Having one of those frustrating days.....

1 minute read time.

In the grand scheme of things it was nothing, but when hot, tired and busy it was becoming the straw that broke the camel's back!

Yesterday morning I awoke to find that the insect bite on my arm, received whilst doing the Race, looked like a large archery board regardless of the antibiotic cream I had been using. So it was a trip to the docs morning surgery (no appointment necessary) where I had to sit with the great unwashed for almost 2 hours.

After receiving my oral antibiotics I went home to find the printer had broken! I then had a 20 minute arguement over the phone regarding a disputed credit card bill - an arguement that I'm pleased to say I eventually won. In between times I kept ringing my elderly mother-in-law to say I was setting off to her house to do some of her chores - only to find that for 3 hours there was no answer. On eventually getting hold of her it would appear she had forgotten I was going & had gone shopping! Then whilst vacuuming I knocked a picture on my wall & it fell in slow motion, smashing glass all over the floor!

By this time I was fit to do a perfectly passable impression of Veruca Salt (Charley & the Chocolate Factory), however the world suddenly became tranquil & lovely again when I saw the latest email on my computer - the first scan of our third grandchild soon to born in Australia.

Now all is well with the world again........until the next time!!!!!

I hope all our Mac friends are having a lovely sunny, healthy, troublefree day!

    Bad day then Veruca!

    They do happen like that don't they. Can't believe you were bitten on Sunday, did the insect not know you were there raising money for a good cause. Shame on him. I am afraid to report that even though we all smothered ourselves in Sun Cream, Amy has got really bad sunburn on the top of her arms and I have sun burnt lips - go figure! Great advert this family is for Melanoma awareness.

    Hope today is better for you. Lovely news about the scan, when is this one due?

    I know what you mean Jenni and ours isn't even born yet!

    It's due on New Years Day Barb - it's also the 7th birthday of our youngest grandaughter!

    Don't let the sunburnt lips get in the way of Sunday nights entertainment! And don't get locked up for letting it all hang out - it's an offence at our age!

    Have a great time with Marsha & lead each other astray!

    love Angie xx

    Must be one of those weeks for all of us Angie, - the rollers have gone on my dishwasher (I know - idle thing I am) and the top tray has just crashed twice on to the bottom lot of dishes, - I have a bucket full of broken glasses and crockery, - luckily none of it was expensive stuff.

    Yesterday the mouse broke on my computer, a minor thing, but the computer just froze and refused to budge, -bought  new mouse today and now it is happy and moving and so am I.

    The Co-op also phoned this week to say they can't get the fridge-freezer we had ordered, so we have to return to the shop and choose again.

    And yes I am very hot and bothered, - I loathe this weather, - about 20 degrees is my max.

    Congrats on the scan of new grand child, - oh how I wish we had some grand-babies, -

    love to all from Lynn
