I have now been able to go and do my garden, Phew the work that was needed in there.

I have planted many types of Sweet Pea, Margeruite Daisies, Love in a Mist and lots and lots of Night Scented Stock, the rose bushes I have already in there are doing well, all except for 1, it seems to have a  rogue tea rose growing all around it, not sure what to do about it, but I must as all the rose bushes were planted 1 each year on Mothers Day for my mum who passed away

in Feb 03.

I would love to have a bigger garden so I could also grow veg, my neighbour said I could use hers, boy you should see the height of the weeds in it, no wonder she says I can have it lol

The cycling is going very well, we took our binoculars last time and saw the Lavatory on The Minquiers lol, they are island reefs about 7 miles off of our island, we also can see Guernsey, Sark, Herm,and Alderney plus the Echrehoes all from the north of the island, then as you go further sort of north west we can see Cherbourg and St Malo in France, I love our cycle trips as

we see so many things and meet so many nice people.

I wear my foot all the time cycling, it has held up very well considering the pounding it gets lol,

sometimes we have to get off and walk a bit up very steep hills, it is then it rubs the scarline even with this sock thing on inside.

Before I started wearing my prosthetic foot a lot more I was able to walk the full length on my stump of our town centre, now I can only walk half way but I will improve early days and all that.

But hey I am forgetting to tell you hence the title Grounded, when I was digging the garden to plant the flowers I had my foot on the patch and did not realise that as I turned the ground it was landing on my prosthetic, I had buried my foot and not realised it lol.

I know my life is not going along as I would have hoped, blimey what with my car breaking down and the worry as to where I will get the money to have the repairs done and win back my freedom and independence, but hey if you can't laugh at anything then whats the point, Laughter and more laughter is my drug, it's what gets me through when life feels tough, there is always something to laugh about and it's way better than being miserable and feeling sorry for myself.

Don't let whats happening to any of you get you right down, laugh at anything it's good for you lol.
