hope you get sorted xx ah well, he was there but ....... I didnt have an appointment! yep! I stayed calm and explained him not there twice etc, so she said she would see what she could do. I got put bottom of the list, 2 and a half hours! my friendly nurse saw me, he was there last time, so I explained, and said my car was coming back soon, so he put me up the list! Ill be taking goodies for him next time. Lovely surgeon will replace 2 knuckles, could see where the car door shut on it, its squashed. so, 6 to 12 months I should have them done.

Very unsettled weather here. Cooler but more pleasant. I am having a very lazy week so far. I can't be bothered.

Was he there? I've been quiet, dealing with severe neck and shoulder pain on right side, always been a problem and I now have osteoarthritis due to wear and tear. I have some turmeric massage oil which is helping a bit but I really need to find someone local who can do a regular massage. We had some lovely rain yesterday, much needed, and seem to be moving into a cooler spell with showers.

how you all doing? back to hand surgeon today, would be nice if hes there this time

ive always wanted to live in a little village in the countryside

My dream place to live would be nearer to the sea.

where is your dream place to live?

ive always wanted to live somewhere like that. I dream about it, but too ill to do it. im on the edge of an estate, its quiet, can see trees all around so the best ill get lol

We did sometimes get cows/ who had escaped from their field when fishermen left the gate open. they left big footprints everywhere. Where I live now was originally a mining village but the pits have closed and it has expanded with many housing estates so is now a town. i do have access to paths and a large park with woods, wild meadows and playing fields, whivh Harry loves. it is often just him amd me. there is a old railway path with miles of walking/cycling routes. i do miss my home in the strath and the deserted beaches for walking the dogs.

I would love to go back to the very rural life I had when we first lived in Wales, but it's just not practical. Just lucky to have decent neighbours. Finley has accepted that the new dog next door does not respond to his love songs and now ignores her.

you could have borrowed some sheep lol are you in a town or still a bit countryfied

Yes, it was my dream home. We moved there when we retired. having two dogs, one reactive to strange dogs running up to him, it was ideal. the moment we walked into the house to view it we both felt 'at home'. unfortunately, it was not practical for me alone. it took Jim three hours to cut the grass with a big mower that I could not move. neighbours kindly stepped in but Icould not expect them to do it permanently. Also, it was 260 miles away from family which was a 6 hour car journey, due to 40 miles of single track road and the infamous A9 road. Inow live in Midlothian, just south of Edinburgh. 5 minutes away from my son and family. Other son lives in Romania.

where do you live now

wow my idea of heaven

yes, I lived in rural crofting strath- glen- on a single track road, overlooking fields, trees, river and hills. It was picture postcard. Scenery changed every day with the weather. We had pheasants, red legged grouse and numerous smaller birds visiting the garden. Deer visited the sheep feeders in the field next door to us. Our nearest neighbour was half a mile away. We had a 1 acre garden, including a wood. No street lights, no public transport but a subsidised taxi could be booked. It was a friendly community of about 100 most elderly crofters whose families had been there for generations.

did you have scenery from your windows or nearby?

I used to live there and that was my vet. A very good practice with lovely vets.

blackmajik lives there I think?

cant wait was it someone on here that lives in the highlands? the highland vet is on again. the scenery is fantastic

weather back to normal here this week. Temperatures in low teens. heavy rain around at times so not good walking weather.

how you all doing? this weather has made me il, my medicines reacting to it. when is it coolin down?

mouse has always been scared of flies, she would sit outside till I killed it but a bit deaf and slow this year. its too ruddy hot. people who like it this hot definately lick windows!

Much cooler today and slight dampness in the air. Harry tries to catch flies but never succeeds and then barks with frustration.

Definitely licking windows special in Finley"s case, usually because he is catching flies. He's very good at it, and only goes after flies. Leaves bumbles alone if they get it, and waits for me to let them out.

Wow July already. How was it for you, good and bad? You are special, might be licking windows special, lol and your loved, dont forget it Be safe xxxxxx
