Monday
Jan 29th 2007PeterLife on hold!
Ok, I’ll cut straight to the chase as I know that the attraction to the blog is the thought of more pictures of Olivia! Upstaged by my (lovely) grandaughter! These show her with Mum’s Teddy Bear, Sebastian.
There is another one a bit further down the page!
As for me, yesterday (Sunday) was another good day. 
My sister came to visit in the afternoon, with her husband and my Neice and Nephew, Charlotte, and William. We had a pleasant afternoon, sitting in the conservatory with the sun streaming in, toasting our feet on the underfloor heating!
Yesterday was also a bit of a food-fest too – breakfast was a couple of rashers of bacon on some bread (I’m not sure I can manage a full sandwich – my saliva supply is still a bit limited) and I also managed a sausage. Mid afternoon I felt a bit peckish (as you do!) and managed another sausage on some bread (in addition to a few ginger biscuits!)
Last night Tom and Vicki brought Olivia round, and we had a full Family Sunday Dinner, everyone here including Katie, who had come back from Bournemouth for the weekend.. Dinner was probably the biggest meal I have eaten since before Christmas. We started by toasting Olivia (with some bubbly!) and then went on to roast beef with all the trimmings, A lovely piece of corner topside from our local farm shop. I managed 2 helpings, some vegetables, and some horseradish, something I couldn’t have contemplated 4 days ago. (Ok I did have a third helping of beef – but it was cut thinly!) After that we had a syrup sponge. I thought I was a bit full after dinner, but two (small) helpings with lots of custard seemed to disappear quite easily! Sorry that this has turned into a food description, but it seems like a major milestone!
This morning (same breakfast) we had a visit from my local GP. I haven’t been registered with a GP before – my primary health care being the concern of work, but as the GP has access to support services that might become necessary, it seems to be a sensible precaution!
However, enough of me – here is the final photo (this session!) of Olivia!

and so they should!!
Glad to see you caused consternation over your ‘restor’-ative remarks.
Can just about remember being at the BT tower (I think!)
Bacon sarnies sound much better than the ‘virtual’ fare we came up with for the resort – keep off the chocolate coated bugs
Love and Hugs

She is gorgeous. What a treasure!
Glad that your appetite is returning, when you feel up to it you and Felicity must come over for some supper: treacle pudding a-plenty will be available. See you soon, love & hugs

I wish I had a grand child! Congratulations to the Boraston and Prow family from all the Maunders. Rob said Olivia is fabulous and enjoyed his cuddle!

Well, I just had to take a look at those photos! Olivia is just so sweet!
Glad to hear that you had such a good day yesterday and that you’re beginning to enjoy your food again.
Lots of love,

Hi from your very own CARE team fan club,
Here we are sitting in the Goldfish Bowl in sub zero temperatures complete with ear muffs, finger mittens and fluffy slippers reading about your Sunday in the conservatory, toasting your feet on the underfloor heating whilst the sun streamed in and we just wanted you to know that we are reading your Blog everyday and in true Boraston style you manage to make us smile – 2 helpings of pudding is not excessive by the way- thats normal isn’t it ? !!!
Little Olivia is gorgeous – guess she is changing every day but no doubt loving all the attention she is getting from her doting grandad!
Peter, we are so proud to know you. Some people make the world special simply by being in it and you are one of those people.
Take care xxxx

Glad your appetite is back. I am trying to restrict mine. Life is so unfair……!
