Another week nearly over......

Time really does go quickly as you get older....

Another week is nearly over,

Summer looks like it has gone too.... Very wet here in Plymouth this morning, and the forecast isnt good either. Its currently beating on the windows, just remind me it is July isnt it.

Well what has been happening in the Blake Household - Garys Mum was taken into hospital, despite x-rays, blood tests and more, there was nothing seriously wrong with her ! Which is very frustrating for us and her doctor. We have found out that she has a pain threshold of a Gnat, even the removal of a plaster had her screaming the place down. Unfortunately she has a bad back after falling over a few times, but if she doesnt eat / drink then she will be weak......and the list goes on. She is now back home with carers going in 4 x daily, but thats only a temporary measure. Poor Gary is worried about when that care stops....

I have been looking through old pictures on the Sheppey website and have come across sone brilliant ones which have brought back some very happy memories

 

I remember playing in this pool as a kid.

Views along part of the beach, where we played in the old days.

I am planning some "me time" over the weekend, for a little scrapbooking and reading.

Enough waffling for today,

Great weekend

 

We have had a great weekend, visiting friends, going out with friends. Had a lovely breakfast with Nova and her Dad Stan at the Secco Lounge. Poached Eggs with spinach and mushrooms. Had a lovely walk around Royal William Yard in the rain, Nova had a moment with a umberella which isnt supposed to turn inside out in the wind, it did ! Very funny.

An hour or so shopping in Primark, then home for a small lunch, tennis and housework.

Gary mum has had several falls at home this week, so a stressful time, she is really struggling, so the time is coming to make difficult decisions.

Its been a wet old Sunday today, and the forecast for the next couple of days isnt good.

Have a good week peeps

This weeks news......

Its been a good week at work, and I havent been able to say that in quite a few months, apparently our previous employer is going out saying he has sacked Debbie (he didnt she handed her notice in, followed by them putting her on gardening leave). They tried to bad mouth me too, but luckily people didnt believe what was said. To be honest I have walked away head held high.

The picture was taken durung our last holiday in Cornwall, Nova and I being silly and Gary catching the moment.

 

Garys Mum has had several falls this week, not sure why, in fact she rung us in the early hours of this morning, saying she had fallen again, paramedics had got her up, made her comfortable, tried ringing us, but the mobiles were downstairs and we didnt hear them until much later. One thing learned we must take mobiles upstairs when we go to bed.

Been to the Physio for more treatment on my longstanding back problem. Finally feels like I am getting there. Also had a great gym session with Nova and Punisher Chris. Cycling, Rowing, a few weight exercises and stretches. We are due to go again tonight, but that depends on what is going on with his Mum.

Had a session with Lara, (Lara Lewis Hypnotherapist) last night, we worked on a few things, I would highly recommend Lara as she works wonders. She got me through my bad black days.

Anyway I want to finish with another beautiful picture from Cornwall, this makes me feel very happy

So until next time

Live, Laugh and Be Happy
