Not bad slept until 9 are and then it was over in a veritable salvo of moans which had Richie getting me pain relief in the form of THC vapour real quick.

Took three bags today to stop the moaning and then the leg massage and baclofen and more bags and some tlc did the trick and I felt ready to throw myself into the delights of the day.

Not sunny yet but it is getting there, the cloud is thinner now then when Richie first opened the curtains.

Whatever it is like outside in here the sun is shining very brightly, heard brilliant news last night that our neighbour Willes does not have to move far.

She is going to move from the 4 floor to the ground floor, great hearing this as we have been living with the thought that she had to move out.

That is because the corner flats are for people in wheelchairs, which her husband was but sadly he died in November 2007 and she has to leave as she is not in a wheelchair.

Hope she stays out of a wheelchair for years but it could happen as she also has MS and needs walking aids to get around.

The solution is the empty ground floor flat so we won't have to miss her as she will be right here.

What a relief to know she won't be out of the neighbourhood which we have been worried about since January.

She is an excellent neighbour real good fun plus supportive and helpful despite her own ill health.

The idea that she would not be around was really awful especially as both Richie and I love having such a dynamic friend and neighbour.

Forgot to mention yesterday that on Tuesday Marianne and Cecile wee here to drink some sparkling prosecco.

It was good fun I drank perhaps 4 swallows and really felt the alcohol which was great fun, the sun was shining and it was very warm.

Have to get the ‘ladies’ organised and get another bottle here quickly to celebrate the good news about Willes staying.

Three cheers!!!
