I cannot fathom how Peter can look so well on the outside yet be so wafty on the inside, but that is how it is. Luckily with fantastic medical care he has managed to drag himself back to near normality, and we can once again enjoy life and live it.
The 2nd attempt at a family hot air balloon flight was cancelled yesterday due to high wind .
Somehow I have managed to choose the two windiest days this summer. So we went out for a really nice meal instead, its was a smashing evening all together round the table Peter laughing and looking so well. Only one thing worries us ...... If the flights keep getting cancelled, and we have these meals out instead, Will we end up to fat to fly?....
Peter and I spent last weekend in Brighton the hotel was awful but we had fun on the pier, an interesting tour of the Pavilion. and enjoyed the normality of the break. Time between appointments doesn't allow us to travel far but we have been to several shows. and days out on coach trips.with more booked way into next year.
Its not all good tho
Monday I test drove a new car wearing my reading glasses, Peter said all this effort to get me well and your trying to kill me on the road.....
I got shouted at on Tuesday morning for taking the hosepipe off the tap, Peter went out to water the plants and couldn't find it, MEN! I went outside to look and man eyes......... he hadn't noticed we had been robbed in the night, garden furniture etc even the hosepipe all gone........ without me I wonder when he would have noticed. Ha!
The young men who cut down the trees after I stopped Peter doing it had stood in my garden and used that hosepipe to shower themselves as they were so hot and sweaty...
Phew Diet Coke Break had nothing on that ............. I will always remember that hosepipe..............
