Look for: Left hand side, the Nikkster solar lights on the windowsill, charger sits on the floor gathering light through the doors; Right hand side a NP gift of a shell heart. Also, the cheapo outdoor thermometer (no hook out there yet for it) and a bowl of shells/driftwood etc.

Also: the donated table/chairs.

As you can see - the rest is neat, but empty.

But now you have an idea of the size/layout etc of the garden

Oooh PN, looks lovely! How about some trellis up the side of the shed and grow a clematis up it? Or honeysuckle... Maybe not honeysuckle, the stuff we have in the hedge here is lovely, glorious scent, but have to hack it hard at least once a year or it has a tendency to take over! :eek:

Fab table and chairs!

Feeling quite low. Left arm not working walking with help. Will have an MRI next week.

I'm sorry you're feeling low, but I think this is about par for the course. Hugs. Good that you're able to walk, even if you do need help at the moment. Hopefully your mobility will improve with help from the Physios, as will your arm. But for now it's all pretty scary stuff! :eek: More hugs. :grouphug: I'm sure you know we're all rooting for you, and sending Vibes and hopes that things improve for you as fast as possible or even faster!

Hope the food is OK - nothing more misery making when you're feeling down and ill already than overcooked and/or nasty meals.

Good luck for the MRI. I think they're rather noisy, so you might want to arrange earplugs, though possibly they're provided.

Hugs from sunny Bwlchtocyn.

Non IDEa where that came from

I congratulate myself for being such a positive influence.

Tired and mistyping with one hand or are you having language problems? If its the latter, at least I have broken this lot in for you, eh?

Weird day today so far.

Sitting up in bed (I "nest" on the bench across under the living room windows) having early morning first cuppa tea when heard a repetitive "peep peep peep" from a bird in the hedge, looked up to see the sparrow hawk sitting on top of the bird feeder! :eek: It sat there long enough for OH to take photos, though it remains to be seen how well they've come out. Will post later if they're worth it. Eventually it flew off, going downwards along behind the next door caravan, so not sure if it spotted an unwary small bird along there.

I planned on painting the shed in a beach style. Growing stuff is more effort, more work - and has the potential to make the shed collect spiders and damp.

So it'll be a clean and clear beach hut style ... when done.

So good to hear from you Spirit xx. Dad was low in the early days after his stroke, partly from the shock of it happening and partly because of the impact on his body.

Don't worry about ranting/wanting to talk about it on here, we are here to listen and support you.

Much love xx

day 1 Weds
OH working. Sunny with showers, visited a bookshop. Got bitten on the hand by by a cocker spaniel I patted. The owner was mortified, it was aged two and "friendly". Hand gets patched up but won't clot and I find my way to a Minor Injuries Unit and get it treated & dressed. Dinner with OH at a great seafood restaurant.

day 5
home now. All well. DD hit a deer last night about 100 yds up the hill. She's OK and car paint scratched but her judgement from the hair and blood is that the deer ran off to die:(. She was also nursing an injured bird and that died overnight too. Hand still weeping but I have antibugs so will see what it is doing in the morning.

My bolding above.

Spirit, do the hospital know about this dog bite and clotting probs? I think that they ought to.

Hugs from the usual unpronounceable place!

Went to the Proms last night. Andrew Marr was in the Box next to us (yeah posh alert) He seemed to be getting through large quantities of red wine which, I assume, was for medicinal reasons!:D

You poor old thing. It's crappy being sick. Wishing you a speedy and successful recovery.

I agree with those who say you might mention other recent maladies to the docs.

My advice, which I wholly failed to take, is to be selfish. Lie down in front of the TV and take absolute control of what's on, even while sleeping. Have food brought to you as and when. You're not well but are on the way to Wellsville. Speed yourself along the line.
