Still catching up

Oh Amy! Are you sure your name isn't Jane with all the calamities! Seriously , so very sorry to hear about all the mishaps.

Things happen in threes the old saying goes so hopefully you have had your full share.

Glad to see you still have a sense of humour!

Amy this is just incredible - maybe you need an exorcist! Only joking and it isn't funny at all is it? Really really hope that you turn the corner as of NOW!

Good heavens, Amy, what rotten luck your having (think Stera is right about the exorcist)!

Poor T, did the dog just jump up at him or was it actually aggressive, hope he wasn't bitten!

Love the New Forest, we went down for the w/end & met Violet for the first time. When Luke & Lindsay first moved there they would feed carrots to the donkeys that came to their back door, then the donkeys started coming all the time demanding more - they don't feed them anymore :).
They also get visits from cattle as well as horses.

Some wonderful photos there Amy sad to hear your run of bad luck some times I think its fate missing worse bad luck that could be ahead and these delay you being there. May I ask is your hubby in good health . What a lovely surprise with the Zantedeschia great colour.

My OH calls me Clumsy Eirlys not that any of this was my fault but calamity jane fits the bill nicely lets hope this is a new start ..Stera I have small lucky elephants maybe I'm not feeding them right :o(
Mari the dog was aggressive luckily T. wasn't bitten other kind people came to his rescue helping him up we actually saw many dogs that day looking hot tired and bothered from the heat I'm sure it was all too much for them to cope with .It was nice that you were able to meet Violet what a lovely area for them to live in ,The donkeys pushed their heads into the cars at every opportunity looking for tit-bits I was hoping to see the piggies but they're not allowed out until the acorns are ready in the autumn ,we were lucky to see them on a previous trip . One railway arch was so crowded with ponies trying to keep cool the cars couldn't go through they were refusing to move ..
Thanks 3p thats a nice way of looking at bad luck, yes hubby is in good health thank you for asking ,The Zant.... were very welcome especially as there isn't very much colour as yet in the garden ,it's very much a work in progress ..

I pressed Like Amy...but that was only for the peaceful tranquility you enjoyed on your holiday...NOT for all the additional hassles which you could do well without!

So pleased to hear your hubby is well Amy.

Amy, it was tough reading this!
Why you?
One thing after another but at some point it has got to stop - I do hope so.
I am getting quite anxious about reading your blogs you know!!!

I agree Chris...it does seem to be challenge overload for Amy doesn’t it. Maybe if we were all to send energetic positive thoughts in her direction.....

I hope things will get better for you Amy. You're going through some stressful times.
I'm glad you had a holiday. At least it was a break from the house and the New Forest is so beautiful.
Regards to Tony. and hope he's all right now.

Amy yes some lovely pictures ,but getting lost for words as to the dreadful things that happen to you both.
xx

It never seems to rain,but pours,for you and Tony lately does it, ? as the sying goes ! OH my,poor Tony,so glad he is ok,but scary all the same..I guess the hot weather could have affected the dog,and others,as you say..I have felt sorry for all animals in that heat...

On a positive note,at least you had a nice restful holiday(apart from the dog incident) ,just lucky it wasn't a Donkey instead ..lol.Also finding those lovely Zantedechia in flower when you got home,was a nice unexpected treat ...Lymington looks so pretty too..somewhere we haven't been in that area...

I think we all wonder what is going to be next,Amy..surely it has to be all good news from now on ? xxx

What a carry on, Amy. Glad you enjoyed the meals out while back home the freezer was defrosting. :0/
That is so annoying. What a waste.
Hope the dog episode didn't spoil your holiday.

Thank you for all your nice comments and kind thoughts I'll pass them on to T.. ,it has been a stressful year so far please don't worry we're pretty resilient providing we have our health we tend to jump up and start again , we've arranged to have a new bathroom which includes taking out the bath replacing it with a shower new sink, toilet etc. ,keep your fingers crossed for that when it happens please ...
We have an invitation to a Mexican party my Moustache arrived this morning lets hope the rest of the fancy dress is on it's way Lol ... x

Amy, oh dear, I can only sympathise with your recent bad look. You don't deserve it, poor you, poor Tony x

I think you'd look very attractive in a moustache Amy ! :D xxx

Unbelievable misfortune seems to dog you (poor choice of words there!) but you both seem to come through it all with your sense of humour intact!

Lol Hywel at your comment ... :o)

Don't worry Dawn we've survived x Hywel you're too kind Lol I haven't tried it on I presume it sticks so I'm saving the sticky stuff for the party :o)) I like your choice of words Shirley you have to laugh if not you might cry ..

Amy, love your spirit x

Just keep thinking about your magical Zantedechia and the forthcoming party! Two lovely things! Good luck!

Dawn x ... Thank you penny :o))

pressed like because of your resilience in the face of adversity. hope things improve from now on.

You're a trooper Amy in the face of adversity. I hope it's all sorted by now & that your husband doing fine. I remember a line from one of my favorite Broadway shows - 'These things are sent to try us." You've passed the test with flying colors. I love the pictures you've posted above. Looks like a wonderful place to live.

Thanks Sbg I'm sure they will Fingers crossed , Thanks for that Paul , Your seeds have given me immense pleasure I've thoroughly enjoyed watching each one grow and bloom ..

Oh Amy...well it's good that you have a strong backbone to be able to withstand such an onslaught of bad luck or weird events.. I do hope Tony is ok and the bumps and bruises are mending and fading and the holiday wasn't spoiled too much. I think you need to stand in the main room of your new home and give it a talking to. It may have been playing jokes, but it's certainly not funny anymore, you're there to love and care for it and it needs to give you both a belated warm welcome! I hope the wasps have vacated the loft and any other wild creatures are leaving, especially ones that may have chewed through electric wiring.
I'm sending you positive thoughts and wishes, and really hope your run of bad luck is well and truly behind you...
Take care....Xxx

Thanks janey ,it's lovey to hear from you , The new bathroom is being delivered tomorrow I'm not sure if the work will start at once ,it's going to be fun or not Xxx

Oh my goodness me, whatever next Amy!! you couldn't make it up if you tried could you?
I do hope Tony has recovered from his attack!
Lets hope the bathroom is stress free......you can but hope! do keep us posted, its good that it doesn't get you down....
We have a leaking conservatory atm so bowls and jugs are collecting rain water as I type, might need to put raincoats on to have our lunch lol!!
I am sending you some positive thoughts too, love Angela
(have sent you a pm)

Thanks Angela , good luck with the leak I hope it isn't as bad as it looks ... Xx

Thanks.....no rain forecast for some time...so all should be well!

cor AMY , hope things have settled down

Hava you tried a rosemary bush by your front door is a wonderful protector of keeping negativity outside.
And just for good measure lavender dotted around the garden .... worth a try

Gg

Thanks for your input Andy Funny you should say that I've planted a whole row of Lavender since moving here and have a Rosemary in a pot . things are finally settling down ,the new bathroom is almost finished and looking lovely just a few bits for the plumber to finish off we were able to use it for our son coming down this last week for a holiday it's the first time I've known his teenage boys to have showers voluntarily without being told .Ha ha .

Hb yes do get a Rosemary bush it could well save you a lot of hassle Lol
We're off to Derbyshire tomorrow for a holiday please put in a word to the weatherman for some sunshine , Thank you ... x
