Lyn has an appointment to see the consultant in December ~ and hopefully won't have to wait too long after that ~ We can only wait and hope
At least she isn't in constant pain and has some pethidine the Doctor gave her just in case she needs them
I cannot resist the Cocolate Factory and have lots of goodies if anyone calls this Halloween~ last year we only had one little visitor and he went away laden with goodies
Isn't "Pudding Pie Alley" a lovely name for a little tucked away passageway ~
Lyn went to Cromer Hospital on Monday and had her scan ~ they found she has Gall Stones ~ the consultant told her they will have to be removed ~
She had been home for a couple of hours and her Doctor telephoned saying the Hospital had contacted him and he would be making arrangements for her to go into hospital ~ how and when that will be is anyones guess ~ I hope it won't be too long but you can never tell ~
I am trying to catch up ~ but time is going faster than I can run ~ I have been very remiss with my blog entries but hope to be able to get back in the swing of it soon ~
My week spent with my Sister Joy was just great ~ it was lovely being able to spend time together ~
I looked after her cats as well of which she has four ~ feeding time was just great they each have a different coloured feeding bowl and they know which one is their own ~ there is Lucky ~ Dennis ~ Snuggles and Bubbles ~ Bubbles had a stroke a while back and is a bit vacant at times but he still knows which feeding bowl is his ~ someone told me cats don't see colour ~ but I have my doubts about that !!!!!
The picture of the little black kitten is an ornament Tim brought back for me from Italy it is made of fur and is so realistic I even gave him a name "Midnight" and he has these little bright shiny green eyes :o) ~ they said they saw him and he reminded them of Me :o)
Just a short entry to say I am back home ~ had a wonderful week with my Sister ~ have a bit of a crisis here at the moment as Lyn has been diagnosed with Kidney Stones and is in a great deal of pain ~ waiting to hear from her Doctor as to the next move re: Admittance to hospital ~ so if I don't make an entry for a few days please forgive me ~ will be back as and when I can
Althea aka Ally
Can you see that little spider ~ he was spinning a web between my Horse ornament and my Halogen lamp ~ he was tiny so I left him to it ~
The main reason for doing an entry today is that I shall be away all of next week ~ am going to spend the week with my Sister Joy as my Niece and Nephew are going abroad on holiday and Joy dosn't like being on her own in such a big house ~
I may be able to come on line as they have three computers in the house so I can't imagine not using one of them :o)
Anyway I shall take my leave for now and if I don't see you before I shall be back October 6th ~ not forgetting I have an appointment with my Dentist on Monday 8th October (Just a checkup) :o(
Looks like today will be the last one this year for a swim in the pool ~ It is a nice sunny day with just a slight breeze ~ the sky is blue with not a cloud in sight ~
The Children will be here soon and they all want a swim as will the adults (Not me though :o)
Have you noticed how quickly the nights are pulling in ~ it is nearly dark here at 7.30pm in the evening ~ It's the time of the year I love ~ nice cosy wood fire ~ a good book to read ~ time to get the sewing machine out ~ and get back to the hobbies I don't have time to do in the Spring or Summer ~
My earache is better and I would say I am fighting fit
I just hope all of my friends in JLand who have health problems soon get back to good health ~
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 ~
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 ~
