I've had a bit of a quiet day. Mostly because I have just got too tired over the last few days. I heard my husband getting ready to serve dinner last night and then the next thing I knew was waking up startled with him looking at me in the doorway to the cabin. He had my dinner with him and had been popping his head in twice previously asking if I was awake. I ate the lovely dinner and then must have dropped off again because when I woke up and asked if there was pudding, he said he'd asked me three times. He'd also turned the coffee machine on and made one, which is really loud in a small space and normally wakes me up. This morning he went for a run with friends but prior to leaving made me my breakfast shake and passed it in. I'd obviously been conscious enough to take it and put it behind my pillow but I didn't wake up till midday and hadn't had any of it. I think that the combination of the wind noise and maybe pushing myself a bit too hard physically crafting, which makes it hard to manage my pain levels, is all just catching up with me. So I listened to my body and rested. Had a lovely talk with my daughter, who's exam went better than she was worried it would.
My husband made us another nice dinner with the leftovers of the Moroccan chicken dish from last night and followed it by cherries and greek yoghurt. Lidl has a great range of frozen fruit and it's tasty.
@Imbluedalale Sorry to hear that you are having a bit of a "meh" day but you are right, it's one day not a whole life. It's also understandable that you are feeling anxious about your operation and feeling alone. I know it's not the same as having someone physically with you but we are all going to be there in spirit with you. The naughty side of my brain wonders if the ambulance driver has put the sign up for his talkative paramedic partner. Like a "Please don't talk so much, you're making me deaf!" 😂😂
Really sorry to hear about your friend having a relapse and being back in hospital. It's unsettling when you think someone is doing ok and then find out that they aren't and brings up lots of feelings in yourself doesn't it?Maybe it was just too much too soon to be out. I guess the important thing is that at least he's made it to hospital, so he'll have people to make sure he's ok.

Your dining experiences sound lush. I'm partial to both a baked camembert and duck. My husband is one of those people who can eat his bodyweight in food and never gain an ounce. Meanwhile I have a continuous battle with weight and look like a side of a house, so I can empathise with the worry about putting on weight, especially when I can't exercise. It's important to have some things you enjoy too though and I'm sure a couple of meals out won't hurt in the overall scheme of things.
@spoonfulofmustard I hope your plants survived their unexpected relocation. My sister in law just sent a picture of their rather large tree that's been blown over into next door's garden. It missed the house and nobody was hurt but it must have been a big shock and going to take a fair bit of work to remove it.
@nornironlady It's great to have big plans and I've seen people making some really nice things with wicker. You're going to have fun experimenting and creating.
