Oh its going on as normal! I came home from Clumber in a right state - having walked too far between finds and my energy levels are at an all time low cos my weight is sailing up. I will have to take myself in hand - basically since finishing work in April I'm not doing enough walking - I stumble from the car to a birdwatching spot with the big lens or like today I grope from one fungal clump to the next (whereas at Clumber there was a lack of stuff so I had to walk further and faster than I can manage). I just don't like taking excercise for excercise sake! Other than that - mam is as daft as a brush - but her thyroid is now under control and her weight is back up to normal. And all thos e test I had are neg for bowel cancer and the polyps I had removed after the sev uterine haemorrahge were beneign - so there's now wrong with me only bad temper!!!!! Hope you get back home sooooooon xxxxxxxxx

Sounds like fun - not been on a foray for years! Jez says there are some unusual ones on a pine tree stump back home. Sent him your love and it cheered him up - he's feeling sorry for himself! :) Can't wait for the caravan sorted out so I can go back home!
How's life going with you - you didn't say? xxx

Been out all day on a fungal foray - took Davy Crocket and met up with Lancashire Lad and his fungal friend Harry - a reet Lanky lad (that a right Lancashire lad for those that don't understand the dialect!!) who is very senior in years and a right character - to say I've enjoyed today is an understatement and I've got some pics too ........ couldn't be better! Commiserations to Jezababe - blow him a few kisses from me xxxx

Will do - speaking to him later on today:) It's turned out to be a bad chest infections - so hoping the antibiotics have now kicked in.

How's you? Naomi xx

Thanks Naomi - I did sleep well tho not enough of it and same tonight - I was going to bed almost two hours ago and things have happened on here that needed answering ....... EFT is magic - very very good magic - I had a fabulous session yesterday when my homoeopath gave me a spot on remedy and EFT for my deep seated concerns re my mam ....... my friend Joan was amazed when I came out from the consultation - she said I looked like I had had a bath, my hair and makeup done! My face and hair, skin and eyes shone apparently and I was very relaxed and spaced out!

Here's hoping you had a good nights sleep - it sounded like you needed it and lack of sleep can leave you on a funny one too! I'm glad you're feeling better within yourself too and I know what you mean about the positivity being real as I'm another one that can't fake things. However don't put more pressure on yourself by feeling that you have to be light and airy when you see her or you may end up finding it harder to be like that (does that make sense?!). I've been looking at EFT - you're the first person I know that's tried it! Acupuncture without needles - that you can learn to do yourself I'm told. What's it like?

Oh bless your heart sweetheart.Tonight I'm much improved a session this aft with my homoeopath - the right remedy - and some EFT and I have returned to my normal persona - in fact I was spaced out and it was obvious to my friend Joan who fortunately went with me and kept me awake chatting on the way home!! I've gone down like a burst balloon and back to being me and thank goodness for that - cos I was getting on my own wick let alone anyone elses! Mum I know will take her lead from me and if I am bright and breezy and see no problems then so will she .......... her awkwardness this week has been a pure reflection of me ......... the trouble is I really need the positivity to be real - I can't fake it (would make a lousy actress!) I cannot fake anything - I either am ok or I am not - there are no inbetweens and half measure with me.......... Anyhow a much improved version of me is off to bed and tonight I think I will get a proper restful sleep for once.......... P xx

Oh - I've been there and it's not a good place to be. My father planned a secret daytrip to France for a friend and me but as you say it's hard to enjoy in these circumstances as a part of you is always wondering what's happening and knowing that you are far away. You've just got to think that the break will do you good on some levels and that it will give you all the more strength to look after her when you return. All I can offer you is a big virtual hug and I'm always here if you need me - just tell Jez to get off and let me on!! :) Enjoy your holiday as best you can and I'm looking forwrd to seeing your photos :) much love xxx

Hi Naomi - yes I could feel the 'vibes' coming thro! We had the week off last week and went to the caravan but I'm at that stage where I can't really enjoy myself or feel at ease no matter whether I'm with mam or away from her. Our main hol is looking up - tha annual pilgrimage to the western isles - with a four-day first visit to Mull before going out to the isles but I don't feel like it..... my life just isn't my own anymore. I'm down at the moment and the weather isn't helping but other than that lifes ok!!! xxxx

Hope all's okay with you - been thinking about you a lot but have been unable to get on here much. Remember to take some time out for yourself - caring is hard work emotionally and physically and you can't do it without a little time just for you. Enjoy your holiday :) xxxx
