I can see a slightly blue sky poking its way through the cloudy grey sky and that is just how I feel today. It has been a struggle to recover from the surgery to my arm and I have been a little bit grey but today I can feel a little bit of sunshine creeping in. It was lovely having Chloe home but she had to go back yesterday - ho hum! Children are always leaving! We had a lovely day shopping on Saturday although I was completely exhausted - as in couldn't even put sentences together tired afterwards! I now have SOOOOOOOOOOOOO many projects to get on with. At least I managed to finish one yesterday - a little owl. Hopefully I will post photos later as I am having a new phone today with a lovely camera. My old phone which I have loved for 3 years has decided that it doesn't always want to be a phone and doesn't make phone calls or texts and sometimes won't receive them either. Not much use. I am sorry if I haven't replied to a text you have sent - it is probably my phone deciding it won't tell me you have text me!

Today - some tidying of a very messy house, some cooking of biscuits and an afternoon spent with lovely people of a certain age. Tomorrow lunch with my sisters - lovely. Wednesday - blood tests - not so lovely as now they can only take blood from the lower part of my right arm or my right hand. I have to now protect my upper right arm and elbow in case I need a fistula and they can't use my left arm at all. Soon they won't be able to take blood at all! Friday trip to see rheumatologist. And that's the week gone!
