Eric has started feeding out this last week, quite late as with the warm damp weather grass has contimued to grow. The low temperatures this week will certainly put a stop to that.
A very pregnant Freckles:
Ditto Carol:
and for you Carol, Nelson. Far too busy chewing the cud in the sun to bother standing up for his piccie to be taken!:
We have had more emails in this last 3 weeks than in the whole of the previous 3 months!! Firstly, when I got my old laptop back and found long unused addresses I emailed people to check they were still valid (also checked those in the desktop whilst I was at it) and got lots of replies, and secondly SOOO many people have sent congratulations to Eric. It has been very heart warming.
NZ media is far less restricted than that of the UK. The Waikato Times this week has twice published photo's of dead bodies, I don't ever recall seeing that in a UK newspaper. One of bodies from a massacre in the Middle East somewhere, and the other of a guy being eaten by lions in a zoo, was it in Kiev? We also chuckled this morning when a guy referred to something as complete "bo***cks" - so kiwi!
Eric's frustration at the paperwork required for his bar admission dissolved into nothing on Tuesday when he discussed with the person in Wellington and she said no it wasn't transcripts they required, they just needed his 2002 exam results. This conversation was going on at the same time I was sweet talking my way to getting his transcripts at the uni that day, rather than the usual 4 day wait. I phoned him to say I had them at the same time he was trying to phone me to say they weren't needed!!! Anyway, paperwork is now in Wellington and must get back here by Monday to allow him to get the stuff filed in time. We're keeping everything crossed.
We had a bad night last night. I started getting 'that' abdominal pain again, starts like a pulled muscle (always a worry, I don't have any muscles there!!!), and gradually worsens and becomes spasmodic. Knowing full well it was adhesions and another partial bowel obstruction I didn't wait for the pain to get unbearable, just really bad, before going to the doctor - at midnight!!! (Why can't this ever happen in the day). As it was it was only because Eric woke up that I confessed I was in pain and we went off. The doctor was lovely and a dose of the miraculous Buscopan, IV, and I was right as rain. Knowing that last time it came back again I took 2 tablets when I got home. The pain returned to niggle but after being sick and placing a warm hotwater bottle over my tummy I finally dozed off about 4am. Needless to say I have been taking it easy today and Eric and I had a snooze on the sofa this afternoon. I wish I know what it was that triggered this. It's also worrying that these events are becoming more frequent. At least now I have some Buscopan injection at home which may save us big medical bills in the future.
This is how he spends his afternoons now the studies have finished!!!:
