    Was lovely seeing you - thanks for coming round - spent the afternoon watching catch up tv…..so lovely lazy day. Next time you visit, hopefully the track will actually be in place and there won’t be building rubble everywhere 😳👍
    Dh survived his day at work….seems to be moving it a bit more tonight 👍

    Beanie it’s such a shame we’re so spread around the uk. Once we get the van and visit Bonnie Scotland we might well get that coffee 👍

    I've just read Dr Rangan Chattergees new book about weight loss,it's not a diet plan but it goes into why most diets don't work and just lead to more weight gain or losing and gaining the same weight over and over again which is my problem 
    Just started reading this.
    You will have to let me know what you think 😊

    SSG that would be lovely 👍
    Well I had a lovely lazy day yesterday. It was my lovely sister in laws 70th birthday, she has put up with my brother for 45 years 😂😂😂….she never forgets anyone’s birthday and puts me to shame with the things she makes - usually for the care home she worked in until a few months ago. We don’t usually bother with presents but since it was a special one I wanted to get her a little something. I bought her a knitting pattern book with 200 small things to make and half a dozen assorted balls of wool. I spent all day crocheting a special card with flowers on and took it around last night - she was thrilled to bits with them. We stayed about an hour and put the world to rights. It was so good to see them 
    I spoke to the GP who wants me to have some blood tests since I’m still getting very tired….I’ve had 2 lots of blood tests recently and nothing showed so I’m convinced it’s weak muscles around my midriff- it’s the 5 th big lot of surgery I’ve had in 15 years…..it’s just a matter of time and balancing pacing myself and building up as far as I’m concerned. They have to check everything out though I suppose.
    Not sure how today will pan out. If it’s not too hot I might begin to paint my mini greenhouse. If it’s too hot I’ll sit inside with the doors open and crochet 😃
