Baby's first boo boo

There's nothing to worry about, but.... Those six words can strike fear into the heart of the toughest  person. No matter who says it a doctor, dentist or candlestick maker it can be a terrifying phrase.

However as every parent can confirm it can plunge you into fresh hell when an hour away at work you get that call from the nursery/school. 

Apparently whilst Zaynah had been climbing on the large blocks she fell off and hurt her face. So obviously all the way there I'm imagining the worse, does she have a black eye or has her eye been knocked out. By the time I got there I was a nervous wreck. 

Ending day with a glass of wine.

This was the final day of filming and because of a delay with the chaperones COVID test results we had to be on set with the kids. As it was an early morning call and we had time before Zaynah needed to get ready we got to have breakfast, result. First stop after Zaynah had got changed was hair and make-up where we met Marcia Blackwood to tame her mane.   Then it was off to the location where we waited ages for the shoot time but at least we had lunch 😋 After we wrapped Zaynah and Gabriel were given Christmas selection boxes and a Thank you card signed by cast and crew. It was nice to see tat they were still treated as children not just as little cast members.   In hair and Make-up     Us with Gabriel and his mom With writer and actress Maya Sondhi who is also a former student of Bellford Stage School.

National rail, no strike

 I had been applying for jobs on Mandy.com for a while when a job came up looking for an actress to be cast in three short educational films for Network Rail.  It looked like a great opportunity for Zaynah to work with other actors so I applied.  Imagine how excited I was to receive an email from Zahrah Issacs of Topline film production confirming Zaynah had successfully secured the role.   The first day of the shoot we travelled from Birmingham by train Milton Keynes and then got a taxi a small station called Aspley Guise. They closed it for the day of shooting and from the time we were there nobody came or even enquired as to where the trains were.. We had a £10 per person budget for lunch but there were no shops to buy anything.  It was a good job I came prepared with a packed lunch with plenty of things for Zaynah to eat and drink.  I had to limit Zaynah's drinking because there were no public toilets, so no liquids for me 😢 The scenario was Ashra...

Not very routine.

The last time is saw my neurologist was 2018 and I was supposed to have annual appointments so he could monitor how my symptoms have developed. However due to COVID seeing DR's was getting very difficult, so after constantly leaving requests for appointments with Dr Hayton's secretary and getting nowhere, I went to my GP in November 2021 and got them to refer me. I wasn't expecting an appointment straight away but defiantly within 3 months. No, when it finally came through in August 2022 it was for the 13/01/23 so it would have been 5 years since I was last seen. Since then I had started using a walking stick daily, due to may small falls or twists to my knee I had developed a bakers cyst behind my right knee and I needed to chase up my speech therapist referral. I continued to wait for my appointment but then on 28th December 2022 I received a letter advising it had been change from 13/01/23 to 13/12/23. I think it was the fact I had waited so long, my bakers cyst had rupt...
