I helped with delivery of little Charlie 🐎 we weren't sure if he was a mini horse or mini mule! Now we think horse 🐎

I am sitting beside DH. He is still in the hospital. I hope to see his doctor and find out what comes next. I hope DH will be able to come home with me. There is discussion of a care facility near where our daughter lives. I could cooperate with that if it is needed. DH is currently sleeping.

Rita - That 2nd photo is worthy of a frame!

Been downloading a couple of books to my Kindle. I love having books to look forward to. Also downloaded a few podcasts for the journeys to and from the ship, if needed.
We never have much time for reading on a cruise. There is always so much to be doing, and in between I'm napping! I'm normally such a voracious reader!
I have bought data for 8 days in Europe. That will start in Lisbon, but won't last until Gibraltar. I may decide to pay extra.

Edie dropped off a thank you card she had made today. So sweet. I love our conversations.

Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

Nothing real exciting, just work. HOWEVER...none tomorrow so I’m planning to do Jillian Michaels 10 Minute Body Transformation DVD.

Went to the funeral of that lady I saw in hospice. Saw some Newcomers that I haven’t seen in a long, long, time

My lower left wisdom tooth is hurting. If it isn’t better by Monday, I’ll call the dentist. Sometimes you bite on something hard and the tooth gets sensitive but then gets better as time goes on. I’m hoping that if it doesn’t get better (I have a suspicion that it might not) it’s just a cavity. The good thing is that I don’t want to eat anything hard so I’m avoiding eating at all. Hard being a raw carrot or biting into an apple

Got the spikey-things that you put on your shoes to aerate the ground today. So I’ll probably do that tomorrow.

Made a pineapple angel food cake so it could cool while we were at the funeral. Made these pizza muffin meatloaves to have during the week.

Took a t-shirt from work today. Now I have five! I’ll try to get another one.

Evelyn – fortunately, Jerry really doesn’t do much in the kitchen. He mostly cleans the floor, the bathroom, sometimes he makes the eggs but they can not have him do that. But you’re right, the chances of him falling are there. Well….all I can say is “not my problem”. I’m thinking that for any other employee, this would be grounds for immediate dismissal. Which is why I wonder if they have an agreement with someone.

Viv – that is so very nice of you to at least take those kittens to the SPCA. The kittens that were found in the cockpit of the plane have been taken to the SPCA.

Heather – one time when I was away, Denise showed Vince how to run the dishwasher

Allie – Myles is getting cuter every day. Love him in the pumpkin

Loving all the pictures!

Mary Charlie is a piece of heaven

Want to watch a bit of TV, then take a shower. Will be able to get a few walks in tomorrow. Did I tell you how much I hate it getting dark so early? I used to go for a walk after dinner. Now it gets dark wayyyy too early.

I am a huge fan of the seasons. The long dark mornings please me in the same way as the endless daylight and all the intermediate times. What bugs me is the abrupt time change

Our daughter, grandson & I spent time with DH at the hospital. His doctors were excellent. He is doing better & I hope he continues to improve. I hope to see him again soon. I am praying that he gets better every day. ❤️

I like as much daylight while I am awake and active as possible.

I miss the northern Alberta summers ... further north than Edmonton. Spent many years growing up there.

But not so keen on the winters up there.

Today was sunny ... it's supposed to start raining again tomorrow, but today was sunny!

So we went for a 50 km bicycle ride.

With Explanation ...

Oct 20: - Rhody, of course.


Oct 21: - Our beehive, with bees.


Oct 22: - Our patio area and the gravel work we did last summer to make it a nice place to be on a warm summer day. Also to make it a dry place to be when we have a whole lot of rain like we have had lately. Previously this area would have been a swamp. And that is Rhody in the middle too.


Oct 23: - One of my colouring pages. I colour to relax.


Oct 24: - Graduating! And of course, me with my husband. Reaching a milestone, accomplishing.


Oct 25: - Books to read, under my bed. Relaxing.


Oct 26: - Cycletouring and cycling in general. Plus travelling. That was taken outside a B&B in Scotland on a long travelling adventure in 2012.


Oct 27: - My favourite road for cycling. This road is such a beautiful road to ride in terms of road quality and scenery.


Oct 28: - Top of a mountain near where my parents live. I climbed it with my husband and one of my cousins. I like climbing to the tops of mountains and feeling like I'm on top of the world. That was on Canada Day in 2017, I think.


Oct 29: - A flower. I love flowers. This one is a peace rose which I especially like. And the picture also represents photography, something else I enjoy.

Our clocks went back this weekend. Of, course, I woke up very early.
In the night I woke up to see DH was reading on his Kindle. Assumed it was nerves about the holiday. He can get real anxiety at some point beforehand.
This morning when I eventually decided to give up on the night, I asked him if he wanted to make us a cup of tea. Then we chatted.
We burrowed down to see what he was worrying about. He always says he is worrying about being worried. At first, he said it was fear of not being able to cope and making a public exhibition of himself. Then we got a bit deeper and I felt we had hit it when he said it was fear of really needing someone to help him and not being able to do it on his own. (He hates asking for help) Obviously, for him, needing someone is the worst thing. Not being competent and able to find his own way. (He was adopted, separated from his twin sister, after months alone in an orphanage) His adoptive mother had severe mental health issues, and often created chaos and worry.
Of course, I said it's OK to need people etc. Did my therapy bit.
I think we got somewhere. His pre holiday anxiety used to be much worse and last longer.

Now breakfast!

Lay it flat so that it reflects the ceiling (a section of the ceiling with no lights). Check that it is reflecting the plain ceiling from all angles. Take a photo from a high point above the picture so that you get the whole picture plus some carpet or cupboard around the edges. Use Paint.net to trim the edges so it's neat. And post.

Or take the photo out of the frame.

I’ve not had much time for comments this week but I have been reading along. Next week is even busier. Reading your posts is such a boost.

Pip: You’ll soon have those two as fit and healthy as yourselves.
Rebecca: Good to hear that you are feeling better.
Allie: Myles of Smiles with that cutie.

Katla:(((Hugs)))

Machka: Such a privilege to hold a new grand baby and think of all that potential. 🥰the gratitude list.

Heather: Family gives us so much pleasure. It’s wonderful to see how you and Johnny are enriching their lives. Enjoy your cruise dear girl. You have earned it. 🥰 the relationship advice. Very important to show appreciation to SO.

Lisa: Your fortitude and positive spirit is a joy to me.

Clocks have changed. It’s good to get the early morning light again for a few more weeks. The incessant rain of the last few days has abated and the sky is glowing with light.

Autumn glows with fiery shades
along the paths in woodland glades,
thickly layered with golden hues
as Summer pays her annual dues,
for Mother Nature to mulch and feed,
so Spring can nurture next year’s seed.
