Hubby has been doing various bits and pieces in the bathroom, he has boxed in the horrible looking pipes in the bathroom and started painting the ceiling. Have to say it is looking a lot brighter.

Monday
Our first strawberries off of the plants in the garden, hubby says they are much nicer than the shop bought ones, make no odds to me they all taste the same time you cook them.

Tuesday
The lilies are looking very nice at the moment, so we moved them through to the front.

Wednesday
Away for some RAST tests and a look at my IgE levels as I am having major issues with food. Year on year more foods add themselves to the list of foods that cause serious pain. GP was worried I was cutting out too many food groups without good reason. Pain is a good enough reason for me. Hopefully these will come back with something meaningful. As a precaution I was given an Epi pen, Bob thinks this is brilliant, me I just think it is a nuisance. I am also being referred to an immunologist.

Thursday
Out for the day with daughter, ex hubby, his other half and the four grandchildren. We went to The Kelpies and The Falkirk Wheel. The two older ones ended up soaked to the skin in the water play area, they must have been frozen as we were chilly with jackets on. A great day was had by all, blog post to follow.
all four at the Falkirk Wheel |
I am a good mummy......look I take my child to the park too.....but this is just an extra to make you smile. Yes that is raindrops on the camera, the weather was typical blazing sunshine for a while followed by high winds and driving rain. Sssshhhh don't tell my daughter I have shown you this.
Friday
A friend mentioned that our tree that we planted a few years back was doing well, so we went for a visit. It is now over 6 ft tall and filling out nicely. We rescued this as a sapling when Shorty Dog dug it up about 16 years ago, it had been in a pot but was not doing well so we decided to chance it and plant it on our friends piece of land.

Saturday
Before we moved we use to use an elderly couples garden as our allotment in return for keeping the garden tidy. We don't use it as an allotment any more as its too far out the way now but hubby goes up and keeps it tidy for them regardless. Their flowers were needing cut back and tidied so we
brought home enough for two vases and very pretty they look in my living room.

I think she might notice the picture lol looks like you had fun :)
ReplyDeleteyour probably right, but might take her a while!!
DeleteThose lillies are beautiful. The park picture did make me smile - typical weather too!How amazing that the tree has grown so well, must have been lovely to see. #365
ReplyDeleteyes I had to share the park picture for that very reason. It is nice to see the tree flourishing
DeleteLovely photos! What pretty flowers!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you all had fun at the park....hehehe
one of the joys of summer, lots of pretty flowers
DeleteSorry to hear you are suffering. I'd love to see the Kelpies - we watched a programme about canal trips that went there, looks amazing #365
ReplyDeleteThank you, some weeks the pain is unbearable but then I get lots of good days as well.
DeleteLove the work on the bathroom ceiling as completely relate! We moved into a house full of dark wood and have gradually been turning everything white!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about all your pain. You're right - pain is a good reason to cut foods out. I cut a lot of foods out a few years back and have now gone back to eating most of them, but it really helped my stomach.
hopefully the tests will show up something, I worry that I am not taking enough of the right nutrients.
Deletewhat beautiful flowers, love the park photo!! Totally understand about the food, I have many issues to, a lot unexplained so far. Hopefully you manage to sort out the pain! x
ReplyDeleteseems to be a lot of people with food issues, something that was not common ( or maybe not discussed) in my younger days
Deletehome grown / freshly picked strawberries always taste much better than the ones in the shop - they are so much sweeter.
ReplyDeletei love the photo of your big girl on the park hopper ride LOL
so sorry to hear about your new food issues :( it must be such a nuisance for you. I hope it will soon be sorted xx
yes most home grown stuff tastes an awful lot better. Big girls like to play too!!
DeleteVery envious of your lilies, all mine were destroyed by the lily beetle. The photo of your daughter made me smile. And I agree with your husband, homegrown tastes better. :)
ReplyDeletethought the photo of my daughter would give people a laugh. What a shame about your lilies.
DeleteMy in laws keep telling us all about the Kelpies, they are regular visitors! I hope you manage to get sorted with the Drs soon, problems with food is not good x
ReplyDeletethe kids preferred the park to the Kelpies, and its a small world isnt it
Deletelove the flowers and the photo of your daughter at the park. You know what's best for you in regards to your diet, but make sure you're getting enough nutrients as you don't want to add any more problems to your health
ReplyDeleteI do try and get a good balance of nutrients which is why I cook fruit and veg and use alternative milks but yes it does concern me at times.
DeleteYou're going to be in so much trouble if your daughter finds out about that photo! Thanks for making me smile :)
ReplyDeleteglad it made you smile, I am sure she has seen it by now
Deletehe he, I thought she may well end up flat on her back as well.
ReplyDeletePainting the ceiling seems to be making a real difference. Good that your husband still looks after the garden for that couple and the flowers are lovely.
ReplyDeleteMy mums house had a ceiling just like that in the bathroom and my husband painted it white for her, what a difference! The lilies are gorgeous and I would love to visit the Kelpies x
