Grandma W

Well the 30th July was her funeral, it was very sad and very surreal. Lots of things to think about and move on with.

What was lovely was seeing just how much support there was for me and how much people were willing to make the day go as well as it could.

Onwards.........

Izzy the lizard

meet my new nephew

me leah and elaine went to b and q, look what they were doing!!!!!

swimming at pingles

On Friday we planned to go swimming,the plan changed and I was left mightly disappointment (much like a small child)
However we rearranged and went today instead to Pingles in Nuneaton and it was fab, not too busy which surpised me as it is a bits pants weather wise and school hols.
There was a swimming lane set up so I een got to swim a bit reather than splash around.
I am not cooking my pasta as swimming always gives me the feeling of being able to consume a large pony or horse! :)
Cheers Pooles, good trip out
Unfortunately Laine had a migrane so couldn't come :(

10.8.08

I did buy a cheap digital camera today

important day indeed (yesterday that it)

Because it was the day I first began to juggle with the clubs the Burnetts gave me years ago for my birthday. How chuffed was I? Oooo must be 18 out of 10

Need more practice as I'm not consistantly safe but think i will get there.

Just a note to anyone who thinks about learning to juggle clubs wear a hard hat and shoulder pads, it can be painful!

we all went to bo beep again:)

we rode bike and ate and slept, think that covers it :)

5.30 is a lovely time of day

Laine has been on placement for oh some weeks now, she has to get up t about 5.30am to make sure she is ready to go at 6.30am (she takes a little longer in the morning than I do but I'm not sure being able to get up at 7.50am and leave at 8am is anything to blog about!). I am kindly helping by getting up as well so she doesn't miss her bus (well Pete the taxi). I then hop back to bed for another hours sleep.
Anyways there have been some lovely mornings, no pictures I'm afraid far too sleepy to be thinking about grabbing a blumming camera

I am hoping the rabbits extension will arrive today, it makes there run bigger and then next month I want to get them a summerhouse so they can stay out in the day when the weather is nice enough. Bessie particularly likes it outside, Archie likes it anywhere that we are.

Ellie Sarah and Megan came for a picnic, t'was lovely! I bought a sun shelter for the rabbits which was way bigger than I expected so we sat in it instead and did a jigsaw (after Ellie had had a nap)

Anyways, soon time to go back to bed and then up and today I shall be going to warwick

skip, 5.30 and rabbits

well laine has started her new placement, she has done 4 shift over the last week, all beginning at 7am in Warwick. This has meant that we have both seen too many 5.30ams over the last 7 day. I do feel in a slightly better position as i can go back to bed after and i don't have to do it for 7 week. It was a case off all alarm clocks in the house going off this week to make sure she was up

then theres bessie, i must ring in a minute. She has been with Jane at the rabbit rescue for what seems like weeks. We may have a potenital new friend, Colin, he's a bit older than our Bess but is the only bunny there that she hasn't hated :) We'll see

Yesterday Ian and I tootled over to Melton to help me mum and Baz clean out my grandads garage. He had a lot of years to collect stuff and my he had done well. Baz isn't for throwing stuff out and I think he must have saved 15 hammers "just in case"

Today I'm pottering, in me garden, sorting caravan and maybe going to see Bess

oh and Dr Who was fantastic!!!

tent

Last night we picked Leah up from brownies. I began to have a thought about tenting.
We got home and the thought kept going round in my head and then it just jumped out my mouth, "leah you wanna sleep in the garden in the tent tonight?" Leah said yes, so that was it we put t'tent up, got the air bed, got it all comfy, watched Dr Who and then slept in the tent.
It was lvoely, only small issues were cats either trying to get in or getting in and then having to be thrown out and it rained loads was nice to hear it on the canvas but was a bit loud at times.

Thats it now, in nice weather on our plip weekends I think we may be camping :)

busy few weeks

It's been a bit busy of of, laine has finished her exams and essay and now has 4 weeks off, Cousin Linda from Canada is here and staying over the road, we went to Hatton and Stratford yesterday, was lovely.
My garden is most definitely getting there
and it's bank holiday - I love May with it's not one but two bank hols :)
oooo
and most importantly it was Enisa's 18th on Friday, we had a big party for her with balloons, ribbon, banners, cakes, potatoes, dips, cakes, presents, music, people, cakes and alcohol!

HAPPY 18TH MISS ENISA!!!!!!

me and net went to b and q

net cut herself on a very expensive £150 sun lounger, I then said we had to tell somone in case a small child got hurt. They all took it very seriously and we had a first aider and Jeanette had to fill in an accident form :)

hayfever

i hate having hayfever, I never suffered from it as a kid but as I have matured (:)) its seems to get me every year. Today I am snotty and itchy and the worse thing is it make me feel lethergic as I am a bit of a doing person so these 2 things conflict.
I've just dropped my car off for it's service and MOT, then I'm off for a haricut, not something I enjoy but is a necessity. Then another trip to the tip anf finally offering my help to the Poole who''s house in parts resembles a building site and they have a visitor saying for a week orso from Thursday.

Laine is still attacking her essay and revision, feels like she been doing it for months, it's been a hard slog this year cos uni has run while she's been working so she hasn't had any free weeks to get it done. I don't envy her at all!!

new job grass and a hole in a wall - bike

The new job is going well, I have a desk a car park passa phone and a puter. I've really enjoed it so far which is nice!

The turf arrived Friday evening, by the time I made it home it was all in the back garden, Ian, bless him has spent close to 2 hours carrying it round for me, the kind man left a few extra rolls, funny kind for me, cruel for Ian.
Turf was all layed by 9.30am Sat

Then Sat Ian and I knocked a hole in his wall for a lintel, then realised the bricks were looking far too shakey and ran a builder. Builder said we had done it right and that there was hardly anything to do. Builder doing it though tomorrow night, I must admit holes in load bearing walls are a bit scary :)

Laine is busy doing her essay, I'm sure she'll catch up on some sleep at some point.

And

LEAH RODE HER BIKE WIV NO SUPPORT AT ALL NOT A BIT NO ONE, YAY LEAH

and..

Ellie had a birthday, "happy birthday Ellie"

nipped in and look what i found

I nipped round to the pooles cos laine was busy working and sometimes i find it hard to be quiet

low and behold they were just about to have dinner and even thou i had already had a jacket potato and beans at tesco with Ellie, Sarah and Megan i thought it would be rude not to have a little bite. This was the little bite they placed in front of me

yum yum

dr who is back and we go costwold soon

Well a week on from concrete day and I think we are all about okay now :)
Hopefully a nice man (whom i shall be paying) is gonna come and take it away on thursday.

We just watched Dr Who, love it, fantistic and me and laine try our best to keep Dr Who time free. However next week we shall be sat in a caravan in the middle of no where in the Cotswolds :) Been getting the caravan ready this evening, will be all nice and tidy cos laine gonna tidy it

I went to see Helen, Matt, Missy and Rudi today, they all sooooo lovely and I got well fed :)
