May 2025 be good to us all.
Over the last few days I got mail, thank you, @venetia_sassy -- your card was brilliant and made me smile a lot, @sylvaine, a card complete with tea, thank you! and @pushkin666, such a lovely message. Thank you all ♥
I was in bed well before midnight last night, but did wake up just before 12 so got to see the fireworks both on the TV and out of the window. Then went back to sleep, which was just fine by me.
Today I've taken all the decorations down, and put them away so everything looks tidy again. Helped by the fact that yesterday, we did a serious declutter of the huge walk in hall cupboard, so all the decoration boxes could go in there instead of the bedrooms. I've now got a tip slot booked for Saturday for the bags of rubbish, and at the same time will drop off a load of donations to the tip shop.
Tomorrow is a busy day as James has got an appointment with his doctor at 9, then I have a lymphoedema appointment at 11 and then James has a physio appointment at the hospital at 2, all of them in different places. The first doctor appointment is to discuss a letter from the doctor stating James will need a longer than usual phased return. He had a long term sick telephone meeting with a more senior level manager on Monday and together they've decided he'll go back in the last week of this month, which gives him time to build up strength in his arm again. And before his pay will drop to half, which wouldn't be good in the slightest. But he seems happy at that timeline, just needs the first month or so to be slow.
Also on Monday we did a bit of Bodhisitting, and went to weight management class. You may remember Rosie asked if people wanted to attend as the other two locations wouldn't be running and people said yes. Well, when we first arrived I couldn't see anyone else and thought we'd have her sole attention, but in the end two other ladies arrived too and it was a good class. We had a new bit of kit to try, though I'm not sure what it's real name is. It's the pole that you can attach weights on either side, but ours didn't have those. It did weigh 9kg, though, which sounds nothing until you've done a few circuits including overhead presses.
Gladiators celeb special is on tonight, but sadly I'll have to wait to watch as it's something I watch with James and he's off out to watch Sunderland play with my brother. This match, man. It's been a hassle. They originally wanted to go on boxing day, then realised Sunderland were playing away. So booked for this match, and then realised it's a 8pm kickoff. Add in we're under a weather warning for wind and ice, I suspect they're both wishing they hadn't booked. Not that they've said, and I'm sure they'll have a good, if a bit cold, time.
As for me. I plan on a long bath and then some tv watching under my heated throw.
