MONDAY, BIRTHDAYS and PHOTOS

 

Hello everyone,

These are some of the photos from my morning walk last week, when, armed with my trusty digital camera. I`ve included my favourite trees with the white and red  blossom.  I don`t know what type they are but they are very beautiful.  Also I`ve never seen a white bluebell before so I thought  I`d post that too.

Today is Jim`s birthday..... HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUSBAND JIM !!!......and this morning he went shopping for jam doughnuts to take to work.  He bought 3 dozen for the crew room at work.  He said they won`t last 2 mins when the other blokes get a sniff of them, mind you, he only took 35 to work as I had one this morning with my coffee. Very tasty it was too !   This afternoon my friend Pat came over and we had planned to go on a nice country walk with Jake.  Well, we did go on the walk but it could have been nicer if it wasn`t raining and we didn`t bump into `HER` ( the woman I told you about last week, the one who I can`t stand).  We didn`t exactly bump into her as see her from a distance coming towards us.  Well as neither of us could face the idea of bumping into her, we ran, quite literally down the lane as fast as our fifty-ish legs would carry us!  It did the trick, we got away and Jake thought we were playing a game.  Maybe if she saw as take off like that she will have got the message, but somehow I doubt it.  I took Pat home just after 5pm, later than I intended because I hit the evening traffic coming out of work, which nearly doubled the journey, time-wise.  It gave me time though to play the CD Pat had bought me for my birthday. So there I was in traffic singing my head off to `Laura` by Scissor Sisters.  Great stuff, even though Jim says I`m too old for that sort of music...NEVER , say I !!!

The man who is going to fit our new front door was here just now so I could show him the style we want.  It will be different from the last door but the same as our side door.  At least now our two doors facing the front of the house will be the same.  The glass I wanted turned out to be the most expensive so we have decided to have the same glass as the side door also.  It was very smart but for anextra  £50, it wasn`t that nice!

I`m having a lot more trouble with my arm and hand at the moment and can`t wait to get back to the specialist on May 13th.  I just hope they can explain why a)  It hurts a lot now where before the op. it didn`t hurt at all.    b)  The numbness in my hand has not only returned but spread to other fingers and my thumb!  I`m now totally fed-up with the whole situation and dread the thought that maybe they will need to operate again.  But I will cross that bridge when I come to it but I will insist on some answers.  I had the op. on February 16th and it`s getting worse, maybe it`s just me, but it just doesn`t seem right.  Thats it for now, I`m off and I`ll leave you with some trivia again..... Bye for now!
