Well had a visit from Flash Harry and Kyra,Grandson and G.Daughter in law.
They have all been unwell, bad coughs etc and F.H. Was quite tired ,Kyra not so much.
She groomed her little horse ,and then git fed up so went for the crayons ,felt tips,chalks etc I always have in .
Liked her nightie with “ My Grandma loves me” on the front.
Could not find a beastie in the garden for F,H to inspect with his magnifying glass and jeweller’s spy .
He was really off colour .
Videos of baby Lily,really laughing now, it seems early but proper laughter.
Grand daughter send them regularly .
Well all quiet now,can’t believe it is almost another year.
Christmas cards about half I usually get,at my age some friends will have sadly passed away and postage costs will have deterred others.
I had fun yesterday evening looking at stair lifts and mobility scooters .
After my latest escapade — rushed to hospital Christmas Day with very rapid heart beat -assessed for ability to use stairs etc - so a lift is the best way now.I think most pavements now have slopes not a drop so that is easier ,I must find a way to have shelter for the scooter, have a brick shed ( but don’t think it is big enough )right near the kitchen door ,will need a ramp to mount the step out of the garden to the lane .
I had a moped in Belgium,we lived out in the sticks,some shops not far away but a huge supermarket ten minutes by moped.I could also visit friends atwenty minute ride away ,with my little girl in a seat with leg guards,we whizzed through the lovely lanes .
Wouldn’t even think of that now.
Son down at head office ,not sure if he will cross country to see his sister,we were to go although I was reluctant for a few reasons and it is a good job we didn’t .
As I was being put in the ambulance on Christmas Day a past pupil was going down to the cemetery ,her Mum and Dad’s grave,she shouted across”What some people will do to get out of making Christmas Dinner !”
I was taken to Wythenshaw Hospital.
Well back home and more medicines to take.
A telephone chat with the Consultant at Fairfield this week,might be about the wrong prescription I was given in September when last in hospital “ not if there has been a recent heart attack “—- Isosorbide Mononitrate .”
I was given it the same day!
I don’t really want to slam the NHS but am being asked to make a formal complaint as obviously it could well be detrimental to me and maybe very dangerous to others .It seems it is the prescriber who needs to be checked .
Just enjoying a calm morning ,not even looked outside yet ,must check if there are any more ohotis ,only about a thousand yet!
She looks like her Daddy,a big blond Scandinavian looking lad,well in his thirties but grand daughter has very dark hair and brown eyes like her mum and me ,so we will see.Kyra is obsessed with Lily .
They are all very close ,it is nice.
Well a cup of tea and tackle the day .
No idea where I will be on New Year’s day ,plenty of food in stock and so won’t starve although I don’t feel like cooking and my son in Bolton needs a break he has done all the running about for me as other son had to get a computer security check done down at head office in Surrey.
He was to drop me off at My daughter’s in Suffolk,then go on to Surrey,and go back to Suffolk -stay a few days and then we would come home .
I am looking up assisted train travel ,I did it once before when I was incapacitated ,had torn a muscle in my thigh and walking was really difficult - felt a real fraud in a wheelchair !
Well , I hope the New Year is good to you all , some still in deep grief ,and even time does not really help ,we never forget our loved ones nor should
we ..” Love’s last gift — Remembrance”.
Very best wishes to you all for Peace in 2025.
Viktoria.
