Nowadays, I have to drink everything lying down flat and, this morning, my Santie beaker sprung a leak so OH was instructed, on his travels to Lerwick, to buy me a new one.
He came back with this. I am not sure if it is a subliminal message from the Gods, or just my OH making a subtle statement. It is fairly descriptive of the way I feel these days.
This afternoon, I fired off an email to the NHS voicing my opinion of the last 5 months. Actually, it made me see the whole miserable affair for what it is. I didn’t want the email to be a rant (I’m good at those) so OH is checking it over and turning it into succinct English.
Happy thoughts, I need a happy thought. Here is one I prepared earlier.
My legs are almost 100% defunct. I struggle with every day tasks. On the dog walk, we climbed to the top of the hill, to admire the view – always breathtaking. Nowadays, I only take all the dogs out for a walk when OH is away from home. The clock ticks with how much “upright time” I have.
The little things continue to fascinate me.
The dogs pottered along with me and had fun. When I am in the hill, I don’t go far in case I can’t get back but we probably stay out for an hour so they can enjoy themselves and I can play with my camera.
The horses share their silage nicely. I do love them so much for this. I really could not be doing with a fight every day, injury from arguments and just general bad feeling. We have none. They are real friends.
So it started to hail.
A picture of Bozz-Bozz-butt fur with hail bits in it. Woof!
These things stop me being an Angry Bird!
Love reading your blog, Frances. Thanks for the photos – it looked beautiful there today.
You walk more than most able-bodied people, Francis; you inspire me!
LOVE the photo of the dogs, stone wall and landscape….
I really hope the NHS offer you a solution soon.
Thank you for brightening my days!
What a beautiful place is my ancestral home!
Thank you for sharing what you see. You have an artist’s eye. Love that shot of—is that Fair Isle again? And who can ever get enough of pony bum-fuzz!
