Poorly Pepsi :-(

Posted on April 10, 2013 by Rusty

He has thrown a joint / disc / something again today while we were out. Sadly he has ha zero desire to move since we got in at 16:30 including having no desire to eat 🙁

Daddy took him outside to wee etc but he would not get off his bed. His cries out are whenever he tries to move and we are still unsure whether it front legs or back – suspect it is same place in his back he did the first time – ie just behind his shoulders and hence not front or back per se.

So, a trip to the vet is looking highly likely in the morning 🙁

Poorly Mummy – Tonsillitis :-(

Posted on April 10, 2013 by Rusty

Mummy nipped into the Wakefield drop in centre today to have her throat diagnosed – she has a bacterial tonsillitis that has infected the right side rather badly 🙁

So, she now has 80 tablets to take over the next 10 days 🙁 Interesting that they give tablets for somebody who is struggling to swallow 🙁

Hopefully she will feel better in a few more days…

Fountains Abbey day trip

Posted on April 9, 2013 by Rusty

We set out this morning at just after 10:30 heading to Fountains Abbey near Ripon – part of the National Trust gig that we bought into earlier in the month. May as well get our money’s worth 🙂

Anyway, it was a cold day today, despite the sun making some solid appearances. The boys LOVED climbing around the Abbey but were a little less keen on the walk to the water gardens at the other side of the area. We even managed to find the (well hidden) golden egg during our trip – see if you can find the photo of Elliot pointing to it 🙂

Poor mummy has been poorly for the last few days and today was no exception sadly – ibuprofen wore off half way around and we left additional drugs at home 🙁 Cold drinks appear to keep the swallowing pain at bay a tad, although the ibuprofen helps to reduce the pain completely for an hour or two. Hopefully tomorrow mummy will feel a bit better, else a trip to the Doctors will be in order – i.e. it will be the 5th day of illness 🙁

Photos from today are in the photo gallery but here is a link to them to save time…

Not below ZERO :-)

Posted on April 8, 2013 by Rusty

Wow, last night was the first night in the last couple of months that the air temperature did NOT go below ZERO Celcius!!!

We are only into the second week of April….

Let’s hope it stays thi way and we get more sunshine 🙂

Harewood House Trip

Posted on April 7, 2013 by Rusty

Today, we head over to Harewood House in North Leeds with the Drewetts for a daytrip and picnic. It was an expensive affair in that is cost £26 to get in with the family and the car, which seems slightly steep for an adventure playground and gardens, but then, guess it is the going rate 🙁

Anyway, we had a great day and the sun shined pretty much all of it. In fact, daddy has actually got a slightly sunburnt face to boot 🙂

The kids played together great all day and will sleep well tonight – all day running around in the great outdoors…

Video footage from the day can be found here (20Mb)
