Have you ever wondered ?????

THURSDAY  AUGUST 30TH

I was woken up during last night with Awful ~ Awful ~ Awful earache ~ I have never had earache before and never want it again :o( 

It was so bad I asked Lyn to ring the Doctors surgery for me ~ which is unheard of because at all costs I avoid the Doctors surgery ~

Every time I go there to collect prescriptions I read this little verse and it always tickles my sense of humour ~ so thought I would share it with you ~

 

LITTLE PILL

Little pill here in my hand

I wonder how you understand,

Just what to do or where to go,

To stop the ache that hurts me so,

Within your covering lies relief,

You work alone to ease my grief,

You sink in regions there below,

As down my throat you quickly go !

But what I wonder, little pill,

Is how you know right where I'm ill ?

And just how do you really know,

exactly where you have to go ?

Turns out it wasn't earache but a chest infection which the Doctor gave me antibiotics ~ and it feels a lot better already :o)

 

I am away staying with my Sister Joy for the weekend so will be back Monday  ~ Hope you all have a great weekend ~

 

 

Pool Party

 

                    

About midweek last week the weather forecast promised us a Sunny weekend ~ so we thought we would have a pool party on Sunday ~ so we put the pool up and as it takes 48 hours to fill we got on with the job

There would be eleven of us all together so needed to get food in for a BBQ ~ we bought Hamburgers ~ Chicken wings ~ Sausages ~ mushrooms and plenty of salad ~ Ice cream and lots of different pastries ~ and not forgetting crisps and fruit

Saturday arrived and it was a beautiful sunny day ~ we started to get all the food prepared ~ Lyn prepared the salad ~ we had bought salad potatoes which we were going to steam ~ and make into potato salad

Sunday Morning was a bit overcast and I must admit I felt a bit let down but of course we can't control the weather ~ The family arrived and as they did the sun came out ~ the children couldn't wait to get in the pool ~ so all four of them put on their swimming costumes and were in the pool within a few minutes ~ the water was so cold but they didn't seem to notice that ~ they were followed by Tom ~ Lyn Russell Adam and Ella ~ Nin Barney and little Toby were playing in the garden and William the baby was asleep in his car seat ~ Me I preferred to stay in the Garden just enjoying watching them in the pool ~ although I did get splashed trying to take pictures ~

It turned out to be a perfect day and everyone enjoyed theirselves ~

 

As we packed everything away it decided it was going to rain and rain it did but our day had been perfect and even the rain could not spoil it ~  More memories to add to the ones we already have ~

 

 

 

Success :o) :o) :o)

                        

As the weather has been so good we have been out and about in the car ~ we always manage to lose our way but do come across some lovely little places we otherwise may never see

Lyng Fishing Lakes are so calm ~ such a lovely place to just go sit and enjoy the scenery and all the wild life that goes on in there ~

I am going to try and save this in the hope I don't lose it again

I see my last entry has totally disappeared  ~ anyone else having problems ~ just tried to add pictures but upload them it will not ~ will try again later after I have had my cup of tea ~ I feel like that Monday cat ~ after battling with aol :o) ~

       I am thinking good calm thoughts :o)

 

Update on Toby

                        

Toby had to go back to the vet's as he could not walk on his broken leg ~

The Vet was quite concerned and said Toby would have to stay in Overnight as he thought he had an infection in his leg

He even talked about having to amputate his leg ~

So Adam and Ella left him with the vet ~ when they had left the surgery miraculously Toby could walk and trot around the surgery ~

The Vet came to the conclusion that Toby realised he was getting a lot of attention faking not being able to walk ~ he said it was possible he was jealous of the baby ~ and advised that he got lots of attention in future ~ arn't puppies lovely :o)

2 years in JLand

 

                    

Today 2 years ago I started my journal ~ never thought at the time how addictive this was going to be ~ but it is part of my daily life now ~ Although I don't do an entry every day I always like to comment on the journals that I read  daily ~

I just wanted to thank all of you who read and comment and to tell you how much I appreciate you dropping by ~

The weather has been pretty awful here ~ it is dry today and Lyn is in the Garden doing a bit of clearing up ~ after all the wind and rain                   

Lets hope Summer is on it's way I think we could all do with a little bit of sunshine ~ and for those who have too much sunshine I hope you get the rain you so badly need ~

 

 

My Birdbrained feathered friend and other things

                  

First I must tell you about my encounter with a Thrush ~ we have had some very windy days and I noticed that the wind had blown the lid of one of the bird feeders ~ I saw a bluetit go in and help himself to a whole peanut and turned round in the feeder and flew away ~

I thought to myself that if a bigger bird tried to do that it may be in trouble ~ but never thought much more about it ~ until I glanced out of the window and couldn't make out what was in the bird feeder ~ so went outside to have a closer look

When I got there I saw this Thrush head down and trapped ~ I lifted the feeder up and tipped out the peanuts hoping the bird would follow ~ but Oh NO ~ it's claws were trapped amongst the wire mesh ~ I couldn't move the wire so called Lyn ~ she took hold of the feeder and just broke it apart ~ it was soldered  and I don't know where she got the strength to break it open ~ but she did and the bird flew away and didn't seem any the worse for it's experience ~

Toby is a very young puppy and we Baby sat him last night as his owner was admitted into hospital ~ she gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on July 12th but was having problems so they took her back into hospital ~

I'll tell you that little puppy played hard for 5 minutes at a time then slept for 10 minutes ~ and his teeth were like little needles ~ just look at my arm to see the cuts and scratches :o)

To tell the truth we enjoyed having him ~ and his mistress was allowed home late last night so he was picked up and reunited with her ~ Toby has a broken leg you probably can see his cast ~ but belive you me it do'es not stop him from playing ~
