Last weekend Hubby noted it was a very full laundry box, so feeling very blasé I confessed that I'd spilled food down my thick jumpers three days running. One of those days we'd had fried egg sandwich for lunch and I hadn't noticed at all that I'd been wearing an uninvited bright yellow broach all afternoon.
This week started with a lovely family day. Because I'd had a break from the evil pills that ruin my appetite and I was eating almost normally Son gathered the flock and booked a table at The Ship Inn for eight of us: 2 parents(us) + our 2 children + their 2 partners + our 2 grandchildren = my family
Our third grandchild E couldn't make it to the pub but Daughter picked her and the dog up on their way back to ours and Hubby and I were in Son's car so very nearly a full list when I called the register but M didn't come back with them. We'd gone for a late lunch at 2:15pm and they all stayed till late evening. Lovely!
Busy Monday with coffee morning and still quite a few missing with coughs and colds. They left and we had a quick lunch then across town to have my nails done which always makes me feel good. After we got home I had an unexpected phone call from my lovely friendNH and it was a proper catchup long chat. She is also a cancer patient and has taken on an effort for her, physical fundraising challenge of walking a mile every day in March so of course I'd sponsored her as I do most people I know raising money for cancer research and Macmillan Nursing.
Another special friend and I used to do so much together but our daily lives and family commitments went in different directions and our get togethers got mainly to a couple of theatre trips a year. Thursday friendKK and I planned a day together and the sun shone all day. She came here to pick me up, (she drives a convertible and the top was down) and Daughter had actually just walked over with the dog and KK and Daughter had a good chat before we left. First stop was back to her house so I could inspect her new kitchen (I'd heard about all the disputes she'd had with the kitchen fitters) and see all the redesign and hard work she'd done in her garden. Next stop was to Milsoms Hotel Restaurant for lunch which she paid for as she'd been given a voucher. Oooooow ladies that lunch hahaha! As the sun was still very much shining we did a lovely drive through our beautiful villages before she brought me home. She very kindly swapped me at home for the large amount of charity stuff I had waiting to take and filled her boot as she had a heap of her own for it to join and it would get there sooner than if it stayed here.
So much of this week has been medical too with test results coming through and phone calls and my appointment for surgery being confirmed for next Tuesday!!! Of course a worry so all distractions gratefully taken on board, hence the rose coloured glasses, and pics of my beautiful flowers to keep my mood 'in the pink'.....
Indoors the Orchids
Outside the Camellia
I wish you all good health xxx
