When leaving the allotment last night she notice that her left eyelid was a bit sore but refrained from giving it a good rub or scratch and bathed it with Witch Hazel when she got home. There was a minute mark where some dastardly bug had sunk its' teeth into her.
Hohoho.. and what did I see when she got me up this morning? A swollen eyelid and a puffy cheek! So she ambled off to see a Pharmacist, who looked at my mum's eye and said "yes, it is a bite but I don't want to give you an anti-histamine as you're on Lanaprost for your Glaucoma" - see how nice it is to have people who know you and care!
"Go and get a couple of cucumbers, chill them and then put slices over your eye and cheek, that will make you feel much better" and home she came knowing there were two long cucumbers chilling in the fridge already.
And.. what a relief! Instantly the effect was very soothing, she looks a bit weird as she has it stuck to her cheek and eye but it is doing the trick!
Because of this, she stayed home today.. and put everything that was on top of her big dresser down onto the floor, took a duster and dusted it and all of her glass treasures and photos that are supposed to be the ONLY things on this dresser.
Several naughty things that had been lurking there were given a nasty rude shock! For if they didn't have a proper home, like a book or a cd, then they were given the elbow and put into a rubbish bag. Does stuff that shouldn't be ON your desk or dresser, let alone IN the house, sneak past you into your home?
There is now a big bag of .... in the hall waiting to go to the recycling depot tomorrow. Then she washed all her baking tims in the dishwasher, called a Rotary friend (who is an ACE baker) and told her she was going to receive a large, noisy bag tomorrow! They're far too good to throw away and she is not intending to make any bakes etc, so they're off to another baker!
The photo frames were given a dust and polish, as was her desk. Mr Bissell vacuum came out of the boiler cupboard and ate up everything, such a great machine, so much better than that stupid Dyson she put up with for all those years. This Bissell actually picks up everything first time and the sitting room carpet is off-white again, that stupid Dyson always left it as though it needed a wash!
More bids are coming in, there's a nice opening bid for £60.00 for the Gypsy tickets, £30.00 for Dear Lupin, there was a bid for £45.00 for the Champagne tea at Brown's but within a couple of hours she had received a higher bid for £60.00 and someone sold £60.00 worth of Raffle tickets this morning! So it's going well.
She's got a full-on busy day tomorrow, hopefully silly gnat bite will have subsided by then.
Pasta was for supper with steamed baby courgettes, chilli flakes and lean ham, it was a big pot of which she ate perhaps half, the rest is now in her lunch box in the fridge and will go out with her at midday.
Not a lot otherwise to report, luckily the VJ Celebrations went off without any 'incident', the forgotten army was what they were called, the war in Europe had ended with the German surrender but our boys and men and everybody else's boys and men were still fighting in the Far East. Oi vey.
