Little bird

Walking Bella on Sunday we came across a small bird sitting on the grassy path. I went close to look and it didn't move so I thought it was dead. Then Bella sniffed it and it moved. It tried to get away when I picked it up. It was bleeding and I carried it home and put it in a shoe box. I rang RSPB but the recorded message asked me to ring SSPCA which I did. They told me to call my local vet. I got out of hours service and they said the nearest open veterinary was the animal hospital in Aberdeen to almost 35 miles away. So off we went. When I arrived I took a peek in the box as the bird had died. I promptly burst into tears. I felt rather daft but I was really sad. The vet said it had badly injured it's leg and would have had little chance of surviving. Poor wee thing. 

This week I was in Aberdeen and I came across a woman called Gillian Wilson! And she went by Gilly too. What are the chances? We sat together and she showed me her car number plate - G17 LLY. I was very jealous lol. 

I have a condition called Formication. Of course I do lol. It's defined as -  a tactile hallucination, the strange feeling of insects crawling on or under your skin when none are actually there. It's so weird. My ears constantly feel tickled like spiders running over them. I don't like spiders and the thought of them in or around my ears is a little disconcerting.  I should add that a doctor hasn't diagnosed this, just Dr Google with the help of Good Morning Britain via Lorraine. Ha ha ha

I can't believe the next time I'll be writing  Christmas will be over. I hope you have fun between now and then. This is the best bit. My favourite day is actually Christmas Eve! The anticipation and joy just can't be beaten. Make the most of every moment because in a flash it'll be gone for another year! 

Merry Christmas!
