Catching Up.

Lovely flowers were received yesterday from my husband for Valentine's Day.

Cards were exchanged.

I spotted this Chaffinch in the garden today...I think there were several as I could hear them singing away.

The sun was shining which was nice as we have had such changeable weather lately.

Over the last ten days since I last posted:

Bread has been made

Delicious with my home made plum jam.

Lemon cake has been made and eaten.

Last Friday I had a Ketamine Infusion.  I didn't have such a bad reaction as last time which was good. Heart rate and blood pressure remained stable.  I managed to read through most of it before I got a bit 'fuzzy' and couldn't concentrate.  This was just after they put the drip in.  The nurse had a bit of a problem and I ended up with a brushed arm AND hand...but it is fine now, it didn't especially hurt which was something!  Unfortunately it had no effect and the pain is much as it ever was.  I asked about the Lidocaine patches, but the pain clinic won't prescribe those (read - financial reasons!)  Go figure, fancy prescribing something that might actually help a bit.  

In the garden there has been some signs of spring.

At my son's house there were some lovely snowdrops.  None of mine have come up this year.

Also some beautiful crocus.

We've had a couple of lovely meals out with our beautiful daughter in law and also visited another couple of times which has been nice.  

Currently in the oven.... a fruit cake.

Sunday Summary

A quiet weekend...

The Robin was busy round the bird feeder

The sun was lovely this morning, but I had a very slow start as woke during the night with a terrible headache for some reason.... it eventually cleared by late afternoon.  This is the room I sleep in when the road noise is quiet - which isn't very often, but this bed is more comfortable than ours, so when I can I sleep in here.

Currently reading this book.

This afternoon we went up to see our DIL and to go out for a meal at the local pub.  I was supposed to be cooking but due to the delay to my day because of the bad head, we decided to have a meal out instead.  It was lovely!  First time we have eaten there and I can see us going back.  On the way home the bells were ringing in the church and it was beautifully lit up.  What a lovely way to finish the day.
