This is a very late post because last night and most of today I had a migraine, not fun! So this is what I did over the Bank Holiday weekend..
On Friday, I did very little. Some sleep, some reading, I meditated my way through the Stations of the Cross because it was good Friday!). The idea was to have a restful day and then go to Ma’s for dinner. It didn’t happen because I felt so tired and grumpy, I think it’s a hangover from the sick I had all through March, so rather than inflict that on Ma, I stayed at home.
I was determined to do Saturday differently and bounced out of bed at 8am and started to do stuff. Ma and I went to Jane’s to have haircuts and I decided it was time to have my fringe back.
It feels really strange to have a fringe again and it feels odd that it’s strange, before I grew it out about 2 and half years ago, I’d pretty much always had a fringe so I can’t get my head around having one again!
Then Ma, I went to Homebase and bought all the paint and a new toilet seat because if you’re not living on the edge, you’re taking up too much room!
We followed this up with a trip to M&S so Ma could buy some wine and we also completely failed to buy any lamb and so bought some whisky and champagne instead, it was the day of middle class shopping!
That done, I spent Saturday evening, tidying up, putting the new toilet seat on so that’s a new skill I’ve acquired, and putting all the clocks forward.
On Sunday, we were due up in Watford for lunch for Laura’s birthday. Ben came and picked Ma and I from my house. Lunch was fun. Oli is such a boy. Give a three year old a crutch and it’s going to be a gun..
Then he was a pirate..
He did help his mummy blow out her candles though..
Ma stayed with me on Sunday night, Monday was a quiet sorting myself out day and enjoying the fact the sun was shining.
Feels like it’s been ages since we’ve seen the sun, it’s still freezing but I can live with that for a little while longer if the sun is shining.
