It,s been a tough few days.

Hi again from Gill,
It has been a tough few days or is it already a week or so . Again I am in negative mode after our recent break in at home.To awake at 4 am to a sound that your intuition says,is a break in. In the aftermath, it's all about what might have been, with the awareness of how close we were to perhaps being harmed!!We have now done all the usual things,after the event, have installed an alarm system with panic buttons.Bought a safe,& have gone through all the things that we did wrong!!. On our first night away, after the event ,we returned to find that our small front gate had been stolen.For the thief it was just a scrap metal piece of income, but for us it's another problem which has to be rectified. Our alarm system also caused us problems as it was activating at the control room every time we switched on or off!! We couldn't understand why the patrol men came round so often.Hopefully that has now been rectified.
All in all I'm not doing too well at present. We also have an ongoing problem with our neighbours after they erected a huge wall on our property. It was agreed for them to erect a Yoga Studio on our boundary wall, but the final height of 8 meters was never fully appreciated.Their idea of a finishing coat was to, as they said, cement wash it! One can never realize until near the end what that would be like. I now fear that my dear husband is feeling balistic about the whole thing, & I am in a very difficult position.
I would like to add a note of humour, but unfortuneately I can't thing of anything funny about this problem that I could add.
At this time I have bought a new harddrive , but after a few attempt,s still cannot activate my normal email address. I asked for & have been given a new password, but am still rejected when I try to log on. All in all I'm a disappointed little bunny.
Wish I could be as optimistic as my two daughters, who have blogs that I really admire. I must tell myself that I must have done something right when I was bringing them up.
Please excuse the content of this blog, but I have to vent somewhere. Maybe next time I will feel a little better,but thanks for caring.

Well I am glad you are both safe and back on-line. A few days away is exactly what you both need. Considering the Jo-burg statistics you 'are lucky' even if it doesn't seem that way right now.
Try to get out and see people, meet your friends for coffee and some shopping (it works for me)
At least you can still eat chocolate - oops sorry Heidi

Love you
Hazel
