Hello.My day off started with a vomiting dog...seven vomits. Across rugs, curtains and floors. And a good morning to you too doggy! He’s had some chicken and rice since and we’ve just been out a short walk. He’s had lots of cuddles and snuggles and seems much better.
DD2 a bit better today but still poorly. So we have also had cuddles and snuggles.In between all the cuddles and snuggles and washing of rugs and floors I finished cleaning the patio.Then washed the outside of patio doors as they were all splattered.Then cleaned the dog nose prints off the inside of windows!Just finished watching Bohemian Rhapsody which was fabulous. Not often I have the concentration to sit for 2 hours and watch something but I did. OH and I saw Queen in Melbourne about 6 years ago and they were fantastic. I didn’t get to see Live Aid as I’d just arrived in Germany and the host family wouldn’t let us watch it.It’s been a dry day here so a washing out and mostly dried. It’s been overcast and only about 7o but dry! Nice sunset as we were just out walking . Loving the evening birdsong. The blackbirds are singing.15 -

Pleasures for today (Sunday)
1) A cooked breakfast.
2) Hens OK.
3) Took bigger son back to his apprenticeship. I was given a tour of the grounds and a cup of tea!
4) Stopped at Waitrose on the way home (as there is a branch in the town nearest to his work, but no branch local to me).
5) Spent a jolly afternoon mending the bathroom extractor fan as I had got fed up of not being able to turn the light on and putting a candle in each night! Had to dismantle the whole thing and even pull out the ducting to outside to clear it!
6) Made Spanish chicken for the freezer.
7) My school friend phoned.
8) Going to watch Pottery Throwdown now.12 -
1. More time spent in the greenhouse. More seeds sown.
2. Picked some lettuce leaves to have with lunch.
3. Seeing our friendly robin.
4. DH spent time digging out 3 tree stumps - not finished but nearly there.
5. Stained a wooden window sill. It looks better and pleased it's been done. I had been meaning to do it for a while.14 -
Chocs look tasty BOP, glad you celebrated your anniversary 😊
For the weekend:
Better sleep Friday & Saturday but not last night.
Made chicken casserole 🥘 for 2 nights, roast potatoes one night, mash the second, very good 😋
Walk in the local park with OH, spring blossom but very chilly.
Warmed up with a bacon roll and a cuppa!
Click and collect all there and no substitutes, that must be a first!
Have a good Monday all 😘14 -
For yesterday,
Very misty first thing but had rolled away by mid morning and we had more sunshine.
Capt S came over to the yard with me and it was good to see him striding out to the paddocks, steroids are really helping.
Princess Pony was delighted to see her ‘Dad’ and gave him lots of attention, he isn’t an especially horsey person and can be nervous but she flirted outrageously, batting her eyelashes and blowing kisses onto his face, and he was like putty in her hooves.
Tasty lunch then we made the most of the sunshine by taking small dog for a walk.
Slightly warmed Tiffin with a spoon of clotted cream, I know, I know but as Mhags says, birthdays are supposed to stretch over several days ☺️13 -

Good morning all. My pleasures for yesterday are are a bit dodgy but anyway....
Finished cleaning my house even though I felt a bit rough.Being able to phone a friend when I couldn’t cope with the pain any more.Friend took me to hospital while her brother (best friend) sat with the HT for a bit.The NHS and painkillers. Also my cousin being on duty in A&E and checking on me . Cousin is back on duty today so is bringing me some bits from home. No visitors allowed but she doesn’t count because she works here.Friend went and collected HT’s partner so the HT wasn’t on his own. Partner is a year older. I’ve been kept in so that medics can look for whatever is causing the problem.Told you they were a bit dodgy. I very much appreciate all the help that I’ve had in the last 18 hours though. Take care all of you 😊14 -
Goodness, Cranky - hope they get to the bottom of it and you're able to get back home.
Thinking of you xI wanna be in the room where it happens13
