Went to visit my daughter with Helen in their new house that they are all renting she wants a dragon tattoo my daughter not Helen she text me half one in the morning to tell me as it happened i was awake when she was fourteen she wanted a dragon and has never faltered trouble is she wants a complete back piece going down her shoulder and leg , she is now nineteen and lives with her flat mates and they are all hairdressers working at the same salon the house is opposite where they live , and all get on with each other and all look out for each one an other its a great set up and all seem to enjoy living in the home that they share its a ideal situation.
one of the girls has two children who stay alternative weekends everyone has an interest in caring for the children in effect the kids have four mothers what can be wrong with that.

Helen went to see her own G.P and was prescribed some stronger pain killers this was Tuesday the hospital was suppose to fax/email there findings never happened.
work has been really busy and i have been staining the island worktop every night only to mess the varnishing up for some reason it didn't take ,i will have to sand it down and re do it not a five minute job was annoyed to say the least.
manage to get the pan rack up and Helen already dressed the airer before she went in to hospital painting the chimney breast green to match the radiator wall apart from that nothing great has happened it is also confirmed this week that we are not going to the Isle of Wight which as caused many problems and will do for sometime. sent the ferry tickets back for a refund not that i will get the amount i paid for them obvious its Britain nobody does nowt for nothing if there's a booking fee sure going to be a cancellation fee.

Saturday
We both had a easy day yesterday i went out in the morning to get cornflakes , brown bread and marmalade bought eight pints of milk and two bags of sugar a large jar of nescafe and two boxes of tea bags for tea/supper had fish and chips , lacquered varnished island worktop before going to bed Helen had some head pains but on the whole was ok for most the day

Helen as her Cat scan done this morning hopefully it will give a all clear and she can return home ,its nearly one and Helen has not had her scan done hopefully it be soon and we will get to know what is wrong with her.

went shopping bought some cooked chicken breast and some ham bread cakes and fruit loaf also some bottled water and some lemon muffins two barbecues chicken pizzas and some chicken tikka masala.
be nice to fill the house full of flowers for Helen's return home but impractical unless your Elton John of course i can understand why he is obsessed with flowers will have to get her some flowers for her hospital bedside .

late afternoon Helen went for her scan i was at my evening job she had seen the doctor and the results where that she had not had a stroke but a very serious strain of migraine ,although she can come home Helen will have to see a neurologist and go see her own G.P for after care, for now see is free to return home. I picked her up just after eight pm we had to go back to the ward after ten o clock in the evening to pick her medication up.

Went to my sisters house for a coffee she has just got two seven week old kittens which are trouble every minute they are not asleep he-he.

Took Helen to A&E last night after i had finished work , she had been having a burning sensation in her head , and the left said of her face felt numb and had ever so slightly drooped, after four hours and just before midnight she was admitted to Hospital, and a bed found for her on the acute ward.They think she has had a mini stroke during the night but wont know for sure until they do more tests and scans take place hopefully by later today.

it was amazing how man people in A&E due to drink and drugs many mentioned when asked what medication they was on said booze and methadone one even turned up with a suitcase he knew he was going to get a bed and no doubt medication, shower food and clean sheets.

I got home this morning at half one and as soon as i walked through the door i was missing her , our rag-doll Harvey was also missing Helen and he knew something was a miss, he as been chatting away constantly like he is asking questions that he needs answers to he is a very loyal cat and will be with Helen and follow her around from room to room most of the day.

something like this is a massive wake up call and you realize what you would miss if its taken away from you , not that i don't realize i do , but it makes you want to walk on beaches see the sunrise and sunset and get closer to nature and to visit the places you always wanted to but never will .

we spend too much time worrying over stuff we cant change that we miss out on the simple pleasures we spend too much money on doing stuff we shouldn't be doing and need spend more time on getting out of the house to pastures new and chilling need to buy a bike rack so we can cycle we have mentioned this in the past and it never happened said we was going to bye a tent and some basic camping equipment this has never happened to buy a barbecue so we can eat alfresco we can do all of these and we haven't , we are just building regrets for when we are older if we have the means to do it then we should just do it.

cant afford to waste anymore time and but stuff off we might not ever get a second chance if we don't do things first time round then its our own fault.

everything i want to do i want to do it with Helen that's why i walked out of my home and marriage to start again, to get things right to make changes in the way i live and the way i do things to have a second chance and a new beginning. Helen basically did the same when she walked out of her house and marriage to be with me so its important that from this day forward we get it right and make changes which are so obvious we should be making.And why is it at times like these you realize that you haven't got enough photos of us as a couple something else i have known for ages and not done anything about

Went back to visit Helen this morning and to drop her some stuff off she needed her mobile charger and her Jim jams and book she is reading will go back at two this afternoon i have took the day of work.

The photo is of the chapel at St James hospital i grew up passing the clock every day going to and from school both primary and secondary.

Three days of painting and finishing of and still not done , need a sink need flooring and still need to put rest of kitchen in, and worktop need a lottery win to finish house off how i we would like it , will get there one day , hopefully .



Back to work tomorrow been going to bed late and getting up early no problem bet tomorrow i cant get my arse out of bed be yawning all day .
Helen as got to finish off the airer put all the flowers and other decorations on it it the attention to detail i don't have.
sure i have seen a shadow out of the corner of my eye , in the house that has twice walked past me today and Helen saw something earlier on spooky
