Good morning Bloggets. Hub up with the birds today off to Scotland.
Working of course, not pleasure. Our Son off to work at a normal time and me,
well as always, I popped to the shops today it was a beautiful fresh morning.
Waggatail was a great guide and got her reward when she returned. A large dog
biscuit. You have no idea how she is getting back home. It’s really funny. I
tell her when I have reached my last destination and completed my mission,
haha, to go home and get a biscuit. Suddenly slow walking little Wagging one
finds her legs. Her whole back end wags all the way and her solid little tail
beats a drum against the wind. She wiggles winding her way home.
Waggatail gets in the house and goes straight to the
cupboard where all our dog’s things are. I can’t believe that we have a full
cupboard just for our dogs. And, that’s not including what we have in our
outside box. She knows that is where I get her treat from. Then, she is ready
for more, she wants to go out again and I can’t work out whether it’s because
she is bored in the house, or, she wants to work again because she loves it,
or, and I have a feeling that it could be this one, just an inkling. She wants
to get to a place, so she can come back home and get another biscuit. Hmm. One thinks
it could be that one, but after a five minute cry, then an over ten minute protest she didn’t get back out,
she then collects every toy that has been left out and dives on them all scattering
them all over the place. She goes to her bed and sleeps as if she has done a
full day’s work in London. Trains, tubes and busses. Busy roads vast buildings
and so many people to avoid. Well, no not quite Waggs, but the way she sleeps,
is as if she has done all of that.
The little Fella has had an obsession with one of Boy
Wonders socks. Only the one. Firstly, BW naughtily took LF upstairs in his
room. He let him down after a while and only apparently because BW herd Wagga
crying at the bottom of the stairs, because my, dog, is a clever girl and knows
she isn’t allowed upstairs… unlike Hubs
naughty little Fella. Smile. Well, after a few moments BW felt guilty and came
down to see and make a fuss of Waggs. Only to see LF in his bed with a smile
only he can do. There is no smile like it. Close inspection, BW noticed that LF
had something in his mouth and on demand, LF gave BW his white sports sock.
The next day when BW came home, he found LF with the same
sock. I said you shouldn’t put it on the floor, put it in your washing basket. He
said he had, so out of all the socks in there, it was the same sock? Well a
couple of hours later the same sock was retrieved again but this time only half.
Where was the other half?
Oh, no, and I’m on doggy doodle day tomorrow. That was my
thought, well that was yesterday and the dog run has been cleaned but I didn’t
find a sock.
Talking of yesterday, well we had a lovely time. It was my
loves birthday. Shamrock and Boy Wonder went shopping for his gift and cards.
That’s my boy, last minute Charlie.
I started cooking and preparing food from 10 in the morning
and didn’t finish until five in the afternoon with a half hour break. Gosh we
had a feast and it was great to see Sham and BW enjoy their little party. Hub
came in from work and we all sang happy birthday to him. It was so cute. I played
Stevie Wonders Happy Birthday haha. A cringing moment for Hub. We ate laughed
and lived through yet another year of my Hubs life. he is now 49 the old so and
so. Smile.
I made curried eggs. I boil large eggs, free range of
course. They have to be large. When cold, half them and remove the yolk. Put
the yolks in a dish add mayonnaise and a small amount of curry powder. Mix all together and refill the eggs. I made
battered onion rings, small pastry parcels with ricotta cheese spinach and
sundry tomatoes. I bought frozen mini Pizzas to cook and bought some spicy
crackers and lots of different kinds of crisps/potato chips. I made egg mayo
sandwiches and tuna rolls. I did cheese and tomato bread rolls and cheese
savoury sandwiches which were grated cheese, onion, pepper mixed together. I
think to Shams shock, there was no meat on the table which is unusual for me as
I normally try to cater for meat eaters. If Boy Wonder wasn’t’ dating Sham, I am
sure he would be a vegetarian again, this morning he threw away his bacon sandwich
for breakfast, saying he couldn’t eat it for the animals. He was a strong vegetarian for most of his
childhood, his choice, but started to eat meat when he was 13/14. Again, sadly
his choice. But since then he hasn’t really been a red meat eater. I pray one
day he will really care for those animals again and go back to being the
wonderful vegetarian he was. But as long as he is with Shamrock, that won’t be
happening.
I made some chocolate crispies and bought fairy cakes and
small shortbread biscuits. Hubs birthday cake was coffee and walnut. It’s his
favourite. Oh, and there were warm cinnamon mini rolls too with marzipan
inside. They are delicious. We were all very full at the end of our tea party.
We had cups of tea and a glass of Prosecco. I put a vase of yellow roses on the
table and a nice table cloth. We used a two teared cake plate for the cakes and
for the first time I used a very nice cake slice that I always kept in a box in
a cupboard, but I am at the mature age now where I am going to use my nice
things. Our wills are written and BW is not going to appreciate crockery.
Sham was so kind to Hub yesterday. She bought him a lovely
gift and card. Boy Wonder is so special on birthdays, he is so kind and sweet.
He bought his Dad a lovely gift and card and he thought about it too as it was
tactile and had in large writing that was embossed Dad.
Shamrock is so alive and talkative. It was so nice to have
them with us and our tiny family were complete.
Hub phoned our friend Vivi to say thank you for her gifts.
She buys him posh coffee he loves it. A dress shirt for work and a bumper pack
of socks. Beautiful clothes from Boy Wonder and Shamrock and I bought him a new
posh electric toothbrush. I say posh, because only after buying it, I realised
how much the blooming heads were for it. Oh my, for four of them. £25 that is
shocking, right? So, you know I looked at lots of toothbrushes and I picked
this one because it was one of many that didn’t say you can download the ap on
your iPhone to use with your toothbrush, I mean, some were saying you can look
at the graph on your phone and it will tell you when it’s time to stop brushing
and when it’s time to change your heads on your brush, really? As if we can’t
tell that. Also, it was all visual and this one vibrates every thirty seconds.
It’s a sonic toothbrush whatever that means. Also, I got him some earphones he
has been asking for for years. And, we are off to the theatre it’s a west end
production I am looking forward to that the only thing is, it’s the same day as
my brother and sister in law are coming through. But they said they had
something to do in the afternoon, so they are coming in the morning, I hope it
will be enough time I’m sure it will be OK. I’m looking forward to the production
but at the same time anxious as it’s a theatre we haven’t been to before. Our
Little Fella will be coming too. He has been to the theatre with us before and he
has been great. The production is audio described oh wow, that is so good. We
wear earphones and a live person narrator, just speaks when there are gaps in
the show, before the performance we are told of the stage setting and what the characters
would or will be wearing. I have only been to one of these kind of shows and I was
so tearful just how much we miss as blind people and what a huge difference
these kind people make to our lives. I’m super excited as is Hub.
He said last night that his birthday was perfect he had everyone
he wanted there, and that was only us, but he was happy and that made me happy.
Our friend Tracey send a lovely message too. I was touched
by her words. Next year will be his big 5 0. Gosh, we are getting old. My mind
doesn’t feel my age. My body doesn’t either. My mind, feels about thirty. My body?
Eighty. Seriously. I’m not joking. It’s worrying.
OK, my next blog, something that has really blown me away
today, and I’m not talking about the wind outside. Something that totally
shocked me. Coming up.
