The last couple of days have been spent visiting mum in hospital where’s she’s been now for about three weeks. She had another operation to check out why she was unable to eat but other than being told she had ‘kinks’ in her small intestine, we don’t know much else. Yesterday she [...]

Following on from the flies in the office and a discontented grumble to Gordon about how his rubbish at the end of the room was taking over, possibly concealing anything dead, he decided to ‘tidy-up’ yesterday. His things that have resided in the corners of the room since we moved in thirteen [...]

Terri and I flew up to Glasgow last Thursday on a very early flight. When we arrived it was raining so we hopped on a bus (OK, this is a novelty for us country girls) and went into the city centre. We’d taken overnight bags which at that stage weren’t particularly heavy, [...]

Mum hasn’t been too well for the past couple of days, hence why I’ve been absent from the computer. It turns out she has a possible kidney infection which has caused her to be tired with hot and cold flushes. The nurse that came to see her advised a test to confirm [...]
