  1. Kittycat

    Whats it got to do with work who you are seeing. The only people it involves are you and the person. Why is he so keen for people to know ? Is he insecure about your relationship. Id spend a little less time worrying about who knows what and why and a little more time enjoying a relationship. Being part of a couple isnt living a lie if you are happy, its only living a lie if you are NOT happy.

    It looks rather harsh what Ive put but its not intended that way. I choose not to be in a relationship at all so you are doing better than me lol

     

    Hope things improve Owl

  2. Meet Boris, my new friend :wub: He's an Aberdeen Angus bullock.

    He's got some sort of lesions all over his face and neck :( I've emailed the landowner to tell the farmer that a few of them have it.

     

    Boris likes a scratch between his eyes. He doesn't realise how strong he is cos I was doing it today and he butted his head into me and nearly knocked me over, bless him.

     

    This is one of Boris's mates making friends with a baby cow which has recently shown up in the next field :wub:

  3. RMF : I have a meeting with my boss tomorrow morning. I actually haven't spoken to him for a week, since the meeting when the announcement was made. How spineless is that? Will see how tomorrow goes - I have a sneaky feeling he may send me home on gardening leave and if he does then I've cleared my desk out in preparation.

     

     

    I think its disgraceful how they have treated you

  4. Took Louie for a walk and a white van was coming up the road and the driver was wearing a Mickey Mouse mask :confused: Hows that for random lol

     

    Bank robbers for sure !

     

     

    I would have been scared stiff in that situation, Alex. Well done you and your dogs for keeping calm.

     

    I did go to the canal festival which was lovely and had a narrow boat trip up the canal and walked back. On the way up we were discussing the complete lack of waterfowl except for a heron, when last year there were many families of duck, coot and moorhen. On the stroll back, I discovered why. A mink came out of the water and crossed the towpath into woodland. There were a couple of people fishing and I asked them if they had seen it, and they had but didn't know what it was. I explained it was a mink and said I hoped it was the only one because if they start breeding they can clear everything else out including water voles. Then it appeared again followed by 4 youngsters and they all dived in and swam to the other side. I said this is very bad news and no wonder no waterfowl had bred. Then this young woman who was fishing went ballistic and said "They are only little babies, why don't you leave them alone, they have as much right to live as you, I believe in animal rights but you hate animals and just want to kill them etc etc." If I could have got a word I would have explained the mink situation as she obviously had no clue that they are not native, but she was tearful and really distraught. Never argue with a hysterical woman with bucket of maggots in hand.Thought it strange that such a keen animal rights person was angling, but there you go. So off I went feeling like an evil monster and had a chat with the canal wildlife team who had been wondering why all the resident creatures had gone. I hope the mink don't take over any more of the canal. They are beautiful, just in the wrong place. There is nothing except them and a heron on 3 miles of waterway. :unsure:

     

    Wispa had to stay at home, as a towpath with cyclists and dogs is no place for her. Good thing too, Wispa v angry mink mum eeek! So will trundle off into the woods in a bit and hope I don't manage to offend anyone else. :confused:

     

     

    Sounds like she needed offending. Just think of how much wildlife has been ripped to bits and eaten by the mink. They clear everything in thier path. Im sure someone else who needs offending will appear soon and you will forget all about the old one !

     

     

    Started walking through the bullock field this morning but the bullocks were blocking the way. That was fine, they ignored us yesterday when we walked within six feet of them, so we'll just go round them. Bullocks had other ideas and started walking towards us, so we side swerved through the stile into the cow field. The bullocks were very inquisitive, so we stood the other side of the stile looking at them. They were very interested in the dogs. The one with the white face is the ringleader :wub:

    Next thing I know the cows are flanking us on the other side and we got caught in a pincer movement between them and the bulls, so we beat a hasty retreat. The cows were only coming to see their mates but I didn't want to get caught in the middle of them with four dogs.

    (You can see the stile in between the middle of the cows and bullocks.)

     

    The cutest moment was when Taffy and a bullock were literally nose to nose sniffing each other :wub: I don't know who was more shocked. A couple of years ago he'd have been chasing/barking if I had him that close - he's come such a long way with a bit of training and I'm so proud of my boy :wub: (ETA: Taffy was one side of the stile and the bullock the other, I wouldn't let him run into the middle of them).

     

    Well done Molly and Glen :flowers:

     

    Cows are such entertaining animals. They mean no harm but sometimes the devil takes over

  5. its the first anniversary of my mum dying today,so very emotional

     

    but gone and done a rehoming, mum will be pleased.

     

    so upset neither son could just send a text

     

    Perhaps they are trying not to bring attention to it so as not to upset you. Typical blokes getting it wrong

  6. Fire Brigade finally decided to make a claim against me for accident on 7 May. Didn't notify me as they said they would, just went straight to insurer. As over a month had passed I didn't think they would claim. All they told my insurer was that their vehicle was stationary and I hit it with my roof rack. Having heard my version, my insurers will try to get knock for knock but I bet they don't win. Stupid thing is if I hadn't moved to give it enough room but stayed where I was and the engine had hit me I would be in the clear. Oh well.

     

    Dear god Pheobe,

    Not even I have upset the fire brigade. You wernt carrying Geraniums at the time were you ?

  7. Congrats and empathy where needed.

    Glad you managed a nice walk Alex. Ive got 8 pigs right outside the front door and one frightens Bojangles. He only goes for a wee when he has to. He loves it when they are all asleep and he has his yard back. It wont be for long and I dont think the pigs get how nice he is to them. Its not nice when your constitutional gets messed up

  8. Timmy has for the past two mornings woken me up at 4 am ish by trying to climb inside my skin. I've moved him off me, but he keeps coming back and then just when I'm nodding off, he moves and wakes me up again. Little git.

    Bojangles started doing this to me. I started getting desperately worried that he was going to die of something terrible that I hadnt spotted in time. It transpired that actually it was me that was ill. Every time I had an infection or flare up he would damn near sleep on top of me. One op later and he is back to sleeping on his own side with his head on his own memory foam pillow. He was at one point waking me up getting as close to me as he could but now its peaceful. Might be worth getting a check up Alex

  9. guess what? ASTI team finally called me, about an hour ago thank heavens I haven't needed them. Told him I wasn't impressed and will be telling my GP about my experiences on Weds...

     

     

    Its disgraceful that a service that is so needed is treated with such little commitment by those that provide it. In this day and age when more and more people need help it seems less is provided.

  10. Just read back over the past 3 days :GroupHug: :flowers: to those of you going through tough times at the moment - we should form a club.

     

    I've been offline since Tuesday, had to go back to Wales original plan was to meet my brother at mums Tuesday, go through her documents etc then go get the forms from the hospital so we could register her death, got told that it was possibly being referred to the coroner, which was a shock, so all we really managed to do was go through everything (which was fecking awful) and agree to meet up again when we heard some more, Wed I went shopping with my MIL to buy something for the funeral whenever we were able to actually arrange one. That was tough and I'd just walked out of the shop when my brother texted and then phoned with news which I completely misunderstood and thought he'd arranged for my aunt and him to go to the funeral directors and leave me out of everything - I reacted very badly. My MIL had to half drag me into the nearest cafe as I was a complete mess I didn't even know where I was.... anyway we eventually got that all straightened out, so today me and my brother registered the death (no coroner needed thankfully) and arranged the funeral - that was another shock, they wanted £1,000 deposit there and then, thank goodness my brother had his credit card with him. I spent most of the day at mums just me and my brother, and eventually got home a couple of hours ago, and I'm knackered.

     

    Because we didn't know how long we'd be there I took Ferro with me as well as Nog, thats the first time shes been in a car since the day I brought her home, not only was she totally unphased by it she seems to have really enjoyed her little "holiday" in the carrier, shes perked up no end and even started to talk to me a bit more.

     

    It must be very hard dealing with it all as you were so close.I hope you get to give your mum the send off she deserves.

  11. My brave mum lost her battle this morning and is now reunited with my dad, I am absolutely broken hearted just spent the last 48 hours at Heath Hospital with my family keeping vigil overnight in ICU but she was just to weak to carry on even though she really didnt want to go - we thought she'd won her battle against the cancer but it was not to be. I don't know how I am going to cope without her, I spoke to her every day without fail ... and today we said goodbye for the final time, I miss her so much already dont know how I am going to make it through this, I love you mum xxx

     

     

    Im so sorry Snow,

    She was as lucky to know how loved she was at the end as you were to have her as a mum. :GroupHug:

  12. OWLS WEARING A FECKIN APRON !!!!!
