Day 741,742

Well it didn't last did it! still missing one day isn't so bad.
So busy yesterday building the fence and the saga continues! Nothing ever easy or simple in my life.

Up early in order to collect supplies to get cracking. Um those nails, should be with heads or without! both afterall men can never tell you exactly what they want and um why don't they go themselves it would make life so much more simple. Still as i said , not in this household.

On my return work in progress and one slat standing alone, um now that doesn't look too promising. The thought was that rather than dismantle the existing fence and use the slats which are the correct size to see if i could buy some more and that way still keep the fence up whilst new one being built. OK so off i go on my bike, the traffic horrendous just outside and there are traffic lights and workmen out in force. Get to DIY no slats but a 6 foot ready prepared piece not what we wanted but easier and cheaper to dismantle the new piece. Now I'm not too good on a bike at the best of times and trying to balance a 6ftx3ft piece on the handlebars was too risky even for me . So i may as well carry it home. You can imagine it cant you. It could only be a woman that carries her own garden fence through the high street to stop and talk over it. The looks and comments i got were varied! does no one walk or carry things anymore!
Husband waiting as i walk down the drive, wheres your bike! needless to say it was hot and sticky and i felt a heatwave rage come on, quietly simmering just below the surface.
Work quickly began on dismantling it. Cup of tea, and by the way i need some bolts and a bit of creosote!!! excuse me what was that!
Sipping the tea and beginning to feel refreshed decided the best way forward and which route to go to the shops after all this time i may be best going to the local hardware store.
3 shops later i managed to get all said requirements and i hadn't managed to get my bits. That would have to be later then.

Bolts appear not to be quite long enough. Oh and why is that i as??? rage now simmering gently over the sides in buckets of heavily dripped sarcasm i asked if it would ave been better to go himself as i had had every bolt off the displays only to discover the bit sticking out was the same what ever the size you buy!! it was then that the hack saw was suggested. Time for male species to back off!!! a dangerous breed is the female species when seriously miffed!

Oh and did i mention the long walk back to collect my bike, um i thought not.

Late afternoon work complete! and i was exhausted, what was that? had i booked the car in for a service grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Late afternoon tea in the garden and a late night walk out with Duke and the day was done, well not quite because whilst doing some research found some very interesting news.
Yay, yippee, handstands, cartwheels etc etc, who was it that says revenge is a dish best served cold!!! well i enjoyed a lovely slice last night and savouring a little more today. Delicious!


A slightly different day today. Visitors this morning bought Ti ms sister and husband to the door. The first time i have been in the house the same time as them since before Mikey's funeral. Quite strange really. Still the morning had gone before i knew it, lunch and then a ride out before running was the plan. Mid lunch Tom arrived and stayed for most of the afternoon. Oh dear when Tim and Tom get bees  in their bonnets its like a war zone and I'm stuck in the middle! why is it that no one wants to give ground. As a peacemaker, usually you upset one or the other. Time to run!!!!

Had a really good run tonight, a little cooler and the knee felt OK plus i was in the mood to burn off some energy! We made really good time tonight. Just to round the night off we  had a ride through flagrass to cool the muscles down! The nights are really drawing in and we needed lights on at 2030hrs.

Still a little frosty at home! but quickly thawed and a pleasant evening watching the Queens mother in law. Fascinating story.

Mickeys friend told us during her visit that another of his friends was very poorly at the moment. How sad it is an how cruel CF is. If only we had a cure it would be wonderful. Its that thought and that situation that makes me realise just how insignificant everything else in life is. Live for the moment because tomorrow may never come!

But for the most of us mere mortals that's what we think about isn't it, today, tomorrow , yesterday. Every day i close my blog with the same words. But for me its just that, tomorrow is just another day..........................
