Not an empty nester, but a bird launcher, who loves long walks, K-drama and reading. I never say no to coffee and cake. A slightly mad Croat 🇭🇷. But can be nice too. A witch. I detest war- been there, got the T-shirt. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

No, he looked very young (in his 20s) and very sweet. I’m not sure what my brain was doing to me with that nightmare, tbh 😳

Morning. Lots of chores today, and BT engineers coming down to finalise the installation of super fast broadband. Better get on with it, they can be here any time between 8am and 1pm. Hope everyone has a good day 🧡

We visited a few years ago, and yes, really lovely gardens. We were lucky to be able to visit the house too, and very much enjoyed it.

The GP isn’t sure, we are waiting on skin scrapes (I know, sounds delightful ☹️) results, but in the meantime they are treating him with antibiotics, just in case.

Tbh, that creates more anxiety as that means people in her space. She might still need to do that if her dealing with the situation proves to be insufficient. But it will cause absolutely huge anxiety, and it’s not what she needs right now.

There was a bite mark (red ring) on his hand, but he started to develop hives whilst we were in Croatia, where he spent days cutting laurels in our garden. We thought the hives were a reaction to laurel sap. So until skin results come back, we won’t know.

Dijana (Didi) 🇭🇷 🇺🇦 🇬🇧 @didi-dee.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
She was in bits. Everything had to be hoovered (she managed to break the hoover too, but sellotaped it so could still use it) then the bed steamed, all the bedding washed and tumble dried (luckily she has washer/drier in her flat), and then treatment spray applied. She’s exhausted 😩

He’s on antibiotics as a precaution, not been confirmed yet, so 🤞 it might not be, but that’s what they are treating him for. Waiting on skin scrapes results, to know for sure. We think it’s most probably not, but grateful for the GP’s early intervention.

Morning. Run of bad luck continues: daughter spent the last two days, since returning to uni, dealing with carpet beetles in her flat 🤦‍♀️. She has contamination OCD (developed as a result of being immunocompromised), so this is her worst nightmare. Hubby still on antibiotics for Lyme’s. Send 🙏

Glad to hear he’s doing well 🙏. I hope antibiotics take care of Lyme’s symptoms; hubby is on his third week of the same (as a precaution), as we are still waiting for the skin scrapes results so they haven’t confirmed it’s Lyme’s. It’s a lot for your son to deal with, not easy at any age 😔

Morning. Up early as taking daughter back to uni today (😢). I hope the gods of travel are kind to us 🙏. Didn’t get to watch Traitors last night, but managed to see a spoiler, so already know who the traitors are 🤦‍♀️. HAGD everyone 🧡.

Perhaps it is for the best that you have the course to focus on; without it your mind would, perhaps, be filled with more sadness, more pondering on loss, both personal and professional (although allowing grief space it needs is important). When I closed my private practice I felt the same 😢

There has been a lot of loss/difficult times for you recently, I’m not surprised that in the quiet of the night it can be difficult to find peace 😔. 🙏things start improve soon for you.

Most certainly 🙏. They have suggested a few things in terms of managing the symptoms, which is going to make a difference.

Interestingly, hers is also connected/caused by a connective tissue disorder (Ehler-Danlos); it’s not ‘true’ POTS, but there are ‘features of’. Enough, I guess, to at least get some guidance on how to manage it, which is what she hoped to gain from this.

The specialist was very open about that; he kept saying that because her results are borderline, they “just simply don’t have a name for her cluster of symptoms”, but at least there are things she can do to alleviate those, which is helpful.

Morning. Being in London yesterday was actually nice; we walked past freshers’ events at three unies. I finally got to see where RADA is. Daughter got a half baked diagnosis(as her symptoms aren’t a classic case), but at least has some idea now how to treat it. Trains were so busy 😩. HAGD all 🧡.

He is also a very loved child, and as long that’s the basis from which he started in life, and hopefully once everything else catches up, he will be ok 🙏❤️
