morning - definately cooler so watching someone eating the hottest chicken wings lol 

hubby has had to put on a sweat chirt hahaha and he hardly ever wears anything thicker than T shirt.

off to hospital today not for neck but spine this time lol will be interesting to hear what they have to say about my spinal stenosis. hve decided will probably still wear masks even after the 19th dont trust the rate of infection and cannot afford to catch anything. 

crocs went home yesterday after having a great time with the mini mafia. surorising really that they both get on but it takes all sorts. they had a good sending off everyone cheering and hugging each other and the crocs even invited the mini mafia over to America at some point. After  a bit of spluttering and black smoke from the camper van exhaust the crocodiles left leaving the mini mafia laughing and coughing in the fumes.

morning 

promises to be nice today the weather is so unpredictable so i suggest we all enjoy what we can!! 

already had a sit outside getting the rays - lovely. 

well got CT scan date for 22nd and agreed to have more injections in spine before opting for operation. 

time to start trying a job a day again in preparation for work - the idea makes me sink lol dreading having to cope for 6 hours on the trott. - needs a boost up the back side lol - like the fireworks that go fizz all over the place! 

now got three hedgehogs back in my care - this is good preparation lol. two have been attacked in the disabled garden by rats i suspect and have got cuts and abscesses so i had to clean them all up yesterday and give antibiotics. then i have a little baby called Terry who we arre having to half syringe feed because he is wee only 121g up 9g since yesterday. he is absolutely adorable and cute so fingers crossed. was not aiming to have any but our co founder is on holiday and one of the hogs was one i had previously looked after called Bigfoot, the other is a frisky girl we have called Wendy. we have madde up a big pen for those two with logs, a roll of grass turf, and igloo houses. 

of for a rest.

Bigfoot is getting there but being a fiesty little man lol decided he did not want injections last night - not that i can blame him probably remembering lasttime. wendy took things in her sttride which s good.

keep smiling and have a good day x

morning - weather has changed again a lot cooler todday lol. does not know what it wants to do lol. a bit like me this morning!!! 

mini mafia had a pool party last night - they all got into their swimming cossies and went to the large puddle down the road which is a bit like a lake to them for a midnight splash and BBQ at the beach edeg. they had grilled worms and more corn with lots of lemonade - alcohol banned as they get too over board on it and no one wanted any drownings!! (especially with children around). the show of group were habving races to see how many laps they could do, the toungsters just splashed at the edges and the slightly older ones had their rubber rings on and arm bands and were swimming slowly up to the centre and back. the parents sat and did their usual mother chats and the dads played basket ball. it was fun. 

hubby is already had collie wobbles about the game tonight and being a bit over optimistic!! i am more looking forward to the mens wimbledon!! 

have a good day keep smiling x

Morning

Glad to hear the mini mafia had a good time and there were no accidents at the pool party lol, hope your ok Elona and the lumps not causing to much trouble, sounds like you hubby looking forward to the football later I must admit I enjoyed watching the last game my son and daughter watched it to and there was much shouting at the tv, all ok with me blisters still in mouth so still sore but throat a lot better thankfully, starting to worry a bit if the treatment has worked and what next if it hasn't but no point going there have to be positive, hope everyone is doing well take care

Allison x

morning all

Glad to hear your ok Allison, try not to worry if your mouth is feeling better must be a good sign, the blisters will probably take some time to go I imagine - the important thing is to remain positive so you dont get stressed and go backwards. How long until you have your follow up??

hubby got over the disappointment of the footie failry quickly because he said we did not play well so really didnt deserve to win although he said you could say they had a draw since they were both one all and not to count penalties. 

i find things very difficult with chronic fatigue and have to try and work out how to cope becuse i have to go back to work in three to four weeks time. 

i have been putting out food for the outside hogs and i think next doors cat has also been heloing herself lol because she has been leaving me presents next to the bowl!! these have been throw. into field for fox so hopefully also acting as deterrent for mini mafia. (think they have nticed as therre is a big red cross marking the area and only the thrill seekers are venturing across!

take care keep smiling. x

morning 

hope everyone is getting on ok and enjying the weather. Pedro is loving having me at home at the moment he goes intot he garden loads of times - of course on his terms - however, the pigeons were not so impressed they had to wait for their tea yesrterday because he wanted to play!! think their tummies were girgling a lot by the time they got to their tea!! 

try8ng to improve my energy levels but not easy - have an appointment for TB test tomorrow - bloods to see if i have been in contact with TB that is. lovely nurse phoned me up today. 

enjoy the sun keep smiling x

morning 

a breeze this morning which is quite nice. Had to get up early to go and get C spot bloods done, should get results next week when i get CT scan. also have the fun of sputum pots to do lol. got a little emotional due to tiredness Rolo decideed that fter my meds at 2am i had to be kept awake until he got fed at 6am then i had 2 hours sleep before i had to get up. Met the respiratory nurse too, who is also the TB nurse for assessment to see what she thought. she will then retell back to the consultant with whatever she thinks. - another limbo. 

hoping everyone ok. 

the hotel a la mafia is coming along the builders got threatened yesterday that if they did not finish by the end of the month they would not get paid. they nearly walked out until they realised that this was actually a profitable job and they wouldnt get another one that good in the area. (susopect the wifes also had a voice in their descicions - another kind of threat!!). the main structure is not nearly done so it looks like it is on track and the manah=ger is pleasantly pleased he is going round beaming and being nice to everyone to the relief of the habitants. 

little Terry has put on weight still he is now 202g really pleased he is doing well. the other two hogs are also ok, they had a bit of a tiff last night obviously because they were separate last night. the pgeons were waiting for their breakfast this morning whilst we were outside. 

have a good day keep smiling xx
