Busy!

My absence has been caused by extreme business! I won't give you all details as that would take me hours but I will give you highlights of my days! 

  • Saturday - yummy womens breakfast with a great speaker, cooking for Sunday and Paul's wonderful concert of African music - African Sanctus which included a beautiful rendition of the Lord's Prayer and some great drumming.
  • Sunday - family celebration party for Chloe, a really lovely day together 
  • Monday - trip to Kent with Chloe to do registration stuff at the hospital and look at the area (decided there were some areas she def. wouldn't be living in!!!!!)
  • Tuesday - rest day we were both exhausted and some tutoring
  • Wednesday - we are off to see the musical Matilda (planned as a celebration or commiseration day) 
  • Thursday - another rest day!!! Chloe goes back to Kent for a few days to find a place to live
  • Friday - flowers and bible study
  • Saturday - recovery!!!! 
  • Sunday - church and bookstall 
As you can see it has been really busy and I haven't managed as much resting as I should but so far I am coping. Monday was so busy and involved a lot of walking. It was encouraging to know that Chloe was exhausted at the end of the day too! (and she is young and healthy) Our food on Sunday was very successful - especially the choux buns - all 63 of them! Although the chocolate sauce was a little more tricky and took 2 goes! 

My girlie is surrounded by house/flat details as she needs to find somewhere this weekend as they go to the Lakes and then France next week. It is all go for her. I am excited to see her new adventure begin but sad because I know that  she will never live at home again. We have had the joy of having her around a lot especially this last year and I will miss her. I have offered to go and be their maid - that didn't seem to be a plan they were happy with! Letting go is hard - whenever it happens. I am thankful for phones and texting and emails so that we will be able to keep in touch.

This is Josh's new company - District     http://www.designbydistrict.com     do have a look.
