A little apology to people I was in conversation with

I don't mind being rude in my answers to some of you ;-) but I hate being rude by not answering people - I honestly can't afford the time for now though hence the ' I'm sorry' - I'll see ya soon enough though and I am sure there are more battles ahead for us all to enjoy, love and peace xxx
 
Hope that all is well. Enjoy your sabbatical.
All is well dear friend, my daughter is going back to London after a year in the country with me so it will just be a bed ridden ancient old Sunshine, the birds and me here alone most of the time and because my dear old 'last one standing' is fading and not actually standing at all with out support, I have had to think seriously of a life without any of my darlings, my pack, who shared my life for the last 20 years - there is enough physical work to keep me busy but I needed to think of something to throw myself into so that I won't just fall apart when she does leave this and my life.

I have starting up a couple of community/village projects which I want to concentrate on now without the distraction of you lot, it is just so hard to break away from here once a battle starts to rage ;-) xxx

I am not gone gone though, just for a bit to give me space to get these projects off the ground.

You can always PM me if you want to chat 'cos they come to my e mail xxx Warm love to you and all even 'enemies'.

You have no enemies. There are debates and disagreements but no enemies. Be good to yourself and enjoy Sunshine, the birds, and your projects. Hard to readjust back when children leave after an extended stay.

'enemies' :)

She will be back and forth, it is quieter to write here but yes one usually just slumps when visitors, especially loved ones, go - which is ok for a couple of days but there are so many other changes in my life now I had to rethink and find new horizons :)

I had lived alone, people wise, for so long it was not always easy sharing my life with a daughter, one so easily falls back to being 'mum' again doesn't one - it will be nice in some ways to be just me again too :) As I am sure it will be for her too -

As far as I can tell, Queen, you are rude in all the right places.

You're okay in my book.............even if we disagree on some things.

Lol xxx I shall pop in and try not to be rude in any places at all, for a while, it only causes rude answers which are incredible hard to resist rudely answering back ;-)

You have no idea how tempting the 'alerts' I am now resisting are :)

Oh, I think I have a good idea........:) I am resisting one from my alert right now.
I do try to know the trigger points of some of my frenimies that I actually sorta like and I avoid touching those when I'm insulting. I love the excellent insult. The aim is to make insults that use great (seldom used) words put together in slightly funny ways. The goal isn't (or shouldn't be) to actually slice up the person's esteem. I appreciate an excellent insult when it's used on me and I say so when I see one. Too often, our insulting techniques here are mundane.

One little bird story and then I shall be off - It is a longish story how I aquired 'my' birds but they live in aviaries in the garden, so are little flocks, one is Australia and the other Africa.

A few years ago a terrible thing happened, the council, we found out later, had stopped putting down rat poison and suddenly, overnight really, we were completely over run - towns, villages, village ponds, stables, everywhere they were all over the houses, gardens, everywhere, bedrooms, kitchen, sitting room - a night mare and - well anyway yes the birds too :( I bought those who survived in until the rats were gone and made their aviaries safe, and swapped over their aviaries so they wouldn't be scared but the sensitive Cockatiels have taken years recover - but :)

In Australia, where they live, five of them, a baby has been born at last, a very ugly baby :) - they all look after it, there is always someone else in the nest box with it, it is so precious to them - but - it keeps jumping out of its nest box, much too young, every day at the same time, I find it on the floor and every day take it out for some sun shine and a little look around and every day pop it back in its box. Funny little thing - it bite me so hard the first time I picked up but now just sits there waiting for the hand which will magically take it up.

That's austerity for ya - no more 'pest control' in the sewers.

My daughter went to the funeral of one of our old Politicians last week - his son spoke of the time when his father had been the most hated man in England, there were death threats and he had to have a Police guard on the door - All Politicians should be that sort of person who dares to be so hated, to stand alone, for their belief - and so should we all :) xxx night night xxxx

Ma'am, if it's okay, I will pm you a "bird" story. Some years ago, we "acquired" a bird. His/her story is a significant piece of our family memories.

I've only been here a short while. Yet, I've enjoyed reading many of your contributions to the forum. Enjoy your time away!!!!

Thank you, it is a touching and very beautiful and profound story. I shall never forget your Bird now either, not ever.
We tell our animal stories on here and somehow carry each others animals in our hearts even though we growl at each other as people. Ahhhhhh :)

As for my posts lol - I'm a bane to many I think - disallowing anyone to ever feel quite comfortable in their boots ;-) Thank you though - especially as you don't know what a terrible poster I once was with every other word being fu'ck and the rest just a muddle of emotions :)

Have fun with 'the family' xxx

And remember it is not until you are called an 'idiot' that you know that you are really accepted ;-)

How long will you be in Rehab this time?

Lol - I dunno Jack - how long was it? A week a month, whose countin' ? :)
It was long enough that I for one was getting a bit worried. Since we're not (ahem) spring chickens anymore, I've been concerned.

I kind of envy your solitude. I'd like to be able to try some on for size for a while.;) My dysfunctional family keeps getting more dysfunctional and so much keeps landing in my lap. The thing that's almost funny is that they will avoid telling me some things because they don't want to stress me out, but then those 'things' turn into 'things' that are much bigger and that's when I get pulled in.:rolleyes:

Coming here is a bit of an escape but I don't get to do it as often as I would like. Anyway, enjoy your time and we'll look forward to seeing you regularly soon.:)

Oh God, I couldn't do without solitude, not now - though oops! Never say never :)

I tend to have periods in life where I am almost a hermit-ess which some how fill my well and gives me time to make sense of it all, come to a place of peace, then I venture out again to battle on and have fun of course.

My main reason for breaking off for a while was because Sunnys' needs were become constant, she needed my full attention - even though I didn't 'speak it' she was close to death and hospic care is a full time, 7/24, job - one has to be in tune with the fading away one even in sleep, she slept next to me and just a change in her breathing would wake me - aaaahh darling one :)
In the end I knew she would go that night or the next day, distressingly so because all was shutting down, and so called my Angel of a vet - Oh what an Angel she is, her whole thing is that pets should 'go' in their own homes - Just before she arrived I had said to my daughter, after settling Sunny after a frightening happening to her body, which had passed, and she was sleeping 'How lucky vets are 'cos they can choose the moment they help their own animals pass, if I were a vet, this would be that moment' and in walked Sue - after hellos and a half hearted sniff from Sunny who hardly had the energy by then to even lift her head, Sue asked if I had something nice to give Sunny to eat while she gave her the morphine cocktail - a mashed up tin of pilchards in tomatoes -which she ate with gusto and then fell gently asleep (stoned) :) And then the big blue 'end game' with hardly a change of breath she went - perfect, a perfect ending for a darling who left only love behind her :)

I had been quite worried about myself, after she was gone, I really had no idea how I was going to react, toward the end I often whispered 'what will I do without you? to Sunny - we had become as one almost - But - and I still haven't made sense of it but perhaps it is because we were so close that I have not found it hard - it is gentle and sort of like an 'element', it is a part of me as she was -

Perhaps it is because I was the carer, maybe, it is because one has to detach or rather rise above the emotions one otherwise feel, as I did with the others, when you are the one doing 'the doing' and for such a long time - I had hardly left the house for over a year, never leaving her even from room to room for more then ten mins at a time - Oh I dunno but I shan't question it or try to fathom it what ever has happened she has left behind such peace and gentleness and love - and I am so grateful to her for lingering with me for so long. aaaaahhh darling one.

Anyway I have been out and about since, the Thursday before last - that night we left her in her bed and went to the pub she stayed there over night with me in bed next to her - next day I tell you I have no idea how I managed to dig her grave, the others had been ok 'cos all I was doing was to help the dogs still living but God Sunnys' was tough - anyway I did and Sis came over to help carry her down the garden - lol we both kept thinking of other things to do first - go and buy a plant for her grave, eat, another cuppa -meanwhile the flies had found Sunny ( who hated flies in life, and we bit the bullet - my my it was a perfect grave, a perfect fit :) so at last I got the last one right - and our little graveyard is complete, they have their Mama :-(

Next day I got the bus and went to Arundel where they were making the carpet of flowers for Corpus Christi, the Cathedral smelled wonderful

and there was a Cricket match going on, Talked to some gets from up North down for a Match as we walked up the Hill, I now know all the gossip from Sheffield - and that the Castle Stables are becoming derelict after the death of the Race horse owner who owned the Stables -

talked to lots of people, lit a candle for Sunny in another Church - shopped for nice food in lovely shops and sat by the River -

Got the bus to Amberly with daughter one day and sat in the Grave Yard sketching

Aaaannd on Saturday I went with my Sister to a fracking thingy that the Council had set up in Pulborough -it was interesting, there were the Cons as well as the Pros and a few speakers in various rooms - the Scientist was a [Unwelcome language removed] who had worked for BP - actually he was doing more good for the Cons than the pros he was so condescending but the one I found most interesting was the Balcombe Parish
Councillor and then we went with daughter back to Amberley for tea on the River :)

Sooo gently gently back into the big wide world - aaaannnd if it looks like a gentle landscape her mmmmmmm! Beware my daughter was chased by Cows the other week looooooooooool - people will feed em!

And it feels as though, though I can't really explain it, that I carry Sunny in my heart, that she is with me yet - istead of my heart breaking, though I have moments, it feels as though my heart if full, comfortably full :)

Weeeell - I hadn't meant to say all that as I came to answer you darling Bolt - No I don't envy you your troubles and do know how it is to live in such turmoil, other peoples turmoil - I sort of see peoples natures as natural elements now, in a funny way, as a River with eddies and calm peaceful bits and white waters and Oh do you know what I mean? Unchangables who are just as they are and one must cope with them as they are, or deal with and that the best protection is to know them well :) xxxx

Love and stuff xxxx

You know that Sunny is still with you. You also know that you gave her the most perfect death possible. We all should be so lucky when it's our time.:)

I know, one vet said she, Sunny, got better care than many many too many people do :( Oh when we ever learn eh?


lol I must add - I really don't fancy dying with the taste of tin pilchards in tomato sauce in my mouth though ;-)
