	Morning All, (JUST). Been busy looking after his lordship. Bacon sandwhich, Weetabi#, milky coffee. Have vacumed all through. Ros can hardly walk today, her back and leg are terrible she's living on pain killers. Rang doctor. Got to ring 8.am Friday. nothing till then. I would have gone up and waited till they had finished surgery, then they would have had to see me, but she's not like that. Jane Weedon is about 10 miles from us, down the A43 then up the A5

Member Since: March 2010 Posts: 1,101 Send Message	Your poor wife Frank, I am sorry. Has she get sciatica? if so, that is really wicked. I had it some years ago and it reduced me to tears the pain was so bad. In the end I had Acupuncture and that did the trick. It doesn't always work with everyone though, but might be worth a try. Tomorrow we go to Wantage, to see the family! daughter, Son,S-in Law and three Grandchildren, Polly aged 10 Alice aged 7 and Edward aged 3. The girls are absolute dears, Edward is a dear BUT lively! need I say more!!! full of charm too which doesn't help on the disipline front!!! I can't wait to see them, 3 months is FAR too long!

Lovely and sunny ,washing all dry .

Member Since: March 2008 Posts: 110 Send Message	Lovely here too now...still got this vertigo, but am going to brave it with a walk with dog. Just hope she does nt see a rabbit! Seen lots of red kites about this morning,also a common buzzard.Sometimes the crows attack the kites,fasinating to watch.. I went to a birds of prey centre couple of weeks ago...it was so quiet there, they let me fly a couple of kestrels,harris hawk and a milky owl(african). Anyway, i m hooked.. i want to learn falconery, so am looking for suitable course and eventually have my own bird..a harris hawk i hope. Has anyone done any falconary?? On with the wellies now...dont think i ll walk too near the lake!!!!

Member Since: March 2010 Posts: 1,101 Send Message	Heavens no Jill I've never done Falconary, but I think it would be a brilliant thing to do. We've got a Falconary place quite close to us here on Exmoor, and is a really interesting place to visit. Horrible blow fly buzzing round, must be the sun bringing them out!
