That's great Janet ;-)

Hi, do you have Kayleigh's email address? I'd be happy to give it to you if not.
Take care.

endoscopy etc seems to be 25th March - chattering teeth! Not as long as I thought though:)

that feeling of no energy wanting to do things not enough time other comitments you have know life of your own anymore.Nothing worse for pulling you down but you must have great strength of characture or you would not be were or as good as you are with that camera.#
My Energy levels were up today sun shining know Grandchildren blesstheir little hearts. So in the car went to Cannock chaseto see whatever we could. First visitors centre bird feeding station just behind it. wow everthing flying in to feed bullfinches great coal and blue tits gallore chafinches. what a feast talk of crossbills further down the chase.Then onto Brocton for the other feeding station same birds here but yellowhamers show about 8 of them. This Chap from Wolerhampton Photographic society had this tree branch with half a small log attached to it with moss on it were he put his feed in. sat in his car with bean bag and camera and big lens must have taken 1,000 photos. but the results oof his photos must be superb with that log and moss on it were the birds were landing. What a day.

I have a lady coming to see me a week tomorrow so its eggs in one basket time and just hope that they can supply what I need for mam which is basically a dinnertime visit to try and ensure she does eat something. I phoned sick to work mid morning - my chest infection isn't getting any better and I'm so tired and stressed and so many things to see to I couldn't have done my job properly today - and its no use getting shouted at by the boss on top of everything else and he does get frustrated if I'm not on the ball. I have appointments on my next two lots of days off so I'm not getting out - never mind actually using the camera - thankfully its this time of year - if this was or is still happening in May and June I will be a basket-case and it will be me that gets the white coat that fastens at the back...........!! 'Our' Blue Tits are showing interest in the box too and getting very frustrated with the flock of goldfinch and other stuff coming to the birdtable! The birds round the caravan (we have snuck boxes up in a few of the trees round and about the van) and the great and blue tits are getting very antsty with the other birds and the coal tits - well - they're always chasing and fighting each other - its amazing something so small is so aggressive - its a right pasting they hand out to each other ..........

Thanks for the emails - they cheered me up :)

The job has to go - they are about to dismiss me on a capability stage three anyway so there is no reasonable way to hang onto it any longer and frankly the way rangers work has gone over the past few years its not worth hanging onto. I will be a lot more sane without it! Our approaching hols in the Cairngorms is what is causing the most bother now and finding help for mam daily while I go away is what I'm currently trying to organise. Getting her to let someone else in or accept and eat the food they prepare or leave for her is another matter - but I'm resigned to that now - she will end up in hospital and there is poss nothing I can do about that if this disease is taking her ability to eat .... Hope you are improving rapidly and getting out this weekend tho the weather looks a bit grim here this morning? Pauline

ooh nasty - think I prefer my bad chest and wracking cough to a dose of Montesumas Revenge - your poor husband - its awful when its that serious cos you think you're going to die its the most dreadful feeling as you wonder when/if its ever going to stop.....
Not getting out suddenly as the problems with my mam escalate and our next days off like the last one's look set to be full of appointments and mither. Our Cairngorms hol is looking in jeopardy too as I can't seem to get any help for her in such a short space of time .... add to the fact that I now want to hand my notice in at work but wondering if its better to wait another couple of weeks for selfish reasons - well - its a scary time all round at the min ... perhaps 'me and him' will get out for a day on Weds - fingers crossed.....

hope you got my email and thanks for your video message, unexpected pleasure, thanks :) xxx

you better behave yourself kayleigh you are going to get a black mark against you i would hate to see you frozen.
