Just finished hosting a fun Spring Equinox lunch for my friends. Everyone joined into the spirit and wore home made headdresses made from pickings from their gardens.
Good food some wine and laughter.
The sun shone, too!

One of those days today! I was trying to get packed for my hospital stay, tidy up the house. I did a woollen wash and put stuff out on the line. I was aiming to get out in time for lunch with my knitting group friends.
I then started to clean the E bay high chair DD bought for use here. Not a good idea! If you put a tap on, make sure the plug is out of the sink. Don’t go off and do something else!
So I rushed back into the flood, upstairs to the airing cupboard, got out the “doggy towels” to mop up. I cleared up, whilst paddling about in the room in wet slippers, socks and trouser bottoms. The tap had over flowed across the work surface into the cupboard underneath. This soaked a box of washing powder, which is now in the shed drying out. The box will need re-gluing.
There is moral here somewhere.
During this crisis I was talking on the phone to SIL who rang to wish me well in hospital.
I have now girded up my loins for parathyroid surgery tomorrow.
Due to go in at 8am beds permitting with hopefully just an overnight stay. I have no idea how I will feel afterwards.
Probably come home with a bolt through my neck! 
Very happily my lovely DD is coming over on Saturday to cook me a meal and administer TLC, her suggestion, knowing that her father is as much use as a chocolate fireguard at such times. Its very useful having a nurse in the family she was so lovely today, and I will see DGS. 
I hope so too, butty
Yes, I hope so too.
Butty as soon as you step off a plane in the UK, we'll be urging you to come for a meet-up, whichever part of the country you're in.
Bags your lunch sounds lovely. Wish I'd been there!
well done ella.
I agree butty .
Car passed MOT Man did garden repair.
Told the other U3A trustees that I am moving! I am moving GN! To North Wales.
Been into town to spend my Christmas Bonmarche voucher. Got 2 tunic tops, a jumper, and a pair of trousers, haven`t worn trousers since Adam were a lad, dread to think what I`ll look like 
but I want to wear tunic tops, and they don`t really go with skirts, do they?
Had a fright last night, Mia was in the yard, we heard a dog snarling, Mia shrieking, 
when I got out there she`d disappeared, and I was worried that she`d gone off to lick her wounds after the dog had had her, but she turned up an hour later, all in one piece, praise be.
when It was my lunch! I didn't go to all that trouble to have it attributed to B! @ miffed.com
Sorry Butty speed-reading is not my forte just lately. Must concentrate more. In that case, I hope YOUR lunch was as lovely as you made it sound
