Got up to watch the rugby, having been in bed for 16 hours, actually feel quite good now.
Am a bit worried about OH, she has seemed really stressed all week and came home in a foul mood yesterday. I am trying to convince her she needs to take a few days off, don't know whether she will listen.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Glad you got there safely chicky, but I expect you're still zzzzz.....
An odd day out, as I was returning to a hill in Glen Clova that I did last December. Not to do the hill properly as such, but to pay my respects to the young lad who died there three years ago. I'd missed seeing the memorial at the head of the corrie, because I went up the other side to access the hill plateau and summit, but there had been a wreath laid at the foot of the corrie, next to the lochan. I found out about it when I came home, and vowed to return. It was desperately sad, and moved me enormously because he'd just turned 20 when he died - about the same age as my youngest was at the time, and he was born in 1994, same as my oldest. I found it even more moving again today, but I'm glad I went.
'He' has a pretty good spot high above the lovely lochan at the edge of the corrie.
How quickly our lives could change - just in the blink of an eye.
I'll have a better look round here now, with another cup of tea, and see what you've all been doing.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Pdoc - your BH couldn't possibly be a teeny bit stressed about you and your situation!!! I would be if my OH got seriously ill and would want him to fight it and not feel sorry for himself. Stress or fools at work will just be icing on the cake for her. Glad you are better for a long sleep. Onwards and upwards.
OH is watching recorded rugby. First England and now Wales. I'm off to cook.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

I know why she is stressed Obelixx, I just don't know how I can help. I am trying to be upbeat, but she knows that I am terrified about what will happen next and no amount of being upbeat, can disguise that.
Glad you had a good walk fairy, great place to be lain to rest.

As has been said before , just keep talking to each other. Not in a patronising, " it's nothing to worry about " , or a more doom and gloom "it's all hopeless " way.
Pdoc - I know it's hard but do try and think about her fears more than your own and ease up on your own. Try and think positive and, as Hosta says, keep talking.

I'd echo Hosta's words doc. A bit of down to earth talking might do the trick. Far better than both of you bottling it up. Easy for me to say, I know, but needs must.
Be kind to yourselves, and each other
The weather was sharp up there today, but the snow showers were brief and caused no problems. The boggy bits were easy to walk on too as the ground was frozen. It would have been a good day to do the whole walk as the normally boggy plateau would have been drier. There was a half marathon in Glen Clova too. Must have been pretty chilly down there, as you could see the snow funneling along the glen out of the north west, and from Glen Doll further along.
I'm now showered and fed and having more tea. Simple pleasures are ofte the finest.

Sometimes it's hard to talk to each other when things are this tough .....you're so scared of saying the wrong thing that you can't say anything, or it all comes out wrong ... sometimes it helps to have a third person there ... someone you both trust ... someone who will help you look at that elephant in the room ... whatever it is.
Sometimes a dear friend can do this ... sometimes a total stranger can be a sort of 'facilitator' ... a goodcounsellor may be a way to unlock things.
((hugs)) to you both ... thinking of you.

I've just read that Lewis Hamilton's team have been robbed in Brazil .
Just like the taxpayers in UK.

FG - another fabulous photo.

Fairy, a touching gesture. I remember you mentioning the young lad and the cairn.
I know why she is stressed Obelixx, I just don't know how I can help. I am trying to be upbeat, but she knows that I am terrified about what will happen next and no amount of being upbeat, can disguise that.

Warmest wishes to you both punkdoc.

Just be honest with each other.
