A Strange night

[Guest guest]

We had a very late night on Sunday night, and get up at 6 to go to

work - so yesterday we were very tired. We thought we would have an

early night so got to bed at 11 p.m. We'd been in bed about ten

minutes when there was a knocking and thumping - I thought somebody

was trying to break in, either to our house or next door. We put the

outside lights on and peered out of the windows, but couldn't see

anything. After a while we went back to bed - then it happened again.

We got up again, and on looking out the window saw one of the

neighbours walking along the drive (there are only six houses here,

with a drive along the front of the front gardens) looking at all the

houses, obviously trying to find out what was going on. He then went

off in his car. Then we saw the people next door out in their back

garden with a searchlight looking all over the place, and the cows

were mooing and calling like mad. Anyway, we went back to bed and a

few minutes later there was a flashing light outside - a police car

down on the road. The next thing I saw was a policeman waving his

yellow jacket around like a matador - herding the bull up our drive.

The bull must have got out of the field and onto the road, which is

about ten feet lower than the road, and not been able to get back in -

so he was calling to the cows and they were calling to him, all panicky.

 

Anyway, they managed to get the bull back in the field, and eventually

all the cows settled down, and so did all the humans. Our early night

turned into a 1 a.m. night - with another 6 a.m. start !

It was ! Strangely enough, the following evening we didn't get an

early night either. At about 10.40 there was a knock on the door - my

neighbour had ripped her thumb when opening a tin and had lost a lot

of blood. She wouldn't let us take her to the A & E, even though I

thought it needed a stitch or two - it was about two inches long, and

curved. Anyway, Colin bandaged it and stopped it bleeding, and we sat

chatting for ages, until she had stopped shaking. I wish she had

stayed longer really - I was quite worried about her - she is 76 and

had lost a fair amount of blood. Anyway, she is okay thankfully, and

did go to the doctor the next day and had some butterfly stitches.

 

We got to bed at gone midnight again - but at least we hadn't inujured

ourselves - so I'm not complaining.

Hi Jo

 

Sounds like an exciting neighborhood you have there!

 

That was very kind of you to make sure that she was ok. I am sure

she is thankful to have neighbors like you and Colin.

HI Nikki

 

There's only six houses here, between two villages and most of the

time it is pretty quiet. My neighbour did go to the doctor the next

day and needed a butterfly stitch, but she is okay. Yesterday when I

came home from work there was a lovely bunch of flowers on the doorstep.

I think my family is gonna start hiding all things sharp from me. It seems each meal I cut myself pretty bad and with the blood thinners it really makes a mess. My arthritis is really acting up and I guess I'm not able to control the sharp objects very well. It's gonna be a bear cutting up the food without a knife, and a real pain to sew!heartwerk <jo.heartwork wrote:

Hi Jonnie

 

I'm sorry to hear about your accidents. You'll have to get your

hubby to chop the veg etc.

It seems each meal I cut myself pretty bad and with the blood

thinners it really makes a mess. My arthritis is really acting up

and I guess I'm not able to control the sharp objects very well.

It's gonna be a bear cutting up the food without a knife, and a real

pain to sew!

In my dreams! DH refuses to do ANYTHING around the house. The other day I told him I was struggling to peel the oranges for our breakfast cuz of my arthritis and he just looked at me. I said how about you do it then and he said na-ugh and walked away. Ah well, what can one do? I guess that's why we are going out to most breakfasts. He would rather do that than help. For dinner I usually have my son or daughter to help. heartwerk <jo.heartwork wrote:

I think if I was in your shoes, I'd just cook my own dinner, and let him get his own... at least until he gets the message!

Believe me, I've tried. I'm really stubborn, but sadly, he could win an award for being the MOST stubborn! He was brought up that he was the king of the house and everyone around him was his humble servents. His mother waited on him hand and foot and made it quite clear he wasn't to do a thing! She taught him he was supposed to grow up and marry a nice Finnish woman who loved to do the same thing. Unfortunately he got his wires crossed! I keep telling him that maybe I should be gay and find myself a nice wife! heartwerk <jo.heartwork wrote:

Hi Jonnie

 

You must love him a lot to put up with it! But you don't need to

find yourself a wife - there are millions of men out there who do

there fair share, and very often, more.

I agree - particularly as you have arthritis and are not in the best

of health. My mum had rheumatoid arthritis and I used to peel and

chop all the vegetables for her from when I was quite a young kid.

It's a matter of caring.

Hi Jo / Jonnie

 

I tend to agree. I have my own lack of support in some instances

here, but something like that wouldn't sit well with me. Especially

if you are in pain.

 

Though there are always other sides to a story, it just doesn't sit

well.

I have to agree with Fraggle and Peter on this one.

 

I am very lucky in this regard. I am the one who works and DH stays

home. He does almost everything here. He cooks, cleans, takes care

of Zak while I work and does alot of the outside maintenance too.

 

I help where I can and honestly where he lets me. But he does not

let me do too much. He looks at it this way, I work outside, he

works inside and these things are his responsibility. I try to do

more than he lets me but he tends to get upset at times because he

feels he should be doing it and I feel I should be doing more.

 

Don't get me wrong, there are times when it hits his male pride

being the homemaker. He still has those original ideals growing up

when his Mom stayed home. And I definately have the longing to stay

home with Zak. But he cooks better than me, he cleans better than me

and he definately mows the lawn better than me! LOL And I can make

more money than he can in a job that provides insurance and 401K. He

can make way more money bartending, but no insurance etc.

 

I know how lucky I am that he does all these things. I handle the

bills, insurance decisions, shopping etc and he handles all home.

And most days it works out.

 

No matter what our roles were to be, I could never be in a

relationship that did not have give and take. But again, we do not

know your entire situation and we cannot judge it. If you are truly

happy, that is all that matters. And if not, starve the man! LOL

Hi Nikki

 

I agree. Colin and I both work and are out of the house the same

time. Colin does the cooking, because I did it for the first 25 years

mostly, and I hate cooking. While he is doing that I do some cleaning

and sorting out. At the weekend, if we are not out and about enjoying

ourselves, we do the work together.

Hi Jo

 

I think that is great and it is a healthy relationship. In my eyes

there has to be some sort of share of responsibility. Otherwise it

turns out you never have time for each other either if one person is

constantly doing housework.

 

I am trying to teach this to Zak too. Like with cleaning his room or

even basic household chores. I tell him that if he helps me, we will

be done quicker and then we will have time to play together instead

of DH or I constantly picking up after him.

 

But for some reason he still won't clean the toilet!

Yeah, I tried that. Early on he stated that he didn't actually do anything that caused work to need to be done, so I stopped doing things. As I said, he is the most stubborn person that just about anyone has met. He wore dirty stinky clothes, just went out to eat (and really made me pay for it) and I think his toilets (at work and at home) finally walked off in rebellon. He was simply fine with whatever was undone. We tried councelling, etc and in the end, I decided that I love him and he has so many other wonderful qualities that I would just have to suck it up on this issue. He's worth it.Peter <metalscarab wrote:

I think if I was in your shoes, I'd just cook my own dinner, and let him get his own... at least until he gets the message!

depends on the male..but yeah, in general thats the case

at least in this culture, another male is seen as competion, while a womyns might not be seen in the same light

Yeah, I do. Good point, it's interesting that most men will put up and might even encourage another female, most won't tolerate another male!

But they've all gone mad now

Well you'd be pretty mad too

If what happened to cows happened to you

Having your children taken away

Forced to stand in a pen each day

Fed the shit from other dead things

Then chopped to bits...
