Hi Jules, Just read your post re your daughter. I hope she is ok. I can understand why your plans may need to change at short notice. You did behave yourself while shopping, good girl. Heard yesterday about a wedding cheesecake. Not the normal cheesecake that we think of but rounds of different cheeses in a tier effect. Heaven, alas the kids have ordered theirs already or guess where you'd find me.... Lady up the road, my new friend saw me out the front chopping back a bush and came over. She desperately needed to vent which was all good so came out the back where we chatted. She lives with one of her children and it can't always be easy. She has my phone number but as I am usually home she knows she can just arrive unannounced, there is nothing I can't postpone (especially housework)' always glad of an excuse to stop. She stated I have come into her life at the right time. Isn't that sweet. I really should start wearing gardening gloves or I will going to the wedding with the hands of a navvy. Plenty more chopping to do but little by little I will get there. I do enjoy time outside, you will probably find me a misery guts during winter haha. Take care Jules, sending you big hugs Kathy xx
One tier of that cake for me please.My son was best man at the beginning of February and the happy couple actually had this 'cheesy' kind of wedding cake and he was in seventh heaven!!
Daughter sent home late morning but is very weak and apparently her 'blood results' all over the place with blood pressure very low (she has always had low blood pressure and we know this is a side effect of her heart 'abnormality' (she has an extra chamber!).Son in law stayed home today (but does not get paid!) and she spent most of the day sleeping. Have spoken on the phone with her this evening and am going round early am to look after 16mth old until son in law gets home in the evening. Depending on how she feels will happily take little one with me to see Mum (he will certainly lighten the mood at the care home!) but now being VERY mobile and learning to climb will have to keep him in the pushchair during the visit. That said if my daughter needs me to stay with her I will call the home and they will have to let Mum know I need to skip this week. We will take it day by day and see how it goes. Normally after one of these episodes she is better within a couple of days. Needless to say with all the emotional stress of the last couple of months plus two energetic boys (plus sleepless nights with a teething Zack for the last month) think she just really needs some tlc and rest - will do my best to help and thank goodness she is only 20mins walk away.
Its nice that you have a friend whom you can chat and share a cuppa with. I am also lucky to be able to do that reasonably regularly (following my eye test this morning popped into one friend for a coffee and then bumped into an ex workmate in town afterwards and ended up catching up over a coffee locally - and all this before lunch time). Then went and bought a replacement 'cross shredder' having worn out my previous one!! Quite a day and now planning quiet evening (housework can wait a while). As to your 'gardening hands' where I have my manicure done she recommends olive oil night and morning(I just need to remember to do it!!). Take care. Jules x
