My sister and I went to the theatre tonight to see a reboot of the 1985 Charlotte Keatley play My Mother Said I Never Should
It's a story of the life, milestones and regrets of four generations of women from North Western England and isn't a bag of laughs which is strange given the area in which it is set
It was, however a nice treat and one I shall reciprocate with a night out at Chester's Storyhouse Theatre soon.
My sister is good company at the theatre , she's good at the pithy one liner in reviews
When I got home , I did that nurse Glasgow Coma scale neurocheck on Winnie as she waved her fat paw very slowly in the air at me from her resting place on the couch.
She passed.15/15
And how, may I ask, do you check a bulldog's grip strength?
ReplyDeleteJaw chrush ........I make my own rules
Delete15/15,absolutely stellar!!!Nice that you and your sister got out together,n'nite,Mary
ReplyDeleteWin for Winnie!
ReplyDeleteCatching up with you John, after a week or so of moving house and setting up internet access. Your story of the silver tankard has made me tear up, my dear. I am glad to hear Winnie is still smiling, and I hope that you are too, from time to time. Cheers to the new car!!
ReplyDeleteAlison I am so glad you are still with me, you have followed me for many years my friend x
DeleteOrigin of the production's title - a playground rhyme:-
ReplyDeleteMy Mother said, I never should
Play with the gypsies in the wood.
If I did, she would say;
'Naughty girl to disobey!
Your hair shan't curl and your shoes shan't shine,
You gypsy girl, you shan't be mine!
And my father said that if I did,
He'd rap my head with the teapot lid.
Assume a standard neuro check, pupils equal, react to light etc. Good, good sign.
ReplyDeleteAwe good on Winnie glad that you had a nice evening out John.
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear about Winnie -- AND that you got out for some theatre with good company.
ReplyDeleteYes, things are looking up. Very glad about that.
ReplyDeleteLove the waving of the fat paw. Always a good sign.
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip and badger
Oh.....I thought you'd meant she'd passed over. Good on you Winnie!
ReplyDeleteGood news about Winnie; strength to her paws!
ReplyDeleteNothing beats having a nurse in the family as I'm sure sweet Winnie is well aware. 15/15 is stellar!
ReplyDeleteMy dear and dearly departed MIL said that often over the decades I've been married to her wonderful son.
Thank you for keeping us up to date on Winnie. She has been in my thoughts so much recently. How nice that you got to spend time with your sister and see a play as well.
ReplyDeleteWonderful news about Winnie.
ReplyDeleteGood on you Winnie! Much love to you and your beloved John.
ReplyDeleteOh, I do wish I could give both you a hug. I've been a faithful reader for years and it seems you've had more than your share of it lately. Glad she's feeling a bit better.
ReplyDeleteBless old Winnie. We are glad to hear that she is battling through. Give her a pat.
ReplyDeleteWell, I read this at 1:27am EST after a bottle of excellent red wine! So glad Winnie is winning! A lot of her winning is from your good care! You Rock! :}
ReplyDeleteAll those Top-Shelf treats have worked their magic. Well done, Winnie! And sisters are great company, too!
ReplyDeletewas winnie able to tell you the date?!
ReplyDeleteGreat news
ReplyDeleteKeep enjoying those nights out.
ReplyDeleteGlad Winnie continues on recovery.
Good news on Winnie, your night out and your wheels purchase.
ReplyDeleteDelighted to hear Winnie is recovering so well! What a trooper she is!
ReplyDeleteThat woman on the left looks like Cherie Blair.
ReplyDeleteHer mouth isn't big enough
DeleteI would have expected a show with that title to be funny. Too bad. Good for Winnie.
ReplyDeleteWas it a bit like A Taste of Honey?
ReplyDeleteYes..but not as good
DeleteGood news on Winnie, and enjoy the car, you cannot be stuck in Wales without one...
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad Winnie is doing well <3
ReplyDeleteWinnie the wonder dog, so pleased she's enjoying life.
ReplyDeleteWhat a tough ole bitch! Winnie that is!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonder dogs can be. Our old guy golden retriever had a stroke a few years ago. His face is now lopsided (the stroke side losing muscle and drawing up rather than drooping down) but we are delighted he's stayed with us all this time and enjoyed himself, too. His behavior with other dogs immediately changed. He became more submissive as if he recognized he could never hold his own with other dogs, but he gradually became better oriented. Wishing you and Winnie the best. And congratulations on the car! I'm just catching up on a few days' worth of posts.
ReplyDeleteGood news . . ,
ReplyDeleteGreat sister!
HOLY SHITE! I'm in California. When you said "she passed" my HEART STOPPED. I thought you meant she passed away. Imagine my relief when I read the comments and realized you meant SHE PASSED THE NEUROLOGICAL TEST!! Praise God, you don't need anymore grief right now.
ReplyDeleteWinnie's resilience is amazing. Löng may she reign over her minions :-)
ReplyDeleteHaving read this I believed it was rather enlightening. I appreciate you spending some time and effort to put this information together. I once again find myself personally spending way too much time both reading and commenting. But so what, it was still worth it!
