[AllthatGlitters in reply to Smilesalot]

Same to you lovely ❤️

You will need to post a photo of him for us all to see #loveanimals

[Smilesalot in reply to AllthatGlitters]

I'll try. I have old pics from b4 he was attacked.It's all different for all of us. We have fishermen around . I'm not feeling as safe. If the otters get a sniff they'll eat the new 🐟 which would be a shame. We have a short video of demon being put back in the lake..

I'll see if J can take a picture from it.

I've to use this month's money to pay for Demons ❤🤗.

How are you feeling today honey ? 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😊😊good I hope hugs 🤗🤗Dawn 😍

[AllthatGlitters in reply to Smilesalot]

Morning I have had a long sleep overnight, I was so tired and wake up feeling even more tired which I hate. Why can’t we feel refreshed like normal people?

Oh don’t worry about a pic if it’s too much hassle, just you rest, and enjoy Demon 💜

I hope you are well today?

Xx

[Smilesalot in reply to AllthatGlitters]

What's the back story with with the Swan?Has it been poorly or injured, nothing better than enjoying nature, such regal birds 🦢🦢🦢

[Smilesalot in reply to Cb1963]

Hi Cb1963,Demon is our male swan Diva our female swan.

Couple of weeks ago during the morning he ploncked himself out back but didn't chase the geese I then noticed blood on him😫.

We phoned RSPCA who took him to tiggywinkles hospital 🤗. He's been attacked by a dog 🤒. But not too badly.

They kept him to make sure he didn't have bird flu.

And now he's back yey 😍🤗🤗🤗. Dawn 🤗🤗🤗🙃😌😌

[Cb1963 in reply to Smilesalot]

Awe that lovely news 😊 thank you for the reply, cheers

[Welshcatlady]

Good morning Dawn how is Demon? Hope he wasn't too bossy when he arrived home 🦢 I love swans, we used to go to a country park regularly before Covid, and I'd take peas and sweetcorn for them, they would take it from my hand. How are you this morning? I think I have gout in my right big toe, I've had it a couple of times before, so will be phoning the GP's this morning, we go away on Sunday, so really need to get it sorted before then. Hope you have a lovely day, not too much pain, sending gentle hugs. x Lesley xx

[Smilesalot in reply to Welshcatlady]

Hi Welshcatlady 🙂.I'm sorry you've got gout. Jon gets it too.

Demon want ed food immediately lol but the RSPCA but discouraged it grrr. Now him and Diva have stayed away. They've topped up the lake with fish 🐟

So now we've got fishermen around the lake.

He's lost a lot of weight😕

It's great he's back yey 😍🤗.

We've been feeding all the birds cut corn and seed and pellets. No cheap stuff for my babies lol.

I'm v anxious with halving one of my meds.

It's a beautiful day here and had windows open upstairs!!!!!!!🤗

How are you today 😁?

Hugs sweetie Dawn 🤗🤗🤗🙃

[Smilesalot in reply to Smilesalot]

I think I'll try ur way with fresh corn and peas.How do you do it?

Thanks Dawn🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😍😍😍😍😇

[Welshcatlady in reply to Smilesalot]

It wasn't fresh I bought a bag of frozen sweetcorn and a bag of frozen peas, let them thaw overnight, mix them together, put them in plastic boxes and feed the swans from the boxes. They seemed to like the corn more, but there were other birds there, seagulls (they eat anything), mallards,Canada geese, moorhens and coots, so the food soon disappeared!

[Smilesalot in reply to Welshcatlady]

Lol. Perfect. We have geese moorhens ducks occasionally seagulls n coots 3 types of geese altho I haven't seem the Egyptian geese in a whileIt's lovely where I like but it's time to move in the next couple of years.

I'll get Jon to put sweet corn and peas 😋 on the list.

Thanks for the heads up😁😂😋🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[Welshcatlady in reply to Smilesalot]

Hope you get on ok halving your meds, I can understand you're anxious. Well I phoned the doctors and was told I could go to the pharmacy and the pharmacist could prescribe something for me. So that's what I did and the tablets seem to be working 🤞. So much easier than seeing the GP. It has been a lovely day, nice not having to wrap up warm.

Hope your day has been good. xx Lesley x

[Smilesalot in reply to Welshcatlady]

Morning Lesley🤗 ,Lol been staring at the page for ages. I'm so glad you got meds to help😊😍.

It's great 👍news.

Jon thinks I was sleep walking last night.

Had deer barking last night too🙄

What are you up to today ?

I fed Demon at 6 am.

He was polite😮lol

I've got a sharp pain in my boob muscles. Unpleasant. I have a reason to believe I'll sleep a lot today.

I think I may give the pharmacy a go myself but not today. Too stressed and exhausted.

Hope the ducklings come back again, they're adorable. I'm waffling sorry.

Hope you have a great day hugs Dawn 🤗🤗🤗🙃🤗🤗🤗😍❤❤❤

[Welshcatlady in reply to Smilesalot]

Hello Dawn,

No need to apologise you aren't waffling. Sorry to hear about your boob muscles.

Glad to say the gout is a lot better, I'm to take the tablets up to one 4 times a day as necessary and so far had only one this morning.

Today my husband (Mike) had to go for a chest xray, so got there around 1/4 past 8 and we were walking back to the car 20 mins later. They were super quick today. The doctor has ordered lots of tests because he has iron deficiency anaemia, he had it 3 years ago and had a load of tests then to try and find the cause of it but nothing found. He was taking iron tablets but then they told him to stop taking them. Now he's back on them again. So when we came back home I had to phone our travel insurance company because he's waiting for tests and results, they wouldn't cover him, so cancel that policy - only had about a month to run anyway - and try and find someone who would insure us as we are off to Lanzarote on Sunday. I tried AgeCo.co.uk and they will insure us, so have taken an annual policy out with them. I was on the phone 48 minutes because I had to tell them all Mike's medical conditions and all mine, loads of questions! I hope the stress doesn't put me in a flare, I did stay calm and didn't panic so hopefully will be OK.

The weather is glorious here again today.

Hope the rest of your day is good and you get to see the ducklings again. They are so cute. The coot chicks are so funny, they look so awkward with their wispy feathers of red and orange.
