Not impressed by the toe, grandmaB but then neither are you, I should imagine. All those tiny bones in our feet and then putting our weight on them, is not the best plan when you've bashed one. Do you use an Arnica spray? We have them here in aerosols which spray freezing cold foaming Arnica onto bumps and bruises etc., Great if you do something like a toe bash or bump your shins or elbows. Hope it gets better soon.
Hope you're not feeling wrecked, muse. That seems like a load of activity for one day - and I bet you don't go to bed early. Mr M sounds like he could do with a rest - or maybe half a dozen strong men assisting! We know you want it done but he does sound like he's unstoppable. So pleased to hear about your little GD. Less for you to worry about. As far as your Son is concerned, it's marvellous news. Obviously leaving a job that was just too stressful may turn out to have been a very smart move. Any chance that your DD and GD will turn up in overalls and boots, all ready for the construction work? No? Thought not. Perfect excuse for you to be side-tracked into something a bit more genteel, then. Think of those poor toes!
We've had a day today when the air felt like a Sauna. Not my favourite! A few days ago, I managed to get some face cream in my eyes. Face cream mixed with perspiration is fatal for me. It could have been a coincidence, since I have all sorts of allergies anyway at this time of year, but my eyes are really playing up and are all bleary. I have self-diagnosed Blepharitis.(Or, it could be any number of things but have had it before. Of course, I've not got around to speaking to the Doctor and she doesn't work today and so I rootled through our "Medical Drawer", searched through all our old prescriptions, found one for almost this time last year for some cream which worked wonders for the same symptoms. My Scooter man made his second trip into the village when the Pharmacy reopened at 3.30 and after some rigorous questioning !!!!! the Pharmacist very kindly produced the required two boxes for a week's treatment! He said (about 3 times, or so my DH said) "I'm afraid you'll have to pay for this as it's last year's prescription!". DH told him that was perfectly acceptable. I am now the proud owner of some prescription medication and for which I will not be able to ask the Government for a part refund of the cost. (Just under £5). So, do hope they'll be pleased and grateful. Wonderful service.
Have you been super-slumped on that new squishy furniture, Jax? It looks very comfortable and just right for sleeping through football matches that don't require much attention. I'm not a footie person and even less so if it's a slow or frustrating match. Same with Rugby. I expect there are lots of very disappointed fans around this weekend. I find BBQ's very tiring....D'you think you'll need to buy a stylish hat any time soon then?
Sounds like you've got the artist back on your shoulder, soop - and holding your brush. Are you doing something for Hellogirl or have I lost the plot?
Knockout Cornish views, yiayia. Wanted to say how really sad I am for your DD. Horses are beautiful and when you've owned one for a really long time it's obviously like losing a member of the family. She'll know what a wonderful life her horse has had, though - and when she's able to come to terms with the loss, she'll have the memories. All those experiences, happiness shared and good times to keep in her heart.
Everyone I've missed, everyone not here, everyone who needs a hug or a kind word, please help yourselves.
Take care. x
