Hi Dean, thanks for noticing that I haven't been as verbal as I usually am.

I was involved in a car crash a few weeks ago. Me in a small car, stationary, hit in the rear by a 4x4 so my back is now a lot worse than it was before. This obviously doesn't help with looking after mum.

Mum fell over a week ago, fortunately she has only a small cut on her head, but it has knocked her confidence and now she doesn't like to be left alone at all which is proving problematic 're work. Her dementia is progressing slowly, but I notice subtle changes and feel I am losing a tiny bit of her daily. Dementia is such a cruel illness.

The farm is going to pot! I haven't harvested the hay yet which should have been done about a month ago and I can't see it happening in the near future so I will lose that, which therefore increases feed costs, etc, for livestock I haven't got time to get to the abattoir and on to market.

All in all not so good at the moment.

Then I wonder why I am on here at 4.30 am - I think it is because of all my lovely friends whom I feel support me and keep me going. Thank you to everyone, I do appreciate all of you.

On a lighter note, the virtual SS community farm is coming along, triple AAA has got me a breeding pair of woolly mammoths which I am waiting for him to deliver, oh, here's a thought perhaps he can deliver them to mums instead of the farm and I can start shearing them asap, it is a little hot here for them and woolly mammoth jumpers would be a novelty at the farmers' markets. Don't know what mums neighbours would think though! Perhaps I could offer woolly mammoth rides at the sea front. Any other whacky suggestions?

I'm rambling now, better try and get some sleep as I have to wake up in the real world.

Thank for the distraction, Sue
