The Dentist!

I was in pain and obviously no one likes that so i had to sort it out. So i went to the emergency dentist. Only to my horror to find out that 5 yrs without a dentist was very very bad!

In total i need 1 tooth re-building after my old dentist put a filling in that was to big! 2 extractions and about 4 fillings ARGH! I hate dentists and was petirfied.

The dentist said that he thought if he gave me 2 temporary fillings and 1 extraction that would make me pain free.

Needless to say i gritted my teeth and got on with it!

Now im one tooth less and 2 temporay fillings more and feeling ERGH!

So this is how the land lies!

Just when you think the end is near!

As  fast i think im getting there something else crops up, but things are kinda rosy better than they have been for a considerable while now, so there are things to be thankful for At last im finding my feet.

I had forgoton how much a routine can help and bring organisation and peace, as well as the total chaos of relising im working that many hours ive forgot everything other than when i need to be at work!!

So for right now at this moment in time thats me!

How do we forgive?

I was told by a friend i need to forgive! I totally agree, so you think whats the problem?

How do you forgive someone when the pain is fresh and you know that the battle isnt over yet?

As a person of moral standing and with a strong faith, i know i am called to have compassion and grace and to forgive people as my Lord and saviour died for me so that all my sins past  and present and yet to come could be forgiven so that i could have life  eternal.

However in reality it is not that simple, not when someone who you believed to Love you has attempted to destroy you in every way possible, and its hard to describe because you dont love that person anymore, and you dont want them, but when they are trying to damage you in every way possible, forgivness just isnt on the cards right now! To forgive at this moment would be like running out of fuel and loosing the power to see something through to the end!

My friend could not see or get a grip on that!

I know in time the Lord will heal, and forgiveness will come but not right now, the wounds are still bleeding!

Time for the down!

The winter is here ! Well for this week anyway! I was informed at 1 am that snow was falling in Scotland and then had it reaffirmed that it was in Inverness at 7 am and then re-affirmed at 9 am that the snow that fell at 1 am had lasted all night!

Anyway its cold here to, i had a fleece scarf and gloves on when  went for milk! 

I love the Autum and winter they always come just in time and im always ready for them, i love to kick big piles of crunching leaves, and i love to see the cars and bin lids sparkling in the frost. Bonfire night always smells great and thats without getting covered in pumpkin mulch on Halloween trying to carve out scary faces!

 

Roll on the snow!

So anyway???!!

Its a been a while to say the least!!! I have been massivley incapacitated t. The charger for my lappie died, and seen as my lappie is a tad senior in its years its been interesting get a new one!

So in our time apart i am still battling with my garden, and the other trials in life, but i have had an amazing few days which i would love to share if thats ok?

I went away for a few days as birthday celebrations for someone phenominally dear to me. We stayed in one of my fav places made even more fav because i was with them, the weather was lovely and warm, which made it so much more enjoyable:)

We arrived and had minor complusary retail therapy for a dog stake!!!!

then went to our fav place for food the well renound ODG!!! As usual they excelled with cullianary delights of fish and chips, chicken and leek pie, with sticky toffee pud and chocolate roulade for pud!! Yummy!!!!

Our evening was spent digesting, swatting midges and planning our walk.

The morning dawned after a warm sticky night with the prospect of rain, we headed to the ODG for a wonderful fry up, cant start the day on an empty tum!

Then things got tricky……..

Next instalmenet to follow!!!!

Aha 1 – 1

I did it! i got the better of the brambles! However it was done with the aid of a very funky well priced pair of purple gardening gloves from a very good cheap shop known to many folk in this part of the country! 

I was at it for about an hour and a half in total, and made a fair amount of progress. There is a definate visable space in the border where the brambles used to be! Trimmed back growths around back pathway and climbing entrance to the house, finished by feed, weed, and seeding the lawn.

The lawn really needs it as my four legged friends calls of nature seem to have acidic properties which don’t agree with the lawn! So much to the distress of four legs the lawn is being given some TLC which means no races on it for a week or two to give it time to recouperate!

All in all not to bad for a days work, if i do say so myself. Unfortunately now suffering for my efforts!:’(

 

The Garden

I am blessed with a great garden it is of a good size and even has a pond with wildlife.

However it would seem to have got a little out of control, so today i decided to try and regain control, and show it who is boss! Even maybe wrestle a few of those tigers that have been seen prowling in the very long grasses of the so called lawn!

So i began just before midayish. I thought that maybe the overgrown borders would be a good place to start. By overgrown i don’t just mean a few small tuffts of grass and weeds i mean huge brambles!

As round one began i felt i really should have maybe given into the macho image of gardening without gloves and brought a pair just so my hands didn’t end up like pin cushions! I did make some progress you can see where i have been however after forty minutes with my trusty spade they got the better of me!

By now my hands and nails are BLACK ! And feeling a tad worse for where, but i refuse to give in! so i figure ill mow the lawn and then at least that will make it look somewhat more presentable!

Well after much wrestling with a considerable number of tigers in the long grasses the lawn was nearly done i just needed to rake up the cuttings, when my trusty four legged companion who up to this point had been amusing itself my harassing next doors OAP four legged guard decided it had a call of nature which had to be answered there and then right when i had just mowed! How very unappreciative of my efforts i thought! 

Any way the story so far is borders 1-nill Lawn nill-1!

Hello There!

Hiya World,

This is me coming into existence on what is meant to be The British Summer but what i think has got to be the windiest day of the year, as yesterday must have been the wettest!

My trees in my garden look like they are gonna all fall down and my stupid un-double glazed windows are rattling something rotten!

Having recently been to see the happening  for those folk that have seen it you will understand when i say that every time the wind picks up and the trees begin to move i get a little nervous to say the least!!!!!!
