I have a new blog

I have a new blog called Elizabeth’s blog. Click here if you’d like to visit. I’ve started this one up so I could blog my experiences as a new writer hopefully breaking out into the writers world, and other things associated with reading. This blog is early days as I’ve just started it up today. But I hope you enjoy as I continue to blog there as well as here.

I’ve learnt something new

Well you will notice, I’ve learnt something new today, and it’s took me a long time wondering how you do it! I should have asked but didn’t, and carried on doing my blogs, so when I added a link you seen the full link. But as you will notice today on previous post I’ve done just now regarding butterflies, and linking you to Sarah’s blog, I’ve found out how. No more long links to click on.

I love butterflies

I love butterflies and Sarah has taken pictures of butterflies too, for her blog. Here’s her link to her post butterflies

 

Honest Scrap Award

Sarah from Speak up librarian has gave me an Honest Scrap Award. So after reading what this is all about, which if you click on the link below you can too, I have now done mine.

http://speakuplibrarian.blogspot.com/2009/09/honest-scrap-award.html

So here is 10 honest things about myself.

1. I only eat chicken and fish. I don’t eat any other meat. I used to not eat meat at all at one time when I was in my teens at school.

2. When I was 18 years old, bus drivers used to think I was still at school and charge me half fare on the bus, till I told em I was 18. People used to think I was mad for being honest about it. They used to say I should have got on for half fare while I could. When I was in my 20’s, I still found people used to think I was 19 or some other young age. Thankfully, buying a drink from a pub was never a problem.

3. 23rd October this year, will be 2 years since me and Richard have been going out together. I discovered after a few months going out with him, that it was love at first sight for him from the first day he met me.

4. I make hand made greeting cards, so this comes in handy when it someones birthday in the family. I don’t have to go to a shop for a card. I went into self employment in my spare time for a year doing this as well once.  Although it was by accident, I enjoyed the experience gained from it.

5. I struggle with my confidence. Its always something I’ve battled with from time to time. Hopefully I’m slowly getting better.

6. I’ve recently started doing a home study course with the Writers Bureau, called Writing For Children. So I may come out with 1 or more books for children in the future. I have 1 or 2 in the pipeline I’m working on.

7. Although I’m animal mad, I know my limits and would never overcrowd a home with pets. 1 or 2 are enough. But since Lady passed away I don’t have plans to have another pet, as I have other things to occupy me. So having a pet would not be fair at the moment.

8. I like a variety of music, but mostly I play stuff with a good beat like R& B.

9. I don’t like racism or people that behave like a thug.

10. I would never go to a school reunion. My years at a Comprehensive School were not the best years of my life. My life started when I left with GCSE’s.

Hope you liked the 10 honest things about me. My Honest Scrap Award now goes to:

A blog that was brought to my attention a few months ago that I’d like to share with you

Closing down Lady’s blog today

A short post to let you know Lady’s blog will be closed down today. I’d like to say thank you again for reading this blog and also for leaving comments.

My move has been tinged with sadness

My move has been tinged with sadness. As you know I mentioned how Lady’s test had been bought forward as she deteriorated at the weekend. The test results I waited for came back in 20 minutes and shown her kidneys were getting worse, but still very slowly, so were not bad as originally expected. I kept her in overnight at the vets, so they could flush her body of  toxins with fluids, which hopefully she would feel better enough to start eating again. Apparently she ate a bit, and when I collected her it looked promising, as first impressions her eyes looked brighter, and she seemed alert. But when I took her home, I noticed she had not got any better and still refused to eat. So sadly I had to make the decision yesterday afternoon (20th May) to put her to sleep. Which she went quickly and peacefully.

My friend Kath was kind enough to offer to have Lady buried in her garden, as so I had somewhere to go if I wanted with me being in a flat and having no garden. I said my last goodbye to Lady, and my Mum had her chance to say goodbye too, along with my friend Kath and my boyfriend Richard. I then went into the house while Richard and Kath seen to the rest. Once it was done I went outside again. Kath had picked a very lovely spot for her in her garden, which I’m extremely grateful for. 

This was the last picture I had taken of Lady before she came ill. I will be putting a notice on Lady’s Blog also about her being put to sleep. I have no plans just yet closing down Lady’s Blog. I will keep it up and running as long as there’s still visitors who want to come and visit. 

It may be a little quiet…

It may be a little quiet here on the blog for it bit, but I won’t be away long. I’m having a long weekend away at my boyfriends place. Hopefully will feel refreshed by it, but I’ll also be working on my virtual house warming party for you blogger’s that visit here. So hopefully you will like it. And it’s just for fun. I need that at the moment. Not done it before and never heard of it until Sarah suggested it in a comment on my previous topic. …so I’m working on it! And hopefully it will be on here soon, either the 20th May itself or after….you’ll have to keep your eyes peeled, or you will miss out.

Take care and bye for now.

From Face Me, I Read Lips

Here’s a link from Face Me, I Read Lips. Although she’s American, what she says is a good point that I know we have over here. And its how I feel too, so I put the link to her page for what Kim has to say http://faceme.wordpress.com/2009/04/20/dear-jefe/ Although there’s a link off her page for what Jeffery says off his blog I put this also here, so you can choose how you want to read it. http://thedeafjeff.blogspot.com/2009/04/dear-friend.html 

Both are good comments each has to say, but I’m with Kim, because although I’d like to learn BSL. I’m in the same situation as Kim. I’m in the hearing world. There’s no one I’ve come across to sign with fluently. My Mum tried to learn it once but couldn’t cope, and I find it hard too, but I STILL WANT TO LEARN, I’d like to add.

Here’s a new blog

Here’s a new blog called Liffey’s blog thats just started up and running. Liffy is a Hearing Dog. You can follow her adventures at http://lyntoo.wordpress.com I will also put this with my other blogs, so you will find this link there also.
