I have decided that Thursday is my favourite day of the week. It is the first day I can do what I want without having to stress about other people too much. Having said that, last Thursday I had ratdog for the day as my friend was on a course! Still, headed off to the park with both dogs, but without ducky food. Headed off away from the pond and ratdog immediately found himself another playmate, so I stood chatting for around half an hour whilst the dogs played and then strolled on round the rest of the park. That little dog has so much energy it is unbelievable, and I wish I had an eighth of it! All in all we were out for an hour and a half and he was still going strong, despite the fact that Caroline had taken him out before dropping him off to me. Hopefully there is a photo of the two of them together relaxing!
Got home and tidied up then went to Yate to do some odd jobs and do the dreaded weekly shop. I also do Dads shopping if he needs it, so this is my excuse for chatting to myself - I was trying to remember what he needed, honest!
Went and fed the ducks Friday morning and saw the heron. Yayyy. Was feeling a bit sad because so far this year it has eluded me, so this cheered me up. I am happy and more relaxed now too, and have a strange theory about it! I have wanted a London Blue topaz ring for a while now, and haven't found one that I like or can afford. Trawled ebay again and came across a picture that although wasn't a london blue, was a beautiful turquoise colour, so bought it. It took 3 attempts for the payment to go through and I should have picked up then on the "destiny" aspect. I joked to the seller that I was obviously not meant to have this ring, but she realised she had missed a letter off her email address on her paypal account and that is why the payments weren't processing. As a thank you for being patient she sent me a pendant to match the ring. Okay, the ring arrives, and is a pale blue topaz, nothing like the photo. In itself it is pretty, but nowhere near the colour of the photo, or what I want. Anyway, I started wearing it. Now, it may be coincidence, but it gradually became noticable to me that was around that time that my moods were dipping. I do believe crystals can affect you, I do not do well with malachite, it goes almost black when I wear it instead of green. I have stopped wearing the ring, and feel happier. Coincidence? Almost certainly, but I still feel I was not meant to have that ring. So, if anyone would like to buy a sky blue topaz ring, size L, I have one for sale!
Friday morning was spent with the lovely Captain Ed, who has been roped into helping my Dad with piano and german lessons, without his knowledge! Sorry Ed! lol We had a good chat about paranormal happenings, and I fear I shall be commandeering him again for yet more gossiping :o) Sorry Ed again?!
Then it was the prom! The long awaited, hassle causing prom. Everyone looked so smart, and the boys in particular were on a high - the noise coming from the limo was quite spectacular! One of the parents had arranged a sleepover for 16 of the children afterwards, and Rich was invited, despite our misgivings. Sixteen hyper children in a 3 bed house? Hmmmm. He wanted to go so we let him ..........................
Twelve thirty am, the texts start! He is not a happy bunny, is tired, there is too much noise, one of the boys who was asleep has had a smiley face drawn on his bum with permanent marker. He didn't ask to be picked up, but I found myself at 1am trying to find no. 40, when the garage numbers went 38, 39, 41! Knocked on the wrong door, but quietly luckily and ended up phoning to say I couldn't find the entrance or in fact, the house! By the time I had locked up our house on arriving home and gone upstairs, Rich had gone to bed and was asleep! He slept until 11.30 this morning, bless him. I am going to go back to bed now lol.
Photos of the prom are on facebook so haven't posted them here. Chat soon :o) x

Sweet blog...you sound in good spirits.
ReplyDeleteI think your walking and relationship with animals and nature helps sooth your soul...
Lovely picture...I had wrongly thought 'Rat Dog' was your pet name for your dog!?
Hence when RD tried to eat the piggy I thought it was your dog!!
Sounds like rich had a good time - you did well to let him go...it's hard when you know there is high chance of shenanigans!
Keep up the therapeutic walks and the fun blogs too...
As for the ring...like all things if you have to try to hard they are not meant to be
Have fun and take care in the right proportions!
Mr Dx
I would never call my dog ratdog David, he is the bestest doggie in the whole wide world :o) And yes, you are right, animals and nature do sooth my soul. I am lucky I have the opportunity for release x
