Dead end

24/7/2017

Had a dream the other night I was driving with my husband and another car.  I'm not sure if it was a fun chase or the other car was after us anyway we turned off onto a little side road that kept getting narrower until there was only room for us and our car is quite small. Finally we came to the end of the road.  we could see that it led us back on to the main road but it was just a little gap closed with a wire fence. motor bikes came through it and I thought we probably could. there was a large house right by our side and I knocked the door and asked if we could go through by cutting the rails or something. I don't think it was allowed. I woke up thinking of my difficulty in swallowing and if the narrow fence had anything to my narrow swallow and how it was stopping me from being on the main road.

Funny things dreams are aren't they. I want my dream to point me in a direction with my life.  I don't think I've had that one yet.

Bye for now

one clash of thunder and 2 drops of rain

21/7/2917

we were promised thunder storms and at 11 pm we had one crack of thunder and about 2 drops of rain so we went to bed disappointed as we thought that was it. then at 1.30 am the skies lit up like the 4th of July in the U.S. or 'The day of the Triffids'.  I though we would all go blond from the continual light flashes which were so intense and then the thunder rolled on for hours and then the rain pored down like Noah's ark. A small village in Cornwall was practically washed away.

I'll never doubt the weather forecast again.

Oh no it's getting hot and humid again next week. My ankle is swollen and I don't feel like doing anything. I'm 9st 11 again. Aw!

Bye for now

So you think it's all over well now it is

13/7/2017

Just watched Johanna Konta play Venus Williams in the semi finals at Wimbledon and Kointa lost. She still made British history for being the first British woman to reach the semifinals in about 40yuears.
I am in a dilemma because my old college mates want to hold a reunion in London, but I'm not able to walk miles on trains and tubes carrying my luggage or even just myself. It's a sticky problem I might just have to gibe it a miss.

Aww!!!

Bye for now

The Spider trap

6/7/2017
Did you ever sing 'incy wincy spider. clibed up the water spout, Down came the rain and washed poor incy out. Out came the sun and dried up all the rain.  So incy wincy spider climbed the spout again.

I guess I'm not afraid of spiders because of this song.  I just don't like the thought of them crawling over my face in the night or any other part of me. I just feel a degree of sympathy for them thinking of them being caught up in this continual trap like a roundabout or groundhog day always in the drainpipe.

I feel like that some days.  Oh here we go again same old. same old, but life goes on and on doesn't it?
It's too hot for my liking I don't know how these Tennis players cope with the heat.  Watching Wimbledon now and loving it so far.

Bye for now

On the wrong track

28/6/2017

Now you know it's not American because there aren't 28 months in a year. That's how we brits roll.  I've been to America for a holiday quite a few times now; I've lost count and the one thing that really bugged me is that I was always referred to as English,; not British.  It got my goat a couple of times because I'm Welsh.  I don't mind admitting to being British or from the U.K., but I'm definitely not English its like saying every American is a Texan or Californian. I think the things that make me British are things other countries wouldn't get like when someone says 'What do you think of it so far?', we shout 'rubbish' Because we were brought up with 'Morecombe and Wise'.  I did that in Disneyland and obviously I was outnumbered as far as Brits go because everyone was saying to me oh no they're good. The Brits gave you the Carry on films and 'Allo, 'Allo. and 'Dads army'. Humour that only we get.  the Welsh have an even different kind of humour altogether.  It's difficult to describe in words you kind of have to be there.  Some people take offence at some things we say because they've taken it the wrong way.  Try and find some Max Boyce to get the idea.

Talking about a totally different subject I had a dream the other night that I was driving my car on a railway track and I turned where it said to turn and I came to a dead end. When it comes to interpretation of dreams, I can only see that as telling me I'm on the wrong track; but I still haven't a clue what the right track is.

9st 121bs and not liking it a bit

9/11

13/6/2017

I hate being 9 stone and 11 pounds because it reminds me of the 9/11 attack at the twin towers.
My husband has just got the news that he got the job he was interviewed for last Thursday, so he can stay home working for the most part now.
I was beginning to think that it may be a good thing for me if he wasn't home all the time because I could become more independent and maybe lose some of that excess weight that is building up every day.  It's so bizarre how quickly I have gone from being 5 stone 5 and worrying for my life to now being overweight (slightly).  I don't like it.  Everyone is voluntarily telling me how well I look, but I felt healthier when I was 6 stone.

Well, you can't win them all.

It's a hot day today for the U.K. that usually means bad news for M.S. sufferers.  So I'm trying to keep cool and hydrated, but that's a little tricky with still having some difficulty swallowing liquids.

Bye for now

What a mess

10/6/2017

Where do we go from here with a hung parliament what does it all mean? I'm glad I'm a Christian at uncertain times like these and with the terrorism. I know I stand on solid ground. when I trust in God. our church is doing a read the bible in a year project at the moment, and I find it comforting and relatable in many ways to what we face on a daily basis now.

Let's see how it all unfolds in the coming weeks and months.
