  • Buzzy creatures are still present. 

    I am going to work up the back of the garden today and hope a local beekeeper can rescue them. By magic. 

    I don't seem to be moving from the sofa as yet.... hmmm. 
    Nevertheless she persisted.
  • Still haven't moved. 

    I am pretty miserable to be honest. 

    Yesterday was so hard and then finding the bees. I still need to hoover. have so much to do, when is wrong with me!! Oh Here comes Mum. That will fun. Sorry that is mean. Now I have to move. 
    Nevertheless she persisted.
  • It was fun. She reminded me about the bath mat AND my washing. thanks Mum. Cos I would forget to do my washing on the only day I can....oh do my washing. A row to start the day! 

    I knew this would happen. Her confusion has lifted considerably and this means we are back to the "helpful" phase of the situation. Well enough to notice everything that is wrong, but not well enough to help, just tell me what needs doing. 

    This means the next few weeks are going to be really difficult as hopefully she gets better. She is now saying she can't breathe and has a headache. Oh and it is hot. 

    And even tho the back door is open one of the dogs has pee'd in the conservatory. 


    Nevertheless she persisted.
  • Ah Buffy. I think you have the patience of a saint to still be in the house. I would have had to take a walk to calm down by now. 

    I’m so sorry things are so tough. X

  • I can't am still in my Pjs. I never did the hoovering. 

    I need to clean the bathroom and get dressed. Then I will go out in the garden. It will be the last decent day in the garden for a week or more. 

    I must remember that she is in a lot of pain and obviously that effects her mood a lot.

  • That does affect her mood. It’s just unfortunate that you are getting the brunt of it and that will have an impact on you.

  • Went and bought compost, then came home and washed the car. Am shattered and need to get changed and take car to the mechanic. 

    Am so tired! and my arms are shaking from the exercise.. 


    Nevertheless she persisted.
  • And am back. 

    Met a woman on the way home crying so I walked with her for a bit, to see her home, possibly made a new friend, she had split from her partner, and was so upset.  It was her birthday. 
    Did make me realise how little I had lived tho. 
    But it was good to speak to someone and be of use. 

    House is now 25 degrees. Feel awful! but will put the dinner on and see to the animals. 

    There are foxes everywhere cos of the building work going on. UGH. They cannot get to the rabbits but they can worry them. And so I worry. 
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    I’m glad you got to speak to the upset woman, hope you’ve made a difference to her day. Don’t your dogs put the foxes off? We used to get a lot of foxes in our garden before we got a dog, not seen any since, must be the scent. I still see them around but they don’t come in our garden. Hope they don’t bother the rabbits 🤞
