What is the best thing that has happened to you today.

That's lovely, Annika - such good news! And as you say, a lot of time to get sorted.

My DD has just rung and told me that she has set a date for her wedding (after her and her boyfriend have been together 9 years) I am so excited ! .
The date is August 3rd 2013, so plenty of time for me to sort out a hat to wear

Finished my packing and off for three days to Twickenham to visit my DIL and two DGD - Papa is going to Portugal for a stag do and I'm going to keep Mama company. Any excuse to see them really

sewsilver here's some more xx

POGS enjoy every moment with your lovely dad

....and a hat!

I hope it doesn't make her giggle, I'm far too old for a new mum!
Crikey I think I might have nightmares tonight.

pogs that made me giggle the thought of him chasing the carer around

glassortwo.

You are kind. He did but I forgot he can't chew meat very well and I took him for a carvery. He is on a strong dose of morphine and he had a pint of mild for a treat and it went straight to his head, wobbled to the car. I just hope he behaves himself with his carer tonight he is quite a ladies man.

Lovely day though.

At Tai Chi this morning I was shown an exercise to help with carpal tunnel syndrome. Almost instantaneous relief from the pain in my hand and wrist.

pogs I hope you Dad enjoyed his 93rd birthday.

Took my dad out for lunch, his 93rd birthday and I thought I was loosing him last January. Brilliant!

Getting the grass cut for the first time in a month as it is the first dry day we have had since then. By 6.00pm the grass was finally dry enough, although the ground was still soft and the cut grass was really heavy because it was so lush and green and long. I now look out of the window onto a lovely smooth lawn - and quietly forget that most of it seems to be moss.

Dr started me back on my HRT, I can start to feel like me again, instead of the grey shadow I was turning into.

sew sending you a big {{{hug}}

geordie I built a few of those over the time I had my little job at Mothercare and the first on does take a little getting your head around it, but next one is no problem

mamie one lucky DH, hope he is not aching too much.

Sorry no!

Jeni , was the judge Simon Cowell, cos if it was you could have reined in your better instincts and done us all a favour!

I stopped myself from murdering the judge with whom I was sitting! Grrrrrrrrrrrr!

Well done, geordiejoy! I'm sure that would have stumped me....

I meant 18mths!

I built a car!When I ordered it on line I missed the fact it was self assembly.It's a Little Tikes' cosy coupe.It arrived 10a.m and I finished it at tea-time.My grandson aged 18ths comes tomorrow so I had to do it.

Sewsilver, whatever you've had to deal with, I hope it's resolved soon. Life can be an absolute b...h, can't it?

In the middle of a horrific week which I can't even begin to talk about had lunch with an old friend who bought me a big bunch of flowers. It made a big difference.

Well that's a relief, then, Mamie!

Just been to visit a neighbour who moved into sheltered housing in the village. Had a good chat and a coffee.
