Day 358 of 365: Milestones

Took four residents to Milestones Living Museum today. Spent literally the last month planning for this day, and the last week freaking out about how we were even going to get there, and were there enough people to help escort. But all in all, it worked out.

Absolutely Knackered now that I pushed the heaviest resident in her wheelchair, as well as did an almost 2 mile walk with Ian when I got in. Goodness. Can barely keep my eyes open doing this post, so will keep it short.

Here are some photos from the day:

A pub inside Milestones that is a Fuller's pub, but called the original brewery name.

A real book published in 1956.

A REALLY scary fake cat at the grocers.

Now....I need sleep......

Day 339 of 365: On Our Way Back Home

Kathryn and I made our way home from Newport today.

Don't think we'll go back there again.

Our B&B was nice, and the people that work there were even nicer, but we barely got ANY sleep because there were Newport natives screaming, yelling, and playing loud music outside until about 5am today. So K got a few winks on the train, while I couldn't. Was listening to my iPod when the battery died, texted Ian when my cell phone battery died. So I sat and watched the English countryside go by.

When I got in, I was incredibly excited to load my photos onto my laptop and post them on Facebook from the show last night, and my computer wouldn't start. ARG!

Phoned my BIL, Yog, after the football (England lost to Germany 4-1) and asked his advice. He said to just bring it over to have him look at it. Great. Some other electronic device that isn't working for me.

But, got to meet Raggy when I was over visiting. K and Yog are watching Raggy for a week or so while her owners are on holiday. Quite a cute dog. :)

Day 338 of 365: No Words

Even though I have been ill, I still managed to buck up and head to Newport today with Kathryn to see Paul McCartney. :)


His show was AMAZING!!! Probably the best one I've seen of Paulie. The first two times were great, don't get me wrong, but this show was a bit more energetic.

It was great being in the same room as Sir Paul:


I love him. :)

Day 330 of 365: London Calling (Once Again)

Went up to London today to see Jamie and Alan, and also to meet Jamie's Mom Pam, and the lovely little Reagan.

Had a LOVELY day. Ian gave us a 6 hour walking tour (which, my knees are hurting quite badly now, buuuuttt...it was WELL worth it). The weather held out until it was time for us to depart and go our separate ways. But was really nice to meet Pam, as well as have snuggle time with Reagan.


And I think, and maybe this is just my opinion, but I think Ian would be a wonderful father. A little bit of practice with Reagan? lol

Day 154 of 365: Happy Graduation

My sister-in-law, K, with James

Congrats to my nephew, James, for finishing primary school today!

Day 66 of 365: He's a Dancin' Machine...

Tonight I went out with Jessie, Mike, and Nash to go shopping for an outfit for Jessie for the wedding. No luck in the clothing department, BUUUTTT, we DID have a good time.

(And for those of you that don't know, Jessie is my best friend, Mike is her husband, and Nash is their child/my godson)

Especially when we got back to their place and THIS happened:

Nashbutt Raving


Oh my goodness.....I seriously haven't laughed that hard in a LONG time. The whole evening was just funny.

I'm really going to miss those three while I'm gone.
