I can’t believe it’s May already. We have forever been waiting for spring here in Stavanger and when it finally showed up a few days ago, May was just around the corner.
It’s been a couple of months since my last post on this website, and I’m sorry for dropping off the face of the Earth like that, leaving you guys hanging, without even a heads up. My apologies.
You see, a few weeks back my mum got ill. Nothing really serious, just a bit of a “bad” cold we thought. A couple of days into it, I woke up to a text from one of mum’s neighbors telling me that mum had been rolled into the hospital during the night.
Since mum has a habit of getting from bad to worse pretty quickly, due to her past history of pneumonia, combined with her not doing too good with medication, because of her autoimmune disorder (Sjøgrens), (we have had a couple of scares before) I wasn’t leaving much to chance this time… and booked a ticket to UK right away for the earliest plane we could get on.
After a nine hour trip B and I got to the hospital checking in on mum quickly before we called it a night. Over the next few days we visited twice a day, talked to the doctors, discussed medication and what we needed to do, to get mum back healthy.
Thankfully because of her quick admittance to the hospital and a few days with antibiotics through an IV (pretty much the only thing that works anymore) she was bouncing back and it was decided that she was well enough that she could go home 🙂
We stayed around for a while to take care of her, you know.. alt the little things of cooking, shopping, walking the dog, being mean making sure she took her meds 😉 and in general keeping her company, until she was back on her feet well enough she could fend for herself.
We are back home now, and I’m happy to say mum is getting better by the minute, as I got a text a couple of days ago that she was out and about doing a little shopping 🙂
I’m sorry I’ve got a couple of you guys worried about what was going on, but I haven’t felt much like writing…
But hey… I’m back now… so hopefully things should pick up a little 😉

Thank you! It helped that we were able to go over quickly to help her out, she has recovered much quicker this time around because of that.
Thank regarding the pictures, a phone comes in handy the times when you suddenly want to take some garden pictures 😉

Yeah, I’m glad mum is better too, thank you for thinking about us.
100 things left? Never gonna happen 😉 I might travel the world with less than 100 things (whenever I get around to travel the world) but the house will still be full 😉
It’s time I get back to decluttering.. soon… I have been thinking about it… but I’m working on a couple of things right now.. so the decluttering will have to wait until that’s done! What I’ve been up to? I think my next post will enlighten you (in a few days mind you 😉 )
