Family

Brother coming to stay for the weekend and really pleased he can take me to urology appointment on Monday. Grateful for only spending five minutes in fracture clinic for youngest daughter - normally it’s about one hour - must try and make sure we get evening appointments - it’s deserted then!! My Armenian alphabet books have arrived - let’s get stuck in. Friend came round and did another two hours gardening - win win as I pay him as he is unemployed at the moment and garden desperately needs a tidy up before winter. A lovely friend has offered me some books to have and to lend - get reading !!

Daughter

Great to have youngest daughter back home for a night- has takeaway together (so good that they deliver) - she was too tired to stay up for a film together. After having a bad morning on her placement at a toddlers day care centre, she said she had a brilliant afternoon (answer to one of my prayers). So good to have recorded TV - watched two Mazerunner films. Pleased to have got date today for biopsy results and even more pleased that I have actually lost too much weight since being laid flat for about four weeks (3lb loss only even though I feel thin).

Houseplants

Looked at my houseplants and even though autumn has set in some are still flowering - they look good. Have started learning Armenian as going to Armenia May next year - determined to learn at least one word a day - so grateful can look on internet while my books are being delivered - my first word is ayo (=yes) - I’m gonna go far.

Driving

Managed to do a bit of driving which is good to co-op for a shop and then filling car with petrol. Really glad I’ve got a small car for parking etc. Also managed to drive to church and a few people prayed for my health (so kind of them). Got an invite to dinner with Head of Manufacturing work colleague and his wife and also an invite to a surprising 60th birthday in December which unfortunately I cannot make. Pleased to have good online conversation with friend.

Contribution

Friend online said something like “you have a contribution to make” which uplifted me so much. Got up early to watch England lose to South Africa but still pleased that I got up early! Managed to go to pub with band friends and stayed for three hours! Have decided to start something new - learn Armenian (going there next year) do really pleased that amazon has a selection of potentially useful books

Computers

My IT man came round day after I reported problem with printer - had a great chat about life’s ups and downs and he solved it - the computer that is not life. Great chats with two daughters - eldest daughter I think is now debt free and youngest daughter has started a finance management book!! Rugby and good remote chat with friend kept me going for the evening - friend is going tablet free - grateful I can pray remotely for her.

Multigrain cereal

Started having supper before going to bed - Thankyou Kellogg’s for rice crispie multigrain shapes - crunch crunch. Met up for lunch with friend hadn’t been in contact for a while - good chat about work and things. Chatting on what’s app video more and more with eldest daughter which is great even though she has major financial problems to sort. Very grateful for lovely friend who is supporting me remotely while I’m incapacitated with health problems.
