No I was going to have a day at home tidying and generally just taking it easy, but as usual things didn't go to plan. As Ray was having real trouble breathing and has once again been rushed into hospital. I was in the middle of blogging when I got the call and my day was turned upside down.
I went over to take charge of the two grandaughters, I was a little perturbed by the 8yr old watching the paramedics so closely and seeing her dad in such a bad way so thought they needed a care free childrens day (she is far too grown up with whats going on).
Anyway I took them to my other daughters so they could play with her two girls 10 and 8 and we have had areally great day
inspite of what else was going on.
First they had ice creams and played on the trampoline,then we went to the park and swings, followed by a walk along the canal picking wild Flowers ![]()
When we got back to my daughters her partner had made a plate of sandwiches with crisps and bought them all sweets 
Then he looked after them all and they dressed up while my daughter and I went to see to my dogs and other daughters dog. When we got back they had made up a play and set seats in the garden ready for us to watch 
Later I left them there again while I went to hospital to see what was happening and give daughter some support, Ray by this time had been admitted onto a ward and was breathing slightly easier and very tired. We spent a little time together before I brought my daughter home and we fetched chinky chip shop food for us all to eat ![]()
After which I took them back to there own home and now I am ready for a cup of tea and putting my feet up.
I really enjoyed watching all the girls play together and having a carefree day inspite of what else was going on.
I had forgotten how nice the local paths were and how many secretplaces there were for the children to enjoy

INTRODUCING:- TECHNO GRAN
I have been explaining the technicalities of my new mobile phone with wiifi, and my new pay as you go dongle, also trying to explain how wireless connection works on the computer to someone. It is like banging your head on a brick wall, he is totally none technical. Anyway after ages of trying to explain these things over the phone I said never mind leave it to TECHNO GRAN I'll show you when I see you.
So there you go with my limited knowledge I am now going to solve his problems

Cat Napping
@ 2009-07-02 – 15:31:24
I've just been to check on the cat family as my daughter is out at work, opened the door and the blanket and box were empty.
*Here Abbey abbey abbey* no cat no kittens, checked under the beds, in the wardrobe behind the sofas and then I heard the purring and squeaks. Then I just spotted a leg poking out from underneath
She has taken her little brood right under the sofa (it's one of those you push a button and the base flips up for a leg rest) so I've had to text daughter and partner to tell them didn't want them springing the thing up and catching them with the metal frame.
I was begining to think they'd all been . . .Cat Napped
Got a couple of photosthe other day but they were not very clear and was going to takes some more today she obviously had other ideas

HAVING KITTENS
@ 2009-06-30 – 22:34:33
Yes literally
No not me my daughter's cat 
I have sat with her from 4pm until 9 and watched while she gave birth to 6 beautiful, healthy kittens.
She did it all herself and is a perfect mum, cleaning them and suckling them, she looked so content when I left.Sometimes in spite of the horrible things in life something like this happens and you can't but marvel at the wonder of nature.
I will post some photos of the little cuties in due course

Day Out
@ 2009-06-26 – 07:32:28
Yes I am up and off early, I am picking my friend up and we are going to Skegness to my caravan, just for the day but it will be a change for us both.
In all the years I've had it she has never seen it. She never stays away, first she looked after her mum and dad, then her and her husband had an averies where they sold all sorts of birds and also she had chickens and goats so she couldn't leave them for long. Then her brother in law moved in and now both he and her husband are ill and she looks after them.As well as having brought up two children and looking after grandchildren. Saying this she is not too well herself.
We met when I had my son and she her daughter sat in the doctors surgery. Two weeks after he was born I had a fire and all the baby clothes were ruined. Now I had only met her to say hello to but she came trundling up the street while the firemen where putting the house to rights with a huge suitcase full of beautiful baby clothes and just gave them to me. Having not long moved from London to a small village this was so lovely and we have been firm friends since.
Anyway I'm rambling and must get off.
We are going to my van to take a new patio set for the decking and make the beds up as I have some people using it next week but we will be having some fun by the sea too
Hope the sun comes out
You all have a nice day

Early Start Today
@ 2009-06-25 – 10:21:25
Yes for once I dragged myself out of bed as soon as I woke (I usually lie there when I'm not needed), I knew that if I didn't get out there and start the grass something else would happen and it would not get done. So 8am I started did half hour then had a cuppa and some cereal and went back out. Well I have just finished the mowing (on the back) still have the edges and tidying up to do but at least the major part is over

It is very grey and damp in the air so thought I'd better get it done before a rainfall, but the sun is up above the cloud trying to come through so maybe I will be able to sit in my newly mown garden in the sun later. I hope

You all have a nice day
