    Happy Monday everyone.

    Woke up with such a start this morning, I didn't know where i was or what day it was. Jumped out of bed and then stood there for a bit feeling somewhat disorientated. Quite a weird feeling but have since checked that it definitely is Monday morning!

    Recent pleasures:

    1. Little fella had his operation yesterday. A long day, they arrived just after 7 and finally left, stocked up with meds, about 7.30 last night. He's now got titanium rods through both the bones in his arm to straighten and pull them together, one seemed to be fusing properly but the other was definitely out of line so good they got on with sorting it. He's all plastered up again but because his bones are still growing in due course they will have to remove the rods. He coped very well, he's a brave little chap and never makes a fuss. Very glad it's done and he is now on the mend. He will do his SATS this week but will do today's on Friday and school have arranged for him to do them 1:1 with a teacher to turn his pages and so on and extra time if he gets tired.
    2. Sister is finally home from hospital with orders to completely rest for the next 3-4 weeks, after which they will do more tests. She is shattered but glad to be home. Her case is so complicated and unusual that her specialist is apparenty going to write a paper on her!
    3. Finally done my wardrobe swap over and been very ruthless with getting rid of clothes that just don't fit our lifestyle any more. Not much need these days for work suits and shoes with heels too high to walk in now I run around in flat shoes all day. There is now room for things to breathe in my wardrobes and a very healthy pile for the charity shop.
    4. Just finished Love Lane, the latest Patrick Gale novel, he certainly can create an atmosphere though a bit grim in parts. On to the next on my reading pile.
    5. Looking forward to our annual ten days in beautiful South Devon, one of our favourite places. Last year it was absolutely boiling in May, this year it seems it will be cooler and possibly damper. Won't bother us iin the least, will just be happy to be there and will take it as it comes.

    Have a good Monday, whatever you are up to.
