Swim feeders - do hope itās not too long before you are back at home having āproperā rest a recovery.
Heading out to do a little training but I do have a meeting this afternoon (couldnāt get it in before the end of term). Once that has finished my holidays officially start.
I have on recommendation from my students to watch Stranger Things and The Boys. I may have a look but I intend to spend quality time with John Connolly to finish The Nameless Ones in the Charlie Parker series and then purchase The Furies - my treat for this year.
Should be cooler here today. We have been promised some rain and thereās a 22% chance of thunder.
I will be in the Craft Room - shortening a necklace for a friend and playing with my new dies - they are designed to make a table decoration - but - while I was working with them yesterday I thought of something else they might do - not sure if it will work but will have a go!
We had an outbreak of black helicopters here earlier on - not sure what that was all about.
On my third coffee.
I bought a French Press a couple of days ago from Amazon.
Iāve used the glass ones way back when but this oneās double walled steel , a big improvement!
Housework to do, a couple of emails to send and itāll be time for a spot of blackberry picking, that crumble doesnāt make itself
Been doing some washing, and dead-heading lots of plants.
Iāve got a poorly doggy here, so the vet has booked her in this afternoon.
She is really worrying me now, sheās so withdrawn and lethargic, and I canāt get her to touch any food.
Thank you for your good wishes Jazzi, Susie, Morti and Tabs. And Yes Tabby, it is Gertie again, with her poorly tummy.
Wonāt go into it too much on the Good Morning thread, but she keeps getting stomach pains, itās been going on and off for months now. Gertie canāt handle even the slightest bit of pain, and immediately takes to her bed and calls her servant to attend!
Ideally, she would like to be held and cuddled all day long, until she feels better. Cuddles always put her little world right.
I have never in my life had a drama queen like her, but because she is like that, it makes it very difficult to judge just how much genuine pain she really is in.
Sheās had a camera down her throat a while back, because they suspected stomach ulcers at one point, but couldnāt see anything much wrong, just a little inflammation.
She was refusing all food today though, and was also passing blood from both ends, so she wasnāt faking it htis time, and that is what worried me today.
After 3 injections and a special tablet, and loads of meds to bring home plus a return visit on Wednesday, and a lab test sample to pay for, sheād better pull her finger out and get better sharpish, else Iāve told her Iām taking her to the Charity Shop.
well what a day today has been,not. First did the daily walk then got a phone call from The DRās wanting me to go in later on this week with results of blood test, seems cholesterol bit high but results could have been worse I suppose. Just realised we donāt have a hard copy of car insurance which i like to keep in the car but the car is insured anyway with automatic renewal. Heard a cousin of mine had a funeral my Sister and I knew nothing about until a couple of days ago. Another cousin David has gone blind in one eye (only 6 month between our ages) and Sheila another cousin has gone blind as well. This makes me think glaucoma is in the family on my mothers side, thank goodness it was picked up at my opticians and dealt with at the hospital with a āstentā inserted behind one eye and drops for the other.
The camera insurance issue now resolved I hope but still unhappy with a bulk valuation not individual items listed, but what can one do?
Apart from all that nothing much happed today
Jazzi it makes no difference really it is on DVLA and insurance companies anyway. It is just a hangover from when we had to produce if stopped by the police. May be better just to keep it at home with mot cert. Just another thing not to do is put you home on the car sat nav
My uncle once kept everything in his car. It was stolen and put up for sale on a local garage forecourt. Because the āthiefā had every bit of paperwork, my uncle didnāt have a leg to stand on to get it back. Donāt think he made that mistake again.
Thatās exactly what I thought too, Jazzi. I would never leave private paperwork in the car.
Years ago the police asked for my insurance, and I told them I donāt carry about with me, and they give you 7 days to produce it at the station. Much safer that way.
