As I said in the last post Blu tagged me to post the 10th photo in my file. Well I cheated I bit because the 10th photo was of one of my best friends wedding, and I wouldn't want to post photos of others without their permission. So this is one that interests me.

It's Pevensey Castle. One of my oldest and best friends lives just around the corner in a lovely old cottage with a huge garden, that she actually doesn't like very much!!

Still back to the photo. Is it me or does it look like a face? Two big eyes and an open mouth? And one raised eyebrow over the left eye. I expect the whole thing is covered in snow now. They have had it bad around there. But I bet it looks so gorgeous.

Sorry, I know so many of you are having a hell of a time with the snow. But I love it. Mind you I'm a stay at home mum and don't have to go out in it. I lit the wood burner just now and Jamie has the lovely taxi people to take him to school. So I can sit for a while and look out at next doors garden covered in snow.

I can't look out over my own garden because it runs along the side of the house. The whole village was once owned by the same family, more or less, and so it didn't matter that the layout was a little strange. Next doors garden is actually at the back of our house. Next door the other side has it's garden in two halves, and a house around the corner has a path running through it to get to their garden. All very odd. In our own house we have two flying freeholds. Our under stairs goes into next door. And Jamie's bedroom sits over their barn, that is attached to the end of our house. Confused? So were we.

The lovely Bonnie asked me once what I see from my windows. On Monday I took a couple of photos from the back door. I'll put them in the next post.

Bloody Ears!!

Ok so Richard took Jamie to the ENT department while I whimpered at home with a migraine. The doctor was not as helpful as he might have been and insisted in squirting something nasty in Jamie's ears. He then declared that there was nothing wrong. Well, to be fair they haven't been weeping lately so we thought great, problem solved. Or not.



About ten this morning school phoned to say that there was blood coming from Jamie's left ear (the one that was most trouble). Instant panic. With the hydrocephalus we have to be watchful of the signs that the pressure has gone up. One of the signs id bleeding ears. So it was a dash to school and then to the doctors.



Turns out that the infection is back. Whatever the ENT doc did caused more harm than good. Our GP was NOT impressed. SO Jamie's back on the antibiotics. Which means another delay in his lumber puncture. We have already had to cancel it twice because of this ruddy infection. Ho hum.

Now the lovely Lane recently asked us what the fourth picture in the fourth file was on our computers. Well I was sure it would be a picture of the roof in various stages of decay. Bit its wasn't it was Charlie. ( I can't seem to get blogger to put the photo here where I want it!!
Charlie was a very superior Siamese fighting fish, no longer with us.

And for those of you following it, Mulberry Gin Chapters 4 and 5 and on number 2 blog.
