22nd July. Saved Page 01: Drive full of workmen

We were up early today - for us, 7.30am the men were already here to take up our old concrete drive and replace it with a lovely new multi-coloured Resin drive - I can't remember exactly which!! There was such a big choice....

But, they were here and immediately set to work - The noise that they made!! I was surprised how quickly they worked!!

Diagonally opposite us, is a house that we know as "Sybils House" is now a home for maybe 4-5 elderly ladies. They have Gardeners come every couple of weeks to keep the lawns and hedges in good order..... I was surprised to see 'our' workmen sit down to watch their gardeners.... It amused me......

I shouldn't comment really on 'our workmen,' they have worked today..... The concrete is up and piled, ready for the lorry - the big lorry with the grabbers on - it is amazing how quickly the piles of concrete are disappearing!

----------

I have been told that the job will be finished on Monday, then we will all be smart...... More to say next week! Love from Marjorie

Roy has added an image of our choice!

14th July Cleaning Day - Saved Page 01

Guess Who??? It's me..... I am in a good place, sitting in my chair talking to you - and two ladies doing our cleaning!! They are good - they talk like budgies as they are working .... when they have gone - the house gleams!! I also have lady who comes and collects our 'heavy washing' she takes it away - it comes back washed and ironed!! Roy gets an allowance from the government to be my Carer, and he spends it too!! He has looked after me for the last few years - I am so lucky!!

The weather has been too hot for me - I have been staying inside, I use my computer, fall asleep a lot - but at least we are getting through these hot days!!

Our Daughter Catherine, comes and takes us out - it usually means a garden centre because there is always something to look at..... most of them have furniture departments to look around! Catherine likes them as she has a new house and is still furnishing it. She has bough a big Gazebo for outside to make her dog more comfortable. It looks comical, they have shortened is legs... to dog height. It is a big, heavy dog! But loves to sit on the sofa between Roy and Me, then she tries to roll on us - very uncomfortable for us, but it is a loving gesture!!

Time to love you and leave you!! Remember, you can tell us about your day....???

Hello, I'ts Marjorie - again!! Do you look at the moon every night? I do!! What a surprise on the last two nights - it appeared hanging in the sky!! So big, so beautiful.... and bright orange!! When I went back to sit in my chair - I could still see it!! Lovely, it stayed at the top of the street a long time before it floated off into the distance....

What about the weather - it is far too hot for me!

Hello, It's Marjorie again...... On Wednesday I went on a days outing ....... I joined a group called Friends, they are a religious group who take the elderly on an outing once a year - through the year, they hold fortnightly meetings for the elderly in our village...... We were on our way to Hull, the Bus Company have a lift so that the ones with 'dodgy legs' can get on board the bus without any trouble..... then, its finding a seat to sit on!! The seat that I sat on with Roy on the last trip, was empty, so I sat there!! This time I was on my own, Roy was not well enough was not well enough to come, so it was little me on my ownyoo!!

Our first stop was at Brigg Garden Centre for our mid morning coffee..... The place was huge..... so were a lot of the plants!! Also very expensive!! I headed up in the lift to the Cafe...... The Cafe was huge - I got my coffee and scone, I didn't want to walk too far on my legs - carrying my tray - so I sat at the table nearest the counter! Nobody from our group came to sit with me, but a nice lady joined me and we talked while we munched!! There was a viewing balcony you could stand on to look at the floor bellow. I went to look - underneath was a huge - department shop - selling clothing!! Time to return to our Coach again - we headed to the Humber Bridge.

What a sight meets you as you approach the Bridge and the Estuary! As we crossed the Bridge, I was too busy looking out to sea to feel nervous on the Bridge...... But I did feel safer when the coaches wheels were back on roads again!! Then we pulled into Hull Centre - We were told we had 4 hours in Hull - and to make the best of it!! I wandered off on my own, up one of the main streets, looking for another cup of coffee!!

This street led me into a lovely town area, with trees, seating area, in the middle was a huge fountain area, the fountain was lots of jets coming up and down - little children and dogs were having fun jumping up and trying to catch the water!! Lovely - What fun!! There were hundreds of pigeons to watch, they were begging for crumbs, or, stealing them if they got the chance!!
I found myself an empty table, a waiter took my order and brought it out to me. The sun was just warm enough, to sit and watch the Hull world go by......

I was joined by a couple from the bus, I knew them by sight - they said they were going to the Transport Museum, would I like to go?? I did. and off we went.... It was quite a long walk for me, pushing the walker in front of me - it helps me walk. I went around the displays quicker than them, so I sat in the garden, while they collected me..... It was time to go and find our Coach - I am glad they could use the map on their phone to take us back to the to the Hull Truck Theatre to where we could join the Coach again, I was relieved to be with them - I would have been totally lost on my own!! Oh! Were my feet happy to get back on the Coach, I am so small - I can dangle my legs and feet and cool them down!! When I got back home to Roy, I took my watch off me to check how far I had walked - he said I had done 7,500 steps = four and a half miles --- my poor feet were sure it was more than that!!

If you get chance to visit Humber Bridge and the City of Hull -- Take it!!

I did was to hang the washing out and then scuttle back inside.... While our next door neighbour - he stretches out and sun bathes - for most of the day - I don't know how he does it!!

I have got a new 'Safety watch', this time I have one that hangs around my neck, instead of one to wear around my wrist... We shall have to see how I get on with it. I have to wear it as I fall over frequently now... the fun of getting old. Roy needs to check what I am doing when I go out.

We have decided to have our drive re-surfaced, It has been fun looking at all the surfaces and colours to choose from.... It is being done on the 21st - I can't wait to get the concrete drive removed and something more colourful going down!!

Time for me to go.... Lots of love to all xx xx Marjorie and not forgetting Roy, the husband!!

Don't forget - you can write something in this blog!!

9th July A sunny Day - in the Garden. - Saved Page 01

It's my turn today showing you a poem I wrote some time ago - it is very simple!!

A Sunny Day.

No cleaning or dusting today!

I know you pardon

I am outside in the garden.

Weeds have been teased out.

Seed sowed by hand and bird

Overhead, their song can be heard.

Chopping back last years growth,

Splitting perennial clumps, making more.

In the summer, we will have colour galore!

On the field, excited dogs are barking

Up in the sky, planes are heading to the sun!

For those on board, holiday fun, fun, fun!

My arms, back and legs are aching.

Time for a sit, relaxing with a cup of coffee,

Time to look and enjoy, the efforts made by ME!!

Still, our new blog will carry all of Marjorie's writings and your comments. Should you choose to use it, the address is www.roy-marjorie.net. Marjorie looks forward to reconnecting with you all!

Towards Sunset
Towards sunset
The grey has merged
Turned a pleasant hue
Has made pleasure like
Child's play dough. Moulded
A better end to a difficult day

Lift
Lift the corner of that sheet
it covers too much. Negativity
Hides. Dormant. An adversary
Do battle. Do nothing. Wait till
A new morrow. A new being...

You

And
When that sun
Sets. Golden clouds. Pink
Peach. Imagine this world
As a poem. As a statement
Of kind. And promises. you
Can make. The badness to
Break...

Smile
A dream awakening

There
Beneath the sheet
Beneath the waves of blanket

And the water is calm
You are safe. An angel watches over you
From somewhere safe. From somewhere
Else...

Sunset
A beginning going towards
The new day. May love and
Hope be your companions
