Day off after a very busy two weeks!

Man U won last night which is very cheering.
This is the fist day that I have had nothing in the diary for a long time. I stayed in bed late drinking tea , doing morning pages , journals ect. Browsing on the net ,found a £35 tablet but did not buy it in the end. I am actually looking forward to having my computer fixed up by Andrew.
Also looking forward to  better weather and watching my garden grow.

I am still suffering with painful arms and foot, the doctors have given me painkillers which are helpful sometimes,but I need a better solutions.
It reminds me of the time I had Polymyalgia , painful mornings till the meds kick in. It does get me down at times when neither of us can do simple tasks,like carrying bags of earth or even some morning lifting the duvet is painful.

I hope between Beth and the GP it will all turn out well.

John's befriend-er came today, it was not in the diary, John forgot he was coming, then the guy to service the hospital bed came too about two weeks late. It got me down as this was my one day to have some down time. Still! worse things happened in the war.

I am trying to plan my weekend with Philip , ( he won this at work) but with Maureen being so ill I don't like to impose on Penny and Johnny to care for John, but we do have lots of green vouchers so if \john can put up with it we can have an all night cared here.

I want to go to Glasgow to see the family, especially to meet little Lachlan.

I want to plan our trip to Spain but not sure if John is really up for this he is a bit unsure.

It will be busy if we go, and fun too, but if not, I hope John can have a longer time in London and Sandra and I can go, just the two of us. I would enjoy that a lot.

I enjoyed The Book Thief last week, an afternoon at the cinema on my own, bliss.

I enjoyed seeing Andrew on Saturday and Sunday, we watched Zodiac which I really enjoyed.

I enjoyed going to Salford to see Philip, although he was quite hung over and tired, but we did manage a nice hour catching up.

I enjoyed going to Host with Andrew Lucy and John on Sunday evening.


Looking forward to going to Fact with J&A&L tomorrow night.

There are always good things ,sometimes we have to remember that especially when we are tired, feeling unwell, or the news gets you down.


Maureen is very much in my thoughts right now and all her children who I loved spending time with a few weeks ago, I wish David was closer or that I could go to visit with him, he must feel so lost being so far away, when his mum is dying.

Everything is as it should be,
nothing is at it seems.

It is a mystery.
