Hello! Not done much today flyingwise or caught up on the thread, sorry about that! I've been out this morning and was resting this afternoon. Had a lovely morning, the weather was gorgeous! Had a nice chat with my friend too so that was good.
I've washed up and made DH clean the bathroom sink after he shaved and left it all dirty. And the bag with all the glass bottles/jars has just split and the glass is all over the floor so I'd better go and clean that up I guess! I don't think anythings broken, it's on the lowest hook so not far to fall!
Going over to Mum's tomorrow so probably won't be able to get on here at all. I think I will take my scrapbook stuff so I can have something to do in between fetching drinks and doing what ever she needs me to do! She's still just staying in bed as she can't manage the stairs, but it will probably do her good to have some enforced rest altho the pain is probably tiring her out."Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things, but just look what they can do when they stick together."
