Black Dog Gang 5

Annie I was wondering what had happened to you and thought I would find you here. you seem to be still going strong.
One of my favourite recordings is Eva Cassidy singing 'Over the Rainbow'.

It always makes me cry, and I'm not a naturally sad person.

Well done Flutterbyl you did it
Annie keep flying I will fly with you all..
Had a sad day again we have been let down by TUI this time booked on Saturday and today they told us again there is no hotel for us.. How can the do this it has broke my heart having to tell my grandkids we can’t go with them.. my grandson said don’t worry Gran you still have the memories of last time, he is 6 bless him.. I am so so sad more for GK than me I think..

flutterby you did it, be proud

For you ? x

I am getting a bit obsessed with ‘flying’, last night settling to sleep I started singing ‘somewhere over the rainbow’

The last two lines .

‘If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow,

Why then oh why can’t l ‘ ?

Annie, Doodle, Joce thank you soooo much for coming to the dentist with me. I hope you found the chairs comfy and enjoyed the coffee and cake that I treated you to afterwards.
All went fine. Just knowing you were there really helped.
Unless any problems my next appt is July and I got a well done for taking care of my teeth. Yippee.
Annie did you see me flying past your window? Xx
I am so tired now probably all the tension earlier.
XXX.
Doodle glad to hear your DG is getting help. Onwards and upwards to you both. Xx

Doodle thank you so much, I will continue to hold him in
my prayers. Yes it is good news x

Hello annie. I thought I would let you know that my DGS has at last been seen by the MHT and has been given some help. If it will work I don’t know but someone has finally acknowledged that the poor boy has a problem and they will try and help. Thank you for the many times you (and others) have asked about his welfare. Just thought you would like to know a bit of good news for a change. x

Hi all x

flutterby I too don’t like dental treatment. My dentist always tells me to breathe slowly in to the count of two and out to the count of three. It helps so you could try that. We will all be with you. Think of us in the corner of the room egging you on.
Sleep well all x

And me if Fluttrbyl I don’t like the dentist at all..
I have just had my reminder. Errr nooo
Big hug

Thanks Annie you thinking of me helps and I will think of you while I am in the dentist chair (12.30).
How have you been? Any snowdrops about yet or is it too early?
January is such a depressing month although the days are getting lighter.
You take care and let’s hope we have a restful sleep tonight.
Hugs to you too x

flutterby , if your tummy churns just remember - this too will pass.

I doubt anyone looks forward to a visit to the dentist , their
tummies churn too.

Fly dear flutterby , you will be safe . I will think of you.

Hugs x

Hi Anniebach, Doodle, Namsnanny, Joyce and all other friends.
Tomorrow I have a dentist appointment now to let you,understand I have a bit of a dental phobia - hence I detest going. I try to go every 6months but as I was bit unwell last year I did not go. Hence I am more nervous (tum bit churny) Do you know what I am going to try and do ‘not fall but fly’. More wise words from our Annie.
Nanny your cakes are amazing.
Hope you all had a good day with some ‘flying’.
Xxx

So sorry that should say thank you all

Tank you all.. Doole that made me lol I was just thinking mine need cleaning..
hope everyone has a good nights sleep...

Beautiful cake ?
Hi all. Hope today has been kind to you.
We were woken early by he window cleaners ? still at least we can see out of the windows now ?
Hope everyone is ok. x

joce she is brilliant !

Another lovely cake nanny, she’s very clever..

Annie I’m sorry I must have missed something has someone been unkind to you? I do hope not...

So true Annie we fly it’s hard but we do it.
Love that little quote it’s lovely x

Hi all x

Thank you Doddle and lavenderzen , it was distressing.

nanny yes getting out of bed everyday and doing things is
flying, staying in bed is fearing the edge.

The poem I quoted yesterday reminded me of my granddaughters being trouble about exams, I quoted
Eric Hanson

‘What if I fall,
‘oh but my darling ,
what if you fly’

Every time we face our fears, get up in the morning when we
want to stay under the duvet and avoid the world ? We fly

Well, its kind of normal for me BlueSky!
You've given be a thought, . . . .if I ever have cause to change my name on GN I'll use the very appropriate SeeSaw . Hope you don't mind?

I join Doodle, lavenderzen as well Annibach. Chin up I'm going to look her up as well. Thanks

Thanks Namsnanny so kind of you to ask how I am. Touched really that you bothered. Better right now but it's like a see saw, up and down, not sure this is normal, good night everybody.

I'm just echoing Doodle above Annie. You were an enormous help and support to me a couple of years back and I have never forgotten. Thinking of you xx

annie hope you are ok. Although I didn’t read the comments I gather someone has been unkind and insensitive to you on another thread. Just wanted to check you were ok. I looked up Dorothy Rowe last night and saw there were some YouTube videos of her. I will have a look later.
Hope everyone is ok x

annie very apt poem. i like it. I must remember that getting up everyday and doing "stuff" is infact me flying.

thank you all for your thoughts xxx

joce i need to place an order with your daughter for that cake|!!! GD frozen mad xx
