I am no longer participating in our national holidays.. you see, when it was national left handers day, I stabbed my left hand with a knife! I was trying to stab a hole in the bottom of a dog food can to break the vacuum seal so that when I pulled the top off it would pour easily.. but I grabbed a kitchen knife to stab the hole and the blade was flimsy.... so it bounced off the can and stabbed into the hand that was holding the can..(I glued it shut and it’s healing nicely now. ) I can’t imagine what I could do with a can opener?.View attachment 304335.
Oh no. Your poor hand. How is the knife? ?

Okay. I had to go searching last night for a battery for my car spare remote. So I only arrived home late last night. So here is a picture last night in the dark and then I took another one this morning. But I must admit the pictures don't do it justice.

One day he was up his ladder peeping over 5 times in 2 hours when I was working in the garden so I put my wildlife camera trap up where he would see it and pointing in the direction of their fence. He brought it up during Saturday's tiff saying that I was trying to catch him cutting my plants (gave himself away there!) and told me that I wasn't supposed to point cameras at his property - his fence. Thing is, if he hadn't been up on his ladder he wouldn't have seen it . It didn't actually have any batteries in it but it stopped him doing it for a while. It's very creepy and intimidating behaviour when he knows I live alone.
They are horrible horrible neighbours.

Good Morning All

I think the weekend is catching up to me. As I am feeling quite tired today.

Milly my older dog has been suffering with arthritis for about a year now. And lately she has been struggling to get put of bed early in the morning. So last night I decided to give her a nice massage to see if that would help her. And I think it did as she was able to get out of her bed this morning much better. So I guess she will be getting a massage every night.

Now if only I could get my husband to do that for me, I would be one happy wife. ?

Anyway have an awesome Tuesday.

I really hope so. We still need to anchor it into the ground solidly, otherwise it could be stolen. I just hope that we get enough of a chance to be able to do that, But on the other case if they really want to all they have to do is go outside and pull all the succulents out. Anyway I believe if they really want to be nasty then they must go ahead and karma will come back at them 10 fold eventually.

He’s really well! Got his first shower last night. He’s getting around like he only had a cold. Would you believe that he met a woman while in the hospital?? One of his nurses apparently shared a connection with him and they exchanged numbers. Dad told me she was from the Phillipines.. I said That was great! He needs someone beside me to take care of him. I hope she’s willing to move to the country though because I don’t believe I’ll be making many trips to Houston... LOL... ONLY DAD!!!

Oh, I am so glad and that is awesome news. I am glad that he is doing so well. And wow, he moves fast. But it is nice that he has connected with someone, it is not nice to be lonely and we do need companionship not matter what age we are.
