ellen h

Thank you ellen for the first birthday wishes, My but how time flies.

Cheers Ellen, I wish I could see some Sparrows as they are now rare up my way, plenty of virtually everything else though.

You're quite safe Ellen - I'm just a bad tempered bat when things are stressing me - I puff up and make a lot of threatening noise and gestures and swear a lot but very rarely in my life (I can think of twice in 56 years!) where I have actually gone on to implement the threat and actually not since I became teetotal which says a lot about drinking and losing one's rag doesn't it. I've always been a flinger of inanimate objects tho - my dad was and did take it out on mechanical things that got his goat - and I'm just the same. It drives Ian nuts cos he never loses his temper (I won't tell you what I call him but it begins with tight and has bottom in it!!!)(No-one should be that controlled - its why he has high blood pressure and I don't - or is that cos he lives with me and I wind him up......Mmmmm?!!!) Glad I made you laugh tho! Funny I was the only person who dared to laugh at my dad when he was in a temper - and the pair of us used to fall about giggling at how stupid we both were - but we have both damaged a variety of household 'things' thro giving them a good thrashing!

Well you should be well pleased with what you have produced so far Ellen..Im planning this wk end to capture some early sunrise images..fingers crossed..

Ah bless thanks Ellen. Glad (also whispering) your back is not doing too much singing and dancing.... Mum behaving today and hasn't forgotten how upset I got yesterday so maybe it did some good all ways round - for a short spell. Today I took it out on the hoover. I staggered about and made her dinner then looked back and saw that my work boots had dropped mud everywhere so had to get the hoover out ......... by this time I was sweating and breathless from being chesty then I got even more breathless when the hoover would not pick up so I gave it a good thrashing and threw it in the cupboard (not easy - its a big heavy Dyson but I made it bounce then winced cos I'd pulled my bad elbow again) Honest Ellen if I was a dog I'd be round at the vets for the last time! (No not cos I'm old and past it - well that too - but more likely cos I;d have bitten someones arm and leg off!!) Hahahahahaha!

Afraid I'm full of chesty flu yet again - woke with a sore throat on Wed morning and its been downhill ever since: its seems to have settled where I did my ribs in - tho I think thats just infection gravitating to a weak spot rather than starting from that point - but I'm keeping an eye on myself and will be off to the doc if I get any worse - there is no pain so no pleurosy (sp?!) or owt like that! Glad you enjoyed what began such a lovely day - and rapidly went off here in Lancs but sorry to hear about your combined backaches .... you're going to curse yourself for that if it hasn't settled down tomorrow (aghem - later today...) Mam has left the food I made and left for the two days I have been off (I don't go round on our days off - they are for me and Ian to be together). Instead she's bought choc chip biscuits and got stuck into them and yog covered brazils. She's lost more than half a stone this past few weeks. I burst into tears today and told her she would end up in a home or hospital if she carried on not helping or working with me and I threw her biscuits in the bin in temper.... not one of the better days - I'm at my wits end with her .......... still no-one said the task would be easy did they......... nite nite Ellen - hope you're already down and fast asleep .....

Yeah! Just like that - you're a laugh Ellen - gauranteed to make folk feel better!!

LOL! I'm quite fast - tho I notice I'm making a lot of mistakes - hitting wrong keys in an Alzheimers sort of way - like typing a k when I want a d and missing whole words out that I think I have written until I re-read it ........... I've been told this is fear and stress and not the bi 'A' - I'm keeping an open mind on that - I will know if it improves when I finish work and have more time to myself to organise things how I want ........... one of the easiest ways of coping with the time-out is to type your message somewhere else - like in Word on a blank page and then copy it into the message here!

Yes its come thro twice - wonderful technology - just pleases itself!!!!

Will catch up with you Ellen - hve to go to bed I was up till 2am this morning and tomorrow is mams CT scan at the hopsital at 9.35am so despite only just having finished my tea must go to bed - I'm shattered. Will be back on tomorrow night with news I hope........
