And on a sad note, Godmother's husband has passed away.

Blimey - that is serious!
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!!!!!
I am hoping for an appointment at the end of May - but as an NHS patient, so treated like a second class citizen, it may be longer!
Some beautiful waterfall walks not far from the area your Mum lives in Linda.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
If you have a chance- the Craig Y Nos Castle ( a hotel near Dan Yr Ogof Caves) is lovely to visit; has quite a history to it and lovely walks around it. My sister stayed there last year as it is a dog friendly hotel.
(That's not a slur on my sister's character - she had 2 dogs with her at the time
)Not far from the Penderyn Distillery if you fancy sampling some Welsh whisky!!
If only I wasn't drowning in reports that have to be done by next Friday!good morning mum, bitter sweet weekend ahead
i hope you manage to have some fun, you should meet up with miss womblyn!
Yup - that would help make a decision!!Paperwork through for both jobs daughter has been offered... nearly £10000 difference in salary!
So it rather looks like she's moving to Hampshire
Good luck to her!
It's great!
Flooring???
I have decades worth of the stuff ranging from some 50's albums which belonged to my aunt right up to the 80'sHello !
Many years ago, I used to work at Woolworths (the UK equivalent of Walmart) on the record counter selling vinyl.
I can't get enough excited about it second time around. Two words: warping and scratches
I never download music I like owning the actual albums, tapes and CDs.
I still have my Sony Hi fi system with the turntable, radio, tape decks and cd player. It's big and unfashionable but still works brilliantly.
A lot of my family and friends got rid of there's with the advent of CDs.
Mine is probably the antique of the future!

Sorry to hear this is Linda but does sound like a blessing.And on a sad note, Godmother's husband has passed away.
Hope your Godmother is OK and well supported.
Hi Austin, you'll enjoy that.There's a lot of record stores around Houston and I really love the thought of going to then and digging through crates to find music.
I don't want to think about those two words
In the UK a lot of bands are re-releasing albums on vinyl.

Oh we had Worthworth's here! I remember it and my grandma worked there and I would go visit here.
I still have all my records with sleeves on the cover. I have U2, Peter Gabriel, The Cure, Echo & the Bunnymen, New Order etc. I bought them in the 80's.There's a lot of record stores around Houston and I really love the thought of going to then and digging through crates to find music.

Probably slightly younger than me then.
My first LP was Top of the Pops 1972 and my first single was Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen.
I thought I had none of my vinyl left, but Mum found my Bat Out Of Hell (Meatloaf) LP a couple of years ago.
Most if our 80s stuff is on tape later replaced with CDs. Vinyl wasn't practical to take to university
Unfortunately the dementia is worsening by the day. I am not sure how much she understands at all. It's my 'cousin' who needs the support. My godmother needs to be in a nursing home, but social services say she can't go "unless there's a crisis"
Cousin has no siblings or other blood relatives other than her Mum. My Mum is now mothering my 'cousin' by phone and text.
It's going to be a tough ride
Good morning all. Up bright and early to head to tonight's first stop - Monmouth
Daughter has reptile wrangling to do so she's home alone
