About Me

My photo
I'll be 55 this August... I've had bronchiectasis for ten years plus this year... End stage lung disease for the past year...been on oxygen for three years... and have I got used to it yet?... nah! I am now waiting for the biggie; a double lung and maybe a heart transplant. I love my life weirdly enough, because I have some wonderful family and friends who are with me every step of the way on my adventures, even though I embarrass them on a daily basis with my unorthodox way of looking at life. Not for the faint hearted!

Big moon rising

Spring has sprung and it's lovely out there. Promises of things to come and a promise to my neighbour that I am putting up a fence in time for summer, so he can't see me in my cossie!
He is fine, I've known him for years, but he can just be a tad crude at times.
I spent a little time this afternoon weeding next to where the fence will go and the little flowerbed that I was tending to looks as unkempt as it was when I started out. I have got a rubbish bag full of weeds and old growth from my plants, so I must have done some good. I'm not really cut out for this garden lark!

Had a very pleasant morning seeing the girls from work at Rosemary's 'bring and buy' come coffee morning from 'Mission Croatia'. It was lovely to sit and chat to them without fear of any bosses looking at the clock and eat chocolate cake for breakfast.
One of the girls gave me a beautiful cross stitch picture of the serenity poem. It's a poem that Julie's husband quotes to me quite often when I'm having a 'turn' which is quite often, but does help to calm me down.
Not only does Sally bakes beautiful cakes, but she can sow too and I can't even weed in a straight line. I can see that I am going to have to go back to domestic goddess classes.

But the district nurse praised the fact that mother's tummy has nearly repaired it's self and that is down to my nursie bit. I take full credit for that. Of course I wasn't there and I have a sneaky feeling that my big sister might have got the praise and she got out of having to re-dress it as the district nurse did it for her.
Now how did I guess that was going to happen!?

There was a beautiful moon last night. So bright that you would have thought that I had a street light outside my window. Apparently it's the closest that the moon has been to the earth since the Boxing Day Tsunami, now isn't that weird that we had the worst earthquake recorded in Japan this week and tonight is a full moon. I guess it will be even brighter tonight, but lets hope no other disasters unfold.
I wonder if it put people in a good caring mood, as they got 74 million pounds last night for Comic Relief and it will still rise this week as the people round the country pay there money in for their various fund raising events. People can be kind in this country really.

Lots of love Debbie x
