Good day Bloggets. It’s pouring with rain, it’s belting down
on the roof of our conservatory and guess what? The dogs are out on their walk
with June. Just after I have vacuumed the floors and steamed them too. Think we
may be getting filthy dogs back… Teen out for the day but I think they have
gone shopping in a centre so will be dry. It was five when Shamrock went home this
morning. I thought we had blooming burglars smile.
Whilst waiting for the dogs, we were listening to the radio
and in interview was a wonderful inspirational man called Quincy jones. He was
born in 1933, is an American record producer, conductor, arranger, composer, musician
and more. One of the best things I have heard for a while he said was.
“Kids want to be what kids see” He was saying that his
father was a gangster. He took him to a huge house where there were loads of
gangsters, and in one of the rooms, there was a huge white piano. He looked at
it with such desire and in the other room, was his father looking at guns. His Father
called him over to look at the guns and he felt the pulling towards the piano.
He knew as a child, he had two choices, go the same way as his Father or start
a new in music. Thankfully he chose the right thing as we have all been gifted
with his talent!
Then Hub put the cricket on and that was my call to leave
the room and write to you all. I just don’t get cricket. I like the thought of
attending a match if I could see. But for the cups of tea and the cucumber
sandwiches with the tones of the cricket bat hitting the ball and the fragrances
of the lush grass, whilst the heat of summers shine down on us. In our
conservatory on a wet day with a coffee and a biscuit doesn’t have the same
appeal.
We asked teen to help with the boarding passes as we had to
print them off ourselves. Well sadly that wasn’t easy, so between Teen Hub and
myself, we took three hours to do them. Those who are blind, unless you have
sighted assistance, never ever travel with Ryanair as the process is dreadful.
Even the fact when you register with them, there is a picture of a code you
have to write in and it offers you no audio option. We printed the passes off,
after Hub realised that we had not ticked one button last week to book seats,
so we had to start all over again. Everything but our passports, they had been
excepted. Then when we printed them off, what did they say? Were they really
boarding passes? Bits of paper to Hub and myself. I pray they are. Then it told
us on line to fold them one way so many centre metres, then fold them another
way so may cms. Oh my goodness. Our hand luggage can’t be more than a certain
size I think it’s 55cm and ladies are allowed a handbag which is really tiny.
Just enough to hold your passports. Please God let it all be OK and we don’t
get to the airport to learn we don’t have what we need? We were even told
online that we had to go to the flight via the back stairs. Haha. Talking of
flights, I was reading the news before and I learned that two American United
airlines pilots have been arrested as they were about to fly from Scotland to
America, New York I think, under the influence of alcohol. Shocking. I’m sure
they will never work in such a job again. I blooming hope not.
My left eye today feels like it has been sat on by an
elephant. I don’t know why we are blind
but have to also suffer with pains?
I’m making baked
potatoes with cheese and bacon for the boys for dinner. With some salad. So
nothing too difficult. But first have the ironing to do, then going to sort out
clothes for our holidays. That will be a challenge. I have no plain skirts if I
had it would be easy to match, but one of my skirts is cream with orange swirls
on it the other is black with red flowers on it and my other one is green with
cream splodges on. So one colour that will match all of those skirts, is cream,
but the cream has to be lighter than the cream in the skirt. Guess what one
colour top I don’t have? Hehehe. You guessed it, cream. A plain black will go with two out of three
and I guess a plain white for the cream and orange, or a taupe. I have a red
top and a green top for the skirts with those colours in, but they are a total
different shade to the colours I have. I’m just a fuss pot, right?
I haven’t lost a single oz. for five days but that is my own
fault, because I have not been on the treadmill for five days. It was
interesting yesterday if you have an IPhone and you go into health, you will
see how many steps you have done throughout the day. Gosh mine are shocking,
even yesterday all the walking to our town and back, I only did just over 1900.
I think something must have gone wrong, as no way it should
have been so low?
I have just ordered a bag for our French bread for when we
go on holiday. It was just over £4 with free delivery and you can get it for a
lot cheaper if you don’t want it next day. It was from good old Amazon and it
is a cloth bag especially for long begets it’s about 30 inches and has a good
solid string tie at the top. Because where our house is, is three quarters of a
mile along the beach to get to the shops. I don’t fancy sandy bread. Even just
carrying it out into the streets without a cover doesn’t make me want to look
forward to eating the bread, but clean arrival to the house I can’t wait. With
the delicious cheese from the markets and the huge olives, I’m going to be in heaven.
With the sounds of the ocean in the near background and the pool in our garden,
I really can’t wait. My one week a year without a trouble.
I hope…
I asked teen to possibly take us to the shops to buy some
new clothes for Hub, but sadly, no chance of that happening. Never mind, he
still has some tops that look OK. It’s a good job I guess. I pray one day there
is a cure for blindness, then we will never need to depend on anyone. People
say we do so well. As I keep saying, we have no choice, there is so much we can’t
do. Browsing around shops is one thing that is impossible. To go to a shop to
buy a few things is fine, we can do that but not to go to many shops and
clothes shops are the worst. It has been six years since I went clothes
shopping apart from two things. But I wait for that one day to come when I will
shop till I drop.
Later with love and a pray for a breakthrough in stem cell
please? For blindness and other dreadful conditions. X
