When I’m With You

Published: January 2008

In your arms,
I’m in my safe haven.
With you holding me tight,
I have no other craving.

All I need
is that one look
that says you’re always there,
just like in a fairy tale book.

Your eyes talk to me
as the world stands still.
My once empty heart
now with love does fill.

Your eyes tell me
that you’ll love me every day.
No matter what may come,
you’ll be there to stay.

I tell you everything
and never with a lie:
all my worldly secrets
and everything that once made me cry.

Everything in my past,
with you I can forget it all.
I know I can trust you
to catch me if I fall.

If only I could explain
how much love I have for you.
Then maybe, just maybe,
you’d feel it too.

Hello Monday, hello life here we are at Monday so it is fact day

Scottish inventor John Logic Baird gave the first public demonstration of television in 1926 in Soho London

Ten years later there was only 100 TV set in the world, today there is more like a billion.

The first daily television broadcast was started by the BBC in November 1935.

Bird droppings where the main export of Narua an island in the Western Pacific.

A quarter of Russia is covered by forest.

A new day a day when I could sleep in but no I woke at 6.30am again. I managed to dress myself and have a wash before I needed to send Tasha message asking for help getting my breakfast.

When Kelli dropped Blain off she came inside and helped me do the medications for the week.

I have sweated so much you would think I had wet myself.

Mum was sounding better today.

Realised yesterday afternoon when I went to take my medications last night that I have no Sifrol which I take for restlessness so took a full Phenergan and half a sleeping tablet, so I could sleep and sleep I did.

I woke to the roaster crowing and Tim telling me to shut it off. On a plus side I was able to get out of bed on my own.

This afternoon I thought Leo would be here at 2pm I was wrong he arrived at 3.30pm.

Strong winds this afternoon, but no rain.

Tasha in pain this afternoon with her legs, I hope she feels better tomorrow.

I received 16 letters today when Tasha checked the P O Box and 2 packages.

Slept well again more or less, woke when the alarm went off. I was in the bathroom when Tasha arrived, because I hadn’t dressed yet she decided to give me a shower as I stunk.

Been a somewhat busy day with housework and ironing Tim’s work clothes and such.

Mum sounded good when I spoke to her, she sounds more like herself

I woke at 5.40 and got up 10 mins later, I opened the house and managed to get my hearing aids in without help.

Tash arrived at 6.30 and dressed me, then got my breakfast.

Another warm day and for me a lazy day doing bugga all.

Feeling restless and unsettled this afternoon

Woke to the alarm, going to be another dripping in sweat day for me.

I am shaking a lot today and feel like shit because of it.

Mum was ok repeated herself a few times but sounded happier.

Leo here tonight, Tim was telling me how happy he is that Leo treats this house like his own home. Coming in and getting whatever he wants even if we are in bed.

I woke at 5.40 and got up straight away, gathered up my stuff and headed to the bathroom. My phone, however, was in the loungeroom so it was good I woke when I did.

After opening the house I sat and started my computer and waited for Tasha to arrive.

At 6.30 I was dripping in sweat.

Another day shaking so very much.

Leo going to Kelli’s for the weekend, so Tash will settle me down.

Mum told me all about the letter from Kathy, she was so excited about it. She ended up reading the whole letter to me.

Had a sleep in, waking at 7am I managed to get up and get my own breakfast.

Kathy came over but it was obvious that she was too sick to give me a shower. So I rang Tash and she came and showered me.

Going to be a stinking hot day air con on from 7.30 this morning.

The heat is giving me a headache

If Only You Could Have Stayed

Constantly thinking,
never to be the same.
The tears fall quickly
just hearing your name.

Silence is golden,
yet not anymore.
Silence brings thoughts
I just can’t ignore.

The nights are sleepless,
dreams out of reach.
Crying in my pillow
to you I beseech.

Surrounded by family,
I still feel alone.
My heart is so empty.
This pain I must own.

I wish I could hug you
and just see your face.
But now I have memories
to stand in your place.

Gone but not forgotten,
that’s what they say.
Of course that is true…
but if only you could have stayed.

Leisure

By W. H. Davies More W. H. Davies

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare

No time to stand beneath the boughs,
And stare as long as sheep and cows

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night

No time to turn at Beauty’s glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began

A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare

Another Monday, another day for facts………..

Although modern images of India often show poverty and lack of development, however,it was the richest country on earth until the British invasion on the early 17^th century.

Cuba in the only island in the Caribbean to have a railway.

The first documented lighthouse was as Alexandra built in 200BC on the island of Pharos by the Egyptian Emperor, Ptolemy.

It is considered one of the seven wonder of the world, it is thought to have been 150 metres or 492 feet high about 3 times higher then modern lighthouses.

Roman Emperors built many lighthouses to assist their navigators. In 90AD the Emperor Caligula ordered a lighthouse in the country and stills stands in the ground of Dover Castle.

I woke up at 6am and after I tidy the kitchen and lounge-room table before I sent Tasha a message asking if she was awake could come and dress me.

Tim working this afternoon e left around 11am.

Mum said that she had a visit from Michelle, Alan as well as Landon & Skyla. Mum loved seeing the baby.

Woke at 5.50am and pretty much got up straight away and got dressed in the bathroom as Tim is on late starts this week.

Been an average day done the usual house work stuff I do every day.

This afternoon Tasha was annoying me as in tickling me while I waited for Leo, that said it did feel good to laugh.

Mum told me that Denni has hurt her arm again but it’s not broken. Sandra’s girls have had a lot of broken and hurt arms. Makes mum & me wonder if there is any underlining problem causing weakness in the bones.

I woke at 4.30am and between then and 6am I only dozed on & off.

Been a nice day weather wise

Had a phone call from some charity looking for money, I was annoyed with myself for answering the damn call. Anyway I explained I can’t afford it at the moment but she went on and on so I hung up and blocked the number.

Mum was telling me that Denni has her arm in a sling but couldn’t remember whether it was in a cast or not.

She also said that she went to school but was sent home after a couple of hours as she wasn’t feeling good.

I had a decent nights sleep but woke at 5.30 but 5.45 I was shaking a lot so got up and sent Tasha a text asking when she wanted to shower me, she came straight down and did it.

Tim off to the GP before going to work, I will find out how it went tomorrow.

Had a restless night waking often for how long I don’t know. I do know that on two occasions I was shaking a lot.

I am in so much pain today with my left leg.

Had to ring the Dr’s surgery for a phone appointment as I need a script for Norspan.

I just had Jess & Tasha here because I rang in tears because I was drenched in sweat and had dropped the powder and when I tried to stand my left knee gave out and I fell back onto the toilet. I have a phone with me and was able to call for help. always

Leo here tonight this is the norm now.

I slept better last night, at 3.10 this morning I woke to Tim doing something with his phone, I asked what the time was, he said he didn’t know and tried to look at the wall clock, before going out to the kitchen and returning to bed, no idea what was going on.

When I asked Tim about it he had no idea either.

Around 3.15 it started to storm, strong wind and heavy rain so I was unable to go meet Leo. Tasha did it instead.

Jess putting me to bed tonight.

I woke at 6.30am and gave Tim a cuddle kinda before getting up but of course he moved away so I moved closer and he moved further away. So I got up.

Kathy & Summer turned up at 8.45am and Kathy gave me a shower and helped me dress.

Jess working today a two in one job, she picks up one lot drop them somewhere, pick up another lot and drop them off. Have a break of maybe 2hr’s and go pick up the first lot and take them home, then go get the second lot and take them home, she will be home around 7.30pm.

A Sense Of Love

Love is not something you see.
It’s meaning everything to me.
It’s needing to have you in my life,
So much that I made you my wife.

Love is not something you hear.
It’s always wanting to have you near.
It’s needing to feel your lips each day
So much that no words could ever say.

Love is not something you taste.
It’s never letting it go to waste.
It’s needing to see you even when we fight,
So much or I’ll miss you day and night.

Love is not something you touch.
It’s knowing that you mean so much.
It’s needing your skin when I’m in bed,
So much that you make me lose my head.

Love is not something you smell.
It’s something that you’re proud to tell.
It’s needing to always make you smile,
So much that you make my life worthwhile

Good morning world, here I am faced with another school week and because it’s Monday it is fact day, so here we go……

After King Tutankhamen’s tomb was discovered in Egypt in 1922, a number of people associated with the discovery died in mysterious deaths.

Tutankhamen’s tomb was discovered in November 1922 by Howard Carter, an amateur archaeologist commissioned by English nobleman Lord Carnarvon to find it.

The discovery lead to rumours of curse which wasn’t taken seriously until Lord Carnarvon came down with a mysterious fever from an insect bite and died.

Even more strange when Tutankhamen in 1925 was unwrapped he was found to have a wound on his left cheek in the exactly same spot as the insect bite on Lord Carnarvon

The curse rumours strengthened when word came from Lord Carnation’s home on England at 1.50am the time of the Lord’s death that his favourite dog had died.
