Ok thanks that’s useful to know. In the past I’ve had a few but they’ve never lasted long.

Oh. Ok. Is that a thing ? No this was much shorter. It went on too long because I was driving and unable to deal with it for a few minutes. Then fine.

So far just a one off :) I mean I’ve had them before but it’s been ages …

The cat is lovely :)

The things of my childhood on a farm in the middle of nowhere.

It was the sudden shock and driving at the same time ! Mess all over.

Yes. It stopped pretty quickly. Looked a lot worse than it was….

I’ve never heard anyone say it though in real life.

Agreed. Horrid word.

Huge Sunday dinner in delightful company. The calm before the storm. Driving home a sudden mega nosebleed - had to pull over but not before I was drenched in red sticky stuff and not a tissue in sight.

I am pictured behind a large Sunday roast

Brilliant blue skies here …

I should also be debobbling.

We took them out on the bikes- in frequent use with kids incidents in the lakes. And mine on one memorable occasion.

Do you think old t lights count ? It’s not easy to get candles these days.

Oddly enough I got a big first aid kit for the car when the Bebe arrived.

I seem to remember asking others if they were prepping. I wasn’t at that time. But others were (some) and it spurred me on to get some baked beans etc . I’ve just ordered some bottled water…. I’ve never used bottled water so don’t have supplies like some people do.

I had it because I was collecting something.

I didn’t. I had answered your question first obvs.

He’s perhaps taking a pause.

I’ve heard people mention seeing him. I’m not there often.

Some tissues. A half bar of dark chocolate and a jar of honey for Tiny Newman

The cat is popular. But there are some who don’t agree that the cat should be allowed in the hospital vicinity ….i hope it doesn’t come to a skeleton cat appearing.

When I used to go to conferences in America everyone used to knit all the time throughout the conference. Fascinating. I only knit at home. I don’t know why really.

Flu jab yesterday at the hospital. I was shocked to see not the usual hospital cat but a skeleton sitting in the chair in the waiting area at the pharmacy. I wasn’t amused.

.. and walk bang into the neighbour who doesn’t communicate - with anyone. I delighted to see a wry flicker of amusement. Side note. We are not lighting the stove. The sun is shining like it’s June.

Wild here , wind and pouring. Worth getting up though - sun broke through as we came back into the cottage. I tell myself I have to keep up a cheery demeanour for Tiny Ted when the weather casts her down so I’m shrieking to her - in my arms- we are lighting the stove and going to be snug as bugs

Wild here too and raining v heavily.

I had a very early start but am still listening to the radio and we haven’t made it to the garden yet. TT says no. Her head is buried under a fleece. Suits me. It’s going to be a 9 30.

Later Tricia took up the story herself. As a CF patient her adoptive family had not expected her to survive into adulthood.

000

The strangest of days. And I spent two hours or so just now watching the online celebration of life for Tricia Kirschner Lawrenson whose incredible life I’ve followed and felt part of for almost twenty years when her partner Nathan started a blog documenting Tricia’s wait for a transplant.

They see which is cheapest and just click on it and check it all sounds ok. Next time round when the quote comes through unless the price has dropped - as they have been- it’s worth ringing to ask for a cheaper deal with the same company if you’ve been happy with them. They often say yes ..

000

It’s v stressful the first time but it will all be much easier next time. I make a list of what’s important eg how much excess id be prepared to pay if I had an accident. Do I get a car to use if mine is being fixed after an accident. Do they include breakdown services in the charge. Etc. ..

Couldn’t resist looking up papi poo and found the Havapoo also. Ha. No thanks.

Omg. Poodles are so bright. The combination would be lethal. Tiny Ted is the brightest dog I have known. Any brighter she would be so much sharper than me.

Just as well we didn’t pursue it. Tiny Ted refused point blank to exit the house , or descend from the sofa at that stage really. Several of us tried and she slipped her lead and legged it home …. #monkeyTed

I think I found a possible dog walker for Tjny Ted when the elder was incapacitated. But she threw a wobbler. I definitely remember finding something out ?? #cinnamon

Pop a card on the noticeboard in your post office or vets. You’ll soon have a dog or two to walk.
