Good morning from a wet Bristol.
Iris had a very nice birthday; her sister organised a non-uniform day for her. It was in the guise of collecting tins and/or money for the food bank almost opposite the school. They raised over £1000 towards it!
Iris liked my present of a (exorbitant) drinking cup thingy. She liked my card even more - I printed off a horse head drawing and pasted it onto a blank card.
We went to a local Japanese restaurant with the other GPs. When they heard that it was her birthday, the staff presented her with a portion of tiramisu with a candle on it! Lovely gesture.
The family insisted that I had been to this restaurant with them before. I said that I had never eaten Japanese food as DH wasn’t keen on raw fish, etc. We only ate out with the family, very, very rarely as a couple.
I enjoyed my”day off”. I pottered napped, planted my daffodils and pansies in the pots..
Today, I must get vegetables from the greengrocer for the harvest festival display on Sunday, Spanish class and the occasional WI book group. The latter depends on the weather. I shall not go out in the pouring rain!
Hugs all round, especially to the FGTs and MD, and am happy for those whose health has improved, who have recently joined…
Carpe diem 💐🦩🦩🦩🦩🌷
