What made you smile today?

I like good knives!

I love a santoku knife - mine is my go-to for pretty much anything. My husband would be telling you off about storing them that way up on the rack, though... handles up is safer, because if it slips, it's not going to slice your hand open. He's drilled it into me and now I can't see knives stored blade-up without cringing!

@Candy , is there not one nook of your house that isn't absolutely adorable? That's my way of saying "lovely kitchen".

You haven't seen the smaller spare bedroom general drying in wet weather room and dumping ground for stuff that I don't know where to put! Particularly bad just now because the Charity Shops have been closed and I haven't been able to get to the tip!

I was feeling down about my injury, I'm not healing fast enough for me. Pushing hard but depressed by the pain. Physios just rung me. Such a nice person she taught me some exercises over the phone. She was surprised how much mobility I have in my knee already and how much walking lve been doing. She cheered me up so much despite how I was feeling. She reasurred me told me how these things take time and that she would send more stuff to do with my leg throught the post. She was so kind and helpful.

I can truly empathise with you Sarah , I was the same after my surgery and hospitalisation , nothing happened fast enough ( for me anyway ) . Patience with ones self is very hard when you are a stoic person , glad you have some virtual help , just take it steady x

Yeah, but we've all got one of those. I don't even have a house, but I have a nook in the car where things I don't know what to do with just kind of gather.

We are asking children at school for their termly feedback.
"What do you think you've achieved this term?"

I have always found Physios to be lovely positive people. They have helped me so much over the years with various injuries., and yes, they have always had to tell me to slow down, be patient and give my body a chance to heal itself. They were always right too!

Little Brother is 60 today! How can that be?!
He had no idea what he wanted for his birthday, but he had told me that he and Jenny were taking the day off work and hoping to go for a picnic, so I sneakily had them a hamper full of really nice goodies delivered with love from Joy and me. He rang tonight to thank me and for a chat. They're coming up to visit on Friday of next week, will stay for Saturday night as well and have invited GGJ and me to go back with them on the Sunday and stay for a week! By then it will be 15 weeks minus one day since I have touched another person or shared a meal with anyone. I am SO excited! They will be working when Joy and I stay with them, but we will have a change of scene, different walks, people to cook for EVERY EVENING and best of all COMPANY for just over a whole week! It's the first time in so long that I have had a definite thing to look forward to on a definite date and it's already making a huge difference to how I feel. I have coped, adapted, tried hard to be brave and to do my very best, but it has been a challenge. Now I'm smiling so much that I'm worried my face might split!
Pee Ess and Joy will be so very happy as well! Wish I could explain it to her!

Oh! Massive house clean will be needed! I have been focusing on the garden and keeping Joy happy! The dining room is like a cross between a greenhouse and a garden shed! Project for the coming week!

 

[Jen]

He’s such a little babe. I love him so much
