Hello everyone!
Apologies for my absence - been quite a bitter/sweet week or so for the clan Richardson.
Halloween was fun - my little ones were all dressed up as devils and witches (little Ava was a pumpkin ... lol, sooo funneee!) She will be furious with her daddy when she is older for dressing her like that - and taking photo's!)
Poor JR learned that the lesions on his head were skin cancers - as we suspected.
Before he met me, he had spent time in Africa and other hot countries and also 5 yrs out in Mahajanga (Majunga) Madagascar when he was in the RAF, and got awfully sunburned. (So he tells me!)
I have always made sure that he wears a hat when he is out in the sun, especially when on holidays abroad.
He had a consultation with the hospital dermatologist last night, and is now booked in for skin grafts/treatment within the next six weeks.
As for his stoma, he saw his stoma nurse on Tuesday and he has a rupture on one side, he has been told to do no more heavy work/ lifting at all
Guess that rules out him carrying me off to the bedroom when the mood takes him ....(which isn't very often these days!)
We all went over to Lucia's farm on Saturday for a bonfire/fireworks party. It was great fun, and we all had a super time (and got very merry!).
Arrived back Sunday eve. rather the worse for wear - at least I didn't end up like Old, kissing grass! LOL!!!!
Had Dom's kiddies here for a couple of days, so that's always erm, a bit energy consuming! They are so full of mischief, so lively, so funny, I love them to bits but I'm relieved when they go back to their mother for a little while, so I can catch my breath!
My sis who had the amputations is not as bitter as she was, she maybe coming round to coping, bless her. So very hard to imagine what I would be like in her shoes - Oh, Gawd, I didn't mean to say that.
Daughter Teagan phoned last night - very tired with all the day/night breast feeding demands of baby Robbie - he is over 12lbs now. She is still suffering with the wisdom tooth extraction and the dry socket thingy, as she can't take anything else other than a paracetamol.
Now then - I have GOOD NEWS! (Hurrah, everyone cries, makes a pleasant change from all the doom she has spouted recently !)
My beautiful Lucia - ( the biker chick and farmer/ess! ) has landed herself a fabulous job.
She went for the interview on Monday, and got the job on Tuesday.
She is now officially on the medical staff at the Internationally renowned Addenbrooke's hospital in Cambridge as administrator for recruiting doctors.
WOW! what a great achievement. I'm so proud of her .....
I have sooo enjoyed the choons you guys have submitted - some really 'falling off chair, rocking, head bangin' stuff' Brill!
Books, I also remember buying Embassy records from Woolies, it was a cheaper way to get the music/choons that we loved at a much cheaper price.
I seem to remember that I used to pay about 6 shillings and 8 pence but I can't remember if that was for the real thing or the Woolies Embassy version.
Thanks so much for all the just fantastic music you guys have forwarded - just awesome choices everyone.
Now then, I think us ladies should have a little bit of eye candy ... YEEHAW!
