What a lovely weekend! I was out doing some gardening, believe it or not! It was wonderful. Admittedly a bit cold in the evenings but it is only April still! I went swimming and did ironing and cooking and shopping and saw friends! Simon was stripping wallpaper off our bedroom wall (the last bedroom to be decorated!). It was slow progress as there were about 3 layers to remove but he stuck at it and got there in the end. My Dad helped him out a bit and they seemed to make a great team! Mum and i were more concerned aobut the curtains she is making for our dining room and my maternity trousers which are too long and which she is taking up! So very gender-orientated actions but we all enjoyed ourselves! We just feel so grateful that both sets of parents live so near and are so willing to help us. we simply wouldnt have been able to make the progress on our house that we have made without them all. In fact i am feeling pretty blessed in every way at the moment. I guess it is good to appreciate all that you have and I really do right now. I cant help but hope that this doesnt mean things will start to go wrong for us but for now we just have everything we want/ need! Doesnt stop me being grumpy and selfish and complaining sometimes but I do try not to!
Simon is away with work tonight (he had a driver come and collect him at 6.15 this am- and nearly missed the train from Paddington that he was meeting his BIG boss on but all was OK as he caught it in the end!). So I am going to stay with my friend Debbie. Looking forward to it. Day at work to get through first though!
