A lovely mural

on a hill off the seafront in Scarborough lies this 

wonderful wall of art.

Brilliant little portraits, wall scratchings and 3d tiles

Thought I'd share with you some photos from our little 

trip to Scarborough 

(or Scarbella as it has become known to us Cheese's)

We stayed in a beautiful, huge house,
 with a decor straight out of the 70's
(I dropped my glasses on the floor at one point & 
couldn't see them on the pattern.... ) 
Every room had clashing carpets and wallpaper - retro in every way.  It had a wood paneled dining room with a ticking mantel clock, tick tock, tick, tock, it was Miss Scarlet with the spanner!

We had fun, a bit of sun, money wasters, chips, bracing sea air, open-top bus rides, ice cream and the ever so fantastic Naval Battle in Peasholm Park (all so wonderfully british and eccentric).

Well now!

Another week, another hospital stay!

I spent 5 LONG days in hospital last week with a suspected bleed on the brain.......I love a bit of drama me! After a 4 day headache I went to the dr, she in turn sent me straight to A&E, where I was admitted.  I was checked for meningitis, a stroke and sent for a CT scan.  Three days later I then suffered TWO failed lumbar punctures and the full-monty one, all of which showed no sign of a bleed. 

My week involved tramadol, bed-pan shenanigans in the next bed, amazing nurses, pain, noise, low blood pressure, tramadol, lying on my back, hospital food (oh dear lord!), the grim reaper looky-likey in the bed opposite who took a shine to me (was she trying to tell me something?), the lady in bed 1 with a penchant for blowing bubbles through a straw (ALL DAY!), farty pants in bed 5 (open a window please!), no telly, tramadol and the wonderful romanian night nurse who made me tea in a proper mug from the nurses staff room (THE best cup of tea ever!)

We have returned today from a little trip to Scarborough with all the family Cheese (the wind and rain have helped blow away all the pain!)
