Notes from Summer Wood...

I have been soldiering on listing no end of stuff on ebay under the watchful eye of MrP making sure I wasn't "wasting time" playing on the computer- despite a humdinger of a migraine which had me crawling into bed twice over the weekend- MrP has agreed that listing things on ebay is one of the worst jobs ever though...

On Saturday afternoon in an effort to shake off the migraine - which tablets have no effect on at all- as I said I had crawled back into bed for a quiet lie down- only to be joined by MrP ("I thought I would join you") and Tequila the cat who likes to "look after" me when I'm not feeling good by lying on top of me and massaging gently with his claws and purring full blast in my ear- so I lay for a couple of hours between a husband and a cat, listening to next door vaccuming and their dogs barking constantly- MrP and Tequila were fast asleep! We got up and did a mad dash, seeing to horses and chickens and walking dogs - then off to the shops to buy a Scalextric set for MrP's business partners 60th birthday! I made the huge mistake of volunteering to drive so MrP could have a drink at the party and so sat for 3 and a half uncomfortable hours drinking diet coke, nursing a migraine and watching everyone else get drunk... great fun!

Sunday the migraine got worse so I repeated the back to bed thing- joined once again by MrP and Tequila and this time lay for an hour and a half between a husband and a cat listening to next door's dogs barking, excited chatter as they had a barbeque and a tractor spraying in the field over the road. I'd had enough and decided a walk in the fresh air was the only cure- I have to say a walk in the woods near the cottage was bliss- the dogs loved it- it didn't shift the migraine but I did feel a whole lot better after this...
