Drug advice

Happy to give drug advice to friend in London concerning antibiotics and also amitriptyline. And to another friend - topical hydrocortisone and betnovate. Really grateful about spending time with a friend in South Wales - somewhere I’ve never been before - beautiful waterfall visited where you could go behind the flow and look out on the world without anyone seeing you - downside it was cold and wet. Also met up with niece in Wales and had wine for lunch - great to catch up as haven’t seen her for nearly two years - she has a boyfriend of nearly two years and her parents haven’t met him yet !!

Tidying

I seem to have been doing a lot of tidying jobs recently which is very rewarding - so I tidied all my wild water swimming gear by putting it all in a clear plastic box - did the same with all my walking up hills in awful weather gear. Now I have to tidy up the boxes that I have filled. Have been tidying my garden and also daughters garden and now in Wales with a friend tidying her dads garden!!! Went to the bank with younger daughter and finally got her banking app working on her phone - only taken a year - I think she was pleased that  I went with her to the local bank. Stayed a night at my friends old house which was fun while she’s starting new life in Ireland  - it’s great to feel useful. Really pleased with myself that I made a Sunday roast dinner for five people - a friend and her sister/ husband joined me and my daughter. Really grateful that I am using up the lamb that I got from a local farmer friend.

Drifting

The Drift Cafe is open - pizzas, coffees, old bus - looks good and everyone there very friendly - grateful to have some really good cafes around my area. Really pleased that younger daughter has taken up sewing like her older sister- they both now have sewing machines and watch the Seeing Bee !! I already have a sewed phone “case” as a pressie. Younger daughter has also given me access to her Disney plus account which I’m happy about - watched Lion, Witch and Wardrobe plus Ratatouille - plenty more to go!! Listened to a two hour podcast by Amal Hassan about her early life in Somalia and the Yemen before coming to England and getting to final of Master Chef - so chuffed that she has agreed to cook for my extended family after lockdown. Love gardening at the moment just a little bit at the time but also sitting in the garden listening and looking.
