Lilo update, exam results, more filming and planning some time away!

Lilo is talking to us now!! But only after loads of tuna to eat and the taking off of  the collar. But Lou has just informed me that it will have to go back on - scratching again!
Less trouble giving the meds now - he he - her love of a little tuna laced with antibiotics - i know, i do bribery on a large scale!!


Paul got his exam results this week. Higher Geography and Higher RMPS he got C's for. And int 2 English he got a C as well. He is thinking iof asking the school to appeal the Geography and RMPS results since the predictions were A/B. So that will get done at some point in the next few days. Luckily, the results did not affect the college place - he had an unconditional to do his Music. So registration is tomorrow.


After our successful try at filming a few months ago, we have now been asked by Enable to do some filming for them!! They wanted a family to tell of their experience with the Self Directed Support and Ashleigh sent them in our direction. The guy came to see us and explained what he wanted to do and we have some filming to do next week. They also want to come with us to Skye in a couple of weeks time to film there as well!!! 



Which brings me to our planning a break!! In 2 weeks, 2 days time, we will be heading to Skye to visit my friend Linda and her Dad and one of her daughters. We went up last october and had a blast and decided another visit was in order. Thankfully, they agreed with us, so we're going off. I phoned Linda this morning about the filming and she was up for it. 


I'm really looking forward to the visit - it will be good to see everyone again and Peter and Lachie (Linda's dad) got on really well. It was so nice to see them together and getting on really well. And Linda's daughters are nice too. Only Yasmin at home this time.


So that's been our past few days - taken up with things and sorting things out. I have been told i have to get goodies from Kimbles to share. A serious task indeed when they have so much to see!!!

  1. A busy time for sure Julie. It will probably seem like forever waiting for the time to come for the trip. Have a great rest of the weekend but then it is almost over for you as it is only 9:40 AM here.
    Take care and give my kindest regards to all your sweet family.

  2. Thanks Odie!
    It's nearly 4pm now and we've had a day in the house - weather is not great, but i have done some ironing and i have a couple of letters to write later. I love writing and getting letters - something that isn't too common now. I like e mail, FB and blogging, but there is nothing to beat having the letter box rattle and finding a good letter from a friend - then sitting down with a cuppa and reading!
