Just back from the Raising of the Cross on our village green - I guess it's been done for many years. Lots of puzzled looks from passing motorists as I think there were probably 500 people there. Unfortunately it is raining.
CV, good to hear the news about your DSM - have a lovely family weekend with her. Sorry to hear about your NDN, MM: how kind of you to have the family to lunch.
Hang on in there, BD. Am impressed with the idea of an Easter tree, but too late now to get some decorations, Rudy. How are all our ailing Crepeys?
I have been discharged by my consultant, but had an interesting conversation with him about the difference between the two knee replacements. The new one is much better: rarely any pain or discomfort now unless I do too much. The old one, on the other hand, is with me all the time: quite often painful, but in any case I am aware of every movement. It turns out that the year after I had it done they changed the supplier of the joints, so that probably explains the difference.
We have had a very hectic week with the grandchildren: Tuesday was Alnwick Gardens followed by afternoon tea at a small bakery in Felton: delicious and definitely not in the dainty category- I think rustic would best describe it, but would certainly go again. Wednesday we had just DGS1 and DH took him out cycling in the afternoon, Thursday was the afternoon when we had all four DGC and we made chocolate lollipops and fairy cakes decorated to look like nests. We were exhausted by the time they left.
I have had highlights in my hair for years and am horrified at the thought of going grey - I like both Aveda and Ojon treatments/shampoos and conditioners. I have also started putting the Philip Kingsley elasticiser on my hair courtesy of the Marks and Sparks advent calendar, and like the way it makes my hair feel.
