My Grandson the Surfer DudeStill no let up in the weather “ Rain Rain go away come again another day.” a flash back to my childhood. Between the showers I have been walking more, almost daily. I had my routine medical check and was told my Cholesterol was raised to 6 mmol. So its more exercise and cut back on the cheese and butter. Boy that will be a sacrifice as I love all types of cheese and bread isn’t the same without butter. But I will survive my B/P is good, all other tests OK and I feel fit and well.
“It was on a Monday morning the gas man came to call “ by Flanders and Swan one of my favourite songs. (click link below) Yes I had my Gas Central Heating Boiler replaced and was very impressed, it was all done in six hours with very little mess . I was also pleased that they agreed to take my old asbestos soil pipe that had laid on the garage roof for months. It was a heavy 16 foot pipe that was replaced in February following damage by strong winds. It was swinging off the gable end after breaking lose from the wall United Utilities replaced the pipe but refused to remove the old one as it required specialists removal due to complicated health and safety aspects of dealing with asbestos. I could not find anyone locally to remove the pipe so it had laid up there in safety since, but it was a relief to see it go.
Can’t wait to use my new boiler controls that are now situated in the kitchen as apposed to the boiler house. Plus my water pressure seems to have improved especially in the shower Wow Wee !! Great Fun. August is Birthday Month for Amy Ben and Sam my wonderful grandchildren. In 1992 I was delighted to have two grandsons, born within 12 hours of each other. But Amy is special because she was the first grandchild and our only granddaughter. I also have my darling Ryan who is the youngest born in 2002 and lives just five minutes away. Amy and Ben live in Australia and Sam lives in North Yorkshire. When they were little children I enjoyed spending a lot of time with them but now they are young adult its not the same, I still love them lots and value each precious moment I have with them. I have been knitting tiny hats for the charity "Save the Children" it only takes me an hour to complete one. Babies lose so much heat through their head especially premature babies wearing a hat can save many tiny lives. Once I start knitting it becomes an obsession,I relax so easily and lose time clicking those needles. I regret that children today don`t like to wear home knit any more,they prefer to wear labels and young mothers dress their babies in mostly designer wear. I have seen tiny babies so uncomfortable wearing denim wear ,why to impress, I think its an age issue.
