Overcast and drizzly here today.
I'm off to my mum's for a few days (SW London though it was called Surrey when I lived there).  She's having her 2nd cataract operation, I hope it is as successful and trouble free as the first.  She didn't realise how bad her sight had become.  I laughed when she said that she thought her TV was packing up and now knows that it was her who was packing up.
I'm making a cake to take and doing a chilli to leave for DH - there will be 3 days worth but he will probably eat it all in one go.  I don't always leave him stuff but should save having to clean the cooker when I get back as I can guarantee he will have fried stuff with the gas at full blast.

Ooohhhh love it 

   Thank you for my birthday wishes.   Since I lost husband to cancer in  May 2016 my life changed forever.  But I am gradually establishing my new "normal"  as a widow and a retired person.  Still sewing and machine embroidering but giving myself the space and time to adjust to day to day life.  So thank you all for your birthday wishes today

Happy Birthday. Enjoy your day. 

Misty and mild here, I was not up early this morning but I have been for a swim and have had my coffee in the Institute and I am using their PC to check emails etc. Going to have a quiet day today when I get back home this morning.
