Sunday… and a cold and frosty morning

Winter SceneThis was the view that greeted me this morning, although during the day the weather has got progressively wetter! In fact it was equally frosty yesterday so we decided to have the first open fire (in the fireplace!) of the season.

My parents were visiting this weekend, so I had some assisitance with the remainder of the ‘little plumbing job’ that I started last weekend, the final bit of installation of the power shower in the main bathroom. All went well. and it is now fitted and working. There is another little modification I need to do later (replace one of the push fit joints with a solder fitting) but that isn’t urgent.

AllHowever the highlight of the weekend was the Christmas Dance at work, when we took Katie and Rachael along for the first time – and stunning they looked too. And just so you can all share the moment, here is a photo! We all had an excellent evening!

Not much to report health-wise. I still get sundry aches and pains – mainly when I am lying down, which makes sleeping tricky – in fact I have been sleeping sitting up in bed. I’m not sure how I will get on with the PET scan, because that entails lying down – and still – for about 30 minutes, and the aches start getting pretty painful after about 5 minutes – still, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it! I should get notification of the appointment early this week, as the intention is to do it soon.

So that is it so far – onwards and upwards!

    Sorry……..what is frost? An early start? Much whiter here under the Moon light.

    More evident with the LED lamps

    Peter:
    You need to move to the frozen North – no frosts here yet. In fact the weather in the South is far more dramatic; I got caught up in last week’s tornado in that all trains back to civilisation were cancelled and I endured a £300 taxi ride home!
    As you know, there is nothing I don’t knnow about hernias so if you would like an on line consultation just let me know!

    I thought perhaps you would like me to be your manager. It is not often (Osmans and Carpenters aside) that you see a family band and singers on the stage.

    Just caught up with your news. What a great photo! We went to David’s “do” on Friday too.

    We’ve got everything crossed again for your appointment this week. Hope the travelling goes smoothly too!

    Lots of love,
