By gosh it's nice to be back indoors! I've just walked Cookie round the village and down to and along the river and my goodness there's a vicious little bitter wind blowing out there today. Feeling appreciably better today but poor old He Who Knows is having the same sort of day I did on Tuesday with his cold, very 'nosy' and coughy poor boy. I hope he can shift it in a day or so and be fit to drive us to Zebras party on Sunday, I'm down for making all the sandwiches and putting all the food out while they go on a Bear Hunt in the woods and then I'll be on Tea and Coffee making duties for parents , so looking forward to it as I haven't been to a toddler party since mine were little all those years ago.0

Another one here who is glad to be home and in the warm, the girls just had a very quick last walk before we settle down for the night.
Spent a long time at the bungalow today, packed up a great deal to go to CS's but also brought home everything that I personally would like to keep. This includes said china and glassware but also several pieces of DM's table linen. There was some hand stitched by her tray cloths and napkins, plus a couple of beautiful tablecloths which all be will treasured but most importantly used in our home.
Have to admit it is heartbreaking going through all her things and to a certain extent I have to try and distance myself just to get through it, but my barriers broke down when I found all of my Mum and Dad's love letters to each other, all tied up with ribbon in a box. It's something that wouldnt happen in these days of texts and emails but oh how romantic. I will treasure them always but will never read them, to my way of thinking they were a young couple, wildly in love and whatever they wrote to each other was private.
Have a good evening everyone, stay warm and safe x0 -
I'm home!
Not long in and feel on top of the world to be somewhere near me again. I needed IV antibiotics because I have been treated for atypical p (as we're both the last ones) but this one was just an ordinary p that wouldn't have happened if I wasn't refused the pnemonia jab because of my age. So annoying but the consultant has wrote it in my GP letter.
I've had more tests and more equipment. They can't find anything out of the ordinary. The fluid round my heart is because of the pnemonia. I've had echo cardiogram and ecgs till the cows come home. It's likely that the first one was picked up in Scotland in the summer and the second one was a recurring because it never really went away fully. This third one was bad luck because I'm suceptible now but quite happy that it should never have happened in the first place had I had the jab.
I'll go with that. Again they've put me through it. I can't blame them for not trying.
I am going to be extremely careful so don't worry... Nee point being wonderwoman if I cannat breathe is there?! I've been sat around folks that share my dialect and it's been fab so I shared abit.
Bacon sandwich calling (my children are at MILs who is taking them to school tomorrow) bath and bed. I didn't get one ounce of sleep last night. Thank you for the good wishes. Night x0 -
That my treasure is why your darling mum didn't dispose of those letters, it's a piece of their happiness tied up with love and ribbons that were left to comfort you when time took your parents from you. You'll be able to sit and hold those letters and be as close to your parents as if they were sitting beside you, and perhaps they will be? xxx.0

Way to go FUDS, welcome back! Just you make sure you DO take care of yourself or we'll collectively come up there and sit on you.....How cruel is that? but only because we care. Mind I'll have to go and liberate Monna from the Isle of Wight first and detour via scotlandshire to collect Mar and via East Anglia to get Lainey and the midlands for Candlelight.....could take a while I'll bet Boudiccea didn't have this much trouble getting her fighting girls together did she? Mind the thought of us in chariots descending on Tup North is something to be savoured!!!!!0

Only if you can contrive a large helmet for it and mount a large pair of cow horns on the radiator (instead of the wheel weapons) you think I can't see it??? Oh yes I can!!!0
