Shhhhhhh. Bit quiet round the parish. BoP is on POETS Day early the morrow. Now where was BoP.

France is over. It's about to begin. Before that, the last one bought about 100 years. Amazing how France gets in twice.

Just off for some trough. I know, bin a bit Brazzen this week, but I need to fur up my hairs, and we know what that means.

:heartpuls to all in need.

Good evening everyone :hello: I've been AWOL for a while with reports being written - now finished, thank goodness.

I have what can only be described as a "gammy eye" - a technical term, which I described to the doctor. She smiled. A mixture of conjunctivitis and a heavily inflamed eyelid, which makes me look as though I came second in a boxing match. She gave me some ointment for the weepy eye and antibiotics for the eyelid. Joy!

Pleasures for the last couple of days:

1) Been to Zumba as part of my membership at the local sports centre. It's absolutely fantastic! Love it!

2) The NHS. I detest going to our local surgery as the receptionists are (rightly so, on occasion) brusque, but once you get through the front line, the doctors and nurses are brilliant. Today was no exception with my gammy eye.

3) Work colleagues. One covered my class whilst I was out at the doctors, another helped me to put ointment into my eye. They're great!

4) Cat is now allowed out. Not that she's been out much. When she headed out for the first time, a big tom cat seemed to sniff her out. Thankfully there'll be no kittens due to a previous operation (!) but the poor thing seems to think that every time she steps out of the door the horrid tom will be waiting.

5) Friend stayed over last night as she was on a course locally. DH cooked whilst we caught up with the goings on with our lives. Great to see her.

More ointment needed. I'll get DH to do it this time...

1. Finishing work a little early and getting home before the roads get busy. When I say busy I mean with tractors, lorries and other large vehicles that people round here tend to overtake on corners! Not relaxing.
2. Laundry basket still only had a load and a half in it so one load done and hanging on the airer and the other one can wait.
3. Remembering to drink water - nice to have pleasant tasting water, sometimes forget what a luxury clean and pleasant drinking water can be ..

1) A walk with Charlie the retriever and his mum yesterday afternoon across the common and back along the footpaths, nice to walk with a hound again.

2) An evening out to the cinema and for supper afterwards with my lovely sister in law, much giggling, most enjoyable.

3) A lie in this morning, I didn't wake until 8.15!!! unheard of but nice.

4) Unexpected phone call from DD1 just because she could so she did, one happy Mumsie!

5) DD2 rang and said she'd call to see us on Sunday as she was visiting friends in the area over the weekend and thought we'd like a visit from the Zebra child, she was right!

Oddnesses still chez&. Have to be patient and let things heal slowly but it's tiresome, lucky though I have been.

1. Optician very very thorough. They have been wonderful to me for many years now and I never cease to sing their praises. Cranial nerve system has taken a wallop meaning gel behind lens of eye has gone 'snowglobe' style with lots of detached flakes, so more new glasses. Should settle over time. Minute vitreous and retina bleeds need watching. Something else jarred means prism lens superfluous. Soft tissue disturbance+skull scan again next week. Mostly, can self-edit when episodes which feel true clearly cannot have happened. Lessening anyway - only 1 this week.

2. Neighbour needed &trailer help to collect big metal pheasant release cage. Done Tuesday. Took little back roads which neighbour liked and wiser for PC Plod avoidance, as panels were wide and long and clattery[metal and mesh]. 120 miles later.... & did the physical load/unload as neighbour is not v. mobile. Done is done. with load of cow parsley gathered en route back for bunnies.

3. Falling asleep on and off at all times of day, part of 1, so reading and listening is all I'm really bothering with atm. Didn't even make Church on Sunday. Set off, but pulled over 10 mins later, absolutely had to - like on/off switch triggered. Woke suddenly maybe 20 mins later without a clue where I was or why for a few seconds.

4. Prayer brekkie at vicarage this morning. Dozen eggs - Vic's chicks laying like mad:-)

5. Bus pass to town soon. More Library book fodder needed.

Susan - you are so right about water. Have been drinking lots, tepid.

mhags - sharing a tunnel of sorts with you, but reading about OH driving is a good leap, isn't it? It will have done a great deal for his 'milestone' sense of recovery, I should think. Steady as she goes during tomorrow's full shift. Slosh about in your new gummies - fashion statement.

judi - the drawing together and writing-up of Diss. is feeling very strong to this reader. Well done son. Remember his homones are flying too. Everything else will fall into place.

pk - caring thoughts to your Dad. You've been pulled in a lot of different directions lately. OH and furries' love are your consistent safe havens. Work is just there to pay bills for now.

1. Sunshine

2. Have survived my first residential trip as a teacher, exhausting but awesome time. Feel really enthused now about Vikings and Saxons 😁

3. It was lovely to be away from the pressure of school, data, triangulation, marking and meetings for 3 days, and to just enjoy learning with and from the children.

4. Having completely forgotten to go to my at course last week, I sloped in, slightly zombified, last night and had a fantastic time. My pendants look lovely, so I have 4 new necklaces, on very delicate chains that won't hurt my stupid neck, and I've made what will hopefully turn out to be two beautiful dishes.

4. Co teacher bought me a bunch of flowers, which I've foolishly left in the sink in my classroom!

5. DD and her cuddles 😀😁😆☺😊

Big gentle hugs ampersand, wrist I could wave a wand and make you all better now xx

Boot in it!

Thirty five years ago, we'll just a tad longer in January, we were told by those who served what it was like, and it was the fortieth anniversary of the few.

Thirty five years later, the few are less.
