A Lazy Sunday.

Today's been really relaxed and lazy Sunday which I thoroughly enjoyed, I slept right through until 12.00.

Then no sooner had I woken up when the phone rang and it was Gareth on the phone from Wales, which was a wonderful surprise.

He and his partner Paul, will be over here on 14^th of September and the best bit is that they'll be staying with us for the first three days.

It will be brilliant to have them staying with us, that's the third this year that we had friends staying with us.

I find I am getting quite excited about the prospect of their visit, it'll be nice to see them again, the last time was in September 2010.

A lot has happened since then for all of us, they've been renovating their house so I hope to hear all about it and maybe see some more photos too.

In 2010 the weather was much pleasanter in September than it is at the moment, it is quite cool so much so I have the windows shut in the bedroom.

Quite amazing given that the windows were both or either open up until Thursday since when is become cold enough for me to need a blanket at night.

Something I haven't needed since March, if it carries on getting cooler I will be needing my duvet very soon, usually that is necessary at the end of October.

Who knows what will happen with the weather, it could also suddenly get a lot warmer again we'll just have to wait and see.

Today has been good for me as I'm pleasantly relaxed now, I'm going to find another piece of art by Roberto Matta, a wonderful Chilean surrealist artist.

Whose work I admire, I think he was a great artist, who was extremely prolific so there's a lot of paintings to choose from which makes me very happy.

Interaction With Friends.

Luckily for me today is another changeable day with loads of clouds and a cool breeze, amazingly it's already the 1^st of July.

Quite unbelievable given the cool weather we've been having since May, it really is either April weather or autumn, not summer which it’s supposed to be.

Still feel quite mean hoping for cool days, hot and humid weather like on Wednesday is quite catastrophic for me.

On Wednesday I couldn't do anything apart from look at my blog as my index finger could not function in the heat and I felt terrible.

All I could do was to open posts and save as drafts so that I could write up my notes the following day.

On Thursday there was breeze which helped me to function better than the day before, it was quite a relief for me and I'm sure for many others too with Multiple Sclerosis.

I really hate looking forward to it being cool and overcast, that really is not me I'm somebody that loves sunshine and still do as long as the temperature does not get any higher than 24° with breeze.

Our good friend Anja visited us on Friday, which was lovely it really is nice to have friends around; sadly her visit was short.

Visits with her are always too short and no wonder as it always such a pleasure to see a good friend like Anja.

We discussed the council and we agreed that if I had not heard anything on Wednesday, I would let her know and she will phone the council to enquire.

On Friday Anja’s partner Erik and their son Bosse came by to pick her up, it was really nice to see both of them again.

It is noticeable how few people we see on a regular basis, but that's how it has been for quite some time, especially since I became less mobile.

It was not so obvious when we were both still could go out to work and after work we could stroll around and enjoy this beautiful city and see friends.

Then I became handicapped and had to stop work, ever since then our world has become smaller, which we try our best to ameliorate as much as possible.

These days any interaction with friends is so good for us, it really is enjoyable spending time with other people and engaging with different ideas.
