1) Nice walk across the common and along the footpaths and lanes with He Who Knows this afternoon.

2) Nestled in the middle of the wood under a tree beside the path was a tiny pink cyclamen in bloom, so pretty.

3) Washing dried outside in the garden this morning.

4) Skype with DD2 this afternoon and text from DD1 this morning saying the school party had arrived safely in Berlin, she's running a WW2 GCSE trip with 40 odd pupils.

5) Kids in the park and on the common, half term here and lovely to see them using the open spaces and having fun in the fresh air.

Another bag packed.

No pleasures as away from BoPsie.

Is it really now thirty one years since before the Buerke! Dropping food parcels in Ethiopia. Whilst being shot at. Now people on the ground who needed it could have it dropped on them, because? Yet those fit enough charged them for the said. Nice people. Oh, and being shot at as well. Cyprus was ok, of you avoided the locals! MSF were there, Poxfam would wait until suffering was more dire.

Today, the emporiums are full of food, that is wasted on an evil event, just like the parcels dropped away from the needy those years ago. It is not a BoP thing, to carve up an item of food, or waste land growing it, when people in the world cannot eat. Please think this week, and avoid the evil displayed in the emporiums, please remove signs, it is not a celebration. Obstruct the evil buyers when you see them. If you have the chance, remove evil products from their trolley.

It only takes one bad thing, and you to turn a blind evil, for evil to spread.

Don't stand by and do evil.

Good morning from Tuesday and a big lump of a Labrador with pointy elbows on my knee too!

We got home last night which was unexpected but better than him having to stay in hospital .

We had been told to be be in for 7am which meant being up at 4.45am and travelling in to city ....clerked in very quickly, seen by nurse very quickly who said oh you will be 4th on the list , that may mean a little bit of a wait but you can relax on our comfy chairs ( they were) .....what she didn't tell us was that we would be relaxing for another 6.5 hours whilst we waited.

I'd thought he would be taken relatively quickly, I'd go for a wander in city and come back but that wasn't the case anyway, we got to stay together and may both have had little snoozettes at different times.

I'm glad I'd taken a new library book in with me and that was what I did for most of the day and finished it. He went through 'the doors' at just before 2pm.....give us an hour and a half they said and come back up......or maybe that would be 3 hours! anyway, he appeared bright enough when I went though was managing some jelly!

Took a taxi home and surprised the kids when he came home as we had all been expecting an overnight stay. So that means I don't have to trek back up to hospital today which is good and means he's nit had to stay in a noisy ward overnight which is better.

Bit of a restless, pained night with me doing my best Florence Nightengale impersonation at 3 am

So now, he recovers, we wait for biopsy results which was just one of the things they did yesterday, and I have another 3 days off.

Thank you for good wishes , it looks like a beautiful morning and washing machine is already on.we have started to reintroduce gentle dog walks for Haggis and I will be calling my friend from home shortly....this time difference of 11 hours is so much better for me.

Well done, Mhags and Mr MHags. glad it was done in a day.


Here are my pleasures for today (Monday).


1) Not a bad sleep, dreamed I was on the SS Great Britain!


2) Went to local countryside centre to meet my school friend and her children.


3) Spent THREE HOURS in the building society getting a new mortgage for the house. :-/ slowed down rather by having to get a new parking ticket in the middle and for a fire alarm!


4) The legal team phoned me at 8pm and I've just spent 2 hours printing out and trying to make head or tail of the legal signing bits.


5) House has to be re-valued so gave the downstairs a good clean!


6) Lots of phone calls from smaller son and 1 from bigger son.


7) The Lords voting (in part) against a cut in tax credits...


and 8) (nearly forgot!) Had an email from the youth hostel where we'll be staying later this week to ask if we want to forego their normal evening meal and take part in the medieval banquet instead! Sons say yes :-D

Brother's cider apples sold last week (4 tonnes). Not sure if they went to Bulmers. Hobsons (of beer fame) also do cider now.
