JoesDad, Daughter and I walked up to the polling station this morning (local elections - for the benefit of those not in the UK. Yes, we have to vote in the national election next month too)

Today we went for a walk looking for water voles with daughter. The stinging nettles were horrid and all of us got stung! It's prickly and irritating!

Then I had to chair a governor meeting which really wasn't necessary, but feathers needed to be unruffled. I think the warring parties are now talking to each other again. Maybe I ought to join UN peacekeeping

If he does it again try to get a little sample of it for the vet.
Maybe it's because he's not getting enough fluids in at the moment and the antibiotics.
What about ringing the vet to ask if this is normal for antibiotics?

Thanks lyn av took him to a diffrent vet today coz I wasnt happy with the other he's tested his poop and got worm eggs in his poo so he's given him pancur and got to keep eye on him if no change next week in his behaviour he's gotta to go back and will X-ray him and do blood work but fingers crossed this worm treatment may do the job

The weather is clearly topsy turvy again. We're "soggen", as my son used to say, down south. No beer gardens for us!

However we did go to Sissinghurst Castle for lunch and a walk this afternoon. Both these "castles" are fortified farms rather than proper castles

SO beautiful!!!!!

 

[Moozillion]

high met with a low, a wee auld wuman fell and had a bust up face on way home . i did my bit, raided my bag and made a 'seat' to cushion her from the cold, sat and cuddled her while using my patter to keep her laughing... a lad fresh of the train from italy (i think) was doing the same, 40mins... no abulance!

we loaded her into a car, emotional day for me, but glad that i have seen humanity, not once but twice

You are a good man, John!

 

[Moozillion]

Just to complicate matters. She got another job offer today. The other interview last week! So she needs to decide between Hampshire and Oxfordshire

That's a GOOD problem to have!!!!! Congratulations to her!!!!!

Sorry to hear that Laura hope your dentist is able to sort you out.
I have to go as well.
The last time had a checkup I told my dentist I thought I had an infection starting under a crown - he x rayed and agreed with me but wouldn't give me any antibiotics. Now whenever I bite on the crown, my gum or roof of the mouth swells, thankfully I'm not in pain but it obviously needs attention. I'm guessing I will have to lose the crown and tooth under it, so been putting it off.

Oh, NOO!!!
Apparently infections in UPPER teeth are more worrisome than infections in the LOWER jaw. I found this out from a woman who'd had an infected upper tooth and the abcess eroded THROUGH the bone into her skull and she got a brain abscess!!!! She had to have surgery to get it drained and was left with memory problems so that she had to live with her adult daughter. That was many years ago, but I have since known of 2 other people who had brain abscesses from upper tooth infections.
If it's an upper tooth, I hope you can get it seen to soon!!!!!

Good morning all.

It's Friday again! We don't seem to have had enough days this week - probably caused by the public holiday on Monday.

Things are looking a little rocky today. My cousin has been in touch as her step-dad is in hospital with kidney problems. The outlook is bleak. He is a heavy drinker and had a heart attack earlier this year.

He's married to my Godmother (who broke her pelvis earlier this year). Her dementia is deteriorating rapidly and my cousin is at the end of her tether as social services say they can't do anything unless there's a crisis. I think a crisis is about to happen.

On a happier note, we have sorted out our travels for next week so I shall be posting postcards from the "Land of my Fathers" (or Mother in my case). We're off for a few days in Wales. We thought this through... I have family to catch up with who are prepared to accommodate us at short notice which we will mix with some B&Bs.

So the walking boots have been re-waterproofed and today we will be packing... once I've been for a hair cut; I am in desperate need of pruning
