Hi! today is the first day of October and it's so hot here in our hutches. Mummy has put some of us out in the runs but there's not enough room for all of us so we have to queue up. We do have nice curtains over our hutches to keep us cool. Everyone's so excited here in Gillybee's - one of our sisters had her babies in the night!! We have 2 neices and 1 nephew. There are 2 what mummy calls agouti and they will have long hair like Beauty, and 1 is a smooth hair, like the daddy, tortoiseshell colour. What fantastic news! Mummy's going to go to pick up some more sisters and a brother - they are Teddys. The 3 girls are going to be called 'Honey', 'Candy' and 'Muffin'. The brother Teddy is to be called 'Treacle'. All the Teddys will be named after sweet things. The longhairs will be named after Herbs and spices. What this space and follow what's happening here at 'New Piggy on the Block'!
I am a registered nurse & midwife. I've delivered hundreds of babies & I spent 10 years working as a midwife on a SCBU in the ITU. I also have a diploma in cancer care. I had been accepted to do the degree when I was struck down with Lupus / Chronic lung (associated with the Auto-immune condition where all infection attacks my lungs)/ Arthritis (mainly in my spine, neck, knees, hips and now my hands). I almost died twice last year & having come face to face with my own mortality my mantra is "To use each day to the fullest I can as if it's my last", and to value those who do care rather than to worrying about those who don't.
