Happy Chocolate Day. I don’t believe any of that ridiculous stuff but I do enjoy the holiday and, of course, chocolate. Happy Chocolate Day to everyone who has some chocolate and happy holiday to everyone else!
Lovely visit
Sat 30th Mar, at 09:35 am | Deirdre | Diary
I had a lovely visit from my son and his partner. It took them five and a half hours to get here in the bank holiday traffic but it was still a good visit. They brought me a Hotel Chocolat Easter egg and also some new saucepans which was really nice of them.
Rang the Engineer
Fri 29th Mar, at 08:49 am | Deirdre | Diary
Of course, being a Bank Holiday, when I was coming down on my stairlift this morning it broke down. Well, it went a few inches and then stopped and I had to keep refreshing the switch. So I managed to get down and rang the Engineer. I was told to send it up and down with the remote which I did and then I took it upstairs and back with me on. It seems fine now. So I went on preparing for my day.
Weight management
Thu 28th Mar, at 08:27 am | Deirdre | Diary
Apparently this weight management programme the surgery put me forward for, the aim is a loss of 5% of body weight by six months and 10% by the year. I have nearly lost 10% in twenty weeks so they are very pleased with me and I am really chuffed.
Plenty of time
Tue 26th Mar, at 08:24 am | Deirdre | Diary
I realised that I have plenty of time so had a bath and washed my hair. I feel much better now although extremely tired.
Needs a wash
Tue 26th Mar, at 07:42 am | Deirdre | Diary
I am aware that my hair needs a wash but I am really tired and thinking that I can postpone it. I have S coming to help me hang some new curtains in a little while and don’t feel up to rushing!
A lot happening
Mon 25th Mar, at 07:35 am | Deirdre | Diary
There’s a lot happening today and over the next few days. I have visitors coming within the hour.
Breakfast in bed
Sun 24th Mar, at 08:53 am | Deirdre | Diary
I am feeling a lot better and a lot less stressed now that everything has been sorted out about my new furniture. So I am having breakfast in bed as usual for a Sunday.
Should feel better
Sat 23rd Mar, at 11:39 am | Deirdre | Diary
Today I feel like I have a rotten cold so not much energy. I usually read my New Statesman on a Saturday but I don’t feel much like it. It’s the Easter Special which covers two weeks so I will read it next weekend when I should feel better.
After breakfast
Fri 22nd Mar, at 07:40 am | Deirdre | Diary
I had a Shingrix non live shingles vaccination yesterday and I feel pretty rotten and my arm is very sore. On top of that I didn’t sleep well so I’m wondering if it would be okay for me to have a bath and wash my hair or if I should postpone it. I will see how I am after breakfast.
