Thursday's Daily

[Mags]

Tink, it's good to hear that things are improving for you, you have had a lot of stress lately. Make sure K doesn't overdo things (easier said than done, I know) he needs to rest and take things easy to get himself better.

Pleased to hear all the animals are ok...

Take care, best wishes to you both.....x

Wonderful news Erin, I'm pleased all went well for your Dad ....... x

Erin - I'm delighted your Dad's doing well. It must have been so lovely to hear his voice.

Tink - what can I say. You are an inspiration to us all. From someone who was struggling - to someone who has come through so strong, positive and confident . . . I applaud you, I really do. K is a lucky man to have you at his side. I consider myself strong but I'm not sure I would have had the mental and physical energy to get through what you have.

Jan - the 3-monthly colouring session at the hairdressers is my 'downtime'. Rubbish celeb mags and thinking about nothing . . . I really look forward to those appointments so I completely know where you're coming from

Tink - I think you know how much we all admire your courage and strength.

"But the one thing I've learned no matter how his mood is I can't let it affect me, I have to take care of myself in order to take care of others and nurture myself as well so when he is grumpy I just do something that will make myself happy and check in with him later."

These words are just so true and show that you have learned so much from your troubles. I am going to try and remember them as they strike such a note with me.

Erin - glad your Dad is out of surgery. Hope his recovery is good.

On a warm note - OH has lit the woodburner for the first time tonight. It is beautifully warm in the lounge. Pip is basking in the warmth. Kizzy has gone out hunting - poor love, she is probably trying to supplement her fairly strict rations!!! I have to catch up on some work this evening, but will try and pop in later before bed.

Forgot to say - went down to the compost heap this afternoon, lifted the old carpet covering and came almost nose to whisker with a big adult male rat!!! He was so sleek and fat that he almost got caught trying to squeeze his escape through the wire netting. He'd been lunching on some of the earthworms - the Bokashi really seems to suit the worms and now, it seems, the rat. Prefer last year's voles.

Tink, it was wonderful to get that report of how things are going; you have been so strong thru all this! Sorry about your Grandpa, Cuddles does sound as if she's getting feline dementia, my Patches was like that.

Erin, great news about your Dad!

Angie, who was more surprised, you or that rat!? I hope Kizzy doesn't get him....too many calories for her! Poor starving girl, Leia sends commiserations!
