Wet Wednesday Woes!

 

 

Hello everyone,

What a couple of days it`s been; there have been so may highs and lows I`m starting to feel quite dizzy!  Monday, as I told you Jim went fishing with his mate Mark.  They had a smashing day and though the "big `un" eluded them both, they caught so many fish they hardly had time to rest, shame they`re not edible as my freezer would be full up.

Here he is with a smaller than usual but quite attractive carp....It must be a female...lol!

Mrs Daphne Duck and her brood.

Mrs. D again taking all ten of the kids for a swim.

Yesterday morning Jim woke up with a dreadful headache.  It continued through the morning and despite him taking tablets it just got worse.  I called his firm and told them that he wasn`t going to work.  I must admit I was getting really worried about him.  He does suffer from migraine from time to time but this seemed far worse than usual, however by mid afternoon it subsided somewhat and he seemed much better.  Then I started to get a headache, though not as bad as Jim`s, then so did Kerry.  I can only guess that it`s another virus because none of us feel to bright right now.  Kerry feels really bad again:  I think this rota-virus of Roman`s has done an about turn and has bitten us all again.  Now if we only had some decent weather....sigh.

              

In the late afternoon the carpet fitters arrived, all three of them...why so many were needed goodness knows but who was I to argue?  Anyway, they did a brilliant job and we now have the luxury of walking up and downstairs with our toes sinking in the deep, squidgy pile...and without the worry of impaled feet...bliss!  I took photos of the finished hallway and I`ll post them tomorrow, with the `before` photos so you can see the improvement.

                  

Today started well, it was sunny, Roman has cut another tooth without any obvious pain, I went out and visited an old friend and we caught up with all the gossip.  All in all, it was a GOOD day...until.  This afternoon I took Jake to the vet for his annual booster.  It was raining quite heavily and as he`d just got back from his afternoon walk with Jim, I decided to drive there.  I loaded him into the car expecting him to sit in the wheel well in the front of my car but he had other ideas, it was to be the passenger seat or the driver`s seat.  As I don`t think much of his driving skills it had to be the latter.  So off we went, the vet is only a couple of streets away so we would be there and back in no time...or so I thought.  The vet was pleased with his general health and vaccinated him, dished out some working pills and flea remedy and helped me take out a second mortgage to pay her bill...lol!  Then it was back to the car, a slight squabble about who was driving and then home again. That`s when the day turned nasty.  You see, the schools had turned out and I had quite forgotten this important piece of information.  I usually steer clear of even leaving the house between 3-4.30 pm to avoid school traffic and flippin` awkward kids who think it`s their right to walk along the middle of the road and try and stop the traffic.  Today being no exception, but like I said, I`d forgotten the time.....3.45, and today it was my turn to become a statistic.  Turning into my little road, up ahead were three girls aged no more than 13, they saw me coming and promptly jumped into the road, whooping loudly, so that I had to creep along behind them.  I was not at all pleased and gave them a small blast of the hooter, they didn`t move and carried on laughing.....I was just about to do it again when they jumped out of the way again and one of these young ladies shouted " Are you ( 7 letter expletive)blind?".  That did it, I pulled over and asked her to repeat what she said.  The other two girls looked terrified and kept telling me it wasn`t them but the other girl.  I reminded them that they were joining in the `fun` and were as much to blame as the other girl, who, I might add didn`t care one bit that I was sitting there with steam coming out of my ears!  Jim said to report the matter to the school in question and I will do just that tomorrow.  I know I don`t know their names but the school ought to know about the behaviour of their pupils....grrrrr!   It might sound silly but it spoiled my day, those girls could have been killed playing their silly games, and had that girl spoken to  someone else like that there`s no telling what their reaction might have been.

Anyway, that`s enough of my ranting for one day.  I hope you`ve all had a lovely day.  Take care and Bye Bye for now.
