Wish it would make its mind up, one minute freezing the next its 16C and tee shirts, then today rain and freezing cold. Rebecca has just returned from a trip to see Antoni in Reading and she said she just wished she had a button for central heating here. Have to rely on the good old hot water bottle!
They have been astounded at the spiralling costs of renting in the UK, what with month and half deposits plus another half month because of the cats, even in unfurnished! then the credit and police check costs plus moving back over from here, they are now feeling very disheartened.
Rebecca has always been a people person and is the first to offer a helping hand.
Whilst in M & S at the weekend she passed a lady who was obviously having problems and no one was helping her, so she stepped forward and after being told a chair was in the furthest part of the shop began to clear a mannequin display so the lady could perch on the boxes. She subsequently stayed with her for half an hour until the ladies daughter arrived.
The next day Rebecca headed off to Birmingham airport, was transferred to a coach at Banbury due to track closures so was rather worried over timing for her flight. She was fine but going through security they spotted a pot of hummus in her case and even though it was sealed etc they confiscated it and threw it away. She was a bit cross!!!! So they put her case through again for a rescan, by this time she was getting rather flustered, quickly collected said bag and the rest of her belongings from the trays and headed off. It was only after she had nearly exited the security that a couple approached her and suggested that she may have left her ipad behind and security had it safe.
Sure enough upon checking after all the kerfuffle it wasn't there but she was reunited with her ipad.
Reason for the waffle of a story, I just thought it was so lovely that she had done her paying forward so to speak and then she was rewarded.
I think its called karma.
So many times people are ignoring their instincts to help because of possible repercussions which is really quite sad, when sometimes a friendly hand of friendship is all that is wanted.
Update on Feliz, poor little chap, back to the vets today, couldn't open his eyes again this morning, at least he is eating a little but has no interest in anything at all. Something I thought interesting was the vet told us to bathe his eyes in camomile tea solution, they do seem slightly better now.
Something to note for future reference. Back to the vets tomorrow
I spotted this cloud yesterday afternoon, actually I saw its reflection in a window first then saw it in the sky, beautiful rainbow cloud. No enhancement or photo shop, just how it was
take care

Rebecca was very pleased and thought she wouldn't have missed it until on the plane. There was another cloud bigger but not so vibrant xcx
DeleteYou did well to capture the cloud so clearly, I haven't seen a rainbow coloured cloud like this before. It's still cold here but I don't think we've had a bad winter, all things considered. I'm just waiting for spring to arrive now, it can't come quickly enough for me. I'm so pleased that Rebecca got her iPad back, whenever I did anything good my mum would always tell me that I'd get my reward. It's sad that people are happy to just walk on by these days when they see someone in trouble or who needs help. Awww, poor little Felix, I hope his eyes are better soon, all these visits to the vets must be costing you a fortune.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a cloud like that before very unusual. Our neighbours have returned to Barnard Castle for a month and they are hating it, too cold and too much snow, It is an added expense but cant see him suffer at all and we are lucky in that the vets here charge a fraction of the costs in the UK. Examination, anti biotics, anti inflammatory about 40 euros xcx
DeleteSorry to hear Felix is poorly - hope he gets better very quickly. Our cat has weepy eyes at the moment so I may get some camomile tea to see if that helps him - thank you for the tip.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame that in general people aren't a little more caring, but so good that there are still some lovely people out there. Karma indeed!
That cloud is stunning!
Best wishes
Ellie
Hi Ellie, thanks for popping by. The vet said today to also try a salt water solution as his eyes are still not good. Hope it works for your furry. xcx
