What's been happening?

Well, the on-going saga of medical issues keeps trundling on - I seem to have spent far too much time at the doctor's, A&E, X-ray dept and pathology just recently. As a result I know that my blood pressure is elevated and I have an infection in my finger - strangely, those are exactly the things I told all the 12 various health bods I have seen over the last 12 weeks were wrong with me. So, other than confirming what I already knew, we are no further forward. Great!
But, on another aspect of life....I traded in my Zafira for a new silver Peugeot Partner van, and it has been measured up for proper caging fitting in the back. It's lovely to drive and very comfortable. I was looking at the VW caddy, but trying out both at the same garage I was surprised to find that the Peugeot was the one I liked better. So, there we are!

Weekend Fun




Gosh! It's been a long gap!! I've been dragged screaming and kicking onto FaceBook, and most stuff goes there now rather than here.
Anyway, I just wanted to record the fabulous weekend I have just had with my darling Mum - she'll be 91 later this month, and though she has a lot of pain from an arthritic spine, she is still so lively and sprightly and such fun to be with. The weather has been kind this weekend so we have lunched out at Coughton Court and walked in the gardens and shopped in the gift shop...but didn't find anything to buy. We also enjoyed the Royal Wedding on TV together then enjoyed the spoof RW that was put on by the staff of the residential home my mum lives in now - especially the canapes, cakes and champagne!!! We went on a shopping spree at Evesham Garden Centre and lunched there too, before going back to mum's house to look through old photos from my childhood and before. Dad was never far from our thoughts and we lit candles for him and all the family when we went to church. Then we finished the weekend with a relaxing day and an excellent omelette at mum's residential home, completing the Telegraph and the Mail crosswords between us.
Thanks Mum!! You made the weekend so much fun!
