September Already!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

When I last posted at the end of May...

 

I fondly imagined

that I was going to start blogging again

at least weekly!!

 

But ....

within a few days....

I was back in hospital......

this time for 2 weeks!

 

 

It was all a bit shocking

as ....

I had taken my husband for an appointment

to investigate whether he had had

a TIA a few days before....

 

My asthma was not good....

but

it happens!

 

 

The registrar took one look at me....

practically pushed my husband out of the way....

took out his stethoscope....

and told me he was admitting me immediately...

shouted for a nurse to get a wheel chair.

 

 

So.....

I was in hospital for 2 weeks!

 

I didn't get to answer your lovely comments.

 

I am soooooo sorry!

 

 



 

 

 

It was so encouraging to read.......

that so many remembered me..

and had been wondering what had happened to me!

 

Thank you all so very much!

 

I intend to try to post more often ....

and visit....

and reply to your comments!

 

This last time in hospital was such a shock

as I thought that at last

I had finished with all the orthopaedic operations.

 

I was off crutches for the first time in

9 years....

and then.....

I ended up back in hospital!!

Ah me....

 

These pictures were taken yesterday.

It was a lovely afternoon

so we enjoyed the sunshine in the

walled garden

of a local castle.

 

 

How has the summer been for everyone?

I have to say

that, here in Wales,

it has not been very good.

Have felt so sorry for the holiday makers.....

particularly those with young children!

 

The coast is wonderful in good weather......

but it must be awful trying to entertain

young children

in a tent, or caravan,in the rain!

 

 



 

 

Last week seemed to have been one for

animals breaking out!!

 

First, on Tuesday,our own cattle

broke out of the back field onto my front lawn;

then, on Thursday and Friday, our neighbour's goat

got out and, as it was a billy goat,

put the fear of....

into a friend who was helping me in the garden;

then, on Friday,

our other neighbour's cattle broke into our farmyard

(luckily I had shut the farmyard gate

the night before!!

Lastly, ALL Saturday night

our bull

walked up and down the field

under our bedroom window........

roaring and bellowing...

to a neighbour's heifer......

 ...who was obviously in season!!

 

Who would live in the country??!!

 

So......

what's happening in my life?

Well I had to defer

my university course last winter as I was just

not well enough

after major surgery on my ankle.

 

I had got half way through....

but have to say

I was not enjoying relearning Latin.

 

I hated it the first time!!

 

I banked my first 3 assignments as I had good marks.

 

Now I must make sure that I don't slack with the studies.....

otherwise I will find it hard to pick up in February!

Oh joy!!

 

As I'm doing my degree distance learning

it will take me 6 years.

I have completed 3 and was half way through my 4th

when

I had to stop!

 

 



 

 

These last couple of years

I have taken up

scrapbooking and decorating my planners...

I really enjoy it and find it very relaxing!

 

I am going to start a course

for a couple of hours

once a week

on album making.

The examples I've seen are really lovely

but I'm sure that it will take me a while to get

anything like!!

 

 



 

 

I also enjoy

memory keeping/journaling in

my Traveller's' Notebook (TN)........

Sometimes I write and decorate

every day

 

 

 

 

At other times...

it can be quite a few days!

 

 

My family may enjoy reading about me...

and the things I enjoy

after my days..

on the other hand.....

they may just throw them away.

 

It doesn't matter as...

I have enjoyed doing it!!

 

 

So....there you are....

I think that I've about caught up!

I shall enjoy becoming reacquainted with you!
