Diary summary week ending 27th April

[Roobarb]

Well either Louisa Maud is busy or she's forgotten that today is Monday.  Easily done, the last four days all seem to have been Sundays. 

Some rain here tonight, much needed for the gardens. Sunny and increasingly warm forecast for the rest of the week.

[Caw1]

The days seem all over the place and as for the dates I’m always terrible!
Dull and cloudy this morning and then rain which all the newly planted vegs/ seeds are in desperate need of.
The rain didn’t stop our grandsons from being in the garden but lunch soon brought them inside… I had a full fridge when they arrived yesterday morning and by teatime today it’s looking very empty!
Looking forward to the sun and warmer weather returning.

Hope everyone has had an enjoyable Easter whatever the weathers been like and enjoy the rest of the week.
Take care everyone

I did realise it was Monday, just a bit preoccupied  with my daughters poorly dog, I am sharing the looking after with a very kind dog sitter,   my week isn't my own this week.

Lousy  weather for Easter,  rained this evening,  am just squeezing a few hours off tomorrow to meet a friend, cutting the day short to be back to my daughters, it's all go at the moment, plus the church fayre this Saturday  I'm supposed to be in charge, what did I do to deserve it I ask myself

Take care

LM.

Whatever - the weather will be whatever it wants to be, regardless of time or day!  BUT if we are still here, then that is all that matters for us!   

[Roobarb]

You're just kind hearted LM, spending your time doing things for others. I hope your daughter's dog is soon better, it's so distressing with pets who can't tell you how they're feeling. And I'm sure the church will appreciate your hard work.
Hang on in there x

Thank you Roobarb  but I am sad to say my daughters dog is very ill, the dog sitter is fantastic, my grandaughter comes home tonight about 10pm so I will be there when she arrives,  my daughter and son in  law are due home on Saturday, I would like to think they cut their holiday short, I think they will have to make a decision  soon, in my opinion very sad but I wouldn't like to see him suffer.

I am sure whatever money we will make at the fayre will be appreciated.

Bumble,  I have a friend who is forever  saying "I might not  be here tomorrow" she is 89, drives me mad, none of us know  what is happening tomorrow, neither did 2 relations who were aged 22, 45 and 55, I try to live each day as it comes, what will be , will be.

Take care  everyone

Apologies for being a little "light-hearted" in the midst of pet problems, BUT:

Our local garden centre runs an "over-60's Club" where special offers are available to members every Wednesday.

This week's offer is "TWO free slices of toast" but you have to purchase a hot drink.

Well I realised just now I was still posting in last week’s diary !
Sorry  about the dog  what is the matter with it?
I hope it improves, they do pull at your heartstrings don’t they .

We were staying with friends in Shropshire who were minding a neighbour’s little dog .
It was blazing hot weather and the little aCairn Terruervwas seeking cool places in the garden
She was bloated with fluid like heart failure, we took her to thevVet’s and he agreed, and wanted to put her to sleep ,so we phoned  our  friends who phoned the owners but they did not want that so we had to take her back to our friends and sadly she died the next day which was so upsetting for them but honestly such a weight gain ought to have alerted the owners well before she was in her last hours.
Our friends found her under the big rhubarb leaves in the shade .
Aaaaaw, a dear little dog.
Dogs are amazing , I always think they are brighter than us !

Well baby Lilly was munching on a banana!
What us she now ,born November 13 th so five months, it seems very early to me ,mashed up yes BUT some new fangled” baby controlled “ diet and weaning programme!
I must bite my tongue!

St. George’s Day tomorrow, anyone putting the flag out?

Well cheerio .
Viktoria .

Another step along the road back to some sort of sense and reality. Mark and Erica down for a couple of days at the weekend and tackled the wardrobe; sorting Jane's clothes and packing them up into cases for disposal. The best will go to the church at Southdown in Bath, where they have a charity shop which Jane and a colleague set up nearly 30 years ago when she worked there.
They also re-organised the kitchen and utility room to make things more manageable. Slight downside to this is that I am having to adjust to finding where they moved things to, but it looks a lot more organised now!
They worked so hard to get things right for me.
