Omg, I am in love. I went to Oakwood Dog Rescue today to help walk the dogs, I managed two, Marly who I think was a cross terrier and Bailey (featured in photo), a cross Husky. I fell in love with him as soon as I saw him. He is a year old and really tall, I was able to stroke his head whilst we where walking without bending down. He was so light on the lead and soooo nosey, first of all he picked up the biggest branch he could find, then a piece of carpet and lastly a forgotten pasty that someone had thrown away. He did tipple tails on the grass because he didnt like his halty and my heart just melted. It was so relaxing walking not just him but Marly too, although I prefered Bailey as if your going to have a dog then you dont choose a rat, (sorry Marly). I have even mentioned fostering to Ian and he hasnt said no, (well not yet). It has to be one of the best things I have done in ages, I just wish the kennels where a bit closer to where I live instead of being at the other side of Hull, that being said if they where nearer then Ian probably wouldnt see me as animals have such a healing nature. I have to say that by the time we had finished walking them (aunty Jean got dragged there with me) I felt so totally relaxed and dare I say it happy. For all that I was wet through to my underclothes and absolutely filthy from playing with the dogs after they had been on the grass I couldnt have been happier.
I definately need a dog, absolutely no two ways about it, a dog is a must.

Anyway, thats enough about dogs (well for now), if you hadnt noticed I am much happier today. I have now finished my antibacterials and anti sickness tablets for the water infection I had last weekend. My tablets seem to be finally kicking in again (or is it dog ha ha). i am due back to doctors next week for a check up regarding my depression and hopefully I will be back at work soon. I am not sure if he will let me go back straight away as yesterday I had an absence revue at work and I was shaking like a leaf, that is mainly due to the fact that I havent been able to do my cycling to work and the tablets havent been working as well with all the vomiting, anyway we shall see.
I said in one of my previous blogs that I was intent on now using it for some anecdotes about my life but havent done very well in that. This will start shortly I promise but I have to see my friend on Tuesday before I can say too much as otherwise she will read this and know what I am going to tell her!!!!
I am really looking forward to this as she lives in Withernsea and I have one of my fondest memories there. Ian and I went a number of years ago during the highest tide of the year. We parked up on the opposite side of the road to the castle (as I call it, really its the first aide station). The tide was so high that when the waves hit they where going straight over the top of the castle and landing on our car, this excited me so much I ran out of the car and up the steps of the castle just as the biggest wave of the century was coming over and had a direct hit on me, I was soaked so much that I ended up going home in just my wooly tights and leather jacket, not a problem you may say, but when we arrived home my friends son was playing in the street and ran into his house shouting mummy mummy Jannette has just arrived home with no clothes on, I will leave it to your imagination what she said!!!
Due to this I have stated that when I die I want my ashes scattering from the first aide station at the highest tide of the year, those people who really know and love me will make sure they are there as they know I will be laughing at my favourite pass time.
