Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow, where its only 7°C. A warm day is forecast, I hope it actually happens!
Yesterday was spent at a breezy seaside with Dollie. She was in excellent form and great company. I am, however, bankrupt, after spending all my life savings in the toy shop, amusements, and on fish suppers and ice cream!
All was well, until she stepped on some seaweed, which was actually covering a hole, filled with water and slimy seaweed. Yuk, yuk, yuk!
She totally freaked out, as her wellies were full of slime and her trousers covered in it. We actually forget that she is so young and still easily upset.
Given that DD and SIL are staying and added into the mix, a surprise visit from DS2, she co-erced everyone into playing board games. DS2 was relieved to escape!
At the moment, she is sleeping beside me, like a princess. My eyes are filling up watching her and seeing how innocent she looks.
Susan, I can empathise with your situation, my mother also refused offers of help, to the point that she refused to allow workmen in to do essential repairs, but was letting strangers in to the house. I was at my wits end.
Once Dollie goes home, I have a multitude of things to do, after very little sleep. Not because of Dollie, who has slept all night, because of the excruciating levels of joint pain. There is no respite!
For all who have mountains to climb, and burdened with worry and sorrow, I wish you a gentle day. ?
