Call out the District Nurse!

That's me! We seem to have an endless stream of illness in the family over the last few weeks and this week is no exception. This was my agenda today...

Take Ethan to school as Rachael has been ill since the weekend.

Do a bit of shopping for Beverly who is also off work ill, visit and administer cold drinks, and TLC.
Check on Jet and Sasha as they also have been off colour. I had them at my house on Tues. and Wed. ( We won't talk about the carpet!)

Visit my Dad who was up last night with tummy trouble.

Collect Ethan , play, feed and deliver him home, bath and bed.

Check on Rachael.

Check on Dad.

Call to check on Bev.

So with my back and a tummy bug, Michaels bug and Bonnie seems a little off her food today, hopefully that will be our lot for a while. Ethan would like to know why the Big Bug (gers) keep getting us?

Our family also seem to attract odd happenings. A car appeared on our front lawn on Tuesday lunchtime. It had rolled from the lay-by opposite and luckily missed my car and also Lindsays. Unfortunately it also missed the fench that needs replacing, it would have been handy to claim on their insurance. Mind you not quite as exciting as a cow on the run from the police or a jogging tortoise but thereby hang other tales!

Still, we managed a pleasant weekend away. Michael and Richard were like two little boys playing with the tractor and they also slipped in a game of golf.

off we go!

Well, at last I am feeling more myself. My back is just about recovered, just need to be a bit careful. I also picked up the nasty bug and spent a few days not knowing which way to turn IYSWIM! Michael managed to catch it too but, of course he had it far worse !



I certainly do feel grateful for my usual good health. Being stuck indoors day after day is NOT fun and I was glad to get out with the dogs for a walk. Today I managed to cut the grass and tidy up a bit but I do feel tired now so having a rest this afternoon.



There is alot to fit in next week before we go off to Cornwall for the Easter weekend. Michael will be mending a tractor with his friend but I'm just going to have fun and do some exploring. We will be based at a B & B called Cadson Manor nr Callington. Have a look at the web site. It looks lovely and we are not paying!

IMPROVING

Well, my back is improving. I can almost stand upright now and it is uncomfortable and stiff rather than painful. I'm not able to walk far without it becoming very achey but it's defineately on the mend. One strange thing that happened was that my left hand became very swollen. On Thursday night I was woken because my hand and finger were so sore. Whilst my wedding ring has been fairly tight of late I could stil move it around but on Friday morning Michael had to cut it off as is was so tight. I have never taken my ring off since the day it was put on and I found it quite upsetting, just a sentimental thing I suppose. I have been to the jewelers and they have quoted a price to enlarge it and I shall have my engagement ring done at the same time. They advised me to wait a week or so to let my finger recover.

Poor Ethan has picked up a tummy bug and is off school at the moment. Hope he won't be kind enough to pass it around.

Olney crop on Sunday, so looking forward to that and I know what I am going to do.
