Amazingly, Molly went to bed at 3.30 in the afternoon and didn't get up until 6am! That includes the usual milk stops every 3 hours or so, but really not too bad - we were all SO tired after yesterday.
Got up this morning feeling out of sorts and two dimensional - all of us just a bit snappy! Now, having had breakfast and writing in my blogg I felt a lot better. Having just started it for the 3rd time - snappy is winning again!!
The sun is still out at the mo (forecast thundery showers - nice!) and we have a few things to do. Washing (yuk does it ever end) and then we are getting the kids summer things out of the loft - cue thunder - put the winter ones up in the loft, and Shaun said he would help me change the curtains - hurrah!!!
Then, if the weather holds, I am going out on the patio! Yes, I am still trying to kill things in pots - I now have more things to put in - 2 strawberry plants (have got a special pot for that already apparently!), 2 cucumber plants , a tomato plant and two sets of mini plants I got from the Daily Mail - now theres a thing, they came in the post half dead! So - ta da! - I revived them in my lasagne dish! And they are fine! Its a miracle. So had absolutely no choice but to buy two more hanging baskets to put them in. And then theres a little mauve daisy plant that looked pretty. mmm. Ordered a little gardening kit from the paper too - no doubt that will come when I have finished/killed everything! I haven't actually killed anything yet, although I did spray my rose with a weak soap to kill the greenfly (as advised!!) and then noticed something was eating my herbs - so sprayed them too. Not sure if that was a good idea or not! Soapy marjoram possibly not great.......... . Wanted to buy ladybirds and a ladybird house, but soap was far cheaper!!!
Daisys sunflowers are growing and I have planted my sprouting potatoes in a big pink plastic trug/tub thing. My own mini garden on the patio! Shaun is going to make me some window boxes too - how twee is that?!?
The wildflowers outside Daisy’s playhouse that we fenced off look wonderful - I weeded out the grass and left anything vaguely pretty and it does look nice. The foxgloves by the house are huge this year and are just starting to flower - mauve/pink colour. Amazing!
I put on 2lb during the week but today, weighing day (groan), I have lost one of them (where did it go? where did it come from? it must have been a stray needing a temporary home).
PLEASE feel free to leave messages on my blogg ! It amuses me! My email is luciewilby@aol.com if you need it when you try to leave a message. I don't like the "messages 0" thing its depressing. And no, I don't offend, lifes too short. If you say something offensive thats up to you - its your problem not mine

Hi Lucie - love your blogs, they make me feel like I'm still human (or maybe we're both just mad). Sorry you had a dud call, you do manage to put a positive spin on things though (all that wasted adrenaline!). I've been meaning to say it was me who called a while back, I'll try to phone again one of these days. G nearly thru his donor workup, scary as we'll have to set a date then. I know that sounds great to you but to us at home Jessica seems so well and the scariness of the hosp bleeds recedes into the memory . . . oh well. Keeping our fingers crossed for you,

Hi! I can't remember where I found your blog (Postcards from Holland?), but my son had a liver transplant just over a year ago. I love your blog, and visit it often!
ReplyDeleteI hope the liver comes soon!
