Sunshine Today Mostly Inside.

Not the beautiful sunshine like the past few days, between 10 and 11 there was abit of sunshine from behind the clouds but sadly no direct sun today it is grey and it is raining now.

But I do not mind too much, as there was a glimmer of sun again when I emerged very relaxed from the shower.

Richie got the Motomed from the other room and once my feet were strapped in he had a great surprise for me.

Yesterday he went to the garden centre and bought some spring flowers, and planted up two troughs of spring flowers, in the room so now I have daffodils, primulas, pansies, lavender and outside behind Spike pansies and primulas.

He also got me a beautiful yellow orchid, the little yellow flowers look to me like little yellow butterflies, and it is lovely.

The flowers are really gorgeous and the lavender smells very nice and the three roses that Cecile gave me for my birthday are even prettier next to the other plants.

And the hibiscus that Willes, our wonderful neighbour gave me for my birthday looks even better with the other plants.

Makes the bedroom look so much nicer, really feels like spring has come now and when the daffodils blossom it will have really arrived for me.

Not long after I was back in bed Marianne came to visit and brought some sunshine with her,
hearing her ring the bell got the dogs going, they went mad when they heard her voice.

Spike is in good form, hard to believe it is only a week since the operation, but he is almost putting his foot on the ground already.

The wound is healing well and looks healthy, the stitches will be taken out on Monday, by next week Friday he should be able to have the plastic bucket taken off his head.

It is wonderful the progress Spike has made in just one week, especially after how terrible the aftermath of the anaesthetic was for the little dog.

Very impressed with how cheerful Spike has been and how well and quickly he adapted to running on 3 legs.

He also demonstrated how clever he is, he uses the plastic head bucket to scoop up his biscuit and or crumbs if they drop out of his mouth.

So despite lack of sunshine outside there was plenty inside today for me.

Sadly No Progress.

Yesterday was a good day, not as busy as some of my Birthdays in the past.

But nevertheless it was a pleasant day with a few surprises.

I now have 4 big bunches of flowers plus 4 small roses in pots adorning my bedroom.

The hyacinths in one bunch really scents the room up nicely, love their scent, it really is the first delightful scent of spring.

Got quite worried about Ton's visit today, so much so could not get off to sleep, and ahd to wake my darling and ask for a sleeping tablet.

This got me to sleep with no problem and next thing that I knew it was 10 ama nd Richie had opened the curtain.

Ton arrived some hours later at 1 pm and had a quick look to see if the ting cut/skin tear had healed but no it was the same.

He always noted that it is not infected and looks healthy just no progress.

Then Ton observed how Richie puts the band around me in order to ho0ist me out of bed.

He saw thei whole process, saw Richie p-lacpign me in the chair and adjst me, at every stage he could see nothing untoward was happeneing.

Richie si fully aware of the factl that there mu ct be no pressure on the tear adn ther eis no0ne.

Tonl could see nothing kthat might be causing presspure ont eharea and stopping the tear from healing.

Phew! we were all relieved it was over when it was, Ton went off to the RCA with photos to show the doctors.

Quite lieky Dr Smit will come with him next week, so two menw ill eb coming yb to loook at my tiny wound.

For now I can relax knowing Richie does it all excellently.

It's My Birthday

Wassily Kandinsky

The sun is shining and the sky is blue and I have already had online birthday cards and greetings email and birthday greetings via Face Book.

The bell rang earlier; I thought it was the chemist dropping our deliveries to us.

It turned out to be flowers from Gareth and Paul in Wales, a lovely bunch of roses and lilies and other pretty flowers.

What a gorgeous surprise for me, one that totally got me, wow can't stop saying that every time I look over at the flowers.

The bell rang again and it was a second bunch of flowers from another friend in Wales Cari and her son Zebe.

And then another friend, who; lives local came by also with flowers, 5 small roses in pots and a bunch of willow branches.

Wonderful plus some more emails and e-cards and phone calls from dear friends.

Think that I shall stop here and find some pictures and post this and then I can have a nice shower and enjoy my day.

It is my Birthday today and I am going to enjoy it to the max
.

Happy Days are here again.
