Day 282

Good Gracious i cant work out how to blog this and keep the dates in order. I think i will just write and put days on when i finish tonight and go from there!
Still having problems with the computer and it takes ages to find a way in!!! Must get the computer man back out.

I hope  to catch up by the end of the week because i have some news! I do hope it will make Tim feel a bit better, lets hope so.
Anyway to continue with the holidays.

Day 282.  Went to Dartmouth today and what a fab day it was.
Tom phoned this morning and chatted for ages. Lovely. Attempting to put up a fence and wanted some help. Tim happily obliged. Its good that Tom is trying to fill his days off doing something productive, he will then be able to say he has done something with his days off. It will also give him a sense of acheivment. Goodness only knows i can remember when we first attempted tp put wallpaper up! its all about experience!!

It began to rain but we headed off to,the ferry for our crossing, by the time we reached Dartmouth the sun was out. This time we were detirmined to find the castle. Each time we come we say will visit it but never do!
Another water trip! this time in a little boat. Lovely crossing and took loads of photos.
Quite a trek up from the landing to the castle. We sat out and had coffee and breakfast!! We spent considerable time exploring and climbing!!! didnt like the narrow spiral steps up to the top of the castle, still up i went, always willing to experience new things, gulp!!! coming down was worse!!!! needed the time to sit just to get my breath back!!! not because i was tired but it was through sheer terror!
To get a boat back you just turned over a board on the jetty and someone would fetch you. Tim told me to go ahead and turn the board whilst he went of to find the loo. The boat came and no Tim!!!! so we waited, imagine the look on his face when another person said 'and we thought it was women who kept everyone waiting!!'

Caught the car ferry back, yes thats because there was such a long queue for the passenger ferry. Steam train was in at Dartmouth so i got some glorious pics of the engine as it passed under the foot bridge i was on. Im going to make an album, trains boats and no planes!!!

Ankle was throbbing by now and Tim wanted to take me to casualty. Not so likely i will suffer first anyway no running today! Hopefully a less strenuous day tomorrow.


Well i better call it a day for now, its 0215 in the morning and work will soon be upon me!!  I will try to catch up tomorrow after my run. Its been lovely weather, Mikey loved the sun, we do so miss him still and i dont think that will ever change. I find myself quite weepy again these days. Time is getting close to a year since we lost him, its just so damn hard! we live a pretence, a face to the world, a face to family, a face to friends, our true face shows only in the middle of the night when the rest of the world is sleeping, it is some times so damn lonely and at these times you wonder why its worth bothering with living anymore.Morning comes and you put on the face that suits the occasion, we continue on the wheel of life.
