[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Morning :hello:[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Mrs LW Oh no, poor Docky. I hope he's OK, fingers crossed for his appointment x[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]I used a heat patch on my leg yesterday, it wasn't enough so I used two. Still didn't do a lot so I put stuck them straight on to my skin, apparently you're not supposed to do that but I didn't care by then By teatime I was able to work in the greenhouse, kneeling on the floor and getting back up again without pain. I had to move slowly but it was so much better. It's still very tight this morning but not painful, I'll keep using the brufen gel for a couple of days.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]My hall window looks awful with material taped to it, but it's doing the trick – there was no frenzied barking from Scampi. He was relaxed all day, there was the odd bark when heard neighbours in their gardens but he stopped when told to. This is what having a pet dog is supposed to be like [/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]I didn't get round to hoovering yesterday, the floor's a mess but I was so pleased that Scampi was relaxed for once and I didn't want to change that by having him chase the hoover about Will get that done today. I have a couple of loads of washing to do and a few tomato plants need taller canes. I won't be doing the morning walks for a couple of days, everyone else is at work so ball games in the garden are in order

Good luck with the operation.

Mrs L

Fingers crossed for docky.

Remembered today was bin day so dragged it out on the road, loaded dishwasher and cleared kitchen a little. Emptied pulley of bedding and threw dirty laundry into basket downstairs.

Made a cup of tea and had nice peaceful shower and shampoo, looked out a clean outfit and having a browse on here while hair dries a bit.

Postman has just delivered a small parcel and I need to check buses to York to see dd around lunchtime. She is starting a morning volunteering for charity so hope that makes her feel more like her old self of a few years ago. Might treat us to a cheap lunch but will go with the flow.

No idea what to cook tonight but there is a freezer shop near the bus stop so might see if they have frozen pastry to make a quiche etc or anything that looks tasty and healthy that I can cook properly rather than processed stuff.

I need to send off details re DH's company pension but can't seem to get it done. Will give myself a shake when I get home and make a start and can post it tomorrow and get envelope weighed properly.

Tomorrow is our 33rd anniversary and will be difficult but have cleaners coming so will have to be sensible.

Hugs to all

Good morning all.


The handyman is here and getting on with his work, and I am feeling really good for once, and motivated. I am on hold to npower to sort out my bills, and have paid two others this morning. It's amazing how much lighter you feel when you tackle something that's been preying on your mind for a while.

Good Morning everyone, grey heretoday but not at all cold. Docky slept in his 'cone' last night and no more damage to his nosey this morning. Big patch of open has granulated and he's out for morning walkies with Dadi. Vet at 11.30 this morning with the senior vet who knows him best. Need to take advice on how to proceed from here and keep him comfortable if it's possible, also need to be advised of 'management' of the wound if it's not going to heal properly in the long term, if there is one. Thank you all for your kindness and support, it helps so very much and your kindness makes times like these less hard to live through. Will post again when I know what the position is. Docky sends all of you ER BYG LYKKE!!!!!

Oh dear, I've been awol for a few days, and missed what's been going on with Docky. Healing vibes coming his way.

Pippa was collected yesterday; and the franchisee had a favour to ask of me. My next booking wasn't to be til 19th June; but one of his other hosts has had to back out of a booking as her mum is very poorly, so I have a Ridgeback/Collie cross coming to me on Thursday for 9 days. He's bigger than the dogs I usually look after (we have only a tiny bungalow) but I'm told he has a lovely nature, so we should be fine.

I've been doing more painting in the kitchen; did 2 coats on the area above the cupboards and behind the fridge/freezer yesterday, which just leaves the bit behind the washing machine. I've put one coat on that this morning, and will do the 2nd coat later this afternoon, then that's all the walls done. Hooray!!
