GUESS WHO'S COMING TO VISIT!

I'm sure you've gathered from yesterday's post that it was a fabulous day. I can't remember the last time Mick & I spent so much time out in the garden. How he enjoyed that ice-cream! After lunch I took him back inside and put him on his bed. Although he slept on and off while we were outside it's not the most comfortable sitting position to be in for any length of time. If the weather continues to improve I may have to get the other wheelchair out of the garage.

This is a photo of Mick sunbathing in it at the end of July last year

It's a heavy, cumbersome one and a lot more difficult to get Mick into but it does TIP BACKWARDS a little and is much better for just sitting in; though quite impractical to use if we are out walking.

He ate really well at dinner time. Mick enjoys spicy foods like curries and as we were spending time in the garden I wanted to make a "one pot, stick in the oven and forget" dinner. I had some Lamb Shanks and with some red wine and lots of spices made a Morrocan type dish. It went down really well with Mick and he even managed to finish off some of the Bread & Butter pudding left from lunchtime. I'm hoping some of those spices may cause some bowel movement as my "Movicol in jelly" trick hasn't had any success.

Now for some really exciting news. I received an email for Talj last night asking if she and Andi could come and VISIT us on the 17th! What a fabulous request for them to make. Talj does have health problems of her own so to make the journey to see us is absolutely amazing!
This was my initial reaction.

Manda was here when I received the email and she soon saw my reaction turn to this

She was quite bemused and asked what the problem was. I opened Talj's blog and showed her the photo of Talj and Andi in Talj's living room. A lovely CLEAN sofa; bookshelves that looked like DUST was a foreign word..........how would they cope with my Lady Haversham look!!!! I emailed Talj back and told her of my concerns.....she was a sweetheart and told me not to worry and (to quote her) said......"don't even think about busying yourself with any cleaning before we arrive!!!! ".....OK Talj if you insist!!!......LOL. Just one warning....don't sneeze or the whole of Suffolk could end up looking like this!

This morning has been bright and sunny but somewhat cooler than yesterday; the wind seems quite Northerly, so we only had a short spell outside. It's the first day of Mick's newest patch and he is always sleepier on these days anyway.

“May the sun shine all day long, everything go right and nothing wrong. May those you love bring love back to you, and may all the wishes you wish come true!”
