It is quite amazing that last month this blog was looked at 1,324 times. Especially as I waffle such a lot these days! Thank you for continuing to be there for me after all this time.

Today is a foggy day - hopefully it will turn into sunshine later.

Ben's birthday went well yesterday. Although Papageno wasn't so impressed - we gave Ben some monkey slippers and Papageno is very frightened of them especially as sometimes they move and sometimes they just sit there! I also had coffee with a lovely friend - how precious it is to share our lives including our hopes and fears. Honesty can be costly but oh so worth the cost.

Today a morning with Chloe and ladies who lunch and bible study. Chloe has to go back to uni at lunchtime but will be back then for the weekend. I love having her here. The gaps are now getting longer and I miss our chatting. However she will be back for the whole summer as she has placements in Guildford for 3 months. She is beginning to think about what she wants to do in the future and it is so exciting thinking of all the opportunities.

Tomorrow I will spend the day with 2 of my children. We are going out for lunch and then to the cinema. We haven't done that for such a LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG time. Before I was ill. I am looking forward to spending time with them together - lots of chatting and laughing I expect.

I had a long chat with Josh on the phone last night which was lovely. I am slowly learning that he is now a married man and has another life. It is hard to let go and I miss him. But I am very glad that he and Debs are happy and enjoying their first year of married life.

So hopefully you all have exciting weekend plans - Spring feels like it is just around the corner now.
