2. Almost finished knitting an enormous ‘rainbow blanket’ which DD admired on Pinterest. She’ll be so pleased when she sees it!
3. Family have been visiting Cornwall Granny this weekend, so I’ve had a blissfully quiet two days. I’ve missed the DGC of course, but the rest has been lovely, and they’re all coming for tea tomorrow, which will be so nice.

Son rang us last night to ask how our holiday in a remote part of Cyprus is going.

I awoke early this morning with a high fever and got under a big blanket for two hours. My body can't take air con or cool wind as I was brought up in Trinidad and Kuwait due to dad's engineering work.

Went to a remote restaurant in the shady mountains and now feeling warmer and looking forward to a BBQ day around the pool tomorrow instead of driving miles to a supermarket or restaurant.

Son in law made it to the top of Mt.Blanc and came down again today.

Youngest granddaughter said she will call to see me tomorrow.

Son in law who isn’t arranged for one of his workmen to weed my garden.

My precious son has called from weekend away to say he has proposed to his equally precious girlfriend.

My husband and I had a lovely, sunny walk in a local park with our darling dog this morning.

Two nightdresses that I ordered online from M&S are exactly what I wanted!!

1. The bunch of peonies buds I bought on Friday is bursting out into massive blooms.

2. I've a completely free day today, to do with as I wish.

3. Like Ellierose, I've managed to get my gel nail polish off.

1. Still revelling in the afterglow of dinner and musical theatre evening with potential DiL.

2. Seeing garden so resplendently happy after nature's gift of a gentle but elongated drink.

3. Thoroughly enjoyable church visit with resulting feel good sensation.
