yep,that WAS summer.

so much for summer heat,as i write this  its  frankly  peeing it down,gale force  winds blowing,and  it looks like  bloody november.   ah,british summer time at its  best. although it should  get out later  the  forecast for the next few days is ermmmmm    rain.  which is a shame.Wells next  sea  has their carnival day tomorrow,a lot of  hard work goes into it,and  its sad  if its  ruined  by bad weather.  still,there are a lot  of holidaymakers about,albeit  looking rather fed up and bedraggled. here in Stiffkey  we have a camp site  down near the marshes,on what was an old army training camp during  World war 2,frankly  i would  rather  keep at home lol,but  it  was  full last  saturday evening  when i took a walk.   pity them today  though.i think i would  go home if it was me.

I saw Dr.M last  thursday, he looked at lindas reccomendations  but  has advised  that  one of the 2 she wanted  me to try,another pain killer,  has side  effects which he thinks will make me feel very ill,and as at the moment  i seem to be doing ok on the ones i am on,we decided  to give it a miss.   the  other,i have been trying.     it's a nasal spray  to inhibit the  need  to go to the loo in the night,MS sufferers tend  to have trouble  "holding on",or to put it another  way,if  ya gotta  go,omg  too late  lol.      a couple of times  i have had  to  get up  in the night,quick,and  then  the  pain  in  my ankle and legs  stop me going back to sleep,so  linda thought  it  may help.not  too keen on reading  the leaflet,but i thought  heyho,2 squirts,1 up each  nostril, off  to bed        out like a light      next  morning,i was up at my usual time    5.45    omg,but  tracey comes at 7  and i do like an hour  of peace and quiet  on my own first,  into  bathroom,and          oooo     dont  want  loo.  in  fact        no  sign.    which  is  strange.         and         why  are  my  ankles  so  swollen,pain  in the  right  one  much  worse.       cut  long  story  short,i  ended  up taking  one of  mums  water  tablets,  i  rang  Dr.M   at  11    and  said,i  cant  wee,lol           ah,he  said        think   1  squirt  in  future  will be  ample  for  you,best nick  one  of  mums  diuretics.      so,spray  is  sitting  in its  box           and  its  keeping  there.     i was in agony.lol. 

yesterday  i went  to Kelling hospital,linda  asked  the speech therapist  to see me,  and  i was with her  for  45 minutes.  she  had a long  talk,and  explained  that  the left side of  my mouth is  slightly  weak,i have a slight  tremor in my  lips,and  my  tongue  is  not  quite  so  mobile  as it should be.   explains  why  i slightly  slur  my  words   specially  when tired;        or  yack a lot.      also,i  swallow a sip of water  twice,as  my  swallowing  reflex  is  weak,which  is why i sometimes get  problems  swallowing,and  explained  i  do have to be careful  with  certain  things  i   eat. all in al,she  is quite  pleased to tell  me  i dont  have  too much trouble  at the moment,and is  ringing  me in october  to see how  i am.   i notice  i slur  my  speech,but others  often dont,unless i am feeling   tired. like  now.        been  doing  bit  to much  i  think.  baked  this week,cleaned,cut  grass,blah  blah.        taking  it  easy  today,just  going  shopping  to fakenham  in a short  while  and  thats  it.

lastly  heres  a  few  pics, the  hanging  baskets  and  pots  still look lovely,and  i have  been  really pleased  how they  have  done.

i am going to add some  more  in another  entry,  just  in case  i lose  this entry  i am  closing  it.  take  care  all.
