Hello, sorry not caught up with thread, went to Mum's this morning and then was asleep since I got home. Mum's doing a bit better - she's coming out in bruises but is able to bear weight on her twisted knee which is good - she managed to have a shower and went up and down the stairs a couple of times while I was there and she managed a very short walk up the road so that was good. Then mum lay on the bed and we played scrabble and then I made her lunch and came home. It was very pleasant but I'm completely worn out this evening.
Hoping to wash up this evening - I will be very happy if I can do that. I've done my French lesson, knitting, written a card, Bible reading and decorated the cover of my scrapbook today so I've been quite productive! Any tips on scrapbooking will be gratefully received as I've never done one before
Also: who's the best to get your digital photos developed?
Flying: washing up tonight, tidying LR and bedroom tomorrow and see how I get on from there!"Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things, but just look what they can do when they stick together."
