Remembrance, hooks and having a Local.

Tonight I went out with three friends, to my local pub. And very nice it is too. In the past two months I have been there five times, and Mr Elliott and I have a date night/day to go there too. The Little Man goes back to school next week, so then I guess I’ll be hitting the pub. Make mine a coke, because that’s how I roll......hardcore all the way.  But I tell you what, I am actually quite proud of The George as my local. It is so good to have somewhere nice and welcoming (friendly staff, dogs are welcome and catered for too, water and dog biscuits just inside the door.)

Because I’m English, can I please be permitted to moan about the weather, and the clocks changing business? Right so, our clocks change at the weekend, they go back an hour. It’s already really dark. And even though this happens EVERY year, it still surprises me. Spring forward, fall back. A handy saying to help you remember what’s going on. Please excuse the Americanism. (Fall=Autumn) So, yeah, it’s dark, and dingy, and raining. On and off. On and off. Like my bobble hat and scarf. BUT I did get a proper grown up coat from Mountain Warehouse. It’s black, so it will go with my heart, ninety percent of my wardrobe, and it’s so very light and so very warm. Excellent purchase, well done.

Talking about excellent purchases, a row of hooks arrived today. And I can’t wait to get them up on the wall! It’s really important to keep the floors clear when you’re in a wheelchair, obstacles like, for example, a pile of your bags can become a death trap. A DEATH TRAP I TELL YOU!! A nod to the Good Man, who has taken on the role of health and safety executive.
Right, I must go and see about getting these hooks on the wall.


In remembrance of Chris.
Thanks for the

My MOT. And a list....

Well, that serves me right! Writing a blog, looking online at clothes and shit, texting a couple of people, all with one eye closed (to combat double vision) Anyway, I managed to delete what I’d written, so here I go again......

Yep, MS is stirring up shyte pour moi. It’s latest trick (and a new one on me) is that my left leg feels freezing....it’s not freezing to touch, just to me......y’know? My husband has just got back from the cinema, and he’s venting about the disaster that is Trump and what’s his name over Korea way,
Sum Dum Fuk* or something and anyway, the world goes a bit mental whenever I have a baby, or small child. Gulf Wars 1 and 2, Bosnia and Croatia, Sierra Leon, and Afghanistan, and on and on it goes. We certainly don’t need anyone else to add to that list. The World needs stabilising, but I fear Trump will knock the World off it’s axis.

I have friends visiting me from Canada at the moment. I visited them a few years ago, and it was lush. It was also where I could see the hummingbirds......beautiful little birds, who may hold the key to sorting MS. If their nervous system has a break or a blockage, their nervous system just goes around the break or blockage, and normal service is resumed. Brilliant.

I’ll tell you what’s not brilliant though......the dog’s horrific wind, and one hour spent recently at the doctors.....implant out, coil in, compliments about my cervix, whilst getting a smear, and a flu jab. Still, that’s my yearly MOT done.

The boys have disappeared this morning to sort their suits for daughter number 2’s wedding. It’s the second family wedding, and as we span from Yorkshire down to Devon, we don’t get together too much........and I miss them.

Family:
Synonyms: branch, brand, breed, cast, caste, character, classification, collection, color, degree, denomination, department, description, designation, distinction, division, domain, estate, family, feather, frame, genre, genus, grade, grain, grouping, hierarchy, humor, ilk, kidney, league, make, mold, name, nature, order, origin, property, province, quality, range, rank, rate, school, sect, section, selection, set, source, species, sphere, standing, status, stripe, style, suit, temperament, value, variety

Big thanks to Roget for the fine work. I thank you. Although, why feather? Why kidney? How did they make the list??
Linda? Help?
