So, Today I Have..

[Vagus]

Tried on my swimming costume, thinking ahead to France in May. OMG, back to the drawing board :/
Spent time in a Sainsbury’s cafe eating a sausage batch (yuk, never again) and drinking a very, very nice Starbucks latte.
Ironed two of his shirts, one of mine, and a pair of his jeans. That’s my months worth of ironing sorted :)
Will put the kettle on shortly for a cuppa to have with an M&S chocolate eclair which will make getting out of bed today worth the effort.
How much more exciting can life get..that’s a challenge for you!

Well today I have had my hair cut had lunch with himself. Got him his present he is chuffed, bought some seed tatties, then some bargains in Sainsbury’s.
Am now knackered and enjoying a G&T

Eaten Breakfast and lunch chatted on here and got some sleep that I missed last night after a long chat with my sepsis trust nurse. Exciting life I'm having.

Think we may have gone to the same Eurocamp as Zac, because we went to Clermont-Ferrand and carcassonne on the way. Been to Paris and aupaired in Aurillac, cantal in my late teens. Was quite fluent in French when I came home.

Cor Helen, that’s a very exciting day..haircut, present buying, lunch out, seed tatties, and bargains in Sainsbury’s. A well deserved G&T, hmm, might have to go and make one myself now. Was trying to abstain as I’ve a blood test on Friday but I don’t suppose one (or two) would hurt.
MissT, that sounds a perfect day for you, under the circumstances. I really hope the sepsis nurse was able to come up with some coping strategies. Tomorrow is another day, the weather is slowly improving, as are you. Wishing you well x

Will need an early night tonight lol

I only have schoolgirl French but used to really enjoy having conversations with French people, who were without fail very helpful and smiley at my attempts. I only ever encountered one French person who was tight lipped and rude, and that was because we’d just heard that London had got the Olympics in 2012. He wasn’t a happy lapin!

Prepared an embroidery for framing, been to the hospital to collect new RA meds, three hour sewing group, started new piece, came home, now trying to decide between steak pie and veggies, or pizza,with salad...

Thank you Vagus. Sepsis nurse Oliver is available for a chat any time every week day until 4.00pm. He's great. He advised to just do what I want and not to feel guilty about not doing anything and to relax. Im useless at relaxing. I'm a non stop worrier. I'm also seeing a councellor.

'Think we may have gone to the same Eurocamp as Zac'

Oooh. Pretty sure it was this one:

Steak pie and veggies, Rowan, can’t beat a proper dinner on a cold nasty day. I saw some of the embroideries you’d posted photos of, they really are wonderful, I don’t know how you have the patience. I’ve done embroidery in the past and have a few of mine framed hanging in the wall in the house, nothing as complex and intricate as those though. Also a very precious sampler my mum did when I was a small girl.
Well, MissT, Oliver is right. I had a big op quite a while ago and had to learn patience so I do know how difficult it can be, but you just have to. There’s nothing more important than your recovery right now.
Well, I suppose I’d better go and warm up yesterdays veg soup, as always it was a surprise soup, and this one turned out a pleasant surprise for a change!

Very much on that bit of coastline, Zac, but it was years ago. Come to think of it was decades ago, so I don't recognise anything except the beach and we were there during the mistral ! We drove down to Spain from there.

We used to spend a lot of time on what we called the Shell Beach due to the huge shells there. It was very close to Cap d’Agde, along a long sort of causeway road with campsites one side and this huge, long, beautiful sandy beach the other. I have the shells we collected in a glass container on the windowsill in our en suite.
