RAIN OR SHINE

 Helen bought more paint for the spare bedroom we are doing one of the walls in a deep dark purple colour from Farrow & Ball will do it when my son moves out its only one wall and I have a roll of low tack masking tape and a new roller frame and roller sleeve should be a blast .

Having a week of work or nine days including the weekends I always seem to have an idea what I will do but it never pans out that way wonder why that is .

Took Bailey to the vets he is limping they said he had pulled a ligament inches knee he might have to have an operation to repair it or it could heal itself over the next few weeks , it helps him being a small dog he has been given some meds to prevent swelling and pain although he is not distressed or showing signs of being in any pain other than slightly limping .

My son has only two more nights with us and he moves out this coming Saturday to live back in York hopefully it will be a bright and sunny day , but either way rain or shine life is what you make it or he makes it .

Will he cope if he gets a job and stays away from drink and drugs yes , if he is unemployed and living on universal credit yes if he stays away from drink and drugs , he can manage if he budgets for his food and other necessities . Do I believe he will make it he is capable and more than able if he wants to prove to himself he will if nothing changes he will fail and  fall and he will more than likely struggle for the rest of his life .He needs to see the joy in starting again accept the challenge he is at base camp it might be a long difficult climb but he can reach the summit the peak the very top of the mountain if he chooses and accepts the gauntlet thrown down in front of him .
