life as it is

1. Daughter is so much better now thank goodness. 2. Sister had a fall, running for a bus. But she is now recovering, a nasty bruise over her eye. 3. Baby granddaughter has decided to wash the floor with her tongue! Lovely. Bless her.

1. Being woken up by partner in the early hours, by his singing. Bless him, but he cannot sing. 2. Getting over the flu bug very slowly. 3. Daughter is still getting over her flu bug very slowly as well but she said its nice to feel just a little bit better.

1. Granddaughter said nanny I won't give you a hug today I might give you a hug tomorrow , tomorrow came, nanny I am still thinking about giving you a hug! Bless her. 2. Had one of the nicest chats I had in ages with a lady of 90 today in a cafe, she asked if she could sit with my sister and me, as her friend could not meet her today, yes we both said, and she was such a lovely lady, and we spent an hour with her, and she said if she is ever in the cafe again is not to be shy and pop over to hello, and we will. Bless you Winnie , you made us very glad that we met you. 3. Daughter is nearly over her flu, looking better. But  son has caught it! But he never complains, he just gets on with it. Bless him.

1. Got a cat who would like to learn how to knit or crochet came in last night to find a few balls of yarn on the floor, I put them away, then this morning I came down and she found some more yarn to play with, so later she and I will sit together and I teach her to knit or crochet her choice. Bless her. 2. Sorry about the emotional post yesterday. I laid down a ghost which has been around for a very long time. 3. Had a chocolate and salted caramel cupcake, it was very rich, but very nice. My friend organised a chocolate fair for the very first time and she and  sellers done very well. Everything on sale was to do with chocolate . Whiskey truffle you yum, sloe gin truffle yet to try. She is organising it again next year, so watch  this space.

Went on the Union  of South Africa yesterday , all the way to York. Not been to York for over 20 years and I won't leave it that long to go back again. Had a great time. It was a happy but sad time, as the last time I went was with my dad and happy as I have got happy memories of my time there. The NRM has changed but all for the good. You need more than a day there to look around properly, so will go back there in the new year. Saw my beloveded Duchess of Hamilton , my most favourite steam train. When I come down from my high of going on a steam trip to York I will write a proper post

1. Went to see my friend who is 95 today, she was in very good spirits. She received a beautiful white cyclamen from the day centre she goes to. 2. Did the school run today and granddaughter goes to the same school I went to and her eldest uncle, it bought back many memories. It has changed but not a lot . 3. One thing that has not changed at my old school, is the wind when it blows across the fields , it blows!

1. Spent the morning with baby granddaughter as mum went to see her big sister's play. Big sister played an angel. Had lots of fun with baby granddaughter . Nice to have her on her own for a little while. 2. Proud of myself resisted buying wool, not once but twice. But it was a bargain but money short at the moment. 3. Scarf afghan has been shelved for a short while, but crochet afghan is coming on nicely.
