Hello everyone
Just had to share this beautiful pic of a goose keeping a very protective eye on her goslings taking their first steps. Its only what we try to do with our kids isnt it?.
Hoping everyone is as well as possible and liking it better now its cooler!.
MistyX
Lovely pic. The goose and the gosling are smiling at each other ❤️ Weather here has been cooler here recently which has been nice. Today was a little too cold though. Never happy are we? 🤣 All safe and well here. Hope you are too. Xx
Haha ge, no we're never satisfied re temps. At least it gives us a talking point!. We were same as you today, could do with a bit warmer!. Glad you liked the pic.Glad your all well ge and i hope you have a good week. We are too. Keep safe. Xx
cooler? it's been 13 degrees today and i'm freezing
Today we reached the giddy heights of 18 deg but thurs it was 11 deg and I couldn't get warm.in fact on the weather forecast they said the winter solstice was warmer then the summer one 🤔x
One more week of mediocre weather then sunshine which we love but only with our shades, sunscreen and sun hats on 😎
Or Sat indoors looking out of the window due to the buikding work I can't put my gazebo up to be outdoors x
probably was here too. got some sun today so it might warm me up a bit
Yep, pjs back on!
My youngest gosling becomes a goose in 4 weeks time although he's not willing to leave the nest just yet x
At what age does this happen?
Oh I'm sorry I didn't think when I worded that one 🤦♀️ .... 18 lol. I was referring to the bit about our own kids.xx
Honk honk 🦤can’t find a goose but Hope this DODO will DO 🥴
Yep x
Oh how lovely spanielmadlady. I bet your keeping a close watch on him.lovely you have the real thing!.😀
I thought how lovely the pic was and how it could do well in a photographic competition!.
I hope your keeping as well as poss. Xx
Sorry misty I didn't word that very well 🤦♀️ ...I was referring to the bit about our own kids my youngest turns 18 next month .I'm ok thank you plodding on picked up some crochet for the first time this year.fatigue and pins and needles have been really bad but seen daughter and grandchildren for first time since Aug .How's the foot ? I hope it's continuing to heal and you are behaving and not over doing it xxxx
Haha!. Well worded spanielmadlady and i took you literally!. 😀Is it your son whose art was so good and you showed us a few weeks ago?. Hope he enjoys his birthday and lovely you've seen other family now after such a long time!. That must have been so special.
Well done with the crocheting as its not easy to do.
Foot has healed really well thanks for asking as ive been very good and obeyed instructions!.
Ive suddenly developed nerve symptoms and pain in the same foot in a different place!. Luckily ive got my op review with surgeon this week so i can ask him!. They did warn me i could develop a neuroma which this could be!. 🤞 they can help it.
Im also waiting for my right leg injection treatment so am in a lot of pain!.
Do have a good week and keep safe. Xx
Yes it is.ive been to visit a Stone workshop and they are going to laser one of his drawing onto a piece of polished slate for me for his birthday hopefully all being well his sister ,Oh and children are coming for the weekend before as my daughter is on nights on his actual birthday .I'd like to make his cake as I made his sisters but it will depend on fatigue.despite knitting for 40+ years I couldn't Crochet but taught myself a few years ago I find it easier then knitting when my hands are sore as you hold less weight...anyway I'm on with a baby blanket and might post if its good enough.Pleased foot is healing well.fingers crossed surgeon is happy next week and they can help with other issues.sorry to hear of your pain ...i hope you can get some relief soon.
Continue behaving big hug 🤗 xxxx
Thank you spanielmadlady for your lovely reply and good wishes for thursday. The Orthapods said they can 'fix ' this problem if it is a neuroma which i think it is. Its very painful!. Your special birthday present sounds lovely so would be lovely seeing photos of that and your crocheting. It really helps lift us all on forum.
I do hope all your family can visit and you all have a lovely time.
Its fantastic how you learnt crocheting and im glad you find it easier than knitting.
Have a good week. Xx
I hope they can as we have very little family left now ...all the extended family have passed away so there will only be 7 of us in the garden weather permitting but I do have my gazebo which isn't up this year due to building work out my back.Let us know how you get on xxxx
Keeping 👌🏻spanielmadlady that your family party goes ahead and you all have a lovely time. Hope the building work is done in time. I will let you all know how Thursday goes in this week's pic. Thank you for your good wishes. Keep well. Xx
Building work wont be finished so ive commandeered my mums garden .she's nearly 90 and keeps cutting the grass for the gazebo going up even though it's 3 weeks yet ...I've told her we will do it x
Oh bless her spanielmadlady, mum's really can be the best for support!. She obviously wants to help!. Xx
Beautiful photo as usual Misty. How is your pain lovely? Xxx
Thank you cecily, I'm glad it was another hit!. Pain is strong but I'm glad I've got op review at hospital this week. How is your knee?. You must be up to the time by now that they gave you?.
Have a good week lovely. Keep safe. Xx
I am sorry about the pain. Sad isn’t it that the first thought on waking is what hurts today?🙄. I am a bit concerned about my leg . If I stand for more than 15-20 minutes I get really bad electric shock type pains in my knee. I went out for the first time on Friday other than the hospital and just walking for a few minutes back and fire the loo I seem to have pulled the hamstring again. It is three months next week so I really think I need some help with it to get more mobile. Good luck with your review. Please let me know how you get on xxx
Hi cecily, that doesn't sound good at all. I agree with you re time for an assessment, but you had to find out how much you can do. Im really sorry lovely. Its so horrid being like this.
Im hoping the hospital ring this week for my right leg injections too. Ive had a really bad pain day today. Trouble is theres no accounting for it!. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
Take care and good luck for your appt. Ill let u know how mine goes. Xx🐥❤🐥🤞❤
I am so sorry. Pain drags you down. I am afraid currently I am utterly sick of myself. Sick of being sick gggrr. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for us both xxx
Im sorry about you too cecily. You have so much to cope with you must be sick of it!. Better day for us both tomorrow 🤞Xx
Absolutely lovely ❤️ Xxx
Ive been better today cecily, hope you have too.❤😀❤Xx
That is good news. I had a good sleep so feel less stiff and sore too xxx
Yay!. So pleased cecily, lets hope we can keep it up. Xx❤🤞❤🤞❤🤞❤
Hi Misty .. lovely pic ❤️. Hope you’re keeping as well as you can xx
Lovely pic Misty. Weather quite cold here in south of Scotland - had to put the heating on every evening for the last week. But sun is shining this morning with the promise of a good day.🤞 Just about to leave home for our 5 day break in north of Scotland. Packed some so warm clothing just in case. Hope all is well with you Misty. I’ll be in touch once we arrive in Strathpeffer.
Have a lovely time.
Thank you so much Villagelife. We are here now after 6 hours on the road thanks to roadworks and following a wide vehicle. But it is a lovely evening so fingers crossed the next 4 days will be the same. 🤞 Have you a nice break to look forward to? Hoping you have a good week V. 🤗xx
Another lovely pic Misty 🤗 thank u. The look on mother goose face says it all for me!! It reminds me of when my first daughter was born..it was a very long labour (36hrs) n I was off my head on gas n air n pethidine!! When she was delivered she didn't cry..she just sneezed! 😹
When they gave her to me my first thought was OMG she's so tiny...how am I gonna keep her alive? Obviously I knew I was pregnant..we'd decorated the nursery n had all the baby stuff but when she was placed in my arms I just felt overwhelmed!!
Needless to say she did survive n she's now 33!! 😹 I remember celebrating her first birthday with relish..so relieved that I'd got her through the first year!!
Thank you again Misty..you've bought back happy memories!! 🌈😽😽Xx
Im glad krazykat that this week's pic brought back lovely memories for you. It struck me too how attentive mother goose is in the pic and i even thought it c ould maybe could win an award?.
Did you go on to have other lovely gosling's or was one enough?.
Do hope you have a good week krazykat.
Keep safe. Xx🌈🌞🌈❤👋❤🌈🌞🌈❤
😹yes had another girl three years later!! Both flown the nest now 🤗Sorry to hear you're in pain at the moment..I hope u get help sooner rather than later. 🤞
Take care Misty 🌈😽😽xx
Thank you krazykat for your good wishes. Lovely you had another gosling and werent put off. Hope they didnt fly far away and you get to see them. Keep safe and well. Xx🌈🐥🌈😺❤
We’ve been binge-watching ‘Call the Midwife’ and the birth of your first daughter and your reaction has put me in mind of that. Lovely to see you back on forum again Kat or have I just missed seeing our replies? Hoping you are keeping okay. 🙏🏻 Take care. 😘xx
Thanks Spotty 🤗I've been around just not participating much..this year is proving to be quite tricky so far n I've lost me mojo...for now!! 😉😹U take care too n enjoy your holiday 💜🌈😽😽xx
Hey lovely . I wish I could help you find that mojo of yours 😒.. I do know what you mean though 🙄. Lovely story about 36 hour labour 😂.. I remember watching my niece being born (she’s 16 soon ) .. I’m so glad I watched the birth it’s something I’ll never forget ❤️. You must have been exhausted ?! Sending you a nice healing hug 🤗 as I’m sure some of the body parts will need it . Take care and be kind to yourself xxx 😻🐴
Aw thank u Tiggy 🤗 I know it's here somewhere..my mojo that is!! This whole Lupie buisness can be so tiring at times can't it? Maybe I should do a rant post n get it off my chest? 🤔How lovely that u got to be present when your niece was born!! I was present at my first grandsons birth too..17yrs ago now..n that was extra special coz I wasn't the one doing the grunting n 'calling the midwife' (my daughter used quite a few sweary words when she was in labour 🤬🤬🤬😹)
Thanks for the 🤗 much appreciated..💜n 🤗to u too lovely 🌈😽😽xx
You DEFO need to do a rant post angel 👼 because a good rant not only makes you feel better but also everyone else who feels the same 😊❤️. Yes it’s all so blooming exhausting and sometimes you just think “ can I not just get a break here please 😔?”
That must of been so special to see your grandson being born and I think it’s something everyone should see as it’s a miracle !
You put a rant on when you’re ready .. have a lovely day and let’s hope something nice happens today . Thank you for replying 🐴🐴😻❤️xxxx 🤗
Oh KK - I’ve been thinking of you and wondered if you’ve been ok? Hope your mojo returns soon as it sure is being missed on here! 🌺🦄🥰😘🤗😘
That's sweet of u to say HW 🤗 thank u 💜I couldn't respond to your recent post either coz of similarities in my own situation..gathering extra diagnosis is not something that should happen to us cutaneous lupies or so I've been led to believe..yet here I am!! Disappointed doesn't even touch it..I don't even really know what I'm feeling right now tbh?!?! 🙆 Your post resonated with me n I was going to reply with a positive story but I just couldn't get it together..that's when I realised I'd misplaced my mojo..I've not lost it..I know it's here somewhere!!
Am thinking now I'll post a rant n get it off my chest coz this will probably help me move through it n we can have a laugh about it..which always helps, in my case anyway.
Hope that you're ok HW and have settled on the new dose of pred n that you've managed to climb those ladders 😉🌈😽😽xx
Dearest KK - lovely to hear from you, and I think, there might be a tiny inkling of mojo present? So glad it is not lost! So sorry to hear about another diagnosis - as tough as we are and so used to dusting ourselves down after picking ourselves up, it doesn’t get any easier does it? I sometimes feel like a palm tree being bent double in a hurricane, I don’t actually fall over but sure do suffer a battering! 🌴 💨 ⛈
Have a rant if you feel like it and if I can laugh with you in the appropriate places , then hopefully that will help! New dose of Pred has given me a bit of extra energy to climb those ladders, so I am enjoying that, but not the 4 am wakenings! Take care of yourself KK and hopefully hear from you soon horse 🐎 🦄⭐️🤗😘🤗
Hi horse whisper, glad the steroids are helping you find your mojo again!. It's tough as you say we keep getting new stuff to deal with. It's been the story of my long medical journey so I really do understand.
I just wanted to ask are you taking the pred at breakfast time as that's the best time to take them to mitigate the insomnia effects?.
Keep climbing the ladder and you will get to the top. Xx
Thanks Misty - yes carrying on clambering, the only way is up after all! I do take Pred in the morning just after brekkie, I think the jump from 9 mg to 15 mg was a little shock to the system and hence the return to early morning wakenings; anything below 12 mg I seem to have a relatively normal night’s sleep - so looking forward to the taper! Thanks for your kind d words as ever bd hope you are doing ok? 😘🤗😘
Sorry to hear that Kat. I hope things pick up for you as the year wears on and please feel free to PM me anytime if I can be of any help or just an 👂.Thanks for your kind wishes. Weather has been great the last 2 days so hoping it stays that way for the next 2 🤞 Love and hugs 💕🤗😘xx
Thanks Spotty 🤗 yes this year is going to get better coz you've prompted me to post a rant!! Think it's best that I get things off my chest on the forum rather than boring u with my troubles!! 😹Anyway you're on holiday!! 😹Glad to hear the weather's good in the north of Scotland..it's pants here!! 🌫️🌬️☔
💜N🤗 backatcha lady 🌈😽😽xx
Holiday or not I’m always here to help if I possibly can. 🤗 But rant away on post if you prefer - it is always best to get things off your chest. I’ll have a look in a minute to see if you’ve already done so. 💕🤗😘xx
Aw bless ya..thank u 🤗 Haven't posted yet..am low on spoons n a post will be a mammoth task..n I've gotta watch my words too!! 🤬😹
Good news though today..I've ordered a new mattress n it's coming on Thursday!! 😁
Enjoy the bracing Scottish air n the lovely walks n views n I bet you're near some sea..I'm jealous!! 😹🌈😽😽Xx
Too warm today for walking far, so we are resting in the cool of the hotel after a walk around a wee Loch this morning and before heading off for a shorter walk this afternoon. That’s good news your new mattress is coming on Thursday. I hope it will encourage good sleep and thus the gathering of the number of spoons you need to put up a post. 🤞 Until then try to keep smiling Doll. 😉😁xxx
Things that help me get my mojo back…..new knickers, a foot massage if you can tolerate it, a rummage in the charity shops, watching Friends, the smell of greenhouse tomatoes, overblown rose petals on the lawn, a nice journal to make notes in, making fairy wands with my grandchildren (any under 7’s will do), sitting quietly in church or your special place, a new lipstick, warm fluffy socks and knowing others care 🧦🌹🍅🧚♀️ 📕 💄 👣 ⛪️ 🎥
🤗
😹 thank u Stills 🤗Hubby has just walked into the living room dressed for a shower..butt naked except for one sock 😳can u guess which part of his anatomy was wearing said sock? Yes it was his (insert Benny hill like whistle)!!! 😹😹
That's cheered me up!!
Yes thank u I have my quiet place under the hawthorn tree in the garden..so peaceful n I can loose all track of time..great views over the field n beyond..n I will go n sit n have a ponder. 🌈😽😽Xx
