Good luck BT, it isn't easy to go against your body clock.

It takes weeks for your body to get used to the changes. Today, I took the dog out in decent weather, the wind got up, black clouds appeared and we were drenched. The huge hailstones both hurt and terrified him and I ended up just standing over him to shelter him. We were both drenched. When the hailstones stopped, I decided to just go home - the clouds parted, the blue sky came back and I was treated to the clouds blown on becoming peach and gold with a rainbow which appeared to go straight up to the sky. I don't think ,y dog appreciated it but, it certainly was a consolation for me. I've now towelled the dog dry, stripped of and am going to have a bath to warm up.

I wish I'd seen that Meg.

 

I love dogs but I don't like being showered when they shake themselves nor the smell of wet dog fur.

Specially when they're unhappy and cuddle into you while you're drying them down. Mess and all, I'd really miss mine. I keep feeling he's on borrowed time as he's lived twice as long as Battersea said be would.

It was like a close family bereavement when I had to part with my last dog because she had incurable cancer and could no longer walk. Although I knew in my heart it was the best thing to do, making the decision to end her life was horrendous.

Sounds horrendous weather to walk in Meg, glad there was a bit of compensation with the rainbow and light behind the clouds.

It has been with all my animals. Dave thought I was mad to go for a dog who would probably only live for a year and would never be well. I just couldn't leave him to be put down and he'd had his 4months there. He's been with us eight and a half years - so it just goes to show that you never know. At least we have the ability to stop animals suffering. Humans have to remain in pain until the very end.

 

TLC the miracle cure.

 

I don't know what I should be doing but whatever it was, I've changed my mind. I rather overindulged when I went out to lunch today and I can barely move now.

 

It's Darius's fault. After a starter accompanied by the wrist slitting Goodbye My Lover by James Blunt I was feeling quite down, until Darius gave me back some optimism with Live twice. After that I was nice and upbeat and really enjoyed the rest of my meal - perhaps too much.

It doesn't take much, does it, BT? Even walking around the shops, a little Darius perks me up. That sounded like the old 'Red Bull' advert. I have images of me with little wings on my ankles drifting over the masses.

Too true. I'd like to see that.

 

I can't wait to hear the new songs he's been working on

 

 

What I shouldn't be doing is struggling to make one post. I've had to restart a couple of times. I tried the fast reply and then the new reply to no avail.

 

 

I've not been on that much again. Some days are more father-in-law intensive than others. I wish we could hear the new songs he'd been working on and had rejected even if we can't hear the unrejected ones yet.

I should be going to my bed like normal people but I'm wound tight as as spring. It'll take a good dose of Darius for me to unwind.

 

There are so many questions running through my mind but most of them need to be asked of other people and some only during the working week. I know I can't get answers to any of them and that makes me even more frustrated.

Hope you managed to unwind and go to sleep BT. Have you tried writing the questions down to get them out of your head?

Thanks, Nina. I wish I'd come on in the early morning and read that.

 

I snatched a little restless sleep. I managed to speak to 2 neighbours today but not the one who had the problem and inititiated the repairs.

 

I think I'm tired enough to get a decent sleep tonight.

I hope you do manage to sleep better tonight and can sort out your problems quite soon. I should go to bed as well.

Hope you are all sleeping soundly.

 

Last night tonight :D

I don't know how you cope with working nights and then days Pam.

Well I'm wide awake when I should be asleep :(

 

I bet I just get back to normality when I do an extra 2 night Fri/Sat :(

 

On holiday the week after....except for a training day...so hope fully should get back to normal......whatever that is

 

 

Roll on a Darius event.......................for sanity :D

Hope you're in the land of nod now Pam. I agree, wish there would be some Darius to look forward to.

I should be going to asda
