Well, I’ve only just a few hours left of May so I’d better squeeze this one in! I didn’t have to stroll very far until I saw these green trees on the city wall at the beginning of the month. I then saw these very pretty leaves in the Dane John: When I walked past [...]
Firstly, thank you so much to everyone who has been so supportive and left such lovely comments about Lucy over what has been some very difficult days for us. You are all wonderfull. Thank you and big hugs right back at you. MrsSJT came in this morning with the most wonderful presents. First of all, [...]
I’ve been thinking about my mother a lot especially since Lucy was put to sleep on Saturday. The last couple of days has been quite emotional and I woke during the night missing Lucy so much. I think deep down I was missing Mum so much too. I wasn’t prepared for how hard it would [...]
At 10am this morning, pao and I took Lucy and had her put to sleep. She was pretty ill when I came home last night and as we watched her obvious distress, we knew she would be going to the vets today. She was very old and the vet said that she would have had [...]
There is a lady who I know who really reminds me of my mum. She is about the right height, extremely similar racial profile, similar manner. I saw her today for the second time in two days and all I could think about was how like my mum she was. So I’m just feeling a [...]
It is already 8.46pm in the evening and I don’t know where the time between getting home shattered and now has gone. It certainly has been one of those weeks. Yesterday things blew up and went spectacularly wrong – don’t you just love IT? Today any plans I had have all been scuppered including a [...]
The last couple of days have been a bit of a blur. Literally. On Monday, I had to go home at 4pm as I was just feeling so dizzy the world was spinning. I’ve been doing some very long hours recently and I admit that I probably hadn’t had a lot to eat last week. [...]
Well the last couple of days have been a frenzy of tidying, shopping, tidying, cleaning, chatting, tidying, cleaning, chatting, laughing, cleaning, cleaning, cleaning, cooking and trying not to fall asleep whilst talking to pao’s grandmother. Zzzz. This frenzy is entirely self-made. I invited pao’s grandmother over to have lunch with us today and Matt to [...]
I blame Chris as I not only went and signed up for the Trek Along with Me and then *had* to go searching for some Trekking XXL which could arrive in time for the June 1st start date. Luckily I found a German website which looked promising but had to order three balls as the [...]
Those cats get everywhere – even into a shepherd’s pie! I wasn’t tagged by pao but he kind of hinted on his blog that he’d like to see my answers so here they are! 1) what time did you get up this morning? The alarm went at 5.45, I got out of bed at 6.15. [...]
