Welcome and Dont Kiss the Dogs Goodnight lol

 Well, I was very surprised today to see how many views my blog had in the last 7 days. I've had readers from 5 continents, Europe, North America, South America, Africa and Asia. Altogether from 14 different countries! I really didn't think this blog was that interesting but it's lovely to find people all over the world are enjoying reading it. Thank you all for your interest and please feel free to leave a comment if you want. I can't see exactly where or who you are just what country you are from.

I had a very bad night the other night as I woke at 4.30am coughing continually. I decided to get up at 5am (as it wasn't stopping) so I took my inhaler and a 2nd allergy pill, which stopped the cough after an hour or so. Then I remembered what was causing it - I kissed both dogs 🐕 on the head goodnight. Stupid thing to do as I'm now allergic to dogs which is usually controlled well by taking one allergy tablet a day. It took me ages getting back to sleep afterwards so I ended up having an hours nap later in the afternoon. 

Daughter, son and granddaughter have all gone out for the afternoon today and OH is at a meeting for the U3A. For those who don't know the U3A is a club for retired people of any age. It has various groups who meet up for visiting gardens, theatre, board games, badminton, discussion about books, adventurer trips eg canoeing, quad bikes, archery etc, infact anything members want to do and someone is willing to convene. Anyway, I  took advantage of being all alone to have a nice long relaxing foam bath for an hour.

Weather here in South Devon is quite chilly today, 19C so it's back to socks and shoes and a warm cardigan for me. OH even wore a coat this morning when he took the dogs out to the fields. In South Gloucestershire, where our family all live, it's 24C - 26C which is about 100miles away due North from here. Actually, I think I'm more of an Autumn and Winter person really as I don't get on well in the hot weather.

Bye for now All the best

Recovering.....

 Have been quite ill this week which was unfortunate as we had both sons staying here. It started with bad stomach pain last weekend so I rang the GP Monday morning. 3 hours later the Dr saw me did blood tests etc and sent me home with antibiotics. Late afternoon he rang again and sent me to hospital! I was so shocked but apparently I needed IV medication. Had 5 ECGs maybe 6 I lost count, probably due to the shock of being sent to hospital lol Weight, more blood, urine tests, and what I think was a dementa test lol. Do you know where you are, what year is it, date of birth, say the months of the year backwards starting with December!!!!!!!! Pleased to say I passed. Off for a chest x-ray, hooked up on a drip all in one hour of arrival. Husband said it's restored his faith in the NHS. It is definately nothing like you see on the news condemming the poor service to patients. Saw 2 consultants, several doctors, nurses and HCAs always there for you, offering drinks, pain relief, checkin...

Babysitting and Dr Who's kitchen!

 Travelled back to our hometown yesterday and called in to see our eldest son. He's renovating his dining room and it's starting to look very good. Son always strips everything back when decorating, ie new patio doors, walls plastered, new flooring, new skirting board etc. He's definitely a perfectionist. We met DGD on the way to daughter's home riding her bike home from school. DD and her colleagues all meet up in a local pub with their children every Friday, so we spent an hour there before going to DDs home. Its really nice that they are all friends as well as colleagues. Today, Saturday, OH put up a shelf in DGDs bedroom, and then we spent the day visiting relatives. Managed to catch 2 nieces, 2 sisters, sister's boyfriend, and our Brother-in-law. Haven't seen him for months, as he's been staying on and off with his mum and sister since my sister died last year. We took DGD around with us as we're looking after her while DD is away for the weekend. I...

That's Christmas Done!

 It was a bit chaotic here at Christmas as son, daughter and granddaughter all arrived. I did go to the pub Xmas Eve which was nice. They had a guitarist singing some old song like 'My old man's a dustman' which took me back to when I used to take my mum out Xmas Eve. She used to love the Salvation army band playing in the streets. Now I'm not religious at all but have every respect for the Salvation Army as they have an excellent brass band. They always turned up at our home with presents and food for mum and my siblings when I was young.  Also, they were the only people to get my late brother off of drugs permanently, and several other agencies had tried for years, including all the drug workers from various agencies, including social services They also found him accommodation as he was homeless at the time.                  The Demon cars              My kitchen worktop! Back to Xmas, and we hav...
