It was my birthday yesterday and the family came to visit including one of our GD who I had not seen for a while.

Today DH decided to prune one of the hydrangeas with the hedge trimmer    I smiled and said nothing, just thankful that I don't have to do it.

Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts.  DD brought me home from hospital late Monday night after a holdup with some test results. I'm told that the operation was successful and took about 2 1/2 hours and another couple of hours in recovery.  I am back on soft foods for another week before I can start to eat anything solid.   DD was wonderful, she came and sat with me all day every day and took notes on everything the doctors said I would have been lost without her.

Today I went for some blood tests and then DH and I picked up a few groceries.  It's good to be home.

Judy I've only had Laksa once and really enjoyed it so thank you for the recipe I will certainly try it.

Cookie that's good news that your face is improving.  Enjoy your new 7 and have fun playing with it.

Supermarket shopping this morning. 

Vacuumed the house,  cleaned the bathrooms  and washed the window ledges.

Sausaages and mash with asparagus, broccolini, carrot & zucchini for the men.  Just the veggies for me.

Cookie, that sounds nasty I hope your skin recovers quickly.

We have been having a few problems with the water pipes and taps so we have called a plumber.  It will be a few days before he can come so today I have cleaned out the cupboards under the sink and bathroom basins so everything is clear just incase he comes whilst I'm not home.
