I don't think I've ever seen the top side before either so well done! I've never been out of this country - saying that there's not many counties left that I haven't been in or to - and most will be the home counties I suspect! Take it steady with your back - its something you don't need to keep upsetting .... I'm off to get showered and dressed - the alarm chappie has just been to service the burglar alarm which went off for no reason a few nights ago - and then its down to mams to take her to the care home for her first spell of respite care ....... wish me luck!! Yesterday we went from 'I;m not going into care' to 'perhaps I will like it and have some company' ...... give me strength!!

Just seen your comment on the holly blue-I have never seen one with wings unfolded-they always seem to have wings folded up!!:)

Yes Rusty is stable at mo!! Back lets me know when I am doing things wrong lol......found I can still go for walks albeit at a slower pace.
Talking of Oz-its not something I would do,not much of a traveller abroad.Did a bit of travelling when younger but now happy to go on hols in this country!! Mind you mum has booked to go to Oz next year-on her own,for a month!!!! She is looking forward to it but at same time fretting about the flight.She wil be staying with her cousin who is coming over here next week for 3 weeks,she is also hoping to visit another cousin who I tracked down on the internet.He is her dad's brother's son-another cousin-who had no idea of his english family.So she should really enjoy meeting him....

Thats good news re Rusty! Oh hell sorry to her agbout the back - you didn't need that to happen did you? I've gone over on my bad ankle so its back to wearing the support again which is a nuisance as my foot is already swollen from interrupted blood supply all these years - well |I think thats why? Yes August is a rotten month for us too - Ians dad on the 10th (11 years I think) and my dad on the 9th 6 years ago - doesn't time pass? Perhaps next year you willl get to go out to Oz and visit or does it not appeal?! I'm off to bed jiggered - again - I'm going to spend this next hol asleep I reckon!!

Rusty is doing well -in fact took him to see Margaret(vet)to check out some lumps and skin tags and she assured me they are just fatty lumps and warts! She was very impressed how he looked,he is bright eyed and bushy tailed at mo!! Fingers crossed he stays that way......next blood test due mid september.
We have been decorating and I hurt my back going up and down the ladder painting-its still iffy but found I am better walking around rather than sitting too long.Mum overdid it too,she was aching all over,she has also been a bit down as it was 4 years since dad died last saturday.But hopefully she will pick up when her cousin comes over from Oz next week!!She is rally looking forward to that....

I've got everything crossed ellen that all goes smoothly - if I can make it that way I will!!!! Hows my favourite pooch by the way?

Hope you are both stronger and able to deal with the problems that may come your way after your break then......try not to worry on your hols,live for the day and enjoy yourself!!

Thanks ellen - at least they have found a respite bed so we can go. Mam is desperate to go into a home - she actually wants to go - but social services are playing cagey - they want us to find our own place and pay for it and that is prob whats going to happen cos the fight to get anything else is just too much and they know this. Folk prepared to fight are folk who are determined to have something for nothing - those of us who have been doing the job for nothing are worn down and not capable of the fight by the time - like me - they wave the white flag just before going under. Ian needs this break - he's been suffering from listening and watching me go daft ... we may both be stronger when we return .......

I am sure that your mam will be well looked after Pauline and the help you need will be to hand.I know you have not gone down this road lightly so dont be scared-take the help and know your mam is going to be looked after.......take care of yourself too x
