too busy to blog?

This is my Mum's blog really. It's going to be all about her dogs (she has 4 but regularly has guests to make it up to 7). Of course she is busy preparing the dog's dinners so I will start her off. Until recently Mum was house-bound, caring for my grandmother, who died in September. When you never leave the house, you learn to make your home your whole world. And that's what she did. Four dogs provided constant diversion for my Momo (that's what we call our maternal grandmothers in Norway). And they gave my Mum company and plenty of work to keep her busy. But now Momo isn't here. Mum could go out any time she likes. But here she is - at home... making the dog's food.

They don't like tins or dry dog food. I mean  -they'll eat it - occasionally - with a reproachful look at you to let you know you've really let them down. But home made food is always best. I expect Mum will post the recipe here sometime. You should get her to tell you the story of the fussy toddler and the dog food.... It may inspire all the desperate mothers of kids who just won't eat meat and veg!

Mum gave up her life to look after her mother. Now she has to find out who she is, what she should do with this life she has back again. But after all these years, it's not as easy as putting into action all the plans and dreams you had while you were trapped. It's real now - and daunting. 

I know it's only a virtual toe into a digital world, but this blog is a first step into the great outdoors..... and will, being Mum's, be about her dogs Dodi, Soylu, Snurre and Bruno. And daily visitor Junior. And paying guest Aslan. And Dodi's missus Tier (probably spelt wrong. Mum will no doubt correct)...

Go Mum!!
