Pianoforte

Sorry, I have missed another day's posting. I wrote some of this post yesterday, but didn't finish it because Dad wanted to use the computer and I felt that I had hogged it for too long already.

______________________________

Today, in between visiting friends with a small baby and visiting my grandparents, I have been playing the piano. I haven't done this properly for ages. I did attempt to play some carols at Christmas, but found that I was even worse at it than I thought I w…

Two of my favourite things*

Yes, I know, I didn't write a post yesterday. I'm going to write two today to make up for it. I know this won't really make it any better, but at least I will have attempted to atone for my blogging sin(s).

I didn't manage to write a post yesterday because I was out for most of the day, and the bits of the day that I was in for involved meals or sleeping (or not) or just not having enough time to write a blog post.

In the morning I went with Mum to help out at the local…

This is a good thing, because hearts are not supposed to shh. However, my heart seems to be making up for its twenty-odd years of shh-ing and is thumping most mightily and, more to the point, noisily. I can hear it all the time. People sitti…

Not Sunday lunch (Part 2)

Oh, dear, I don't know what I was going to write in Part 2. I think I was going to make it clear that I am in no way a technological genius, just in case I had given that impression, although I suspect the bit about me not being able to fix grandma's camera gave that away. Hmm.

Today I went on my longest walk so far (since the operation). I met a friend at the station and we walked into town for lunch, which isn't too far - about ten minutes or so once we'd arrived at where we were goi…

Sunday lunch (Part 1)

We had a lovely roast dinner at my brother's house today. I don't know how his girlfriend manages to cook it all so well. Not only did she cook it beautifully, but she cooked it for eight people, and also managed to fit everyone round a table (using two tables), which was quite impressive given the space available.

It was good to see my brother, his girlfriend and my grandparents again, all of whom seem quite well. Grandma showed everyone her and grandad's holiday snaps - this is a reg…
