A Quiet Life . . . or maybe not?: September 2015

A Quiet Life . . . or maybe not? The life and times of an ordinary family. Wednesday, 30 September 2015. So we got out of the hospital on the Sunday evening, and later that evening I took Locket to get checked. Thankfully once Locket was on antibiotics she began to improve, and continued to over the week. He had an experienced nurse and so she just went with the flow . . . obviously very used to patients saying random things in recovery! So it was homeward bound for us and sleep time for him. Goodness kn...

A Quiet Life . . . or maybe not? The life and times of an ordinary family. Tuesday, 5 April 2016. A bit of earthmoving! There is a section next door to us, well it's beside and then to the right of us if you are facing it from the street. It has been empty the whole time we have lived here, which is 30 years. It's had gorse removed, it's had several different owners, it's had a bit of earth removed by one owner . . . but still not developed. Until now! The drive being created. The trucks had to go up fro...

It's June - Here in New Zealand today is Queen's Birthday Monday. The day we remember Queen Elizabeth's birthday. Her actual date of birth is in April. It's a public holiday and many people have the day off work. If you do read something that you don't like please talk to me about it. :-C. If you choose to. Since then I've had, to date, 4 CT scans and various o...

A Quiet Life . . . or maybe not?: December 2014
http://quietlifeornot.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
A Quiet Life . . . or maybe not? The life and times of an ordinary family. Wednesday, 31 December 2014. Looking back . . . And looking forward. Once again time has passed swiftly. A lot of it! 10 weeks :-o It's been a good year in the main, some not-so-good parts, but that's life in it's entirety. I've thought long and hard, once again, about whether to keep this blog going or not. Blog posts do take me a fair amount of time . . . perhaps I'm not as quick as others! Yesterday I drove over to Eastbourne.

A Quiet Life . . . or maybe not?: Titahi Bay walk
http://quietlifeornot.blogspot.com/2016/02/titahi-bay-walk.html
A Quiet Life . . . or maybe not? The life and times of an ordinary family. Monday, 8 February 2016. On the 4th of January we decided to go for a walk. Since Brains has his learner license Boar got him to drive us there. A while ago I'd walked to the right of the entry to the beach. You don't get far past the boat sheds when you come to a wall. However there is a track and also you can walk around the rocks a wee way before you hit water. Lots of little pools with seaweeds in them. A bigger rock pool.

A Quiet Life . . . or maybe not? The life and times of an ordinary family. Friday, 29 January 2016. A Frosty morning . . . and lungs! A frosty morning - 14th July! Usually the wind is blowing . . . or it's raining, so we don't get too many of these really. If you've read a few of my other posts you'll know I had a a bit of a health scare. In August last year. I found this photo online and I've added the red line, the long black arrow and the blue words blocked from here. Pointing to the grey area. Ot...

So, it is now 10 weeks and 3 days since my Pulmonary Embolism (PE). I'm in recovery mode and doing o.k I think. They were at the base in Johnsonville only a few minutes away. An ambulance was there soon after and I was taken into ED. Boar followed in the car. It was what was causing the pain. My first big day out was on Saturday. By then I was able to walk aro...

A Quiet Life . . . or maybe not? The life and times of an ordinary family. Wednesday, 28 December 2016. Filling in some gaps . . . I sometimes wonder why I called my blog what I did! For the last year life has been anything but quiet! Dear readers, believe it or not but it is over a year since my PE. August 13, 2015. Since then there have been a few other major family events. I'm going to mention them briefly and leave it at that. And Braveheart have separated. And Levi have separated. I stayed with her ...

A Quiet Life . . . or maybe not?: Some Time Away
http://quietlifeornot.blogspot.com/2016/04/some-time-away.html
A Quiet Life . . . or maybe not? The life and times of an ordinary family. Monday, 4 April 2016. 10 Jan - 18 Jan 2016. Early in January my older brother, Vidor. Came down from his home to stay. He did the same last year which gives us a chance to go away for a week. Vidor stays here with Pa. To be here if Pa needs any help and to cook a main meal each day. We headed over the hill to the Wairarapa to our favourite camping spot. Lil Battler decided he'd like the whole bed once I'd got out of it! Early morn...
