Sounds like you had a very good week. Good news your sister feeling better, I hope her husband is recovering well too. Marvellous news about your perfect blood pressure reading. Enjoy the remainder of the weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt has been a good week. My sister is feeling better and her husband is on the mend, though a day or two behind her. At least they are getting better ... I can't describe the relief!
DeleteI should qualify the BP check ... it was perfect for me! My readings are always high compared to those of a 'normal' person but the nurse knows me well and was delighted with the result.
I hope you've had a lovely weekend. I'll be watching Les Mis tonight on Sky Arts, so the perfect way to finish off the weekend.
Your weeks are going so very well at the moment. Yet again, your Sunday blog has made me smile and cheered me up. Thank you so much!

Thanks Joy. Things are going well for me at the moment (long may that continue!) and I'm very aware that life is slowly changing for the better. xx
DeleteI love reading your weekly reflections every Sunday.
ReplyDeleteSo happy your sister is recovering well and your blood pressure is perfect.
Have another nice week!:)
Thanks Irune. I spoke to my sister this morning and they are both feeling much better, though still tired out. I've explained about my blood pressure in my response to the first comment (above) 😊
DeleteI hope you have a good week to look forward to as well xx
Very good news that your blood pressure was perfect for you! I know how that goes, because mine has tended to run high, but, my most recent reading was very good, even for normal people - so much so that the nurse was surprised! :D
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that your sister and her husband are recovering. It must be a big relief!
Another good week filled with things to be cheerful and grateful; I'm so happy for you. I hope it continues to be that way. :)
I was surprised at the BP result as I felt it would be higher but I'm not complaining ... it was obviously a good day when I went as I didn't bleed all over the place after the blood tests were taken and I didn't faint either. 🤭
DeleteIt's good news about my sister and BiL. I can stop worrying now!
Thanks Bless. It has been a good week and it looks like this coming week will be just as good xx
Great reasons to be grateful! Love that photo with the lovely blue skies and fluffy clouds. Cheers me up no end
