Very sad.

This was my lovely cat Vinny, its odd how i have never put a picture of him on here before he has been such a big part of my life for the last 19 years and they were wonderful years i loved every minute i got to spent with him!
 Now don't get to fooled by the loved up expression on his face in this photo he had ATTITUDE.......... as many of my friends would tell you.
He lived a long and well loved life, with a heart condition for most of it, which we went to great lengths to make sure he had the best vet care that we could, driving him quite a way from home on a couple of occasions for heart scans.
The house feels empty even though we do have another cat Casper ( photo on another occasion i think) I have lost a very good friend.
But he was by no means THE BEST GINGER CAT THAT EVER WAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And i will miss him every day!

Frustrated, angry, in pain but mostly tired!!!!!!!!!!!

Once again i am having one of my migraines, its not fully here right now and i am hoping that the bowl of pasta and pesto i have just eaten will help. Its feels as though the right side of my face is in pain and numb at the same time, and i just feel kind of fuzzy, at least its not head splitting pain and feeling madly sick!
It just makes me so frustrated that i no matter what i do my migraines always seem to find a way to creep into my life, i am pretty sure that they are mostly driven by my changing hormones that are occurring as i get older, not really much i can do about that i guess although i am going to check with my doctor, and it is driving me to read some of the latest research papers to see what they have to say.
I can only hope that there will come a point where i and so many other people can say that we are finally free of this pain as far away and strange as that concept seems to me!

Migraine to start the day, but its not been so bad!

I was woken up at something past 7 this morning by a migraine, i managed to get back to sleep for a couple of hours, good thing it was my day off! When i did get up i had a nasal spray and that seemed to clear the worst of it, good thing too as i had an appointment to get my hair done at 1pm, I got there feeling a little tired and still a little ill, but having my hair washed normally sorts out the remains of my migraines, and it did!!
Besides which I always feel better for having my hair done it picks me up if I am feeling a bit down so all in all not a bad day.

Now that's what i call a good day off!

A good Sunday off work is always nice, I have spent a couple of hours tending my tropical freshwater aquarium moving plants and cleaning the filter, I know that for some it may seem like hard work but i find it really relaxing! And fun just waiting for the lights to come back on should be around 6pm so i get to fully see the results of my hard work.
Also a bit of history has been made this weekend, the first woman to qualify as a rider in the British Super bikes this season, race one she binned it early but it was really good just to know she was on the start grid, hopefully that off should get some of her nerves out of the way and the team have managed to fix her bike or she has a second so that she can take part in the second race!
All in all good times!!!

Some more pics!

I went walking with a work collegue who is also a friend about 3 weeks ago, and just thought it would be nice to share some of the images. It was a lovely day and i have lots more pics from it but i really like these.

A few changes!

I decided it was time to change the look of my blog, and i wanted something more relaxing to look at i think this one works and reflects me more!
Things are going well at the mo as far as my migraines are concerned, and home life is pretty good, much more relaxed than it has been for some time, the only fly in the ointment is work, i really feel like i need a change and college can't come fast enough for me right now, even though September feels like a life time away! It feels like the gap between my courses has just been so long, sometimes i think i will have forgotten all that i have learned so far, even though i have tried reading to keep my hand in.
I guess i will just have to wait for September to see how much i have retained and how much i have change since i was last studying..........its still very exciting the thought of going back to college, and hopefully changing my career!
