Bad Weeks ????

(or " how many chinamen have I killed recently" - lol )
Last week started off as one that I wished that had not started , ie came home on Monday to the news that my property was basically sold, just required a few signatures etc -then came home on Tuesday knowing that my sister was undergoing surgery for breast cancer, and unable to contact her husband for any updates ( and they are still waiting for biopsy results etc) only to be informed that Fred had most likely been bitten by a snake at least 6 hours earlier and had not been seen since. Finally found the mutt, unable to stand up (ie semi paralised) and over the next 3 hours was basically convinced that the little "chick magnet " was dead on two times of not being able to detect a pulse - heartbeat etc. The little bugger is tougher than he looks tho, cause Wed morning, hes lined up for a feed as if nothing had happened, and was out chasing rabbits when I left for work

Signs of the times.

Came home a few weeks to see this attached to the front gate -was expected, but did cause a lot of emotional hurt, this basically is the end of my owning my "little bit of paradise" and also the end of my childrens access to a special place. I knew that it was going to have to happen sooner or later, but it still hurt big time to come home and see this attached to the front gate. Re the top line of the sign, change the first two words to "Sold", as I signed the contracts of sale this morning
