Apologies for going awol for a bit, with no explanation.
I've been struggling a bit with some very old demons...(leftovers from the shitty first marriage)...again!
But worry not...I've been to the Doc's and I'm getting sorted. I feel nearly normal again....well, as normal as I ever was!
It's all too complicated....and tedious....and boring....and tiresome....and annoying to blog so I won't bore you all with it.
So....as I said, I'm feeling ok again now so HELLO AGAIN and apologies for neglecting everyone's posts. I will try harder, I promise!
Busy times ahead.....School hols (nightmare!)...Two psycho kittens running riot, two more pigs born yesterday (the male must have got in there a bit quick without us realising before we separated him from the girls!.....randy little bugger!)...and a holiday to plan from 11th to 18th August but I will try to fit in a bit of blogging where possible!
Luckily we have been largely unaffected by the severe flooding in Gloucester, as Sally said in her last post, we are on higher ground here.
K's father lives in Gloucester and has been without power and water and K's office is just outside Tewkesbury. Although the flood water has not reached it, he has been unable to get from home to the office due to flooded roads being closed. He was caught out on Friday, making several detours trying to get home but ended up turning back, luckily managing to get to his Dad's house where he spent the night.
Rosie works in Gloucester and on Friday her new boyfriend picked her up from work to bring her home but they also got stuck.
At one point he was wading through water up to his waist (he is 6ft.3 inches tall!) with Rosie on his shoulders. To cut a long story short, they ended up staying in Stroud for the night (after calling at her Fathers house, who lives in Glos but was not flooded, and being turned away!!!!) before making their way here, Saturday lunchtime. He was then kind enough to turn around and go back again to find K who had borrowed his Dads fishing waders and was wading his way home.....his Dad lives about 15/20 miles away!
Later that evening K had a call from Sally's husband D, asking to be rescued from their car which had died on Sally whilst rescuing D whose car had also died!!!! Very complicated.....there will no doubt be an amusing post from Sally telling all!!!
Apparently there were abandoned cars blocking roads as well as flood water....so it has all been a bit crazy but the kids have enjoyed all the excitement! We are so lucky not to have had our houses flooded like many in Gloucester. I will be contacting many of our friends who live in Gloucester over the next few days to see how they have been affected.
So...there it is...an update on what has been happening in my bubble lately.
Good to be back!
