You'll be aware that certain important places have an "artist in residence"....well, this evening, we have a photographer in residence. JBV from silly St. Ouens was here earlier, and (for the first time) he was allowed to take photos with an iPad....Jill's iPad to be precise. As I type Jill has spent the last half an hour deleting the photos that we don't want.....there seems to be at least fifty to sort through.....so, we'll have the pick of the bunch later on. Sorry, did I mention that JBV is 6 years old?
It's just been announced that Barry Manilow is the live guest on Strictly this evening.....the dog has run to her bed and stuck her head under a blanket....I know how it feels.
Last night I was asked to give the standard injection at dinner time. As I had been outside I decided (very kindly) that I would warm my hand so Jill didn't jump off the sofa when I gave her the injection....remember that I have to grab a good pinch of (nonexistent) fat into which to inject the medicine. Anyway....I stuck relevant hand under hot tap in kitchen...warmed up nicely...took out injection.....went over to sofa....knelt down and got 'into position".....grabbed as much of Jill's stomach as I could and......Jill nearly jumped out of her skin......I had only warmed up the wrong hand!!! To be honest I think it was a genuine mistake to makea....which hand would you have warmed up? Being right handed I had done the right hand....but, of course, you use your strong hand to hold the needle don't you.... as it was pointed out, the Planning Minister didn't plan that very well. Point taken.
Dan has just gone off to bed....to be fair, his body is telling him that it's sometime after 2 in the morning....so we can't blame him really. He's also very confused about meals....he can't actually work out how many times he's eaten today...what with a small meal just after leaving...two more meals in the air....a quick nosh in Dubai....breakfast in gatwick....and now a full roast beef supper on return here. He's already told us plenty of stories of his trip to "ladyboy land". Apparently an expensive hotel for the three of them was £80 for the night (not each...in total!)....and a decent Thai meal only £3...Dan apparently ordered two main dishes at the same time....so no change there then. They hired motorbikes for two days...£3 each..... Went to the island where they filmed the James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun ....and also went to the beach where they filmed "The Beach" (Leonardo diCaprio film)....went on some really dodgy boats...and did some other exciting stuff. Dan's well chuffed with his holiday I think.....good for him.....and a happy Mummy now that he's back home.
I forgot to mention the doctor.....Dan has had leg pain since getting home.....he had already known he needed to be careful about DVT....it seems that he didn't do enough exercise while flying home.....the diagnosis is something I can't spell. It's also given him a good excuse to lie on the sofa with his leg elevated, being waited on hand and foot.
Chilled out, taking up all the sofa..
serious selfie?
funny face selfie
Very scared Jessie.....hiding in her bed!
Searching for the dog.....
Getting the hang of selfies now....
Very worrying that the first photo immediately follows your description of Dan....lying on the sofa? If that's him he's certainly come back from 'ladyboy land' having had the full works?!!
ReplyDeleteGlad that you're checking up on me, AT will be pleased you've mistaken her for a 'Ladyboy"...!
