Day 100 – Saturday 6th August – Part Two
Karen had a cracking afternoon with Yvonne, Adele and Abbie. Yvonne was demonstrating the fruits of her attendance at dance classes. It had them all in stitches apparently. Certainly, they were all laughing when I returned at 5.15pm.
Once the girls had left for Middlesbrough, Karen and I ordered our Saturday Night Pizza and enjoyed watching American Idol. We were watching it avidly 100+ days ago and I took in the episode we had got up to and we watched it on my laptop. It doesn’t feel like 100 days. We could remember all the singers.
Karen told me tonight that she feels she may have other stroke symptoms. She said that she occasionally wants to say something, but she can’t because she can’t find the words. I explained that this can happen to anyone and may be nothing to do with the stroke, but that she should raise it with the stroke consultant when he gets back off his hols.

Hello Dp,
I hear we need to have words, well actually you need to practise a certain word. You may not find it in the dictionary, like the lambasting word. Its quite simple but I will give you an explanation anyway.
vd (thats me Veronica Dennison) and I’m from Middlesbrough, commonly wrongly spealt as Middlesborough but even more commonly known as “the Boro”. Hence my blogging name is vdfromboro.
Now to the difficult bit pronunciation!
Here’s a top tip try burraa, buurrraa, keep going, burra, help him Karen. Now look Dp if my posh nephew from Surrey can do it so can you. Just think of them on the terraces at the Riverside singing that well known football song (and totally unimaginative) “Come on Burra, Come on Burra”. Thinking about it you’ll never have heard that one. And there’s Irene who thinks you walk on water, she’d be so dissappointed to hear such a posh version of the Boro, in fact I don’t think she’s ever heard a posh version. She’d say “what the hells he talking about!” I can’t believe you have been surrounded by Boro people for the last 101 days and still haven’t got it right. So keep trying, just like kp.
See ya
Love

P.S Kp,
forgot to tell you, Jack was astonished last weekend at the number of hits on your web site. Irene found a new meaning to the word hit. Then she got annoyed and said “well it doesn’t say hits it says bloody visitors”. Me and Jack left it at that.
Thanks for the top tip, I now have a new morning mantra. As you know I couldn’t get my head round the games thing (phew says Karen). So I settled on something else which I will pop in the post tommorrow with a letter.
Keep laughing
Take care
Love
Veronica

P.P.S, I forgot to tell you, I called Irene, told her how well you sounded and she was thrilled. Then she told me she’d put your picture up in the dinning room! I decided not to lambast her and tell her it was shades of red due to a doggy printer. I just left it at that, as long as she’s happy. I was going to say to her, I’ll tell Karen that she’s not good enough for the living room, but she wouldn’t have seen the funny side, she would have got upset and told me off. I feel a trip to our Karens is required to print some more pictures and a proper version of you standing.
Take care
Love
Veronica
