A BUSY DAY AT HOME..

Everything has to come out of her bedroom cupboards.. ugh.. most of the clothes are going to be packed in garment boxes and stored, the works are only for three / four weeks and she'll be working the allotments most days so she won't be needing or taking a lot of clothes with her.

But her shoes and bags etc are all staying here, so they had to be transferred into that poor back room. It gets worst by the hour! She, not so quietly, dreads the thought of the task of putting her home back together and just prays that they leave it as dust free as physically possible.

Her office cupboard had to be packed up, her fancy printer and main frame computer will stay here but the rest of the stuff has to be boxed up, likewise her books, discs and dvds, the television will be wrapped in a sheet and put next door.

The good news is.. she's under 9 & 1/2 stone! And that she's now received the date for her Aorta UltraSound. Now, if only she could sleep! But sleep, for her, is pretty elusive. Boring when you're scared and those sneaky, worrisome thoughts start whispering to your brain in the dark.

OI VEY.. is what I say!

Ok, what nice things have happened? The three sweet girls upstairs gave her a birthday tea party on Friday with two little cakes, a lemon and a chocolate. I wasn't allowed anywhere near the chocolate one but nibbled a fair bit of the lemon one which was very scrummydumptious indeed. I have never seen a cake before, they're like Golden Autumn Raspberries that I hear about but never actually get to eat!

And she had a fun thing happen on Saturday morning! She was down in the market and stopped to look at a 'junk' jewellery stall and saw.. to her absolute amazement.. a pair of Tiffany Sterling Silver hoop earrings! For no money.

Being her, she picked them up, they were very tarnished, and said "What's your best price?" The man, who hadn't a clue as to what he'd got, said "I'll take £4.00", so that's what she gave him!

She caught a bus home and cleaned them, put on different clothes and a bit of face and walked into Tiffany in Sloane Street with them and asked for a new travelling bag for her 1997 727 Fifth Avenue earrings. And asked the nice assistant to give the clasp on one of them a tweak.. they were duly tweaked and treated to a new bag..

They, therefore, were authenticated. People should do their research and not be idle! Fancy selling them at £4.00.. silly man.

Not a lot to report otherwise, we hope you're all well and enjoying your Summer, if you are having one? Ours is decidedly iffy.. we have only got another six weeks left and have yet to see any real sunshine or feel warm! But she won £25.00 on this weekends' lottery with three numbers. So that pays for a bit of gas.. yes, there have been some very cold and damp days. Very dreary indeed.

She has to take her proper camera to a Canon stockist tomorrow, it was very happily taking lots of photographs, with new batteries in it, when suddenly it said 'Change Batteries' and died.. and it won't start / go on again! Grrr.. wretched thing.

GeeGee Parrot.
