long time no speak

Not posted in a long while but just a small one now to test the waters for me.

We are off to Glastonbury tomorrow for our break so my intention is that when home I will endeavour to post again.

I have been reading my blogging favourites and latterly even managing a few comments here and there.

By the way if you are a potential burglar reading this and you have worked out where I live and see we are going away.  Don't bother coming here, the house is not being left unattended at any time.  You see I suffer anxiety separation when away from my pets and therefore need the reassurance that there every need is attended to whilst husband and myself are away.  So there.

The car is full of enough medication to account for all eventualities as outside of my normal environments I tend to have even more if that is possible mega multiple stupid accidents. You see in my own home I know where the door is and still bang into it but in unfamiliar territory so many doors, so many 'things' which just jump at me, particularly inanimate objects.  If you have Ehlers Danlos and are reading this I expect you understand implicitly that which I am trying to  explain.  My proprioception is poor at the best of times but away from home its about -10 Which with EDS means dislocation and pain.  So in anticipation of this I am sensibly prepared.

I am determined to relax big time..  repeating to myself often, think before you move any body part. 

I will not be able to climb obviously the hill to see Glastonbury Tor and the view so I intend to take photo's lying on my back at the base from my eco cabin whilst drinking a little scrumpy and snap The Crip's View of The Tor.  Husband can take the photo's when he gets to the top and after a little scrumpy I don't doubt I will imagine in my mind that in reality I did climb 'that' hill!

It will be good for him spending some quality time with moi as he rushes about a lot normally and I can't so enforced stillness will give him a much needed rest.  I have packed for every eventuality and my neighbour popped in and laughed a lot at me.  But us bendies need to know that we won't be cold or too hot. 

An elderly friend arrived with every expensive modern woman's magazine imaginable for me to read stating that she had read them and would I like them to take with me.  She is wonderful, kind and a good role model indeed in so many ways.  I will look after them and then on return from break away pass them on to my best friend who in turn will pass them on to her sister.  etc.  This is good recycling I think.  She knows I can't afford them and there is nothing like a little silly summer reading to cheer the soul.

I will officially be a year older and married 21 years on my return.  I hope to post a few pictures of one of the most beautiful places I love to be.

Can you tell I am an insy winsy little bit over excited.   Husband keeps laughing at me you know in a nice husbandy way.  So cheerio for now and keep smiling, for if you do all us bloggy lot will be smiling together and that would be just great.
