The last few days...

...have been lovely.

Tuesday - to my sisters' by train after work.  9.30pm arrival with chilling and chatting after.

Wednesday - lie in (day off work- yay!) followed by surprising my Dad for his b'day.  Meal with Mum, Dad and Den.  Visit to Uncle and Aunt in afternoon followed by more relaxing en famille.

Thursday - pottering about with Den, then train journey home.  Serendipitous chat with Pastor Josiah from Zimbabwe on the train (never met the man before, talked all journey, gave him the book I was reading about Caring for Life and exchanged e-mail addys - this encounter may well get a blog post of its own!).  Collected by T&E from station, some time with Welsh branch of family then and easy evening meal 'cooked' by husband.

Friday - much pootling, useful hospital appointment and general chilledness.

Saturday - initial disappointment as original plans went astray (apols to those reading who I missed seeing, btw).  This was followed by the realisation that I would be able to make it to the pamper sesh organised by my sis-in-law for her 40th celebrations.  Cooked brunch at local independent garden centre with husband, followed by the addition of funky blue nail foils (is new way of doing nails called Minx) and a mini-facial.  Most unusual pastimes for a Dith, but very welcome indeed.  A relaxed and sparkly Dith then attended birthday meal and ended the evening crashed out at the in-laws.  Great fun.

Sunday - slow start to the day, with leisurely breakfast followed by coffee and doughnut en route home.  Afternoon pottering in garden finally saw the replacement of the tired plants in the hanging basket and the planting out of some violas and cyclamen which have been crying out for it for weeks.  Husband preaching at friendly local chapel this evening, me providing wifely support.  Chat with sis on phone, cheese on toast and chilling in front of telly-box with T&E saw end to day.  Sherpa cat tried helping me to write this and then I went to bed (well, the last bit has not happened yet, but will by the time you read this!)

Hope you are all doing well out there too.  Hugs. :D
