... i ended up bringing back 9 from Portugal.

Oh my days, 9 cats!! I'd say the Border Force loved you 🥰🥰

We used pet transport but the paperwork due to Brexit was a nightmare. Many trips to vets and government offices to sort paperwork. So many weird tick boxes.

Anyone planning to take dogs abroad need to be warned that due to covid, seems to be the excuse for a lot of things, many vets don't have tapeworm treatment. There's also a shortage of flea treatment.

Good morning world another 24 hours to get through. Made easier today with my first meeting with a Neuro Physiotherapist and my team are playing this evening! 😁😁👍😃xx

[denise]

What is a Neuro physiotherapist? I know I could look it up but others will know if you tell me 😊

[matthew55]

I have absolutely no clue. 🤔😂😘😍xx

[denise]

Haha love it. Feels like that sometimes. After a lot of calls and emails last week I finally sat down thinking we'd done when the phone went. Only time I didn't have paper and pen. It was the conveen nurse. For the life of me I couldn't recall what that was. Then I remembered incontinence. Still like to know who got the freebies I requested. I can just see their faces opening the packet. 😅😄😃

I was awake more than I was asleep in bed last night - I was 🥶🥶 (I told you I'd be moaning about it not being warm enough soon enough, contrary hag that I am 😍😍) xx

[Ellie]

What is a Neuro physiotherapist?

A physiotherapist who (thankfully) won't treat your muscles and joints as if you've a sports injury - i.e., they specialise in neurological conditions 👍👍

Hope it's of benefit to you Matthew. If carers are there, physio could show them how to do range of motion exercises, stretches etc, and the carers could help you, time permitting (might make her too busy to give you smoochies though 😍😍) 😘😘

[denise]

We are never happy. I was cold not having a cover so settled for a sheet but the quilt is too hot. 🙁

we were listening to Martin beck detective radio drama but I fell asleep missing the end. When I asked what happened he said he didn't know because I was snoring. 😩 fine! And he needs me to roll his fags! 😉

Morning early birds though it's not really that early.

funny Stephen going to see a Neuro physiotherapist in September.

[Ellie]

Great sleep, thanks to having the sense to put on my electric blanket for a few 30min periods pre- and post-dawn (and ignoring the fact it's July) 👍👍 🤗😘

[denise]

Electric blanket 😲I don't believe it

[Ellie]

Yep, you wouldn't believe how cold us folk with MNDs can get... Atrophied muscles can feel icy - if I'm chilly in bed, my wizen arms and back muscles run so cold they ache, that electric blanket solves the issue 👍👍 xx

[Ellie]

Denise, you'd better batten down the hatches tonight for Storm Evert 🌬🌬 🌧🌧

Bet you wish you had an electric blanket too 😍😍 xx
