I think this lockdown is taking it out of me...

I decided this when I found myself playing hide & seek with squirrel.

He did find some really good hiding places.

Hide & seek with squirrel.

I have been to the dentist today and finally managed to have 1 of the teeth removed that was bothering me, only 2 more to go. I don't know when that will happen , I am going to ask if they will just remove them all, I have more spaces than teeth now so they might as well.

Here are a few more shots from the garden...

An unfortunate Dunnock.

Who has lost all the feathers from his/her head.

A Juvenile Dunnock

A Juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker

Lynsey has had a couple of trips to A&E in the last week or two, not with the covid-19 situation but with seizure related and other ongoing health issues, she is still struggling a bit but doesn't seem too bad.

Tony is having problems with his legs and shoulder, however, he will not let it get the better of him.

As I said earlier I am getting my teeth sorted, but I am still no closer to getting any injections in my knees. Well I suppose I am, I have been placed on a list to be contacted when they become available. I think thats just to stop me nagging.

I hope everybody is staying safe and well,

Until the next time...

Hmmm

It's been a while but this pandemic leaves me with nothing much to write about.
So, lets have some quick catch ups first,

Health
Tony is still having problems with his legs, he is having a lot of pain in his shoulder and is on water tablets to reduce fluidretention.
I am still waiting to see the doctor for my injections in both knees. I am still waiting to see the dentist, I have two teeth that are in need of removing, and a crown that needs replacing or removing as well. I have a sore gum around a root that is causing me pain I think it might be getting infected. I have my other usual aches and pains, apart from that we are ok.

Garden
We have two baby squirrels in the garden, as usual there is a crazy one that bounces about and throws himself about.

Crazy Squirrel.

Mrs Squirrel.

We have another squirrel that has kits in a drey somewhere close that are not old enough to leave the drey yet. It wont be long before they are, then we will have more baby squirrels.

Unknown Bug.

I don't know what this bug is! I have looked in my book of insects and I couldn't see anything to match it.

 Return of the Holly Bush

Tony pruned the holly bush a while ago. Tony prunes like nobody else, usually it means there is nothing left to see. I didn't expect to see any sign of life from the bush again, however it's back.

I managed to visit my mum, it was so good to see her. I have really missed  my mum. I spent some time with her just talking, when we ran out of things to say we watched the TV, just being in each others company after so long felt good, we didn't need to speak. I stayed quite a long time, I didn't realise how long I had been there. Mum took me home, hopefully I will see her again soon.

I am not sure about how Boris Johnson is doing things, I think he is moving thing a bit too quick. I think it is too early for children to go back to school safely, I think it is too early to open pubs, how are they going to make sure that all the rules are met, a few drinks and people will forget and do what they want. How are they going to supervise the children at school ? How do they expect 5 & 6 year olds not to have contact with their friends? Nursery aged children will want to play together, how do you keep them a metre apart?

See now you've got me rambling again.

Until the next time...
