Bad - Still living in limbo with slowly declining Mr RK and it is breaking my heart to watch him changing daily and seemingly slipping away without anything we can do.

Massive inadequate hugs RK ?

You appear on here to be holding it together remarkably well

I think we (the family) have found a new normal at the moment. We're all back at work and I visit every evening. Whilst there's no drastic changes it's a bit easier to carry on with everyday things. Am not sure if it's a weird denial. The general balance seems quite delicate - like if one thing changes then everything is going to come crashing down.

Bit deep and meaningful for a friday morning! Sorry Otters.

Hugs appreciated as always! ?

RK I'm so sorry, I can't imagine what you're going through.

? have one from here. xx

All good here I think....

This was my first week of maternity leave.

Christmas shopping is largely finished in anticipation of baby arriving on/around Dec 16th. Even my SS is now sorted!

Puppy rescue spaniel (now 13 months) appears to be responding very well to training, even if it's difficult for me to bend down; he'll be working on the shoot with H next season; I'm doing the prelim training and obedience. He's a little dear heart, called Ted. ❤️

I'm about to book a cleaner to do a full spring clean of the house when I get paid as I can't do much in the way of housework without it hurting. This will be one of the best £50-60 I spend all year. lazy bag

Much love to all those who requrie it. xx

Good - Went to see Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, amazing!

Good - Day off tomorrow and seeing some lovely hitchers!

Bad - Have a bit of a cold but touch wood it's getting better and i don't infect said lovely hitchers.

Midwifery ?


RK you are an amazing lady. Sending you another big squishy hug xxx

Massive hugs RK, you are amazing.

Sange Ted is a gorgeous boy. Hope his training continues to go well. Where did you rescue him from?
