Hi dear friends… We’ve made it to the weekend…
It has been a hell of a week for me… We don’t realise how useful the microwave oven is, until it blows up… I am back to using the kettle for coffee… The worst times I have with it, are when reheating cooked sausages… 10 seconds too long, and they become car components!
We need the oven big enough to get a dining plate in… We chose one on the internet in the end, because it needed to be able to cope with the wide range of cooking that I do. Until that arrives, it is back to the old time tested methods.
One thing I have been doing this week, is walking to the shopping area in town… Someone can be coming along the road towards me, so I look, and wait for them to return eye contact. A cheerful hiya usually does the trick. They almost alwa respond… Someone has finally acknowledged the fact that I am really there. It ctually gives a sense of self worth… I have gotten that person to not only smile at me, but experience the positiveness of a positive greeting. It costs me nothing… But I get a massive buzz out of doing it. Iactually have to find resons to go out of the house now…. tue supermarket is only a mile or so away… I can pick up some treats for home…
If nothing else, it has been a bit of physical exercise… Mind you, I don’t get out
the measuring tape…
Tomorrow, a couple of our grandchildren visit for a few hours… It will be absolute chaos, but we love it… I get rest before and after…
We go to the park, and play on the swings etc.
I’m hoping to get my driving license back this week… dvla in the uk are very slow, and everything is done by ‘snailmail’. I will only be ackup driver anyway, but it should help things move along…
Are you thinking about maybe getting few days away this year? Just a coulpof days, someone else doing the cooking, different plates etc. The wonderful notion that you won’t actually know what tea is, until it is actually on the table in front of you… And no washing up!
I was awake most of last night, sorting out some important stuff, regarding the things we are actually allowed to do to our home… I t is rental, so we have to behave ourselves!
Let’s try and enjoy ourselves in some way over the next few days… Even if it is sitti g in a favourite chair by an open window… So, a bit garden digging…
Quick before it rains… !
I will keep things short tonight… My eyes are burning… I will attempt to get on here next Friday evening. In the meantime, chocolate beckons!
A little treat from me to me…
