like old friends

on wednesday i took mum to chiropodists.  who  is  very pleased  how mums toe is looking,the infection  seems to have cleared up,my dressing  it every  day  has obviously  done the trick,although  the  toe with  the  gout  in bad,is  still very  sore,she had to cut  the uric acid crystals  out  of it again.  but  at  least  mum doesnt have to go until july to see her again,unless it gets worse.so  one  less thing to worry about. we got home around 1.30       and  after  quick lunch i  decided  to  finally go for it,and get  all the hanging baskets and containers out of greenhouse  and  into  their places.   all looking  good  now,growing away  madly.   and  my  house  looks  great  lol.   afraid today  i bought another 30 busy lizzies,so planted up another  3 hanging baskets and  2 troughs with  them.they can keep in  greenhouse until  they  get  bigger.     ok  but         watering  is  fun  lol   takes   me  good   hour  every  night,they  soon dry out      my  front faces  south  so  bakes  in  sun all day long.  i will post  pics  soon.

on  thursday  C  mums  volunteer  visitor  turned  up,as promised   at  2pm.  i  made  them both a cuppa,and  left  them  too it.  i  had  planned on going to wells,but  as  i am rather  skint,i decided  instead  to  do  the front garden,cut  the hedge  and lawn, and  clean up.       which  i did.   when i went indoors,nearly  2 hours  later  i found C  and  mum  still talking  lol        got  on  like house  on  fire.  so much  so  that  c is coming  next  thursday.        both  seem to have enjoyed  themselves,  and  mum  was  really pleased;      so  am i.   bless her,her  days are  long,and  a visit  from someone  makes  it  go so much quicker.    i  wish my  neibours,who keep promising  to call and see mum,would      instead  of promises  get  off their backsides  and  come round.    i am sure        he  said  sarcastically       it's  a  coincidence,   but  1       who  used to come round  without fail  every  2 weeks,  hasnt been to  see mum since  last  year.     just  around  the time  i found  out  it  was  MS  i  had.       now  no-one  is  so bloody  stupid  as  to think  they can  catch   it off me??  surely  not??   does  make  me wonder  though.   and  she does  seem  to  keep  well away  when i see her  outside.  hmmmm      oh  well.      thats  up  to  her.   as  for  the  old  boy  i take  xmas lunch  to,who also used to come  and  see  mum,he  also  seems  to be  keeping  away.   maybe  i should  have  UNCLEAN  painted  on front  door???   lol   kidding.        gritted  teeth  mind.

well,it's  whitsun  bank holiday. which  means         holiday  makers.        as  usual  the  roads  were  busy  today,  we  went  to fakenham     tescos     mum  to  charity  shop  to see friend as  usual.  we  went  early,and were home  just after  2pm.     now  i have  said  this  before,  but  new  readers  may have missed it.        if  you  ever  come  to  north norfolk,and  explore  our narrow  back roads,   and  indeed  some  of our  main  roads,  you will find a lot  of  these  roads  do  not  have  a white line  down the centre of the road.  many  are  very  narrow.        now,just  so you all know.      if a road  doesn't  have  a  white line  down  the centre,it  DOES NOT mean  you can take  up all the bloody  road,  neither  does  your  car  magically  shrink        so  please,   bloody well pull over        i  realise  your  nice  new  clean car  may  get  a  bit  dirty  having  to  go up  grass             but  i  stop         to  let idiots  like  you  get  by.      the  next  one  you  meet  may  not.        hence  the pile of broken mirror  glass  on  main road  through  village.   its  narrow  lol         2  cant  get  by each  other           but  they  try.  of  course  if they came  through  at  the  speed limit  which  is  20mph         maybe  they  could  stop  quicker?  oh  well,rant  over         have a lovely,safe,bank holiday.   take care all
