I wanted to get a general idea of how Freddie was doing in all subjects before I spoke to his parents, the word ‘arse’ featured a lot, along with ‘backside’ and ‘a kick up the’. One teacher suggested I ask his parents get him tested for ADHD, another offered to hold young Freddie out of [...]
And I didn’t swear! I was packing away after church while chatting to someone. Unfortunately my attention wasn’t on the putting down of a microphone stand so when the top metal bit crashed down onto the bottom metal bit my finger was in the way. The result was a chunk of finger removed from me [...]
Yesterday I spent a great half hour looking at various Atlases in Borders. I want to give a friend one for Christmas as she mentioned she doesn’t have one. I don’t want to spend a fortune but still want to give one of a reasonable quality. I was given a marvellous Atlas for my birthday [...]
My cat was much better once she got home from the vet. I spent time coaxing her to take her antibiotics, which she did. Tonight she has gone back to my parents because that way she will get attention more regularly as work insist I attend for some bizarre reason. I am sad that she [...]
Is now at the vets – it would appear that she has an abscess on her face – it swelled up drastically during the evening and would account for the general feeling today that she isn’t well. She has had an antibiotic shot and some pain killers while the vet doesn’t do anything drastic until [...]
Is back! She is too thin but mum has been working hard on feeding her up, I just need to continue the work now. She is currently asleep in one of her favourite spots – in the office by the radiator.

It’s great. Scan the items, putting them in the [...]

If there is a God why is there suffering in the world?
Why are we here?
Do angles exist?
During discussion I give possible answers such as –
people have free will and choose to cause suffering,
to help others,
there are obtuse angles, right angles, acute angles.
I am proud to say that I am number 8 in Google for “ne na”.
Thank you to everyone who has commented about my cat and about house group. I really appreciate it.
People have been mentioning their housegroups around here recently and I thought I’d follow suit. I belong to a house group but I rarely attend, I feel very guilty for not attending because one of the leaders is a really sweet man with a good heart. However I have reasons for not going which probably [...]
