There is a lot going on in the world......according to the BBC, Britain's economic growth has grown 0.3% during the past three months, the NHS Trusts in Wales is millions overspent,and another UK soldier is killed in the war in Afghanistan.....
Closer to home Chris has secured a multi figure research bid for work and a practice nurse from Rhyl wins a national good practice award!
Here in Trelawnyd, the cold weather, sleet and snow is back, the dogs have all had diarrhoea overnight and I have spent much of the day shampooing the carpets.
Be still my beating heart....the excitement is almost palpable!
Mind you I have broken the greyness of the day by looking for rosettes for the Flower Show Committee members to wear at this year's show. The Internet has opened up a hitherto unknown world of double ruffs, knife and Box pleat, ribbon tails and personalized centre logos.
And I am in two minds whether I shall plump for gold foil or satin for the best in show rosettes......
I am working tonight, so with William still looking a little wan, I will leave the exciting world of rosettes for a brief hours sleep with my sick dog........
Not every blog can be a work of art
But, these types of blogs can show you a slice of the life of us "ordinary" folks. And, after mostly hearing about all of the extraordinary people, both good and bad, it's a relief to see that, all over the world, there are people just like us.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the term? Salt of the Earth? Thank you for the glimpses you allow us into your life.
I thought the nurse would be you! You seem such a caring person.
ReplyDeleteI was very surprised to see the exchange rate from US $ to British lb. I might be able to buy a piece of marzipan at Harods.
Also, I refuse (as I'm sure you do) to buy new carpet because of the dogs. People will just have to deal with it!
Great post!
Oh, my. Yes, it's "real life" blogging. Sometimes, it gives a better glimpse of someone than does our more polished efforts.
ReplyDeleteHope the dogs are feeling better. And I vote for gold. We are in the Olympic season, after all. :)

Poor little William. At least the rest of the dogs are well now. Baby Rocket Dog was sick 2 wks ago and I took her to the vet,since if she doesn't eat,there is something wrong. She too had diarre---(spelling)and vomited the day before. $$$ later he said it was probably pancreatitus due to the fatty(DOG!!)birthday cake I gave her.Her liver enzymes were a little up too.Sheesh.SHe was better 3 days later. Luckily(??) she woke us up every 15-20 minutes to take her outside to do her doo.
ReplyDeleteYawn...I was beat. Anywhooo, have you ever thought to get tile floors? I love 'em and have rugs strewn about to add a touch of warmth. Have a good one!
Good grief!!
ReplyDeletereads like a pretty damn good poetic piece of writing to me.
