Hello V, thanks for checking in. Yes, a couple of GAL activities for me this weekend. I went to a calligraphy workshop all day Saturday. Really enjoyed that. Yesterday was a big 'catch up on jobs' day - did 3 loads of washing, cleaned out the car etc.

I also went to see my Mum, who had dementia and is in respite care this week, whilst Dad is away for a break. She is always very pleased to see me. Her whole face lights up and she grabs a hold of me. Yesterday, she was sitting next to a lovely lady called Evelyn. I say she's lovely, because she said to me 'you're beautiful, you are.' Very nice, because I truly wasn't looking my best. I said "thank you very much" to her, and she said "don't thank me, I'm just being honest with you." Gave me a bit of a boost...

Sunday nights I go to Aqua Aerobics, which is good fun. All ladies, and we gallop around the pool using big foamy objects for various things. All very undignified, but good for a laugh. Working from home this morning, and volunteering at the charity bookstore later. Today I get to cash up! V - the end of the month is just around the corner now....just a few more days, and then will you get to take a little time off??
