Hi there Thanks for popping in. First day back in the office today. Went well. Enjoyed seeing everyone. Felt good to be back in the saddle. It’s the first day I have really felt well, not wiped out. Like we’ve turned a corner. So grateful! Nearly forgot to blog though, because I was so busy doing nothing! Well, one eye on a jigsaw puzzle and the other watching Jack Whitehall – Travels with my Father. Blimming funny. I have a…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Dave and I were watching a load of crows in the sky, and I remembered ages ago in the SHAC how we‘d had a cool session, learning all the collective nouns and names for the various groups of birds. Could I remember the Crows? A Parliament of crows I thought, but then I was pretty sure the Owls were also a parliament. …so what do you do? You let your fingers do the walking,…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Went to see the consultant today. All in all, a positive outcome. Blood infection well down, having been through the roof, oxygen levels healthy. It was the X-ray which took me aback. I was quite surprised to see how not symmetrical the lungs were. The consultant explained that the diaphragm had moved up and taken the liver with it, to fill the gap the infection had created. He then went on to expain that…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Hahaha. Talk about click bait! Sorry. But you can bet your bottom dollar more folks will click on Glorious Tits than they will Glorious Garden Birds!! All those disappointeds….ahhhhh…. Just came back from the most glorious sunset up on the forest. It’s a good walk. Flat, not hilly, and just the right distance with a bench or two. I certainly know I’ve done it, but not in a bad way x You know Spring…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. I watched Ragnar today, one of our little Viking boys, sleeping soundly in the kitchen. Did he care that it was 11 in the morning? Nope, did he heck! They sleep when they want, they sleep where they want. They eat when they want too. They sit by the kitchen door when they want to go out, they pose at the kitchen window when they want to come back in. Sometimes Erik and Ragnar…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Busy morning. Already been to a hospital appointment early doors. Dave took me. I may actually be able to drive there myself, and sort myself out, but to be honest, my confidence has been rattled. I guess that’s normal, and I look forward to getting back behind the wheel, but easy does it. I have to say it again, in my experience, Pembury Tunbridge Wells hospital is pretty excellent. From parking the car to…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s Monday again. Strange, since every day seems like a Saturday nowadays! Pottering around the house, doing a bit of Spring cleaning, and finding all sorts of little arty samples and things I am loath to part with… First up, the lino prints I created a while ago, and we made into stamps. Makes me think I’d like to pursue that artform again. I had actually booked a 2-evening course for Dave and myself…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s quite hard for a workaholic, who is completely addicted to her work, to sit and do not very much. Progress is lamentably slow healthwise, and I really do have to be a patient patient – which does NOT come naturally. However, a voice in my head stops me in my tracks with “You’re lucky to be alive Barbara – behave”. And so I do. What a turn of events, eh. But this too…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Good day, good day. Went for breakfast to Mum’s, which was lovely. She is doing well. Then came home to watch Rugby. This pottering and spring cleaning is bringing loads of stuff to the surface! I found a neat piece of artwork sandwiched between 2 paintings, which I haven’t thought about for years. Remember making it in our second home in New Mexico though, when we had been over to Anaheim LA to launch…
