrlIAZyR43fNNlHrSFD8E5Y9lRy7cP2s6yYQAcgmeyF6XBvVAWfBedL52HU28EXhWrMjSwkznaGartVdjH534/s3264/2022-08-13%20003.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjUCtZicqeiyYL7-sUfZwv-IGYEKLnZDFMAvRkfhnhBfXnr8arG82r80qWVnAL2OhVeAOah4ww8xOJPJUCD5QeKOOm0HO3T1yEnX-SrlIAZyR43fNNlHrSFD8E5Y9lRy7cP2s6yYQAcgmeyF6XBvVAWfBedL52HU28EXhWrMjSwkznaGartVdjH534/s320/2022-08-13%20003.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNeg0usFUfOdVjM_6DNkHNYIap7stZ1PL8uE0kbDWePVhNk80MHnrGNfbQ60UIAGQAg7-yL9flXY0dkeAGevU-xYlsFZR2qyT3_5lq6sZtE6-dae1RJnrBjxmQ2cgmg7Tzw_uLFWBKUUhxHnAM10yPjUStfcHPrTxbMA1ij6eBvW2S2ONKhcwE5BVN/s3264/2022-08-13%20011.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNeg0usFUfOdVjM_6DNkHNYIap7stZ1PL8uE0kbDWePVhNk80MHnrGNfbQ60UIAGQAg7-yL9flXY0dkeAGevU-xYlsFZR2qyT3_5lq6sZtE6-dae1RJnrBjxmQ2cgmg7Tzw_uLFWBKUUhxHnAM10yPjUStfcHPrTxbMA1ij6eBvW2S2ONKhcwE5BVN/s320/2022-08-13%20011.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgohCVFtmbT_ZyQK68hAcZZPRz0BtyPfKnjgCYXbc1t6Yliqc3hHACKE3Hk16F4ePX9PbgSS5vyvUrq-o2_EymV55o8KddGHHLGa3ZDvIiFRqU4bADzCNaG-WU9wN-y2hfXjRUE0O6Ae9DxrIvdAAYbL7k-gFWDwBVUxAjcaEmkdCUVyrw0yIAdlmTV/s3264/2022-08-13%20012.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgohCVFtmbT_ZyQK68hAcZZPRz0BtyPfKnjgCYXbc1t6Yliqc3hHACKE3Hk16F4ePX9PbgSS5vyvUrq-o2_EymV55o8KddGHHLGa3ZDvIiFRqU4bADzCNaG-WU9wN-y2hfXjRUE0O6Ae9DxrIvdAAYbL7k-gFWDwBVUxAjcaEmkdCUVyrw0yIAdlmTV/s320/2022-08-13%20012.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">All fluffy and clean again.</div><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p>Later more watering in the greenhouse and garden, drying up very fast now. </p><p><br /></p><p>13th</p><p>Warm to start with but a coolish breeze.

I am making another table for a youtube lady who is called Sheila, as not very happy with the last one I made. We had Taco Bell for tea but for me, it laid very heavy and made me feel very uncomfortable. Andrew had some with us as it's his favourite takeaway. He is vegetarian but somehow got a meat one.

My head feels mashed up and I am finding it hard to think today not making sense of what people say. I think it's the heat and tiredness.</p><p> </p><p>15th</p><p>Well Sheila's doll is finished and I am happy with it so later she will be on her way to Sheila.</p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgyVrzE-MsMxsMoDRzP68PN5_X7aGwnBEbZA3lFgKq4AknAwBTQL12OASFSQSoPX63JPcGaclF7BkgVynerxUx_uq975MKPHppMxvpKO_qkynq3NjZJGdZnoFIsCUNoB0_zIxwwqlb-qJpNS-7J3nteyKvlSc0rWbrHB2s1RlKzT_Lj9F844Xmaq6Q/s3264/2022-08-15%20007.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgyVrzE-MsMxsMoDRzP68PN5_X7aGwnBEbZA3lFgKq4AknAwBTQL12OASFSQSoPX63JPcGaclF7BkgVynerxUx_uq975MKPHppMxvpKO_qkynq3NjZJGdZnoFIsCUNoB0_zIxwwqlb-qJpNS-7J3nteyKvlSc0rWbrHB2s1RlKzT_Lj9F844Xmaq6Q/s320/2022-08-15%20007.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">She might be a bit warm but she can take off the jumper.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij9Xs38Vo4_7NZ9nCoyhN-DNLmhBQ2bbVozLYvmCZtQ1Yy99KU3eDu6JyUQ6e5AsghL8E5z6yLV5IOEHGYQGuFj85_3vmhR9hsD58g9waztFrHgdRdXB7Zvs-mKBZjsafA1ATe8DDRcfQzMiF71-qfaLJCdoC4sRY2urxy92mB-vBoR9lPSRYtnlr3/s3264/2022-08-15%20005.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij9Xs38Vo4_7NZ9nCoyhN-DNLmhBQ2bbVozLYvmCZtQ1Yy99KU3eDu6JyUQ6e5AsghL8E5z6yLV5IOEHGYQGuFj85_3vmhR9hsD58g9waztFrHgdRdXB7Zvs-mKBZjsafA1ATe8DDRcfQzMiF71-qfaLJCdoC4sRY2urxy92mB-vBoR9lPSRYtnlr3/s320/2022-08-15%20005.JPG" width="240" /></a></div> <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI2NgYR4kl6iHJbpfi7cmdt1dif7Dtb-7_fLU-4uOBYbVvrQSQ1qJt-koUsUudgq8QiwWRHeMP3Op5l38_5uq3N_W5XCyf3P_rOdMY2TtZJCRSQjOkyZcqP_s8rQDq6WQdvi54vTlPSEec3T0b_iUMQJ6Y89KlD7ppl4rW7dd3hf0hL-7HixId_sDZ/s3264/2022-08-15%20003.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI2NgYR4kl6iHJbpfi7cmdt1dif7Dtb-7_fLU-4uOBYbVvrQSQ1qJt-koUsUudgq8QiwWRHeMP3Op5l38_5uq3N_W5XCyf3P_rOdMY2TtZJCRSQjOkyZcqP_s8rQDq6WQdvi54vTlPSEec3T0b_iUMQJ6Y89KlD7ppl4rW7dd3hf0hL-7HixId_sDZ/s320/2022-08-15%20003.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGWGQQluXdYckHNWdSAUAMJfido-mI4O-uJ1dRjApYiCezFeASfpuM5FQDx86RjKZmXR-pXjv0GdOnlTwchK8yT_ieYvmAmhPcB2r-PYKzRdUtW5vMVQYNHLy_WcMiCkkCkI7VJm3dbTti8CJ7NM_VdbJBSxjbcRhwuklQKzcm_wK95gAIn-UzcYV_/s3264/2022-08-15%20001.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGWGQQluXdYckHNWdSAUAMJfido-mI4O-uJ1dRjApYiCezFeASfpuM5FQDx86RjKZmXR-pXjv0GdOnlTwchK8yT_ieYvmAmhPcB2r-PYKzRdUtW5vMVQYNHLy_WcMiCkkCkI7VJm3dbTti8CJ7NM_VdbJBSxjbcRhwuklQKzcm_wK95gAIn-UzcYV_/s320/2022-08-15%20001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> Sheila doing what she loves best -knitting.<br /><p></p><p> </p><p> <br /></p><p>The weather is changing as storms are coming to most places in the UK. Hope we get some really big ones to clear the air.</p><p>Squidgy and Emmie came round, really good to see Emmie again. She was pleased to see me and said she had missed me. I said I had missed her as well. She had a red face as she had bean on the trampolines at a play centre. We had a call later from Malc Paul's Brother saying Pam his wife was in hospital dehydrated and not well at all. Hope you soon improve Pam all the best. </p><p>No storm for us but some places got drenched with lots of rain. Chris Stark from Radio 1- said, it's very wet in London and he got soaked coming to work on his bike. Got the ironing done as not as hot today but still very humid. Around 5pm it started raining very heavily the little plants in the garden were lapping it up. You could almost hear their joy. I have bean watering most days but rain is still best. Andrew stood out in it for a while, I did too but got cold so came in. The air smelt so sweet. Mini Shiela has now bean posted so she will soon see it. I am excited to see her reaction.<br /></p><p><br /></p><p>17th</p><p>A lot cooler today 15C I woke up to cold feet and spasms in my legs and feet. Doing the bedrooms today as I thought it would be cooler it was not and I was sweating a lot. Got them done so I was pleased. Malc phoned up and said Pam will be in a few more days as they are more doing tests, and he will keep us informed. </p><p><br /></p><p>18th</p><p>Up early today as the headache I went to bed with is still there. On the common be for 9am. Summer played with her ball something she has not done for a long time. She really enjoyed herself when we got back she was soon asleep. Got quite warm later 24C, but still heavy air. Having a rest today as bean busy the last few days. Why not, everyone else does. </p><p><br /></p><p>19th</p><p>Met Rory and Mary on the common we walked around the common together. After they both came back here for a cup of tea and water and biscuits for the dogs. This was the first time they had bean here. Rory was well settled and Summer and he was having a cuddle under the table. Rory looked around the garden and went on the flower bed bit. Summer told him off and again when he went upstairs. Summer does not go upstairs at all unless she is carried. When I am ill. Paul will bring her up. </p><p>Message from Malc, Pam probably has Parkinson's. My Mum had it as well, it's where you shake sometimes. Severe at times others times not as bad, different for everyone though. Shiela got her little Shiela today and put up a video she was very excited and said it was the best happy mail she ever had.</p><p style="text-align: center;">

<p><br /></p><p>20th</p><p>Quite windy today and pleasant, not too hot. Taking up Paul's trousers, two pairs, and then Andy's trousers that need to become shorts. Got them all done and was pleased with the results. Saw Debbie and Bella her dog, on the common. Gave Bella the kisses she likes. Debbie said Monty was not well with sickness and the runs and had bean to the vets again. Monty has bean going with an ear infection and was put on steroids. Debbie thinks that is what made him ill. We also saw Mary and Rory and walked back with them. Rory wanted to come back with me but Mary said no, not today, and gave him a treat to take his mind off coming here.</p><p>21st</p><p>Saw Debbie and Monty with Sooty her other dog (she has four dogs) Sooty. Monty has improved now and is able to come out. Debbie said he was so weak before and could hardly move at all. He looked a lot better too and barked at me like he usually does. Nice walk on the common with Pat and Milo her dog. We went on to the top bit where I do not usually go as it can be too much for me. With someone else, you do not notice it so much. Summer will just trot along me where ever I go, slow and steady.</p><p><br /></p><p>22nd</p><p>Dull to start with but so humid it got to over 90% later again I felt like I was being crushed and such a bad head too. Cleaning up today downstairs it's very hot and heavy. Malc came round and said Pam is doing a lot better, a few more tests then soon home. Humidity is still very high when I went to bed in the early hours of the 23rd. </p><p><br /></p><p>23rd</p><p>Washing out, windy and sunny dried very well today. Put the button on the cardigans I ordered on the internet as They arrived yesterday. They look good I think. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_5e-j2GpRK6zo_MEeR1QrW89EB4fUA6ajt0BAnKS5gl-fcTMvS-V1XwQoDfiuF8EItR--hw9wrjE6pgo8Wj-fQ47HSsnScRr3DgTLtozwl7oKGGW5W1mCDTGer6QuFa8o215Tm4J0prayS2aQxnFylvPC-C6f0p3l8W3FEyqMTzFuRvG-5oKHYfi6/s3264/2022-08-24%20007.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

Well done Summer.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p>26th</p><p>Would have bean my Mums Birthday today, or it still is as Andrew said, but she is no longer with us. She was a very caring person who would help anyone. She worked so hard, then at last retired but there was no time left for her to enjoy it and she suddenly passed away.</p><p><br /></p><p>27th</p><p>Cleaning up today I have bad back ache and spasms shooting up and down. We had Indian for tea and it was awful no taste at all, you would not have known it was a curry. Andrew and Paul said theres was bad as well. Not be going back there again. I would sooner have a Chinese any time.</p><p><br /></p><p>28th</p><p>Summer saw a few of her friends that she had not seen for a while. A rest day today as I have bean busy a lot over the last few days. Mary said since Rory and her came here a few days ago, he always looks this way as if he wants to come again. She said they will visit again soon.</p><p><br /></p><p>29th</p><p>A bit cooler today. Saw quite a few of Summers and my friends today, some days we see no one. We are having a BBQ later, Lindsay and Jamie-Lee are coming too. Jay-Jay turned up to show us his new motorbike and stayed as well. There was going to be a rocket launch today, Artemis a moon survey mission but was cancelled, because of the weather and possible storms later. The launch was from Florida which is known for storms and changeable weather. Hopefully, it will be soon and the launch will go ahead next time. </p><p><br /></p><p>Well, that's August's, Blog no too much to report, and very late too. I thought I had published it and did not check. Well never mind it here now, hope you all enjoyed it. </p><p>All the best love Gill.</p><p><br /></p></div>Gill Pyrahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16554599037210034283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1255014379495295812.post-2678491527404142222022-07-31T15:34:00.004+01:002022-08-20T10:37:04.038+01:00July.<p> July 2nd</p><p>Finished off putting the last bits right in the bedroom. Doing a bit more of the grandmother doll going well. My friend Joy came to see me and liked the doll very much. She asked if I would make her one as a present. I decided to let her have this one for her Birthday or Christmas, as both are in December. The doll clothes in the pattern were shown stitched onto the doll but I have made them all so they can be taken off. When completely done I will put a picture up. </p><p><br /></p><p>3rd</p><p>Today on our walk Summer spotted the gate between the park and the Supported Learning Centre was open. So in she goes, they had on a craft day with stalls. I thought Summer would just go in the foyer, but no in she went into the school. She looked at all the stalls and even appeared to be reading the sign that said more stall this way as she did just that. She wandered into the cafe part, and a man said they were not open yet. Summer did one of her huffs and walked away. The man said I think she understood. I said she does understand a lot more than normal dogs. People thought it was lovely that she came to visit them. One lady asked if she bought anything. I said no she had no money. The lady then said, she has nowhere to keep any. She was getting a lot of attention for sure and loving every minute. I managed to get her away and we carried on to the common where we had a nice walk. Next time I will find out more about these craft stalls and maybe have one myself next time. Summer will have some money as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>5th</p><p>We saw a hare on the common today the first one I have seen there. In town later sorting out things for Lindsay's Birthday. Got some more grey wool for grans hair as I ran out doing the hair but it's the wrong shade of grey. Paul will try tomorrow when he goes in for his dinner. If not, a little rabbit I made named Sebastion will have to sacrifice his trousers. No wool so sorry your trousers will have to go I will replace them of course. </p><p><br /></p><p>Letter from cardiology after my CORONARY ANGIOGRAM, a few weeks ago, things are not too bad. One of the valves is not right, a BICUSPID AORTIC VALVE WITH STENOSIS. Nothing too much to worry about, I just need regular checks. I am going to go running again after the hot weather has cooled a bit.

This was so painful on an already tight neck. The pain went down my arm. Not nice but Something I have grown to accept with RSD. I took IBBRUES and BACLOFEN A MUSCLE relaxant plus TIGER BALM and some OROMORTH. Very hard to move like getting in and out of the chair. Terrible later with nerve pain and touch pain (pain that radiates up my arm with the slightest touch of my fingers.) I could hardly stand up straight. Paul helped me but I did not want him to touch me as too much pain. The tablets made me feel very far away. Ness two doors asked me once if I ever bean to Space as I had on a Space X t-shirt, I said many times as I have bean spaced out with my tablets. Bed, hopefully, a better day tomorrow. </p><p><br /></p><p>12th</p><p><br /></p><p>Hotter today got to over 32C. My neck is not as bad today so long as I take it easy no fast moves. </p><p>Lindsay's Birthday- they are coming round for tea, Chinese. Jay-Jay came too but not Tommy-Lee, Jack a friend came as well. Tea did not happen as tempers got frayed and Lindsay went home. Nothing to do with me though.</p><p><br /></p><p>13th</p><p>Paul and I have bean invited to a wedding in October and also we are going to another one in September. </p><p>Today is eighteen years since all this RSD nightmare started. All these years of hell; lost friends that I used to run with. Things that are impossible to do now. How can an innocent fall turn into all this? Why because RSD can. I know I am stronger than a lot of people but, even the strength can break down at times. There is no one to pick you up either, as no specialist near here. I have never as yet met anyone with RSD. A lonely miss understood life that will just get worse with age and go on and on. </p><p><br /></p><p>15th</p><p>Terrible pain in my neck, shoulder, and back. The nerve pain is shooting down my arm making my fingers numb and tingle with pain, also affecting my leg. the pain is going into my neck and head. I feel quite ill at the moment. My chair is a rise-up one, that helps you get out it easier, so I have bean using that just to move out the chair. As soon as I move the pain gets so much worse and I am doubled up trying to get the spasms under control. I am taking a lot of extra tablets which have made my stomach bad so I am being sick now, all I need with these terrible spasms. spasms. Well, things can only get better.</p><p><br /></p><p>17th</p><p>The first day in a while I've woken up without chronic pain. I think the pain is beginning to go a bit. I am trying to move a bit more and doing a few exercises to gently move my neck and shoulders. Not easy and the spasms are still coming not as bad but still very painful.</p><p><br /></p><p>18th</p><p>The start of two predicted very hot days could rise up to 40C, this does not seem possible but at four pm it was 36C. This felt hot enough Summer was Ok as she slept a lot. We have fans in both the dining room and front room so this will help hopefully. Night time temperature was 22-23C so a bit warm for trying to sleep not as though I get much anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>19th</p><p>Records were broken today in Lincoln with a recording of 40.1C the highest recorded in the UK. I am struggling to cope, I know a lot of you are, but with RSD it's a nightmare that goes on and on. My nervous system is like a child's and isn't able to cool off or heat up the same way it used to. This is something you can not stop just because you do not like it or take more pills to cope there is nothing you can really do. Just trying to keep as cool as I can, but just sat here, I am wet with sweat, then shaking because I have overheated too much. The high humidity is not helping either. </p><p><br /></p><p>20th</p><p>Well, cooler today but the house is still very hot I think it will be a few days before it cools down again. The temperature is around 27C at two pm but at night time, this did not drop very close and heavy. Hopefully, a storm is on the way.</p><p><br /></p><p>21st</p><p> Finished off a hat and gloves set, seems weird knitting a hat and gloves in the last few day's heat. Also, Gran is finished now, I did the hair like a perm. This took around two to three hours but I think it was worth it as she looks good. This will be for a Christmas present.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDmzvmRvNYICEpjZc2IPn2oUoKSBT5H5HNs2EYiBBPJ8mpVhcdQ0AiGoz4LWI9I6FNuyj3lHqxuBdBymHLBrVCeu_7PpxwkcUcKTodcIFOwMamlq5L-SElv_cijFnWuztYp0ihdpwgk0uIcXJUvQSl1SAsB6H9hV6iNQa6GgieDGxGj3mjKAutbGI2/s3264/2022-08-03%20003.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDmzvmRvNYICEpjZc2IPn2oUoKSBT5H5HNs2EYiBBPJ8mpVhcdQ0AiGoz4LWI9I6FNuyj3lHqxuBdBymHLBrVCeu_7PpxwkcUcKTodcIFOwMamlq5L-SElv_cijFnWuztYp0ihdpwgk0uIcXJUvQSl1SAsB6H9hV6iNQa6GgieDGxGj3mjKAutbGI2/s320/2022-08-03%20003.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZoK0NtFpbd4PKdsHjtNplaLOm9S6ubWVOaJCm0P5xKjVE4V3ejohq9E96q5-1U7RaUAmI2JQ99bv3vTZ8GM5z0SuXdeBFzdhKtRfT9OgDeAlDNIbWDywpVo8AFMq47etCh5-rWUdUVSX_CDBUyHjVKzNqqerKcnclfzMvwvS6fqWdE1bObC3uvemU/s3264/2022-08-03%20004.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZoK0NtFpbd4PKdsHjtNplaLOm9S6ubWVOaJCm0P5xKjVE4V3ejohq9E96q5-1U7RaUAmI2JQ99bv3vTZ8GM5z0SuXdeBFzdhKtRfT9OgDeAlDNIbWDywpVo8AFMq47etCh5-rWUdUVSX_CDBUyHjVKzNqqerKcnclfzMvwvS6fqWdE1bObC3uvemU/s320/2022-08-03%20004.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIINrTIexMDv_35tn-hXL-iPCjOsoPwzlXGe-a-Qk_jOkh_CixaTKjCAjyGtQ5SLynHsCaX22YBKwhZjWKngGcYfkQZKYcCnCtT6ZAm2vy5lB_56LnAUbDqQMAZJ9baygPRgA7vdHrVu6MMGBKq7EHswLLVw53VcjK8N_Fa2tNs86mOtzvi1N_YtrT/s3264/2022-08-03%20005.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIINrTIexMDv_35tn-hXL-iPCjOsoPwzlXGe-a-Qk_jOkh_CixaTKjCAjyGtQ5SLynHsCaX22YBKwhZjWKngGcYfkQZKYcCnCtT6ZAm2vy5lB_56LnAUbDqQMAZJ9baygPRgA7vdHrVu6MMGBKq7EHswLLVw53VcjK8N_Fa2tNs86mOtzvi1N_YtrT/s320/2022-08-03%20005.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJE_Uyid6eipVnLN0l32-tL-_6DAokQ9c3u0tA1ipfO2yrSHO1bx7P9ImZfYYd4pmzhfBPd04ogAI1KgAHtj7QfPEL7UubLiBhed5IDtUw1yPwYeSU_Dla2LbNvC2eeV-SOIUdPK1gZFVmGFZatz4c9PYPg6MU1ZTe8JtpRbu7m8EInX84QrEN2sfo/s3264/2022-08-03%20008.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJE_Uyid6eipVnLN0l32-tL-_6DAokQ9c3u0tA1ipfO2yrSHO1bx7P9ImZfYYd4pmzhfBPd04ogAI1KgAHtj7QfPEL7UubLiBhed5IDtUw1yPwYeSU_Dla2LbNvC2eeV-SOIUdPK1gZFVmGFZatz4c9PYPg6MU1ZTe8JtpRbu7m8EInX84QrEN2sfo/s320/2022-08-03%20008.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <i> I </i>was pleased with this set as well. </div><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I am so pleased the temperature has dropped to 22C about half of what it has bean.

This took all afternoon but they are as good as new now, and will last a few more years. I forgot my friend Jenny's Birthday so I rang her to apologise. It was today so not too bad. Usually, I would have gone round yesterday or first off today. I thought it was in August. I have a present plus a special one for her. Seeing her on Thursday.</div><div><br /></div><div>27th</div><div>When Summer and I got back from the common Emmie was here. Her Dad and her are getting the last bits from their house as the keys are handed over to the new people. Emmie is very sad about moving but she will be alright she has a friend close by and goes on holiday to Wales Saturday. We played with the Barbies dolls. After she had gone I cleaned up downstairs. I am very tired as going to bed late around four am and getting up around eight am. </div><div><br /></div><div>28th</div><div>Up early again but I feel like I have had some sleep.

He is coming with Kayleigh on Sunday. This will be the first time I have seen Kayleigh since 2019, a few days before I broke my wrist. It will be so good to see them both. I did see Wayne last Christmas. I am really looking forward to this. Extra work for me but it will be worth it.</div><div><br /></div><div>30th</div><div>Happy Birthday, Wayne see you both soon. Knitting a little character doll for a YouTube lady for who I got patterns off as a thank you.

Wayne opened his presents and liked them all just a few bits like I said.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Well, friends, that's another Blog down.

So I am pleased as I have not waited long at all. I feel very tired today but hurt more when I sit down. Plated some old tatties in a large clay pot, they were in the veg rack in the shed with spurts on so I thought why not try them. The greenhouse and outside are doing very well. Andrew has sowed a lot of seeds as well, all doing very well. </p><p><br /></p><p>2nd</p><p>Andrew came on our walk today, Summer played with her ball, for the first time in ages, she was puffed out after all the running around. Bit of chest pain early in the morning before I went to bed, not sure if it was a muscle or something else like my heart. Went after I used my spray so it's ok. </p><p><br /></p><p>4th</p><p>Made three lots of cakes for the street party that a neighbor has organized, trouble is no one much knows about it. According to the forecast, it's going to rain most of the day. Knitting the cardigan for Jamie-Lee and I have to do the button band but I did it wrong. So had to pull most down and start again. Got it right now. So just the buttons to put on. My daughter Lindsay burnt her arm on a BBQ they had. It looked quite sore but I think it will be OK. Paul took her some dressing to help with the healing.</p><p><br /></p><p>5th</p><p>A neighbor who is having a street party or should I say was. Now it's in her house. The trouble is still no one knows about it. I went across and took the cakes and stayed a while. Had a sausage and a small bit of cake. As far as I know, I was the only one who went. Bad headache later a nerve type one running from my neck across to the left side of my head and under my eye.</p><p><br /></p><p>6th</p><p>Woke with the same headache still after not much sleep, Went to look at beds, as Paul and I need a new one. Our present one is around seventeen years old. Got one sorted and is coming end of the month. A lot of pain later mostly nerve pain in my knees elbows and shoulders. Took extra pain tablets did not help much though. </p><p><br /></p><p>7th</p><p>Warm today. Saw Mary on the common with Rory. Summer had not seen her and when I asked her where is Mary? She looked the way we normally see her. When she finally saw her she ran so fast to get her treat. Mary said she had never seen her run so fast. I said she can if it involves food. Rory took Summer for a drink in the long grass and they both came out very smelly. Washing today two lots. Doing a bit in the garden as well. Pulled up some of the Chinese lanterns as they had spread so much. Hopefully, they will replant elsewhere. Lindsay and Andy our neighbor are having some. </p><p><br /></p><p>8th</p><p>Camera test for my bladder today at urology. Everything went well a bit painful going in, More so later on. Night time it was very sore like I had cystitis again, and going for wees a lot more. Hopefully, overnight, it will calm down. The Doctor who did the test said everything was looking good and she could see no problems. I asked her if the trouble I had could have bean a kidney stone, and she said very likely. Later I had my feet up and my big toe on my left foot went into a spasm. I tried to release it but it would not go. Managed to get it right only for it to go again so painful.</p><p><br /></p><p>9th</p><p>Pain is quite a bit better today so that's good. Later Paul had passing out due because of his diabetes was not being controlled right. Andrew and I got him sorted and he was OK later.</p><p><br /></p><p>10th</p><p>Paul seems all right today. Bladder good apart from, not much warning for wanting a wee. Ironing for over two hours, very warm. Grandchildren are on holiday in Turkey with their Dad well two of them are. Jay-Jay did not go, just Tommy-Lee and Jamie-Lee, It will be a bit hotter there I think. </p><p><br /></p><p>12th</p><p>Kidney scan today, this did not take long. The lady scanner said she could not see anything wrong. Again I asked her about kidney stones and she said I could have had one and passed it hence the pain and bleeding. Because it was a week or so ago it would not show up now. More knitting, making a toy this time a Grandmother doll. Changed a few of the clothes colours to try to finish some of my bits and bobs of wool. I have finished knitting all my other things now. The tatties I planted are up and looking good we might get some little tatties from them, but will have to wait and see for a while.</p><p><br /></p><p>14th</p><p>A nice start to the day I saw four squirrels may be five as one I could have seen twice. Went to see if the baby geese were there. They were, but on the island and unless I had food they were not coming to see me. My friend Jenny is here today after her hair trim, as usual looked very nice. While Jenny was here Lindsay tuned up. Lindsay ended up staying for tea we had stew it was very good, there is some left for another day too. A lot of pain today mostly in my legs, got worse late at night had to take extra tablets. The front room tv has gone wrong so Paul is watching tv on a little one more like a monitor. He will have a new one soon. </p><p><br /></p><p>15th</p><p>Another lovely summer's day very warm too, going to the dentist for a check-up. All Ok the dentist was going to clean them, but the machine would not work. Bit of shopping on the way back walking back home it was hot and humid. I was just about all in when I got home. At least I got the things I wanted so that was good. Lindsay came round soon after I got back guess what she stayed for tea again, chips this time. Put the blind we use for the greenhouse on, as it was getting very hot in there 48C at one time. Headache most of the day it's so humid and very heavy. This affects most RSD suffers like this. Paul has now got a new TV so the little one he was using is back in the computer room. The TV looks very similar to the other one. I knew he would not be without one for long.</p><p><br /></p><p>17th</p><p>Summers Hair cut today a bit shorter as she is getting very hot and bothered. She was good as usual and did not go to sleep this time. Paul and Andrew have gone to the Birmingham Airport to pick up Roberto one of Andrew's friends from Amsterdam. We were not sure if he would get here or not as Airport is delaying or canceling a lot of flights due to a lack of staff. His flight was canceled, rebooked then delayed but he got here, and they are on their way back from Airport. With it being late gone seven. Paul decided to get fish and chips for Roberto and him, and curry and chips for Andrew and I. But when does Paul need an excuse to get a takeaway. They were very good. The temperature got to 32/33C in the garden very hot and so heavy. </p><p><br /></p><p>18th</p><p><br /></p><p>Bit of rain today and it feels a bit coolers on the common. Doing my Blog, but somehow it just became deleted because it did not save for some reason. Had to do most of it again. Chinese for tea, very good too and I enjoyed it so did Roberto. </p><p><br /></p><p>19th</p><p>Summer and I saw Mary on the common and I took a picture of Rory as I did not have one of him.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiexFMrriVFeD9rjyZrnwDpeGaXuawYaKXA0Sr74foISRBpTiDjiglf-de3_o7AQP7cn4wwgTaI-KTsNt5gJDA2PsZU1TkwgHHqwZkxpJxTFI9YdqvEIL109cieeXP7Uku-zIHGeL0WbxrDHpvP6-POupnYYjFp9SkzfPw0UfPW8sDRBslaalDDFYoy/s3264/2022-06-19%20006.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiexFMrriVFeD9rjyZrnwDpeGaXuawYaKXA0Sr74foISRBpTiDjiglf-de3_o7AQP7cn4wwgTaI-KTsNt5gJDA2PsZU1TkwgHHqwZkxpJxTFI9YdqvEIL109cieeXP7Uku-zIHGeL0WbxrDHpvP6-POupnYYjFp9SkzfPw0UfPW8sDRBslaalDDFYoy/s320/2022-06-19%20006.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Lovely Rory<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_uIHE7M5hVapJBJQnvBRpy_NlVhGOdr2zrwxZFdfaeXM__TTUmjK13uj1DTWOu1ddGaAnktBWZCeBJO1wtknTSIWpZmsROymeBDXDJloAAr1bNcRyHTrnsPjtEp5Mkt8GmETnst1aKDamsr7fnFoFCh5o8qbNA2k8V-myIPOkGU_0Ta7OQe_l36yb/s3264/2022-06-19%20001%20-%20Copy.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_uIHE7M5hVapJBJQnvBRpy_NlVhGOdr2zrwxZFdfaeXM__TTUmjK13uj1DTWOu1ddGaAnktBWZCeBJO1wtknTSIWpZmsROymeBDXDJloAAr1bNcRyHTrnsPjtEp5Mkt8GmETnst1aKDamsr7fnFoFCh5o8qbNA2k8V-myIPOkGU_0Ta7OQe_l36yb/s320/2022-06-19%20001%20-%20Copy.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifjzxz3VV1KFmHrqq2CEduR1q2sSRAJm6njI_5h-tW8GB0uGOorXCTM6HtRip9n_XUAGYqaL8g3VW-S1CGt_J6hu-h2emDTuWALYJ6JOOZVO2Eh4FHK85jp6e0D9Msr0afbvyfAahpEyWZi4NMCMEEK__wGvLHUdHaRFrBaqxIrnaXlj42Ttm1QFB2/s3264/2022-06-19%20002%20-%20Copy.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifjzxz3VV1KFmHrqq2CEduR1q2sSRAJm6njI_5h-tW8GB0uGOorXCTM6HtRip9n_XUAGYqaL8g3VW-S1CGt_J6hu-h2emDTuWALYJ6JOOZVO2Eh4FHK85jp6e0D9Msr0afbvyfAahpEyWZi4NMCMEEK__wGvLHUdHaRFrBaqxIrnaXlj42Ttm1QFB2/s320/2022-06-19%20002%20-%20Copy.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4Cah9uHfXYRwGpksEH8cYJgX9lFqpWqgMGCzPgeLaGsWHq_tvPgx3MWJG0WgWvbuQ3FwrFjDjeMShkJL2A7fdyj3gkKEiKSFIBIk9TInC7UCprh154TmXBTx7QY0aWLNtfiZx3ibVR6PLWI5e2aJkxNJWfYVQelgoRIC1HCEd09ZlCkylo_sqqu5W/s3264/2022-06-19%20004%20-%20Copy.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4Cah9uHfXYRwGpksEH8cYJgX9lFqpWqgMGCzPgeLaGsWHq_tvPgx3MWJG0WgWvbuQ3FwrFjDjeMShkJL2A7fdyj3gkKEiKSFIBIk9TInC7UCprh154TmXBTx7QY0aWLNtfiZx3ibVR6PLWI5e2aJkxNJWfYVQelgoRIC1HCEd09ZlCkylo_sqqu5W/s320/2022-06-19%20004%20-%20Copy.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Summer on the common her favourite place apart from my knee.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /></div><p>Lindsay and Jamie-Lee came round. Jamie-Lee said she and Tommy-Lee had a good holiday. They did not stay too long as Jamie-Lee is back at school tomorrow. While she was here Lindsay cooked them both some tea. I did roast beef and all the bits, very good it was too. We had it a lot later and after Lindsay and Jamie-Lee had gone home. Have not done a proper roast dinner for a while. Andrew did not join us, having a pizza later. Roberto washed up and I dried. </p><p><br /></p><p>20th</p><p>Today Andrew took Roberto on a walk and they went up Steep hill. (This hill is proberly the steepest hill in Lincoln.) Something he had wanted to do while here, In Holland, they do not have hills no a novelty for him. He said it was not too bad. Very warm today. Did the ironing not really the day to do it but now it's done till next time.</p><p><br /></p><p>21st</p><p>Happy Birthday Andrew, hope you have a good day. We got him a phone plus other things. Lindsay was coming round but Tommy-Lee was not very well. We had an Indian takeaway for tea, very tasty and hot. I do not always have this as it can upset my stomach. Feeling very full now and just going to watch a bit of TV till bedtime. Later there was a police helicopter circling overhead. Paul found out on Facebook that it was a man with a baseball bat and a machete sword. The story said he had stabbed someone and the Police were looking for him. Not sure if they found him or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>22nd</p><p>Woke at 5.45 very hot only bean in bed since 3.45 could not get back to sleep for ages still awake at 7am, dozed a bit then till I got up about 8am. I think the air was very heavy plus the spicy Indian food I had did not help. Feels a lot warmer today very hot no breese on the common. 11.30 it was 23C. Cleaning up down stair today. Very hot and heavy. After having quite a lot of heavy meals over the last few days for tea, I did a salad and new potatoes, good and just right after the richer meals we have had.</p><p><br /></p><p>23rd</p><p>Well, another warm day but overcast later, but heavy and warm again. Summer and I went down Sincil Bank for a walk today it was a lot cooler as most in shade. Now and again she does like to have a change. Roberto's last full day as he goes back home tomorrow, For tea we are having the leftover Indian meal with baked potatoes. </p><p><br /></p><p>24th</p><p>Roberto's last day, Andrew and he came for a walk on the common with Summer and I. He wanted to get a good picture of the Cathedral from the common, but it was very misty. Soon it was time for him to leave. Andrew got him a lot of cheese to take back with him so he and his wife will be very happy. Paul took them both to the airport. A bit later Emmie came round and we played with the Barbie dolls. I have pulled my left groin a bit. Well, I say pulled not sure as RSD can just start hurting whenever it wants. Feels quite sore and hurts a lot when going up levels, and putting on shoes or socks or anything that requires raising my leg. </p><p><br /></p><p>25th</p><p>Took the bench out of the greenhouse so I can plant the tomatoes I know they are late but they will be ok. Watered it well and got it all ready. Andrew and I asked Karol next door a bit ago if we could use part of his garden for extra plants we have. Sure no problem with that he said. The problem was it was so overgrown with ivy, nettles, and so many weeds. The ivy was coming over the wall from the car park that was the garage, now closed. I pushed it back and then started on the garden. Pulling up and digging as well as I could. My back was killing but only a bit to do now. Ignore it for now at least it has taken my mind off my groin pain. Anyway, somehow I got it all done and watered. Now ready for the plant's Tomatoes, and tobacco plants to see if they will do any good. These will be planted tomorrow as will the greenhouse. I hurt but so long as I do not move too fast it's okay. I know it hurts but it was all worthwhile as it looks really good. </p><p><br /></p><p>26th </p><p>My back and legs are not the best but it will be alright once I get going. Put the toms in the greenhouse and Andrew did all the outside plants. Watered and settled them in rain later so just the right time. Plants are always better after a rain. Later I put slug pellets down, and cat stuff to keep them off the soil as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>28th</p><p>Getting the bedroom sorted out as we are getting a new bed tomorrow. Also new bedding and curtains. I had to iron the curtains as they were so creased. Watered the plants and outside ones as not as much rain fell as expected. Bean quite windy and warm over the last few days. </p><p><br /></p><p>30th</p><p>The bed has arrived so Paul is getting it sorted and putting on the headboard. Just have to put everything back and make up the bed. We have new pillows they are very thick and fluffy. We also have all new bedding. Paul is putting most of the old bed in the car, but the mattress will not fit so another trip will be needed, ready to take to the skip tomorrow, as not open today. Got most things back to normal, just my stuff to put back in the drawers under the bed. Looking after Emmie later, we came here for a bit then back to her house. While out Andrew had a fall and hurt his arm, a lot of nerve pain for a while. I think he will be alright tomorrow.</p><p> </p><p>Well, here we are at the end of June, flaming June this time as bean very hot this month. Pain-wise average but more headaches. Mixed in other ways but quite good, as a new bed and tv which is mostly Paul's as he spends most of his time in there. Hope you all had a bit of the good weather and are all well. All the very best love Gill.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Gill Pyrahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16554599037210034283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1255014379495295812.post-67372570414133768792022-05-31T13:35:00.001+01:002022-06-03T15:15:20.431+01:00May.<p> May 1st</p><p>A bit colder and very dull and overcast. I have started knitting a baby cardigan for Peter and Jenny's baby. This is a very pretty lemon yellow one, in my favourite pattern, it will not take long to do as a small size.</p><p>Saw some more chicks on the river while on Summer's walk. Not seen many this year this being the only second lot this year. At one time there were loads of little chicks on the river. I this a lot of the ducks have moved on. Lindsay came round later with Jamie Lee. Jamie Lee had got a bike computer from her Dad. Lindsay put it on for her she was very pleased. I have had one on my bike since I first got it in May 2008.</p><p><br /></p><p>2nd</p><p>Saw Peters and Jenny's new baby today and she is so cute. I had bean in the garden, so I did not get a chance to hold her, as a bit mucky from weeding and things. They will come back another day and maybe come in this time as just spoke on the doorstep. They thanked me for the things I made for Prisca a pretty name for a very cute little girl. </p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZqB83JtoT1yVIj0espfLDyU5TmeNXrWcgfJdU-54BHHSjXwKaTpD0Oeb6SPHM_72pooA0zqnAkr1qUtxvJBAOA04MVOhKJnO7c5BmOUSaYeHQ8CDPhD8ofulRzdviPIeyJzSUD57rl0IXD4rG3eZ8_x2TTkt50ujLgPLCj43Hsrm1oxfLywAvi3Fc/s3264/2022-04-19%20010.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZqB83JtoT1yVIj0espfLDyU5TmeNXrWcgfJdU-54BHHSjXwKaTpD0Oeb6SPHM_72pooA0zqnAkr1qUtxvJBAOA04MVOhKJnO7c5BmOUSaYeHQ8CDPhD8ofulRzdviPIeyJzSUD57rl0IXD4rG3eZ8_x2TTkt50ujLgPLCj43Hsrm1oxfLywAvi3Fc/s320/2022-04-19%20010.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Little rabbit I made.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDw2rfhanIHSKf2GHUd2tSdOImwnYtDczCl-y3Tq8weAExqyuHOA1fsB-sRIcYRjHEKBEQpPSgSngHFz43zErMfEDbAkD_yi0LEBwsidBF0PASafuOCqAcyp32zhuGPVmUG5AYKUzJCA0nMP-sXgKg0hju8cdTRm-bPGP_c3inMClRJ-ocdQ6wUteI/s3264/2022-04-19%20014.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDw2rfhanIHSKf2GHUd2tSdOImwnYtDczCl-y3Tq8weAExqyuHOA1fsB-sRIcYRjHEKBEQpPSgSngHFz43zErMfEDbAkD_yi0LEBwsidBF0PASafuOCqAcyp32zhuGPVmUG5AYKUzJCA0nMP-sXgKg0hju8cdTRm-bPGP_c3inMClRJ-ocdQ6wUteI/s320/2022-04-19%20014.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Jacket to fit a bit later.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZnfpKMdSCOKfeVBFTYAw2Qm9REph7jlTIvQ-0blHhlwY73OiRbg-WZ-_7YwCnJ3jfyLLILhNTmRdv6Sri6wow0MMKGgy4JpXpxJctGokzg5lVFnV3bbnuWPHQXX9ERLRUmp4mH4hYkcC6Da6ezdJ0wNuYqCs-k5nEJb7eDSTtdtRgQY9cRfUG1HI_/s3264/2022-04-19%20019.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZnfpKMdSCOKfeVBFTYAw2Qm9REph7jlTIvQ-0blHhlwY73OiRbg-WZ-_7YwCnJ3jfyLLILhNTmRdv6Sri6wow0MMKGgy4JpXpxJctGokzg5lVFnV3bbnuWPHQXX9ERLRUmp4mH4hYkcC6Da6ezdJ0wNuYqCs-k5nEJb7eDSTtdtRgQY9cRfUG1HI_/s320/2022-04-19%20019.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Cardian plus hat and mitts.</div><p><br /></p><p>4th</p><p>Got some more wool yesterday for two cardigans I am making, one for Emmie and one for Jamie-Lee. Also another ball of lemon for the baby cardigan. I did think I would make it with one ball but no, I ran out. Only needed a bit as well never mind I have more for other things. Got three tomato seedlings up so that's good as I thought at one point they had got lost. More will follow hopefully. Jay-Jay my Grandson called in later on his motorbike he is the oldest one eighteen now. Had a bit of a tidy up of my wool, I have a lot now. I am going to knit more toys or baby things and match up the colours and use as much up as I can. The cardigan will not go to Prisca now as Jenny says she has so many. I told her I can always do her one for when she is older.</p><p>6th</p><p>Poor Tommy-Lee has tonsillitis and Jamie-Lee has a throat virus, both not very well. Tommy-Lee has suffered from tonsillitis for a while now, but they only do an operation if an emergency. Having a bit of a problem with Emmie's cardigan doing the pattern while decreasing for raglan shaping. I will get it sorted out properly tomorrow. Looked after Emmie for a little while so Ness and Squidgy went out for a bit. It was not long before they were home again. Talked to Ness for a bit then went home.</p><p><br /></p><p>7th</p><p>Nice today quite fresh but warm as well lovely on the common with Summer. Had a phone call from the chemist to see how I was getting on with my new tablets. I said better no major problems this time. Ness asked me to go round to her house and sit in the garden with her and Squidgy. We just talked and listened to music. They had big fire lit as well, I enjoyed it, even though it was only two doors away.</p><p>8th</p><p>A steady day, a bit in the garden, knitting, changed the bedding and got it washed and dried. So tired today, more pain than usual. </p><p><br /></p><p>9th</p><p>Ironing the bedding plus anything else that needed doing. Got the cardigan right now I decided not to do the pattern all the way up the sleeve. Hope it will look ok I think it will. Still, very tired today and the pain has not settled much. </p><p><br /></p><p>11th</p><p>Finished off the second sleeve of cardigan for Emmie so only the dreaded bands to do. Not very keen on doing them. Also finished off the lemon baby one. Just needs sewing up. Doing the bedrooms today still feel a bit off it but not giving in to it. </p><p><br /></p><p>12th</p><p>Nice walk on the common with Debbie and Kipling. Mary and Rory. Rory is such a sweet dog considering he spent two years on the streets. Rest day today not doing too much only the necessary things. Jenny came later after having her hair cut just down the road. Looks very nice too. She had a virus last week and was not too well. </p><p><br /></p><p>13th</p><p>A windy day. The common is looking very pretty at the moment the trees are beautiful, green and very lush. Mayflower trees are all over the common white with the occasional pink blossom. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyuXsAsFtA5csBZFrjOHEhx5P3RkPrmS0dZISwCtGPlTOXfi0WWFxrKtyeskHiyyBx6jRvk6v1U1mpMhWwWXukyz5iG_l32eaUiN6boT4Ag5wCN6bIlUuo6kIECJGgysvdaS7ZZ6nNIb_wqrF5aWZu3A59Vt8sgQ9xBjNtco79ArS6a8sftl6T0cFT/s3264/2022-05-16%20001.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

All went well only one attempt to get blood. Sometimes it's hard to get blood from me as my veins are very thin and the needle can just straight go through. After Paul and I went to get some new bedding for our bed. We had different ideas so we did well to get two lots so we were both happy.</p><p>16th</p><p>Another warm day but so humid storms later, I do hope so as my head feels like it's going to split. </p><p>While on the common I took some pictures of the two Canadian geese that have taken up living there. They now have little chicks six of them, so cute. While getting the picture they came very close, as I do not like feathered things so this was a bit much for me, so Summer and I left them to their very cute babies. At least I got some good pictures. I was told by a few people they are feeding the geese, so that's why they came close they thought I had food for them.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1uJ9l32lufDHcT-G9f_nmhKRRuynOnZ5KXjWAqUZ6Ueeug26gCQUEEDKdnAw1toVx0DEz5BVNAkz64-6XdmfI24gxnogSQj5Wc6pve_cs6NwVxMZZEaFPqFFJGhjlgBtoZzeDFHzCsLkDrMyBTNM8LS62CQ1P5WMidvrnIc0CIwMRQMDaHAq-afyb/s3264/2022-05-16%20004.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

Tired today, I think the headaches for the past few days have not helped much. Come on let's have a massive storm to clear the air. Cleaned out some big plant pots that have bean in Karol's garden. My greenhouse is in his garden and has bean for at least the last twenty years or so. He is good to let me have it there, Karol is very easygoing and does not really care what I do. Some friends came round later with their dog Roxey. She was very good as still a Pup. Summer was very good with her as well, but Summer is good with everyone we have met.</p><p><br /></p><p>19th</p><p>Went to visit a lady nearby she lives on her own and is very lonely even though a lot of people go to see her. She is a very lovely lady, used to be a very top class hairdresser in London Oxford Sreet. A man who lives near her said she invited a lady into her house only for her to steal off her. How horrible is that, some old people are too trusting. I only met her myself on the fairground common a year or so ago. </p><p><br /></p><p>22nd</p><p>Heart scan at Grantham hospital Paul is taking me there. The journey was good too, not a lot of pain this time. Hopefully, the way back will be the same. Two scans with a drip for one, all went well just getting the cannula in was a bit hard for the scanner. I did warn him about my veins, but he did well with only two attempts. Very warm feeling as the fluid was going through with a feeling of wanting a wee. We went to a garden centre after. Loads of dogs, there is a cafe where they can go, not just the dogs but their owners too. Hopefully, I will hear about my scan soon and see what's going on with my heart. Ok going home too so pleased as when went to the sea I suffered quite a bit and it's about the same distance.</p><p><br /></p><p>26th</p><p>I went to see my friend Mary and her dog Rory plus another friend from the common with her dog as well. A very lovely morning with them. Mary's grandson is here on a visit from South Africa, a very nice lad and has such a lovely accent. I have a bit of CYSTITIS but am taking some powders from the chemist called CYSTO CALM. They usually work quite well as I have had CYSTITIS be for. Hope for the best as not very nice.</p><p><br /></p><p>27th</p><p>Powders seem to be working as CYSTITIS not as bad so I am still taking them. Looking after Emmie tonight the girl from two doors away, may not see her again regularly as they will be moving very soon. Like I said I will miss them a lot. Emmie said she did not want to go. I said I will go and see them all and they can come here. Emmie was good as usual. </p><p><br /></p><p>28th</p><p>Well was I wrong about the CYSTITIS, it is terrible today pain, blood, and stomach swollen, very tender. Tried to phone 111 got through, and pressed just about every button on the phone, taking around seven minutes. Only to be told due to a large volume of calls, and to try later and was cut off. I will keep taking the powders and IBUES to lower my temperature and to help the pain. I did not try 111 again. </p><p><br /></p><p>29th</p><p>Emmies Birthday day ten today, took around her presents she liked them. Two novelty pens and books. The little Emmie doll look like I made for her. Plus some large light up balloons in pink, they glow for days. Resting today and knitting a bit as I feel a bit rough.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRaBrpZW1Yyxko0jYduhtGl2RMGbG3nnhBtEI90IH5wGZxJSiYzztQixYo22AEdNMTArrX0xFVlMBXjbYEV7uaE9m4o0vyUmTJiir3TISroy0ljFCgCT10xB3nq9epXJf9HFtLph7gtw2YMaP0c0ygA7PtmmJHlWvZUPk1bSHIrLMrt-g13G5rrm02/s3264/2022-04-19%20013.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRaBrpZW1Yyxko0jYduhtGl2RMGbG3nnhBtEI90IH5wGZxJSiYzztQixYo22AEdNMTArrX0xFVlMBXjbYEV7uaE9m4o0vyUmTJiir3TISroy0ljFCgCT10xB3nq9epXJf9HFtLph7gtw2YMaP0c0ygA7PtmmJHlWvZUPk1bSHIrLMrt-g13G5rrm02/s320/2022-04-19%20013.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjndRAlB6nwM-SOzHL6ltP-7YWkmysIrhnZyf4lJhAbq64s4-DmGenGmzQOGD2uathw0uI9ZL4__9nH-lPG5mD5KE7uaMFFCEE0TIKmDtRndsDTuaA8XCkyZ2tyTLVjQPNn_PcF8Gye1mOdHHdbqsTCwQ-VF5gDaTXgKdW1ox64v2Zpq_vgSQ2pCZd8/s3264/2022-04-19%20011.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjndRAlB6nwM-SOzHL6ltP-7YWkmysIrhnZyf4lJhAbq64s4-DmGenGmzQOGD2uathw0uI9ZL4__9nH-lPG5mD5KE7uaMFFCEE0TIKmDtRndsDTuaA8XCkyZ2tyTLVjQPNn_PcF8Gye1mOdHHdbqsTCwQ-VF5gDaTXgKdW1ox64v2Zpq_vgSQ2pCZd8/s320/2022-04-19%20011.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> The look-alike doll I made for Emmie.</div><p><br /></p><p>30th</p><p>Paul got me an appointment to see the Doctor this was the wife of the Doctor I see. I had not met her be for. The appointment was at the other surgery so Paul took me. I was examined and a sample of urine was tested. I had an infection. She wants me to be seen by the hospital and have a scan of my kidneys and bladder, plus other tests. The Doctor said this will not be too long be for I am seen. I think I have heard that one, before just but wait and see what happens. I was given ANTIBIOTICS CEFALEXIN 500mg - 3 a day for a week. If the urine test shows up a different infection I will be contacted and the tablets changed. Feeling very tired so sitting down for much of the day.</p><p><br /></p><p>31st </p><p>Doctors today for a blood test to see how the new tablets I started for my heart are affecting my blood.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, another Blog published- and more to tell, some good and some not so good. The weather has warmed up most days now. So that helps me a lot, but still suffering at times. Infections do not help either. RSD does not care so we RSD suffers have to make the most of it. I look forward to mine and Summer's walk every day. Going out in the car can be very painful as you all know. So this is mostly all I have but it's one of the best. Hope you all are well and pain-free as possible Love Gill. </p>Gill Pyrahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16554599037210034283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1255014379495295812.post-89627314211698737642022-04-30T18:03:00.002+01:002022-05-03T19:15:37.210+01:00April.<p> 1st</p><p>Bit of snow on the rooftops, but by mid-morning, it had all gone. At least I was right about the snow. Bit more snow and sleet later. </p><p><br /></p><p>3rd</p><p>A frosty start, lovely on the common very fresh. Lindsay and Jamie-Lee came round later. They brought Suey their dog, best friends with Summer. Both were very excited to see each other. I hurt quite a lot today with pain everywhere. Started making a little jacket for a new baby girl. The baby was born a few days ago. So I thought I would make her something. The parents got covid soon after her birth so I have not seen them. </p><p><br /></p><p>5th</p><p>My friend Debbie's Birthday today, I made her a Womble as part of her present.

Jamie-Lee will get it next time they are here. I have started knitting a little doll for Emmie two doors away. This does not take much wool and is ideal for leftover wool from other things I have made. </p><p><br /></p><p>8th</p><p>I have somehow gone wrong on the baby jacket I am knitting. I think I know what I have done. I got it sorted it was too many rows between the buttonholes. The mice seem to have gone from the shed. Hopefully, they have found somewhere warm to live. I felt quite guilty turning them out of their little den.</p><p>Spring has sprung on the common and trees are beginning to look green again breaking into buds. Not all of them, some are still very dark looking. I have had no letter from the cardiology about my tablets so cannot get more. My Doctors will get the same letter as well and add the tablets to my list. I am now only taking one, BISOPROLOL. For the last few days, I have only bean taking half a tablet or they would have run out by now. All the others have had major side effects. Really bad stomach pain, the runs, and terrible bloating. I rang them and the receptionist said there is a letter on the way. I said that's what the other two said. I told her that it had bean a month since I saw the Cardiologist, surely that's enough time to get a letter to my doctor. My friend Tracy has Covid but is not too bad.</p><p>Went to Gio cashing (modern treasure hunt) with Lindsay and Jamie-Lee. Jamie-Lee found them all. I thought I had found one, but it was an ariel lead from a TV. The bit you are looking for is usually in a capsule. No little gifts this time, just bits of paper that you sign your name on, to tell others that you have found it. A nice hour or so but, I did not feel the best. Neither did Lindsay so we did not stop out too long. At least Jamie-Lee had a bit of something different during her Easter holidays.</p><p><br /></p><p>10th</p><p>Chilly start to the day but it soon warmed when the sun came out. Nice steady walk on the common, mind you with Summer there is not much chance of a fast walk. Unless that is she sees Mary, then she will get a bit faster so she can get a treat from her. Ness and Squidgy house has got an offer on it. They have an open day later in the week so there might be more offers. Emmie came round to play for a bit and was playing catch with Andy from across the road, who came for a coffee. Andy went and Emmie and I played for a bit. Lindsay and Jamie-Lee were coming but Lindsay did not feel well. She still gets terrible headaches. Hope you feel better soon Lindsay.</p><p><br /></p><p>11th</p><p><br /></p><p>I spoke to the secretary of cardiology at the hospital. This is the third time I have rung them up. She said a letter has bean sent today. I said I am now out of tablets with no way of getting more as no letter. With it being Easter this week there will be little chance of getting them for a week at least.

They stayed for tea. Tracy has recovered from covid as it was only a slight case. </p><p>Lindsay got a phone call from Andy (Ex and Jamie-Lee's Dad saying he had lost his phone on the cow paddle where he takes his dog Rocky for a walk. Lindsay and Jamie-Lee went to help I was hoping they would find it as it was getting dark. Jamie-Lee did find it after Lindsay rang it. Well done Jamie-Lee. Andy gave her some money. </p><p><br /></p><p>14th</p><p>Another warm day, cleaning up today then into town to get Jay-Jay and Tommy-Lee something as I gave Jamie-Lee the doll. I got them shower gel deodorant and a bag of lollies. I hurt a lot coming home, times like this I wish I had gone on my scooter. Probably done too much, but when I can do things I do or nothing would get done. I can rest now. I paid for it later PAIN everywhere. At last, I got a letter from cardiology so my doctor will have one as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>15th</p><p>Weeded all the garden not too much to do as I try to keep up with the weeds, with the warmer weather they are coming up a bit faster. A lot of the flowers coming up as well. I prefer being outside even in the rain. Watered it as well as very little rain this month. After tea, I sprayed all the garden with greenfly killer. Changed the bed as meant to be a nice windy day tomorrow so the bedding will dry. I am very tired now but not in too much pain as yet, 10pm.</p><p><br /></p><p>17th</p><p>Another warm sunny day. Summer had a bath so she is so soft and fluffy. I washed her basket, and she was not happy that she could not go in it. I showed it on the line, she just huffed and puffed a bit. I did make her a bed but it was not her basket so still not very happy. Later after her basket was dried she had a good sleep in it, very content again. I have now finished the baby things for Peter and Jenny's baby. I am making a little rabbit as well.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzEYPGqGCMHgLMoJOOHSRnBSa94LIvOeywg-bePjqDMUBLitoZKJERHqRXK6DbUR4ddiy-TcYz4iKuIluZb7s92_eZQ0AIW1netoosR5ePVOqe4x0tJjvNatNdazky_NI_rp11oSmmow3wXNl05SJIjOOy71V2e4_JI3ofOVx0SlvfVDzHrOG8K1ro/s3264/2022-04-19%20014.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

This is for Christmas so I can pick it up and put it down as I like.</p><p><br /></p><p>18th</p><p>Summer hurt her back paw on the common while playing with another dog. She limped for a bit but when she saw Mary she ran to her for her treat. So I thought it was just a pull or something. Later on, she looked very sad, (she can do a very sad face and you have to feel sorry for her,) and was limping quite a lot. I looked at her paw, and she had something between her paw pads about the size of a small marble. I got it out but she struggled against me. Not sure if this was the cause of her limping though as It looked like it had bean there more than today. Anyway, I am sure she will feel better than without it. We will see how it is tomorrow, might have to have a rest day.</p><p>I hurt as well not so much my legs this time, my arms. I can not get rid of the pain, like a flu-like one.</p><p><br /></p><p>19th</p><p>Seemed funny not going on the common, as Summer was limping quite badly still. She did seem to mind too much staying in though. So maybe she was in a bit of pain. Sewing together the rabbit I am making for the baby. I put the arm joint on wrong and could not get it off. They are designed not to come off for safety. Andrew managed to do it for me, by cutting it. Normally I would have just cut around the joint but, I had no more fur of that colour left. I had plenty of joints. I got it done and just need to stuff it now. </p><p>Later Summer was not limping hardly at all, so hopefully, it's the common tomorrow. </p><p><br /></p><p>20th</p><p><br /></p><p>All of a sudden the common is alive again. The trees are bursting out and the trees are waking up for Spring. Summer and I were on the common and both of us enjoyed it a lot. She saw Mary and got her treats, also some more of her dog friends. I rang up the doctor to see if they had done my tablets from the hospital. NO, they had not got a letter yet. I told them I had, and they should have too. I had to take mine in so they could copy it. Now the doctor needs to see it and pass it. So in all probably another week's time before its sorted. I will try to speak to him next week when he is in the surgery. Not good enough is it? I went to see the cardiologist on the 8th of March. </p><p>Summer seems a lot better today a slight limp but she seems a lot happier. I noticed the claws on her back feet were quite long. I will get in touch with Maxine to get them cut. I could take her elsewhere but she trusts her.</p><p>I had a lot of left hip pain later, could because I was on my bike earlier.</p><p><br /></p><p>21st</p><p>Deadheading the flowers cutting back the daffs to give more room for upcoming plants, Pulling up the few weeds that have come up, and a general tidy up to keep on top of it. My Hip seems to be fine today so that's good. Summer's back to normal now, not that she is like a normal dog at all more human. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Ness and Squidgy have sold their house.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXdHf4koixfgeq9FdJP-MWz4o4SJP4ZrRCoMxFIlyLDrHrPPaPLn4D0N_koZXc-7vFzsWyUlt5sEgfbqll4tu1cuAvjGyFkvSMUmu_15_kjwnhP0Zp4z7gbncEBT8pxnmBR0i0NLGJSOLPIbGLjTEUMwu-zSZoaJ4JY3fOSAyn-_T-ONDPwLPubVwG/s3264/2022-04-25%20004.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXdHf4koixfgeq9FdJP-MWz4o4SJP4ZrRCoMxFIlyLDrHrPPaPLn4D0N_koZXc-7vFzsWyUlt5sEgfbqll4tu1cuAvjGyFkvSMUmu_15_kjwnhP0Zp4z7gbncEBT8pxnmBR0i0NLGJSOLPIbGLjTEUMwu-zSZoaJ4JY3fOSAyn-_T-ONDPwLPubVwG/s320/2022-04-25%20004.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br />Rabbit is now done and looking good.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC3R8AAHwrjBoikxRFDRgstpZur-SmNUmiVQYFWfo-HlSQGgFMq6_F3vyi_wKlsC1KKF7MWorZDBiINGxqxkzKofLZo8mwM-mrjimX1hzfqy8eKb9cxdbaMArC0pQYNu-a3sSpKb9TmWzmMSdA0dSszuIGQ2_vUMLYYb3OSBHPVuTST0OmaH_K_Doj/s3264/2022-04-19%20006.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC3R8AAHwrjBoikxRFDRgstpZur-SmNUmiVQYFWfo-HlSQGgFMq6_F3vyi_wKlsC1KKF7MWorZDBiINGxqxkzKofLZo8mwM-mrjimX1hzfqy8eKb9cxdbaMArC0pQYNu-a3sSpKb9TmWzmMSdA0dSszuIGQ2_vUMLYYb3OSBHPVuTST0OmaH_K_Doj/s320/2022-04-19%20006.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfI1OXZ6N31aX8AKmnMJ_QMjxSVhqKIGSz5OZrRaUQD8Kbkq_RKEgbmXrAzRYm3ryM5_m9nv3LhsKnwqdpt6HwxnEsddLGCVaDk9LaJ5u1lNrzSBaKHRdtgeEWleH0uLhxzMjwl7K07zogq5SPguDruA7nR1ijGqi8F3pxmCRCzn4Sxh-oXOHuZRHF/s3264/2022-04-19%20010.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfI1OXZ6N31aX8AKmnMJ_QMjxSVhqKIGSz5OZrRaUQD8Kbkq_RKEgbmXrAzRYm3ryM5_m9nv3LhsKnwqdpt6HwxnEsddLGCVaDk9LaJ5u1lNrzSBaKHRdtgeEWleH0uLhxzMjwl7K07zogq5SPguDruA7nR1ijGqi8F3pxmCRCzn4Sxh-oXOHuZRHF/s320/2022-04-19%20010.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Cute rabbit.</div><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>22nd</p><p>A bit chilly to start with, with a cold east wind, I had my gloves on, Mary said she was cold as well.

This time it is here from 20th till 24th of this month, Usually here a week. Tomorrow they are going again with Tracy. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyigJzc7GLKlB7tElS5bn-77It_EdYXMVjmDIZDs-SikbKNpY9HtM_0XoyfbGBgPh_D2pQBQjLZRqvn9XsOZrLN7v7h_EDyijwRMQt0PuUmCUdkBJhy41otGMgxv53eFsPeO4px_26oaV1_vQlmvzX_W9fIZoj8uApVbSSJWcPcHUtPF5d0flQnK3n/s1517/278571124_5144896408892939_3529252715586186115_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1517" data-original-width="843" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyigJzc7GLKlB7tElS5bn-77It_EdYXMVjmDIZDs-SikbKNpY9HtM_0XoyfbGBgPh_D2pQBQjLZRqvn9XsOZrLN7v7h_EDyijwRMQt0PuUmCUdkBJhy41otGMgxv53eFsPeO4px_26oaV1_vQlmvzX_W9fIZoj8uApVbSSJWcPcHUtPF5d0flQnK3n/w223-h400/278571124_5144896408892939_3529252715586186115_n.jpg" width="223" /></a></div><p>Summer did not want her chew so kept it in her mouth for over an hour then she buried it on the grass.

I will just go to the opticians and get them to put another one in. I think it could have bean loose a while because they have not fitted right for a few weeks. I do not wear them all the time, mostly used as sunglasses. Bit more Knitting of Emmies cardigan going well. </p><p><br /></p><p>26th</p><p>Cleaning up today, I managed to knock over a plant, a mug of tea, and my salt lamp which broke the bulb. All sorted but I could have done without it all, as wanted to get it all done. I feel quite tired today less sleep than normal over the last few days. Spoke to my own doctor today about the heart tablets that I have bean put on from the hospital. He is doing the prescription today changing three of them for coated tablets. So they should be ready this week. At last, I am getting nearer to getting them, but we will see, so far it's bean a complete disaster. </p><p>27th</p><p>On our walk today Summer met a greyhound, The man said she does not usually come up to people. She spotted Summer and came straight over. She let me stroke her as well. The man said this has never happened before. The dog was I think was called Hogen, and was usually very shy. I told him that Sumer was very gentle towards people, and has a calming influence on other dogs especially if they are a bit timid or young. He stroked and loved her thick soft fur. Summer lapped it up and looked up if so to say I can take more of this. Near the park we met a couple with two young children, they were stroking Summer and again saying how soft and lovely she was. </p><p>Going to Lidils today with Andrew, it's Dutch Week, so things he used to have when he lived in Amsterdam, he is hoping to get today. He got lots of things, the basket seems to fill up more when I said I would pay. Got Paul beer and dates, and I got rice cakes and a bag of sweets. Summer got a chew out of her supply. She was happy to see us back. She does not like anyone leaving the house at all. </p><p><br /></p><p>28th</p><p>Cold today, back to winter again. Nice but chilly walk on the common. When we got back Maxine had come round to cut Summers's toenails. I rang her and asked her to call in when she was in this area. Summer was a bit confused as to why Maxine was here. When she comes to give her a trim, the cloth is down and she brings her table. As neither were here she did not know what was going on. Nails soon cut and Summer ok again. Thank you so much, Maxine.</p><p>Went into town to get my glasses screw done. Got a few bits I wanted, more wool for a cardigan for Jamie-Lee. She liked the one I was doing for Emmie, she would like blue instead of pink. Another one to take my time over as it will be for her Birthday I think, in September.</p><p><br /></p><p>30th</p><p>Well, today I actually got my tablets today that were prescribed for me on March 8th, I ran out and could not get any more like I said earlier in my blog. They have bean changed slightly so hopefully, they will be better. </p><p>ATORVASTATIN FILM-COATED 20MG- CLOPIDOGREL FILM-COATED-75MG BISOPROLOL FUMARATE 2.5MG. The spray to go under my tongue has not bean changed. LANSOPRAZOLE has bean stopped., good it did not suit me. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Well, not too bad a month this time. The days are getting warmer so that makes everything better for me. I think most people will agree. Hope you are enjoying the sunshine and coping with your RSD.<span style="text-align: center;">Love Gill and Summer.</span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Gill Pyrahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16554599037210034283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1255014379495295812.post-69388221116752970052022-03-31T13:22:00.006+01:002022-04-30T14:06:05.817+01:00March.<p>March 1st</p><p>A horrible wet cold day. I do not think it stopped raining all day. Sorting all the books from spare bedrooms to go to the charity shop. Got rid of quite a lot, the rest now fit on the bookcase. </p><p>Bit more knitting of Jamie-Lee doll trousers. Still got the hair to finish off as well, this is taking a lot more time than I thought it would. Jamie-Lee is going on a school trip tomorrow for two nights. Somewhere near Derby. This is the first time she has bean away from home apart from relatives.</p><p>Jordon North- Radio 1 DJ is doing a challenge this week, which he started yesterday, to raise money for Comic Relief. He is to row 100 miles from London to Burnley, his hometown, and his beloved football team, Turf moor- Burnley FC. Jordon has bean doing a bit of rowing practice over the last few weeks in secret. His challenge was announced last week on his and Vic's radio show. </p><p>Good luck Jordon and well done for your courage, and guts, for doing this challenge. </p><p>3rd</p><p>Jordon is absolutely wrecked, he has just run out of steam. Poor Jordon. He got out of his rowing boat and just collapsed. Only tomorrow to go, you can do it, Jordon. Around twenty miles to go, think of the finish with all your friends family, and fans. Everyone is behind you willing you on.</p><p><br /></p><p>4th</p><p>Jordon has done it, coming up to the finish were his Dad and Brother on river bikes with other families members in the crowd. Earlier on his Dad had fallen in and had to be fished out. The crowds were going mad and cheering Jordan all the way. He has done it. Very tired but rejuvenated by his friends and family not forgetting his fans. He looked good, all the pain and blisters were forgotten about for now. </p><p>So far he has raised £74,000 for the Charity. Well done Jordon. He said it was the hardest thing he had ever done in his life and never, never, again.</p><p>Jamie-Lee enjoyed her School trip and is back home now.</p><p><br /></p><p>5th</p><p>Going into town today to get Jay-Jay my oldest Grandson, some presents for his eighteenth birthday tomorrow. I am usually not this late getting things but I did not know what to get him. After looking around I managed to find a Nike zip-up and T-shirt to fit him and was pleased. I got some shower stuff and sweets as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>6th</p><p>Happy Birthday, Jay-Jay.</p><p>I wrote this in his card: Jay-Jay another chapter in your life begins. Things have not always bean easy for you, but sometimes you have to work at them, to get things right.</p><p>Andrew made him some engraved glassware, and a box with his name on it, very nice too. He liked all his things and showed me what other presents he had got. </p><p><br /></p><p>8th</p><p>Debbie and I both feed the birds near the common mostly the robins that live near a big tree. One of them or both are seen regularly. I got some pictures they were both there to start with but one flew off.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_KI1VN_zJ23tplEVLA2T4e81wYUXsvpmM6lfH5QizWIkPzsC7I5g0XxFJv10y9sSoKGblHzzfoE2pMD1qfzOwM89c20M2aI8mc9YMhrfNxZD90sdbj33z0g3Y3AF97D6AjJazZDi-bjSyiTpT74pN5QiQDAPo1CaLFkjsHEw7Fr81ImpaJg5h1URe/s3264/2022-03-07%20001.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_KI1VN_zJ23tplEVLA2T4e81wYUXsvpmM6lfH5QizWIkPzsC7I5g0XxFJv10y9sSoKGblHzzfoE2pMD1qfzOwM89c20M2aI8mc9YMhrfNxZD90sdbj33z0g3Y3AF97D6AjJazZDi-bjSyiTpT74pN5QiQDAPo1CaLFkjsHEw7Fr81ImpaJg5h1URe/w400-h300/2022-03-07%20001.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLdRs6gWfsr6ZjWr90UOUgH9nHMKzMnJFb4KrryG_JfeYqIh2TW3zVgHMygF7wV0QtBE77VJS9FgeP2rEmeU11LL9EGjsCetTSHFOokoQfB5YOvrDHjX-wYlln6bbftPujwzf7YVFwn6QsjHm94BRAU1q0_FH0MbavU318p4c-lKmhrPJYuvFIaxP0/s3264/2022-03-07%20004.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLdRs6gWfsr6ZjWr90UOUgH9nHMKzMnJFb4KrryG_JfeYqIh2TW3zVgHMygF7wV0QtBE77VJS9FgeP2rEmeU11LL9EGjsCetTSHFOokoQfB5YOvrDHjX-wYlln6bbftPujwzf7YVFwn6QsjHm94BRAU1q0_FH0MbavU318p4c-lKmhrPJYuvFIaxP0/w400-h300/2022-03-07%20004.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5aHI4z87_YoR_CbrmoJIbdJfGkN2Twn_zmHaKf1gcVwIczR5v7wxHBwir3fuuUTshL-uCPbNunh5vt7SHK5xzyFKBVTWYgfdxAGCFgOsKLPYZ3sfwjkwDJkrErTMg8Vd6KMi2tBSkuvSSFHPxKjZv7blFOCHFbkCjfTujj5lz3xSMS1bx_vhuH504/s3264/2022-03-07%20005.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5aHI4z87_YoR_CbrmoJIbdJfGkN2Twn_zmHaKf1gcVwIczR5v7wxHBwir3fuuUTshL-uCPbNunh5vt7SHK5xzyFKBVTWYgfdxAGCFgOsKLPYZ3sfwjkwDJkrErTMg8Vd6KMi2tBSkuvSSFHPxKjZv7blFOCHFbkCjfTujj5lz3xSMS1bx_vhuH504/w400-h300/2022-03-07%20005.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWIqLu5hebpEptY_TZeLAvujqsNkijqECkOYFH5WPYmwPmg82Mg5SYZ4OwDqZ5Su2o01Ctu0l6WymxU4xRw63eN7xh3v5KX2ULC8OPSqgdghqfnew_KX4hTAniAEoxHwt6yjEGKE9FppSGfEulhUn0cyKN3uJyhdXbGGLABL9tVZ_a9tg8csEaKiC_/s3264/2022-03-07%20007.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWIqLu5hebpEptY_TZeLAvujqsNkijqECkOYFH5WPYmwPmg82Mg5SYZ4OwDqZ5Su2o01Ctu0l6WymxU4xRw63eN7xh3v5KX2ULC8OPSqgdghqfnew_KX4hTAniAEoxHwt6yjEGKE9FppSGfEulhUn0cyKN3uJyhdXbGGLABL9tVZ_a9tg8csEaKiC_/w400-h300/2022-03-07%20007.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p>They have become very tame and often sit waiting for us. I am scared of birds and feathers, so I am pleased they do not come any closer. I do like to watch them but at a distance.</p><p><br /></p><p>At last my cardiology appointment, first I saw one of the team who asked me questions. I was weighed and had my observations taken, plus an ECG. I then saw the consultant who said the scan I had earlier in the year was OK. The valve he was worried about, is good for now not perfect but OK. The other thing now he is worried about is the heart itself. I am to have more tests.</p><p>In the meanwhile, I have bean put on tablets to help with the pain and erratic heartbeat. I said could I not wait till the next test results to see if I really need them. He said you might not get a second chance. I will take the tablets, at least for now anyway. He did say that if the next test results are good I will be able to come off them all. A deal I said and he laughed. I hate taking any tablets and tend to reduce mine whenever I can. </p><p>The new medications I have bean put on are:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>GLYCERYL TRINITIRATE SPRAY to use if the pain is bad, under the tongue. </li><li>ASPRIN 75mg to thin the blood.</li><li>LANSOPRAZOLE 30mg- to protect the stomach. I was on this a few years ago, but it did not suit me. I will try again though.</li><li>ATORVASTATIN 20 mg- this is to lower CHOLESTEROL. mine is very slightly high and has bean for a number of years. My own doctor is not worried as I have a good lifestyle.</li><li>BISOPROLOL 2.5mg. This is to help with any pain and lower the heart rate when it goes a bit wild. I hope they do not have any nasty side effects.</li></ul><p></p><p><br /></p><p>9th</p><p>Did some gardening today tidying up everywhere and getting rid of the dead bits and the few weeds that had come up. A spring-like day, quite warm. One of the tablets has given me the runs quite bad I hardly dare move for fear of pooing myself. I think it's the ATORVASTATIN- as I looked it up on the side effects. I hope it settles down soon. Apart from that nothing else so far apart from aching everywhere, but this could be anything. I hurt most of the time anyway so I am not counting this. Early days yet so just carry on taking them. </p><p><br /></p><p>12th</p><p>Gave Summer a bath yesterday she was very mucky and a lot of grit and muck came off her. I bet she feels a lot better now. She smells very nice so fresh now.</p><p><span>I have knitted a pair of gloves for my friend Mary, the one with Rory dog. She did not know that I was making her some. Every day when I saw her on the common she said her hands were cold. Even though she wore gloves So I decided to knit her a pair. The ones I make are 70% wool so very warm. I wear them myself and I have RAYNARDS bad circulation in my hands and feet. They keep my hand warmer than any other gloves. I mostly wear two pairs in the cold weather. She wanted to pay me for the wool but I said no they are a present. </span><span>Jenny had problems with her shower door and Paul said he would have a look at it. He managed to fix it quickly, as it was the seal bent over. I said to Jeny it could be this. She was very pleased and made us a cup of tea. We stayed for a while just talking. I feel quite tired today not really with it sort of feeling. </span></p><p><br /></p><p>13th</p><p>Sorting out my wool to see what I have. With knitting, you mostly have some leftovers not enough to do much with but too much to throw away. So you come up with ideas to use it, like toys and little bits. One year I made loads of hats for Age Uk for little Innocent fruit juice drinks to go on top of the bottles. Lindsay came round and Jamie-Lee of course, they stopped for tea. We were going to have Sunday dinner, but we had sausage and chips instead, very nice it was too. I love chips, especially homemade ones. I wash them and leave the skin on.</p><p><br /></p><p>14th</p><p>Into town today, got some new wool from a charity shop for more gloves. A lot cheaper than wool stall, but you have to be there at the right time to get lucky. Got a few other bits, and had my glasses sorted out. I sat on them and they were twisted and uncomfortable. All sorted and wearable again.</p><p><br /></p><p>16th</p><p>Runs calmed down a bit I feel a bit safer when I go out now but the pain is in my stomach is still bad. </p><p style="text-align: left;">Summer had her hair cut today and looks so cute and very white. As usual, she was very good, she loves Maxine and waits for her in the hallway. Maxine does not use the harness or anything to hold her. I think she is the only dog that she can do this with. If when cutting Summer's face she will often give Maxine a kiss as if to say thank you. </p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Pictures before haircut.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTMhYZKoUJeid-gzXQ0j2UmhyqYimuhyZCYxzCx2yGg870ZW1jYhd6veznKS8FTYSFoxs4-is8Vb1IJNKOVn2wzLCYQxbQIMGKKC5caCgByagkAq-SYBnl4_oPH8LZrZgJAmSsjwKLPNEaE9nSCe2Yb4peV1qvBy2YVLBXcN_dvdHJKCHcirojWD3z/s3264/2022-03-12%20003.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTMhYZKoUJeid-gzXQ0j2UmhyqYimuhyZCYxzCx2yGg870ZW1jYhd6veznKS8FTYSFoxs4-is8Vb1IJNKOVn2wzLCYQxbQIMGKKC5caCgByagkAq-SYBnl4_oPH8LZrZgJAmSsjwKLPNEaE9nSCe2Yb4peV1qvBy2YVLBXcN_dvdHJKCHcirojWD3z/w300-h400/2022-03-12%20003.JPG" width="300" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;">This is what I think of getting my hair cut.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGsFvk1vsaMd_kM8WvM0smO2wxgEgpeA_CniiXNzwrRbljBcXyh3WQ3OyeYU78oXxyrWtyu-WqCVrB3G3rFsI33XzdWrG17YIqrcZsoo0pvh1c_1UWLaTjHVx-zrxFacQBe4SXdKNUjUsmdwDYArXjjS5023kdZrk9qqZHJZFGRSyO-0PIUZTbsux0/s3264/2022-03-12%20004.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGsFvk1vsaMd_kM8WvM0smO2wxgEgpeA_CniiXNzwrRbljBcXyh3WQ3OyeYU78oXxyrWtyu-WqCVrB3G3rFsI33XzdWrG17YIqrcZsoo0pvh1c_1UWLaTjHVx-zrxFacQBe4SXdKNUjUsmdwDYArXjjS5023kdZrk9qqZHJZFGRSyO-0PIUZTbsux0/w300-h400/2022-03-12%20004.JPG" width="300" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;">What I get an extra treat,?

Summer was running around like a little pup. I think the sun brings out the better in most people as everyone I met seemed very happy. I even saw a few in shorts and T-shirts. Not quite ready for that yet as still a cold wind at times. But everyone is different. I picked up a lot of bottles that some had taken to the common, drunk them, and left them there. One was smashed and the lower part sticking up. If a dog or horse would have stepped on that it would have bean quite nasty. I do not know why they can not take them home in the bag they came in or bin them. </p><p> </p><p>Later Paul and I went to Mablethorpe a seaside town not far away. There was sand- racing on- motorbikes on the beach. We watched for a while then wandered off to look around the shops. Not everything is open yet, usually at Easter time.

People were in shorts in the park and in the sun it was quite warm. Still a very cold wind though. Tidying up the greenhouse ready for the seeds soon. I was going to seed today but, decided not to as it can still be cold in there. So I will wait till next month. Cold can set the plants back a few weeks, so I just might as well wait a bit.</p><p><br /></p><p>24th</p><p>Cleaned all upstairs today. Later finished off the Jamie-Lee look-alike doll's hair. This has taken around four to five hours maybe more. Looks good I think. When I get the tie done, I will put up a picture of her on the next blog. </p><p><br /></p><p>25th</p><p>Sorting out the gap between the bathroom and shed, it gets very untidy at times. Andrew went into the bottom woodshed and said he thought there were mice in there. I left some cheese to see if there were. Ness said they prefer chocolate or cake, something sweet. So I left some chocolate and will check in the morning to see if it has gone. </p><p><br /></p><p>27th</p><p>Checked the shed, chocolate had gone. I will sort it out today. Andrew has a lot of his things stored in there. Moved many things and sprayed them with disinfectant spray. Trew away anything that the mice had ruined, lucky not too much. The bags of birdseed had been attacked and a lot in some of the boxes. Soon there was only one box left, so the nest must be in there. It was- when I tipped the last bits of the box out, one ran out then the other, the first went next door, and the other shot under the shed. They had made an impressive nest of paper, bubble wrap, and cloth. The smell was quite strong. I felt quite mean breaking the nest up. Mice can be very destructive so they had to go. There was a hole in the shed, I think this was their shopping route to get extra bits and water. Paul mended the hole so hopefully, they have gone. </p><p>Later Lindsay and Jamie-Lee came round. With it being Mother's day I got some daffodils (I did not get a picture of them.) and two cards from them. Jamie-Lee wrote in her Nan's card, from your Granddaughter. Which I thought was quite sweet and funny. She said so you know who it's from me. Wayne and Kayleigh rang up and wished me Happy Mothers Day. They sent a card and a present. Andrew had given me pendants earlier this month.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJTge_tyLawaK-Fj4gL9kr5GU3OoJA0VhsPymM2PBCwuMt3lNHwxnXEefiv-BQOepxuRpRFu7fgWmWMOmRRAxlNG4ZAd0WPuRgasuwX63Cr4aHvn_lqDTjN5hxATzz95hyhkU_O1GQkqmU8NSV-rH9Gm1qKuLEe26Zkfkj7Dlprz4cpMoIcXAzsoT9/s3264/2022-04-02%20004.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJTge_tyLawaK-Fj4gL9kr5GU3OoJA0VhsPymM2PBCwuMt3lNHwxnXEefiv-BQOepxuRpRFu7fgWmWMOmRRAxlNG4ZAd0WPuRgasuwX63Cr4aHvn_lqDTjN5hxATzz95hyhkU_O1GQkqmU8NSV-rH9Gm1qKuLEe26Zkfkj7Dlprz4cpMoIcXAzsoT9/w400-h300/2022-04-02%20004.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">From Wayne and Kayleigh.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV-b2n6QRTeDKwK_7MVkQLlso-fiHvPPv0Hy01ER5xQBwf-AD6u1kxuxcpo4MNbSID_1QrGOlnsIEiZfQfPLa2JrL3qYEqigaI5v2WA9qoIWNa2oHnd9RlFFyOlYFMAEsBCEbPSI0UdU9EpoRQSlrK6TKg-ue39_wKneuPjVqI7gHR2OVmc83WyZ1n/s3264/2022-04-02%20005.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV-b2n6QRTeDKwK_7MVkQLlso-fiHvPPv0Hy01ER5xQBwf-AD6u1kxuxcpo4MNbSID_1QrGOlnsIEiZfQfPLa2JrL3qYEqigaI5v2WA9qoIWNa2oHnd9RlFFyOlYFMAEsBCEbPSI0UdU9EpoRQSlrK6TKg-ue39_wKneuPjVqI7gHR2OVmc83WyZ1n/w400-h300/2022-04-02%20005.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ0P-twFN4OtI0yM8kB7hHrHZlmu5yp6E0IE6-ZKwtTnW8p8oJ3pzAa9IAWbhUQLNIYL03zbmRw46dLB7eMpYnWVFWKnxmn6a-olXfS2AlIVHKXdb7P8nuZv9ONAiBQO5PqgSu489f5H2BFgeRqCf_BxFmLxxIEPFHEW1qgC_o4X4BnTsaE1QioOVP/s3264/2022-04-02%20006.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ0P-twFN4OtI0yM8kB7hHrHZlmu5yp6E0IE6-ZKwtTnW8p8oJ3pzAa9IAWbhUQLNIYL03zbmRw46dLB7eMpYnWVFWKnxmn6a-olXfS2AlIVHKXdb7P8nuZv9ONAiBQO5PqgSu489f5H2BFgeRqCf_BxFmLxxIEPFHEW1qgC_o4X4BnTsaE1QioOVP/w300-h400/2022-04-02%20006.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: center;">Wayne and Kayleigh.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMmi2sWmd6s1qTdCdldjJdMu3EMpPr-Wu_MhGoZ-a9MOP0A4KxIbAZZkksRsuMwkLU2vWySboGXqe_kZC7TBsuAOjS4WVLNUE2SYuEK-zLlZhZy_50RVeq4cHZtTq0jIHsZK_DBfGxT-8jg2Zn8AqH1hKsWxiQmf0uut7S1UL3zwKkhBhB6axOUnHm/s3254/2022-04-02%20011.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2434" data-original-width="3254" height="299" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMmi2sWmd6s1qTdCdldjJdMu3EMpPr-Wu_MhGoZ-a9MOP0A4KxIbAZZkksRsuMwkLU2vWySboGXqe_kZC7TBsuAOjS4WVLNUE2SYuEK-zLlZhZy_50RVeq4cHZtTq0jIHsZK_DBfGxT-8jg2Zn8AqH1hKsWxiQmf0uut7S1UL3zwKkhBhB6axOUnHm/w400-h299/2022-04-02%20011.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixN2fb3Fqc_IkIp2qJvYdlXbFjTbAwsoX8fsYFHuYv3nlC_4hldAwgPfWhG7Neie9BnV3vMSOqWMal7oFxOUlusb2pTfYo_fW7n8W4QI67aFs6tjWluw6cFlPY7FglQMMlfxYz2bMHhblMohHKre659sivVbIAyHfqv10wYVKoxQcRxteb57ZsttLj/s3264/2022-04-03%20002.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixN2fb3Fqc_IkIp2qJvYdlXbFjTbAwsoX8fsYFHuYv3nlC_4hldAwgPfWhG7Neie9BnV3vMSOqWMal7oFxOUlusb2pTfYo_fW7n8W4QI67aFs6tjWluw6cFlPY7FglQMMlfxYz2bMHhblMohHKre659sivVbIAyHfqv10wYVKoxQcRxteb57ZsttLj/w480-h640/2022-04-03%20002.JPG" width="480" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;">From Lindsay and Family.</p><p><br /></p><p>28th</p><p>A misty start to the day colder than the last few days as well. I looked in the shed and the chocolate was still there. So for now the two little squatters have gone. I will need to check as they might be a hole I have not seen. Hope they will be alright as they were very cute. Getting warmer and there are plenty of sheds in the car park at the back. If they do decide to come back, Andy across the road has a humane trap so I could release them further away, hopefully, they are still together. </p><p><br /></p><p>29th </p><p>Still have problems with my stomach but getting better since I have stopped most of the tablets. The pain was terrible I have IBS so that flared up. I felt sick a lot of the time, very bloated. Also, bleeding when I went to the toilet. So bye-bye tablets. I have tried ringing the hospital and even spoke to the doctor's secretary who said I would get a phone call back to advise me on what to do for the best. I told her I had stopped all but one of the tablets, BISOPROLOL. They would have run out but I have bean taking half a tablet. I can not get more because they have not sent details to my doctors.</p><p>Met my friends Jenny, and Joy, for dinner at Thomas 2 in town at 1pm. I did not really feel like eating but did have some. I had not eaten since 7pm last night and was feeling a bit dizzy. Of course, the RSD saw its chance to cause more pain and discomfort and went for it big time. Both Joy and Jenny are doing well. Joy has lost weight and looks so much better. She said she feels it too. Well done Joy. </p><p><br /></p><p>30th </p><p>For the first time since starting and stopping the new tablets, I woke up without stomach pains. Not as cold today nice walk with Summer on the common. I saw one of the little mice coming from under the shed, to get the seed from the grass that came out of the box they were in. Chocolate was still in the shed, so no break-ins so far. </p><p><br /></p><p>31st</p><p>I told Andrew it was going to snow. No, he said, not cold enough. It usually warms up to snow which it has done, Cleaning up downstairs today. Not feeling the best but will feel worse if I just sit all day. </p><p>Later on, it snowed not a lot but it did snow. Soon went when the sun came out. Wayne has got snow as well just a covering. I rang the hospital again same response I will get a phone call she said. The other secretary has now retired so it's her she thinks I will deal with but she is at Grantham, not Lincoln. I told her about the tablets. So I will just wait and see. I am not taking the ones I stopped so either replace them or forget them. I would prefer the latter. Snowed a bit more, but not settling as the sun is warm. </p><p><br /></p><p>Well, another month has gone for this year. Not the best but not the worse. The weather is picking up a bit so that makes things better all around. Most people feel better in the sunshine. RSD prefers warmer weather, well mine does. </p><p>All the best to you readers,</p><p>Love Gill and Summer. </p><p><br /></p>Gill Pyrahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16554599037210034283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1255014379495295812.post-23928388765992093052022-02-28T13:14:00.002+00:002022-05-17T22:23:31.021+01:00February<p>February 1st</p><p>My appointment with the cardiologist got cancelled because she is ill. Seems to be a lot of my appointments get cancelled. Not the cardiologist's fault though, hope she gets better soon.</p><p><br /></p><p>2nd</p><p>Not as cold today on the common, not windy either. A good walk with Summer. </p><p>Just lately my pain has not bean as bad, bad enough still. The overall pain is still there but the flair-ups have backed down a bit, the tiredness is still as bad and the wobbliness comes and goes as it feels like it Could this mean things are starting to improve? I do hope so this year will be eighteen years of RSD.</p><p>Lindsay and Jamie-Lee came round later and stayed for tea. They had bean to Sports Direct to get Jamie-Lee some roller skates, they were a bit too small so need to go back for exchange. Found out later from Lindsay they did not get bigger skates but sledges. Do they know something we don't?</p><p><br /></p><p>3rd</p><p>Quite a bit colder today another good walk with Summer on the common. My friend Angela came round to see us. She is doing alright. Taking a pair of jeans up today, it took longer to try to thread the needle and get started than it did to sew them. I have a needle threader on my machine and had to get the instruction book to see how it works. My hand shakes a lot and can not hold things at times, and today was one of them. </p><p><br /></p><p>4th</p><p>Out with Jenny today at Age Uk where I used to volunteer. We both went back to see what it is like now. I have decided not to go back as I don't think I could cope. I struggled even before and dropped a lot of things. Jenny is going back and was a little disappointed that I was not. She understood and said I will try it and see how I get on but even she was not sure. She will get a date when to start. Things have changed a lot there is only one person left that we know in the kitchen. Bit of shopping then home. </p><p><br /></p><p>5th</p><p>Very windy and cold on the common saw my friend Mary and she said she was cold. I said put your hood up. She said I will not be able to hear you then. I said you can not hear any way or see very well. Rory, her dog loves it on the common and runs around for ages. Mary waits for him to come back then they move on, This can take a long time so she gets cold. Rory used to be a street dog so is used to doing his own thing. Making my friend John a Birthday cake. I just put everything in the mixer so it's not hard to do.</p><p><br /></p><p>7th</p><p>Frosty start to the day and very cold too. Saw Mary on the common she gives Summer little treats. Summer did not see her to start, with, but when she did she ran to her and got her treat. We walked around with her again. Met Joy in town and she gave me a present and card for my Birthday on the 13th. Good to see Joy, I have not met her in town since last year. </p><p>B12 injection later this stung a bit but not as painful as some I have had.</p><p><br /></p><p>8th</p><p>The dentist canceled what did I say earlier about appointments? Saw Jonh and gave him his cake and present for his Birthday today. Picked up my tablets that the chemist missed yesterday off my prescription. </p><p>Later I watched the Brit Awards, I watch every year (when it is on) Adele got three awards and Ed Sheeran got the writer of the year. Good, but I did not like the man comparing it, a comedian, he laughed at his own jokes even when they were not funny, but still, I watch it for the entertainment of the singers.</p><p><br /></p><p>9th</p><p>Not a good day for me today very wobbly and more pain than usual. I do not feel with it at all far far away feeling. Could just that I have bean doing more and the RSD has objected does not take much to upset it.</p><p><br /></p><p>10th</p><p>Very frosty start but soon warmed up. Summer made two new friends on the common a chocolate labrador and a black one. When she was a young pup she was chased by a chocolate Lab and was scared of them for a long time. I was pleased she was not frightened by him as he was a very large dog. Good girl Summer. Looked after Jamie-Lee later, so Lindsay could see Tommy-Lee's teachers at school. Jamie-Lee has got tonsilitis. <span style="text-align: center;">Another puzzle I have finished. I got a bit of help from Lindsay and Jamie-Lee she put in the last few bits. This was a Christmas present from my friend Joy.</span> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEij8GeiegPXq9Q59mf6nNX7Z_UEFSs772mjswMc9IkXh0foBohcCM_FDZLF2L-0df2RJhnwyL1zRIPWbZ1ic1hblkKsGBWmml-EFJ8X3zFhogrp3u1cbKx36UsR0n60R8n25WF9A56tiavDMhhDkWdDjux9_wuzpyDsU2OguZETKR8I9niOGvTNl7bw=s3264" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEij8GeiegPXq9Q59mf6nNX7Z_UEFSs772mjswMc9IkXh0foBohcCM_FDZLF2L-0df2RJhnwyL1zRIPWbZ1ic1hblkKsGBWmml-EFJ8X3zFhogrp3u1cbKx36UsR0n60R8n25WF9A56tiavDMhhDkWdDjux9_wuzpyDsU2OguZETKR8I9niOGvTNl7bw=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Lovely picture.</p><p><br /></p><p>12th</p><p>My Brother David and Sister in law Bev came round, to bring me a card and present of a rose for the garden plus a large sunflower decoration for the garden also. They could not stop long as they were parked on the high st, as no room on our street because of football and the extra cars. This meant only a short stay because of restricted parking, an hour. He did not want to get a ticket obviously. Good to see them both as it bean a while, Christmas last time. I gave them three small cakes one for each of them as one of their sons lives at home. I told my Brother not to eat more than one and will check when I ring up after my Birthday to thank everyone for the cards and presents.</p><p><br /></p><p>13th</p><p>Happy Birthday to me. Lots of very nice presents and cards. I bought myself some crystals with money from previous Birthdays and Christmas I got four and Paul bought me one. We had a Chinese takeaway later with Lindsay and Jamie-Lee joining us too. Very good too, I ate properly ate too much as IBS played up - worth it though. </p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Cards and presents.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Storm Douglas is coming this way, then Storm Eunice too, this is meant to be stronger and more powerful than Douglas. Weather warnings are in place, severe for some. </div><div>Very windy on the common this does not bother Summer at all. soon after we came back it rain and for most of the day heavy showers. The wind and rain got worse after dark.</div><div><br /></div><div>17th</div><div>A lot colder on the common today and so windy. Walked around with Debbie and her two spaniels Monty and Sooty do not like the wind and both wanted picking up. She said look at Summer she does not mind one bit. She was running around with the wind blowing her fur. Debbie was told yesterday that the river people have just about finished the banks and are soon packing up. They have done a good job I will put a picture when all the tidying up has bean done.</div><div><br /></div><div>18th</div><div>We have got storm Douglas, at the moment, This is not affecting us too bad, but some parts of Britain have had a battering and a lot of damage has bean done. Straight away we are heading into a storm, called Eunice. This one is meant to be a lot stronger. I know it was very windy on the common. Summers fur was blowing in the wind. Cleaning up downstairs later. Sharp frost when I went to bed and very cold.</div><div><br /></div><div>20th</div><div>Lindsay and Jamie-Lee came round. Jamie-Lee has had tonsilitis but is just about better now. Later I did a bit more of the Amsterdam puzzle going well and not too hard to do. I have done the sky first as most people leave it till last and then it can be quite so boring.</div><div><br /></div><div>21st </div><div>Still quite windy but not as bad as it has bean both storms have now passed through. Walked around the common with Debbie her two spaniels again. Debbie said she had met a lady and a dog who had just moved here. She did not know about the common and her dog went crazy and shot up the hill in excitement. She was very pleased too as where she moved from had nothing like the common.</div><div>Yet another storm is coming mostly to Ireland but could go anywhere. At least it's good for drying washing two lots done and dried so quickly. I love the smell of fresh washing.</div><div><br /></div><div>22nd</div><div>Picked up Tommy-Lee's jacket it needed a zip slider and I did not have one the right size. The lady charged me £10.00. Not too bad I suppose but it's only a ten-minute job. I was annoyed I could not do it myself. Took Summer out for an extra walk later extra biscuit too which she very much enjoyed.</div><div>Paul cooked tea, rice and a Jalfrezi mince dish not too bad but a bit unusual. A lot more pain than usual well at least I have had a few better days. </div><div><br /></div><div>23rd</div><div>I am sorting out the hair for the Jamie-Lee doll. Jamie has curly hair so I need to make it look like hers. I wrap the wool/yarn around screwers and big knitting needles. I stemmed them with the iron, they have turned out very well. Now just to hook them on to the head. This will take hours as her hair is very thick. Riverbank is done now, most of the River people have moved on to other jobs. So it's pretty quiet out the back now. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgfi9p6ATYC2X50pJQZbZAsNBa7cEIfHYNPriAguLU9S--qV2y9j0lubEanLYFZFqsgNHp8b_IgZ2-aglxV824gbHLoCrBcyVotYuKR5V_Lon0jXX_AUxZc3f0QBT8N574t6rKnnSnf4ffXoXaFRCCun4awYDMjb9-Vd2KgolCGODJxpZAI0j-L0_g6=s3264" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgfi9p6ATYC2X50pJQZbZAsNBa7cEIfHYNPriAguLU9S--qV2y9j0lubEanLYFZFqsgNHp8b_IgZ2-aglxV824gbHLoCrBcyVotYuKR5V_Lon0jXX_AUxZc3f0QBT8N574t6rKnnSnf4ffXoXaFRCCun4awYDMjb9-Vd2KgolCGODJxpZAI0j-L0_g6=s320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgZK6RHJEW7pIFEijRL-oypKTFtwW3IG3a4JwRkKU3EAgriO55H0TDaRI5gt92lBXTuotSmGfUntIqLcPAFUm4COARto13eQ_1KKcrm-Ie3X6JmKTFXjABrGDudU2DCglou_6KnYDwQtNs5UowynOgPvWBaVRDOjylK42tLcnXxB0M0-mNfGK55ZDxf=s3264" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgZK6RHJEW7pIFEijRL-oypKTFtwW3IG3a4JwRkKU3EAgriO55H0TDaRI5gt92lBXTuotSmGfUntIqLcPAFUm4COARto13eQ_1KKcrm-Ie3X6JmKTFXjABrGDudU2DCglou_6KnYDwQtNs5UowynOgPvWBaVRDOjylK42tLcnXxB0M0-mNfGK55ZDxf=s320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi4dIO7PydJv8_OTF9Gd1fIXrf16y9F1w8AVrAB_c5UaJqbJvzmY20whRsGjOK9eTO0pZRcpY2xVui0CjN_kgqWTzzoC7VkzsmT_8ELjMPM9hRzM_D5WrIfFMnzFT-hyDROYYONJ1eUjubVmt1kxv8bmWOiM_OPLCvLm8nP6z4xx5vZ5m9h3zJCTbE3=s3264" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi4dIO7PydJv8_OTF9Gd1fIXrf16y9F1w8AVrAB_c5UaJqbJvzmY20whRsGjOK9eTO0pZRcpY2xVui0CjN_kgqWTzzoC7VkzsmT_8ELjMPM9hRzM_D5WrIfFMnzFT-hyDROYYONJ1eUjubVmt1kxv8bmWOiM_OPLCvLm8nP6z4xx5vZ5m9h3zJCTbE3=s320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiCpnljTaLEYmfDeZhIyzeVR0B-ZI318tG86DE0XJqTp1pi81xV3z23RddvcLTEMCQLLzbGl9GIcovI34vpjjsxNQCZPIRr1eSM3cT5puRHzJWkTbg0Ca2vocQogxt3SvCOM-UV9-r4biQh88TdoIkFsgcvimpSzVin_EKMG5P0nD-uB_KMI8f41IM_=s3264" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiCpnljTaLEYmfDeZhIyzeVR0B-ZI318tG86DE0XJqTp1pi81xV3z23RddvcLTEMCQLLzbGl9GIcovI34vpjjsxNQCZPIRr1eSM3cT5puRHzJWkTbg0Ca2vocQogxt3SvCOM-UV9-r4biQh88TdoIkFsgcvimpSzVin_EKMG5P0nD-uB_KMI8f41IM_=s320" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhK2eZQMU7bjB_BbkmjEpnCHG7AXlbPNYO59nMDvatC_-sapmTpPL510V5un7Qjb-92IfKWe_7Ybc6iLJIlH7Rl__cNoE9jOZSe2KD-YmYJ31NY1V469fGWyd9pDGAxNpgYBMR3gto9T5XI79GYaTj4PKX_SAwsHp_Nm-AiBnldbfopI1SfIr6FQeUC=s3264" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhK2eZQMU7bjB_BbkmjEpnCHG7AXlbPNYO59nMDvatC_-sapmTpPL510V5un7Qjb-92IfKWe_7Ybc6iLJIlH7Rl__cNoE9jOZSe2KD-YmYJ31NY1V469fGWyd9pDGAxNpgYBMR3gto9T5XI79GYaTj4PKX_SAwsHp_Nm-AiBnldbfopI1SfIr6FQeUC=s320" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">I think it looks good now, and the ducks love it deeper and wider for them.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>24th</div><div>Cold and windy today again not a storm this time, or not yet anyway. Dentist today 2.15 to refill a tooth that lost its filling. I was told I would not be charged as it was within the guarantee, well this was not really true as was charged a check-up fee of £23 odd, but not charged for the filling. I quiried this and the dentist said they have to do this as the Nation Health makes them. The dentist had told me to floss more, this is what made the filling come out. The left side of my mouth was numbed, I need extra LIDOCAINE to do this now, since having RSD. so I think it will be numb for quite a while. The numbness went around 9pm. A little sore then but not too bad.</div><div><br /></div><div>25th</div><div>My friend Jenny is at Age UK today to see if she can cope with the changes. I hope she gets on alright. I know she wishes I could be there as well, but that's not possible for me. Later in the day Jenny phoned me and said she enjoyed it and is going back next week. All the best Jenny. </div><div><br /></div><div>26th</div><div>Did a few more of the curls for Jamie-Lees hair going to be a long job, as taking more hair than I thought. Was not pleased with some I did, so out they came, so more than ever to do now. Chinese for tea which was very nice. Andrew and I shared a veg curry which he had asked for to be hot and spicy. Very much different to the usual veg curry we have from there, the Chinese across the road. It was good, but a little hot for me, but Andrew loved it he has his food spicier than I do. </div><div><br /></div><div>Andrew put some hair on Summer from the Jamie-Lee doll, and she just laid there you can almost do anything with her more so at night time when she is very tired.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjEjLXng3HA9wWOXhz7XieZflUL6ciVZ6Q0-9sn4mnkzLfBiAUrHyNsYSyMY9K3Lot7OjEAmV3mkIA2_qgL5FwKUYGAfZjwFXlgc4O4U0XHuevpEa1BhDiV0ARaSeJ_jKAT2cEtcLUEtfoyh0pwKdDUJ1-rGlGyt275moWdwSxEoY8AkixV7OKSwYkS=s3140" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2272" data-original-width="3140" height="232" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjEjLXng3HA9wWOXhz7XieZflUL6ciVZ6Q0-9sn4mnkzLfBiAUrHyNsYSyMY9K3Lot7OjEAmV3mkIA2_qgL5FwKUYGAfZjwFXlgc4O4U0XHuevpEa1BhDiV0ARaSeJ_jKAT2cEtcLUEtfoyh0pwKdDUJ1-rGlGyt275moWdwSxEoY8AkixV7OKSwYkS=s320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgYXKiCls1ai2fe48MBJfaS2tPSHIHKA1gA6pAbkvFsa5ibc7DovWnCVoFVbTJ7jO7MXTo_wnCWcnwEe1hUxvPZVqTXMBhlTNU1JpVAEhXE1Y_MGeaDc-LN6tL7aWgEm6jK-3nLv-G49RXUyUNJe63o0TemyucuERL0Ts0u9wGEPBaQ8ykGKexZokHd=s3264" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgYXKiCls1ai2fe48MBJfaS2tPSHIHKA1gA6pAbkvFsa5ibc7DovWnCVoFVbTJ7jO7MXTo_wnCWcnwEe1hUxvPZVqTXMBhlTNU1JpVAEhXE1Y_MGeaDc-LN6tL7aWgEm6jK-3nLv-G49RXUyUNJe63o0TemyucuERL0Ts0u9wGEPBaQ8ykGKexZokHd=s320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj9yFR7aNrz0ThcKXAWHgwUWqe0r5DuvmtwpMPKwOCuX-5Itfd2ibd1HcIn8EKglYx8UNU7hmYh8dQ-Llwg_cPom83qvEkKcUDwrpaEkdAa9xCqs8AQcu5KYIKPnDWq3beJ_ybSpnWVAYsINl3ZepvlTMXmEzPIiHwSmhRho36__vkMTpK1hDI92Czf=s3138" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2276" data-original-width="3138" height="232" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj9yFR7aNrz0ThcKXAWHgwUWqe0r5DuvmtwpMPKwOCuX-5Itfd2ibd1HcIn8EKglYx8UNU7hmYh8dQ-Llwg_cPom83qvEkKcUDwrpaEkdAa9xCqs8AQcu5KYIKPnDWq3beJ_ybSpnWVAYsINl3ZepvlTMXmEzPIiHwSmhRho36__vkMTpK1hDI92Czf=s320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">I think I could go into films with this new look.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>27th</div><div><br /></div><div>Not feeling the best today hot, cold more than usual.

We first walked around with Debbie then met Mary, and had another walk around with her. Even though summer is now eleven years old she is still very strong and active. I think if I carried on going she would too. Very cold with an even colder wind cuts through you like a knife.

Meeting Paul in town to get him some trainers as part of his Christmas present. </p><p>Very cold so I put on my duffel coat thinking it would be warmer than my other coat as it's mostly wool, it was not and I was cold. At least we only went to one shop and he got what he wanted. </p><p><br /></p><p>6th </p><p>I made some mince pies and jam tarts in the afternoon. Plus some sausage rolls for Paul. My eyes are sore today, I think it might be the cold wind from the common walks. Snowed for around two minutes Lindsay and I saw it. Might be some more later. Hope so, as I and summer love the snow as many of you know from past years. </p><p><br /></p><p>7th</p><p>Bedrooms to clean today took a lot of the day. Then some more of the schoolgirl doll. Going well a lot of clothes to do. I have not started the body yet as no flesh wool. Paul is getting me some today from the market. Very tired later, and my eyes are still sore still. I think it's the wind making them like that. My eyes are always dry from the side effects of the tablets I take so not good to start with. So it does not take much to make them sore. I have bean doing my blog on my new tablet that Paul got me for Christmas. Very different from a laptop or computer. Lindsay is having her booster today at the showground, Paul is taking her, I have Jamie-Lee here with me. Later I am looking after Emmie a neighbour's girl who I regularly look after later. Her parents are going out together for a change. Ness is a nurse so her working hours can be all over the place. Emmie and I had a good time as usual. She got tired so I said it was time for bed. When Ness and squidgy came home she was fast asleep.</p><p><br /></p><p>8th </p><p>Cold and wet today summer and I went down Sincil bank her choice. Carried on knitting the school girl doll, the plan is to make her look like Jamie-Lee, I think I can get a good likeness. When she is finished as usual I will put a picture on here. I need to be doing something when I am sat, so the pain does not take over. The knitting helps a lot. Paul is at football today. His team Lincoln city has not bean doing well so far this season, so he is hoping for a win today. When he came home he was pleased Lincoln had won the match and played a good game.</p><p>Chinese for tea this was very hot and delicious. I was hungry so had quite a lot. We all enjoyed our super. </p><p><br /></p><p>10th </p><p>Doing the cleaning up today Paul is helping I usually do it all. I started in the bathroom and Paul started in the front room. I usually do this on my own sitting down when I need to. I feel like I am getting a cold or something very drained. I take echinacea when I feel like this and it helps a lot. By the end of the day, I felt a lot better, very tired though.</p><p><br /></p><p>11th</p><p>A lot of ironing to do today as changed the beds yesterday so sheets and quilt covers. Plus shirts and other bits. The cold I thought I was getting seems to have backed off a bit. Summer had a long walk today and was running around like a little pup.</p><p><br /></p><p>13th</p><p>My friend Jenny came round today after having her hair done just down the road. Good to see her. </p><p>Found out today that I am going to receive some money from Attendance Allowance (money to help with support for RSD and any assistance I may need). At last, a four-year battle was over. I am pleased this is now over. I could not have done it without my friend John's help. So thank you very much, John.</p><p>Later night time my legs were causing me a lot of pain, the sort that does not stop. Nerve pain I took tablets and MORPHINE but the pain went on. I tried TIGER BALM, no relief. I went to bed in pain. I have had this be for but not as bad for a long time. Hopefully, the pain will lessen overnight.</p><p><br /></p><p>15th</p><p>Pain has lessened a bit in my legs, it's not too bad when moving but when sat it's very uncomfortable. I think a lot of this has to do with the bad varicose veins on my left leg. As with RSD, the pain does not have to be where it actually starts from. The other leg just joins in to cause more problems. I have seen my Doctor about the veins, but he says that unless they become a major problem they are left alone </p><p>Lindsay and Jamie-Lee came round in the afternoon and stayed for tea Chinese. Very good it was too. Jamie-Lee spilt hot curry on her hand and it made her very upset. I do not think it will blister as Lindsay straight away put it under cold water. Jamie- Lee soon recovered and finished off her meal.</p><p>She brought round her sewing machine for me to look at, got it sorted and she was very pleased. </p><p><br /></p><p>17th</p><p>In town today to get some new baking tins. The ones I have are not much good now. All the non-stick is no longer. So things like sausages and roasties stick. These tins have a ten-year guarantee so they should be good. Got a dentist appointment, as well as a filling, has dropped out. We are having toad in the hole today so that will be a good test as in the past tins everything stuck so half the Yorkshire was left in the tin. </p><p><br /></p><p>18th</p><p>Had to go back into town again to change the baking tins as they did not fit side by side in the oven. Got a bit smaller ones so all was good. Sorted out my baking tin cupboard and got rid of the other tins. Tried them later and the Yorkshire pudding just lifted out. So a good start to the tin washed up like a washing up a plate well pleased. The toad in the hole tasted very good as well. </p><p>In the night well early morning Summer was very unsettled and I came down. Stopped down for around an hour then went back to bed. Not sure what spooked her but she was not happy. I have not had to come down to her for a long time. </p><p><br /></p><p>20th</p><p>Very cold on the common, -2 with the wind chill factor. Helping out a friend today sorting out a few things. Ironing before I went so I was pleased it got done. Got back around tea time fish and chip and mushy peas, very nice.</p><p><br /></p><p>22nd</p><p>Not doing a lot today so I decided to make a start on a puzzle Joy got me for Christmas. Got quite a lot done too. I treated myself to some CDs from Amazon, Taylor Swift, Years and Years, and Yung Blud, Ed Sheeran and Sam smith. </p><p><br /></p><p>23rd</p><p>Bid more of the puzzle, I have a fold-up board so I can put it away safely when had enough. All the CDS came today. Will get played later. </p><p>The river worker are getting the river looking good. The cranes now have gone, still digger and trucks. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiDoZ8ZC-KNutmt0v91u6fQMdAGd9rlCUAcvWUJMUmAW-DyqLXXNt3eNshteIt-MktUTPACGOvIY_YILrXDoyVaCmpeHapIwWXYtVlk5CqJZNVgBjHRwgxF3fPsVAprqVijKatmnORoLqweKl0hhAxhUjpYFJbe4btcVYcUUDe2XI78zrC_OVtWnjsh=s3264" style="margin-left: 1em;

Playing my new ones at the same time all are very good. Still, Taylor Swift to play. </p><p>Not had a bad few days with pain so that's good. Balance is not good at times.</p><p><br /></p><p>25th</p><p>Cleaning up, then a bit more knitting of school girl doll, going quite well. Later on, while locking up and letting Summer go on the grass be for bed. I bumped my head on the shed wall. Only a graze but felt quite sore. The RSD went wild and soon I had pain throughout my body. I had to stay down a bit longer till my pain had lessened a bit. </p><p><br /></p><p>26th</p><p>Told by Mary that there were four horses on the road near the crossing on South Park. Probably from the common, hope they will be alright. I did not see them but they left a pile of muck behind. Mary said there was a lady on the phone so hopefully, things will get sorted and they soon will be safe and back where they belong.</p><p>Headache today from where I bumped it. Only a small graze but it does not take much to upset RDS.</p><p><br /></p><p>27th</p><p>Weather mild today, its has gone barmy again, windy too so did the bed sheets, quilt cover, they dried too. </p><p>When I saw Debbie friend from down the street, she said she saw four horses being led back on the common while walking her dogs yesterday a few minutes after Mary saw them. Pleased every turned out alright and they got back safely with no accidents. </p><p>My head is not as bad today but a bit sore around my eye. </p><p><br /></p><p>28th</p><p>Very mild again I did not have my hat and gloves so it must be warmer. Summer had fun running around with Rory, Mary's dog. Doing a bit more of the schoolgirl doll I am knitting Finished off the duffel coat. So now only the hat, gloves and scarf to knit. </p><p><br /></p><p>31st</p><p>Got Jamie-Lee tonight. Lindsay is at an Indian Birthday meal for one of her friends. After Jamie Lee had tea, she showed me some games on her tablet which she thought I would like. She showed me how to download them onto my tablet. We had a good Nan to Granddaughter time for a couple of hours. Soon Lindsay was soon back and they went off home. A very lovely night with my Granddaughter Jamie-Lee.</p><p><br /></p><p>First Blog of the year and not too bad I think. Pain wise pretty good- apart from my wobbles and hitting my head on the shed wall 25th. A good start to 2022. A bit different to last year when I broke my wrist. Hope you are all not too bad and enjoying some things. All the very best love Gill.</p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj6jjMYwRGGu2QWGzYYQp0U36K_XmmYpGo0KlXRyt9ICjTK8ps2Rj52H2sC7cxJdXUszFLCv9z4d0KxroytG4u-JKxrcniLR_XiKyKYClo1OjPaHFKzbpxcmmHnm7oUduyPKFsKKyFpvSLAXCoxUaAwjs4gYxWB-jNoULQ0ltETLKq-I2JA4CJ7j1O2" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="4160" data-original-width="1872" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj6jjMYwRGGu2QWGzYYQp0U36K_XmmYpGo0KlXRyt9ICjTK8ps2Rj52H2sC7cxJdXUszFLCv9z4d0KxroytG4u-JKxrcniLR_XiKyKYClo1OjPaHFKzbpxcmmHnm7oUduyPKFsKKyFpvSLAXCoxUaAwjs4gYxWB-jNoULQ0ltETLKq-I2JA4CJ7j1O2=w288-h640" width="288" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Summer ready for a swim.</p>Gill Pyrahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16554599037210034283noreply@blogger.com0
