Isn't it nice to have some sunshine again? Hubby and I took full advantage of the gorgeous weather on Saturday and finally gave our lawn its first haircut of the year! What a job! The grass was dry as a bone on top but wet as a puddle underneath and the flymo did not like it one little bit! Still perseverence won out and all day yesterday I kept looking out of the French Windows and admiring the garden. Neither Hubby nor I are particularly green-fingered but we do like the garden to look presentable. The plan is to tackle the front lawn and hedge if the weather is with us this weekend, so fingers crossed.
How was your Easter? Hubby bought me a plain chocolate Thorntons egg and I bought him a box of Ferero Rocher (I think I have spelt that wrong - the ambassador would not be amused). It is the first time we have ever, ever, ever bought each other chocolate at Easter. I don't know what came over us. My chocolate egg lasted the whole Easter weekend. Hubby still has four of his Ferero Rocher left and last night boldly sacrificed those to me when I realised I had no chocolate in the house (that is a disaster believe me). But I valiantly held off. As a reward I shall treat myself to a big bar of Bournville Plain later today.
I went for my pre-assessment at the hospital last Wednesday. Operation Kneecap goes ahead on Thursday 14 May. I am not particularly looking forward to it but it will be such a relief when it has all healed up and I can walk normally again and not wake up in pain-racked misery at one in the morning. The knee has been especially troublesome since last Tuesday when I made the mistake of running for a tram. Something popped and the pain was excruciating. I will never run for a tram again - even after the knee has been fixed.
Anything else? Oh yeah - the local interest book project is gaining momentum. The two primary local papers have run a couple of articles about it and appealed to the readers for stories and anecdotes for possible inclusion. Apparently, a big story is due out in the Advertiser this weekend and I have another meeting planned for this Thursday about it. I am trying to get some quotes for print but the three printing companies I have had a response from have come back as much too expensive - so if you are reading this, and know someone in the print trade who is fairly local to Croydon, please pass on my contact details ASAP.
Have a good Monday!
