The weather for the first two weeks was very chilly and windy with showers most days and very little sunshine. I felt very sorry for those on holiday.
Whilst I am having a wonderful holiday with family and friends it has also been possible to use it as a "boot camp" to improve my mobility and my goodness I'm doing well so far. I went shopping with a friend for three hours the other day, without sitting down at all. Of course I physically paid for it but soon recovered. Shopping for shoes and wholesale buying of stuff from the garden centre is great therapy. I even got a 10% discount!
Keeping the kitchen tidy, being Sous Chef and looking after the log fire are my every day responsibilities. It means I have to bring in heavy baskets of logs as well as lighting and maintaining the fire. It is still a bit chilly in the evenings, but its always nice to sit in front of a log fire I think, though it's obvious that my daughter would rather I didn't as she worries about me. Actually she said the other day "You are very strong aren't you?" I said "Not bad considering my catalogue of ailments and age" But she insisted for any age, so I was well pleased.
My Artist friend and I are having an outing tomorrow with our paints etc and hope to produce some sketches after a meal at my favourite restaurant. I really appreciate the many blessings in my life.
Anyway, it you are still reading this, sorry the above is so boring but it puts you in the picture. Talking of which I hope to post some very soon.
