I’ve been lying on my bed all day being waited on hand and foot by my wonderful Flossie (as I type this, she is cutting up vegetables to roast with a chicken). To fill my day, I have gone through my family tree looking at Data Inconsitency Reports trying to amend errors like having a baby at 14yo or 49 (which is apparently true and not that long ago – 1846). Poor woman – Fred was the last of 11 children!
Meanwhile, Pepper has proved to be a rotten nurse (and I haven’t seen hide nor hair of Monster either). She has been totally absent all day and was driven home from the neighbours after tea (***sigh ***). She wants me to apologise to her for being so boring today. No one is talking to her now, again and she’s been sacked from her job. And when I think of the undying devotion from BeAnne Duvet who never left my side and bed through 3 spinal operation recoveries, I told Pepper – can you see the bored look on her face?
Flossie also managed to escape, sorry, went for a walk this afternoon and I texted her to take some photos as she went as I had nothing for this blog.
Anyway, it is loveley to see the outside, even through someone else’s eyes. I know it is not as warm as it looks, hence the rugs staying on as windcheaters.
They don’t seem to hold anyone back.
And everyone seems perfectly happy and comfortable so while I am stuck inside, I am not worrying about them. Just the fact that Pepper is escaping.

Just take your time Frances, l am glad you are resting today. I love the photo of Pepper trying to ignore you!
wicked soul
I know that by saying we share your pain doesn’t make any different to it but I am wondering whether you ever will see an end to all this. It’s so unfair that you are suffering in this eternal way and nothing is there to really help you. If only AI or the internet can send effective pain relief to you from afar, you’d be totally free because of the cleverness of all your readers/ followers’ wishes. Sending you hugs and love from New Zealand.
Thank you and no, I will never see an end to this. All I can do is manage it.
I’m sorry I was completely wrong about Pepper and Monster being of some assistance . . .
Yup, totally wrong!
I really hope the treatment gives you some relief. I’m sure you’ll be sensible and follow all the rehab advice. Pepper’s nursing skills might improve over the next few days – perhaps she hasn’t quite appreciated how much you would benefit from her presence. Please thank Flossie for the photos. xx
Well done to you and Floss! Pepper, I suppose you’ve done your best and you think Frances must be better now because, after all, she went off out for the day yesterday, to enjoy herself.
By the way, Jeanne Chaboussant and Mathurin Gastineau had EIGHTEEN children!
oh dear god – 18! I’ve only got 14 down and that’s enough. Off to check mine.
