Re: rough time

Yeah I'm a bit tired but not as bad as earlier in the week. Ive managed to get some housework and gardening done today. But im too tired to cook dinner or wash the dishes from earlier today and yesterday.

I picked my mum up from the bus earlier - she came up from down south. We went and had a coffee and I then took her to her next house sit. She's looking after 2 sweet, fluffy cats.

Re: rough time

I have a volunteer walk that's new down by the river in the morning @outlander. We'll walk fir half hour and return to the cafe to have breakfast.

Then I have some computer work to do in the afternoon.

Hopefully it'll be an ok day. I have 7 confirmed for the new walk. I went down there today for a test walk.

Re: rough time

sounds like a nice area to walk @Sans911 im hoping those 7 people will turn up this time. I know people have a habit of sayin yes and then never showing up!
other then that sounds like a chilled out sort of day for you

In response to: Re: rough time

Re: rough time

Yes, hopefully these people will turn up. I got a message from one person today who didn't like the fact a couple of dogs are coming. I've tried to reassure him they are well behaved and the walk and breakfast is for people not the animals. He had confirmed a couple of my other walks and didn't show, so I think tommorow might be the same.

I don't like dogs much as you know, but if I dont accept a couple of people with dogs i run the risk of loosing people. I know one of the dogs from an other walk and he's fine. Im not concerned about him. If the dogs don't get on tommorow then the two owners will need to soet them selves out. It wont be up to me. It's a tricky balance to keep people comfortable.

I think it's great your considering another pet @outlander but just remember all the costs that come wirh them. I'm sure you are aware if that but sometimes there's unexpected things too. I just dont want you to overburden yourself.

Re: rough time

Yeah definently is tricky to please everyone. Hopefully everyone will be on their best behaviours. @Sans911

The pet would only be a rabbit or a guinea pig, nothing to over the top. Not to sure yet. My sisters have one each and i usually just play with them on the nights im at mums which is basically every week night. That's usually enough for me.

I was starting to fall asleep but either a flea or mozzie just had a field day on me! Few on both my arms and one right on my forehead. Scratching like crazy now🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Re: rough time

Darn @outlander re mozzie

Glad you are mooching along and not too bad.

@Sans911The pleasing everybody thing is a tough gig. It is great you are doing the work though and farming out responsibility of "behaviour" human or animal... back to where it belongs. Def not take it personally. Last year I did 2 series of groups sponsored by different MH community organisations. One was a recovery focus and the other a walk and coffee. I was surprised how few people engaged.

I am reducing my time online, which include here on the forum, but lovely to see you both still around and chatting.

Hugs.
