Last Thursaday thanks to David and Michelle Jean did some small amounts of crawling - add this to the kittens which Jean has been more than entranced by and well....
This morning she was loose on the carpet and not in her play pen - she spied the kittens and to mine and Als happy amazement, she made a bee line for the kittens on the other side of the room. She got a fair speed up too!
She got to the kittens who were stupid and sat there whilst she clumsily stroked them! I was suprised I thought she'd try and grab them but she didnt but she did get a bit heavey with them, resulting in them running away! I really thought I'd be dealing with a scratched baby but no - they appear to have a reached a mutial understanding - ie the kittens stay slightly out of reach. they all sit and watch each other;)
Today I went for a walk, this was fanastic - approximatly a year ago I was in a wheel chair or bed bound, unsure as to weather or not I was ever going to see my child.
Today I remembered looking into the uncertainty of the abyss and how I came back from the brink.
Today I rejoiced in my slow amble.
Today I was the poet, the artist, the photographer
Today I saw buety in everything
Today I was grateful that I have a buetiful duaghter and that having a potentially fatal illness ment that I was in a hospital bed with Al by my side instead of going into London on that fatful day for so many - it could well have saved all three of our lives.
Today I sought out the meaning of me
Today I felt the explorer, the geologist, the scientist reawaken
Today I said hello to lots of random villiagers I met on my sojourn upon the common
Today I hugged my duaghter and read her a story and she was happy
Today I chased kittens to help them with thier house training and they were cute!
Today felt good
Today the sun shone
Today I remembered, and felt and planed for the future
Today I felt hope
Today I was free
Today I was happy
p.s. sorry guys I was just over whealmed by the buety I saw even if I did get bitten by a horse fly thingy - I took a picture of it and of the blood afterwards - I was in that sort of mood! hence you all have to read the gushy, moppy soppy emotions!
Ok this probably isnt a good post to read if you are a)squimish b)eating.
We went over to feed the cats in the Mill yesturday when we noticed a silvery slime trail - so whilst Al was feeding the cats I was on my hands and knees searching for the culprit be it snail or slug - I was wearing my lovely LED head torch that Rob got me for my birthday, to help with the investigation. I spied something under the table and chair but it seemed it be a small rodent - a bit larger than the shrew I cuaght before but not mouse sized. So I got one of the cats spooms thinking that as it was probably something Tim had cuaght I'd put it with the rabbit I fell over earlier.
Once on the spoon it appeared to be moving so I brought it up to face level to see if it was injuried - It had not head and there was a gash along its stomache which was full of small white maggots 🙁 Now as some of you know I am petrified of maggots - snalis, spiders, toads, catipillars, snakes, scorpions, sculls - all fine - but maggots - especially meat eating maggots I just freak with 🙁 Al had to recue me but I still cuaght the escapies on the carpet - even if Al desposed of them!
Exorcist The Beginning
Sigh oh well - now we have kittens - I just hope we find any kills before they reach that stage! Oh and I didnt find the silver trial culprit either - sigh!
Now when I was little I'm sure I remember films having intermissions where you would go a loo and buy popcorn like the theatre. Al said he's sure of this too - so why does it nolonger happen?
Surely if a film is over an hr and 1/2 there should be a break some where - preferially the middle. Now I remember being cuaght out with this one when I wnet to see a five hr film at the cinemar - no break large coke etc....
What are they thinking - the last three times at least that me and Al have been to see a film we have both practiclally run out as soon as the credits start due to pressing bladder problems and one of those times we didnt even have drinks on the film with us!! (so bangs goes that solution!). Now surely they would make more money having the breaks? They take your tickets at lots of cinemars before yiou get to the bar and sweets area so no problem there plus people would finnish their food etc.. and want more?
Is it the 21 st century concentration span that is at fualt - would people loose the thread of the film if there was a break? Or is it that they would only be able to show the film say four times a day instead of five, and the extortionate price of the tickets means they would rather do that - fear that is there isnt a film starting every ten minutes they would loose customers? I dont think they would becuase you look up the times before you leave or take pot luck on what you are going to watch and watch what evers stating next. I dont mind wondering about for 1/2 before a film starts - sigh.
This post is about a week late - but the Blues Brothers Reloaded were good and I even danced with Catarina (apologies for spelling I dont know how to spell it!) and Clair. The band did start about 1 1/2 hr late but then people were tardy turing up due to the disastorous fotball. Which has me and Clair planning the next world cup song.
Poor Clair had desperatly arranged everything so she would be here with plenty of time for kick off when traffic delayed her by several hrs - she just made it in time for us to sort out some way to watch it - then we lost - on penalties as always - she made sure Jean had a thorough sporting education where football is concerned. I dread to think what words Jean might have picked up!
The weather was fantastic!!! So sunny and the sunset was pretty, add in the view from the location and it was fantastic!
The band sounded like they had stuffed up the sound desk but it turned out that all the mid range speakers were out but it wasn't the amplyfier at fualt, nor the leads etc.. it was a complete mistery - Al and Gavan failed to sort it as did the sound engeineers. Still I've heared worse from more professional people at more professional events!
The bands warm ups and sound checks were in my opinion better than the concert but thats only becuase they were playing metallica etc... Mum had a cool hat which I kept pinching - very in with the band it was 🙂
JEan apparently devoured over half a pig roast roll and couldnt get enough of the tomatoe juice I'd brought along - however she did end up covered in the tomatoe juice and Mum had a little accident with her LARGE glass of it! Its a bit scary to see your 10 month old duaghter covered in red ozzy stuff when you dont know the tomato juice has even been opened!.
My poor Brother and Michelle (his girly) their train ran late so they mossed a connection - blah blah blah - you know the normal story and they arrived just when the concert was supposed to be finnishing but becuase it was all running really late they actually arrived in the intermission!
Anyway I think everyone enjoyed it 🙂
p.s. I forgot to mention that Al and Gavan set fire to my citranella bucket 🙁 They made paper wicks and created an inferno - poor bucket - thier excuss - we were trying to uncover the wick! I had told them they could us a match as a wick as the real wick had been swamped in wax - but no! They got carried away and now the handle etc.. is black 🙁 I love fire but not if it ruins my buckets 🙁
