I got up late this morning and came down to find mother missing from her usual chair. She had got herself and her walker outside and she was sitting on the patio with her feet up on the walker......all very relaxed ( Read more... )

I really cannot remember how long it has been since I last posted a picture.....and I was looking out the window at the rain falling in the back garden and thinking that not very long ago it was hot and sunny. This picture of PatchDog was taken in mother's garden 2 months ago. April is supposed to be wet and June is supposed to be sunny but it's ( Read more... )

Following on from mother's recent successes with going out I had planned to take her to Warwick Market today for a little potter round and to buy some vegetables for the week. But it seems that the westher has other ideas. It is all damp and miserable outside - certainly not worth risking mother catching a chill ( Read more... )

Thurday we got mother's doctor out to her. The doctor was undecided whether to send her into hospital or not but did so in order to establish whether the problem was water retention or worsening ashema. It's a really good thing that mother was admitted because her energy was so low, her heart was in a bad state - in fact the doctor treating her was ( Read more... )

Currently my mother isn't very well again and I came down to Warwick last Saturday leaving the dogs at home to be looked after by teenagedethgrrl. I didn't expect to be here too long but didn't really know how long it would need. Well it's now Wednesday and I'm still here! Mother can't be left to fend for herself - there is no way she can get her own food or even ( Read more... )

Quite a bit has happened over the last few days and I have neglected to do very much updating. A week ago Thursday teenagedethgrrl did the first ever soap party which went quite well. Then we had our usual craft fair at the Horse & Jockey in Chorlton where we tried some new marketing on the tables which seemed to work OK ( Read more... )

What lovely weather! We were promiised a mini heatwave over the weekend that disappointingly didn't happen during Saturday but certainly arrived Sunday afternoon. Then again this morning it was a bit sunny when I woke up but soon the sun really made an impressive impact. I'm now sat outside in mother's garden in the sun ( Read more... )

I've been planning on buying a printer for here at my mother's for well over a year. Nearly everytime I come down I want to print something and my mother is often paying to get photocopying done so I figured that an all-in-one copier/printer would help us both out. I had looked on eBay but they seem to be about as cheap to buy new ( Read more... )

Today I am really struggling emotionally and having difficulties knowing where things are going or what is really happening or even what I want to happen. It worries me when things are like this and I feel this way but I know I just need to work through it and I will come through the other side stronger and batter. It doesn't help that without a ( Read more... )

I made the major mistake of coming to Warwick without a phone charger ( Read more... )
