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!

I love crabbing

Blimey I'm knackered tonight.
Been out crabbing at Maldon today with Reni and the twins.
For those who don't actually know what crabbing is, it's dangling a piece of raw bacon on a bent pin attached to a long fishing line to catch crabs.
Obviously, we put all the crabs back into the water when it's time to go home without any ill effects to the crabs and they get a free lunch over and over again as they can't resist the bacon.
I've watched children doing this for ages when mother and myself sit in the car opposite the boating boat on our weekly picnics and I used to go crabbing with my dad at Maldon when I was little, but it was the first time since my boys were little that I've done it since.
And it is jolly good fun, highly recommendable.

We went off to the mini dodgems after about an hour of crabbing, as the twins had started to get chilly as the weather was back to square one again.
Reni got ordered off the dodgems, as adults aren't allowed! He actually let her on as the twins are taller than her, so I'm not quite sure what he was moaning about and it wasn't as if she was bashing into people, just keeping an eye on the twins.
So we left, so yah boo sucks to mr dodgem man!
As I didn't go to rehab today, I walked up the prom and back with the help of leaning on my wheelchair.
But Reni did have to push me around for the rest of the day however.
Rehab or no rehab, I'm certainly getting some exercise one way or another this week.
I just hope that I get my new lungs before any grandchildren come along!

Tonight it was off to the cinema again to see 'Captain America', which was so corny that it was really quite good. Mind you I love the action come tongue in cheek type of films.
The twins enjoyed too.
Thankfully tomorrow, I shall have a lie in before we are off to sell our second hand books again at a charity day to raise funds for both my sons friend's little boy.
Right time for bed now as I need my beauty sleep, as busy, busy again tomorrow.

Lots of love Debbie x
