Weekly Reflections

more books from my sister

 

Reasons to be cheerful ...

• texting, phoning, and emailing with family and friends
• driving my car again for the first time since March 17th - Niall came with me and would have taken over the driving if necessary but I managed without any problems. This is the first step to regaining my independence.
• enjoying watching Destination X, Blindspot, and Ballard on TV and Prime Video
• meeting another neighbour
• actually going shopping in person to choose some greetings cards rather than buying online or asking someone else to buy them for me
• reading The Last Word by Elly Griffiths
• booking the tradesmen to start work in September, and
• ordering the kitchen and bathroom units and tiles
• buying three second-hand 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles from a charity shop
• playing canasta with the u3a group
• continuing to run my u3a Something Snappy group - we have a new member joining us next time
• resuming blogging

I am grateful ...

• for the NHS and the care that my sister continues to receive and the care that they will extend to me once the referrals to the specialists are done
• for the help received from family, friends and neighbours
• for the free help extended by the IKEA kitchen department to plan my new kitchen
