Brrrrr... that's what we say! Cousin Bruce and the weather men said we were in for a couple of sunny days.. with pleasant weather coming up from Spain but instead.. well.. it looks as if 'that rain that stays mainly on the plain' is heading our way rather fast.
We are trying to be upbeat and happy-snappy here in our home but she is a bit low.. I wouldn't say depressed but she now realises that she has had 'something' not right with her eyes for a long time.. you know how sometimes you are not aware of something, until somebody points it out to you.
Well, she now realises that her eyes are dryer.. especially the left eye.. and she's annoyed with herself for not getting it checked out much sooner. Please everyone..get your eyes tested.. for vision and for Glaucoma and other unpleasant things.
So.. with blustery weather outside and absolutely no desire on her behalf to go 'out there', what are we doing.. well, I regret to say "not a lot".. there is masses to do here, ironing in particular! A heap of ironing but that will probably not be done today.
She's switched the water on and plans to do a scrub-a-dub-dub in YumYum HQ. I'll perch on top of the door and whistle encouragement if I see her flagging at any point.. in the meantime, we have had some very kind emails from MaryLou, Karen and Granny Jo about the diagnosis of the Glaucoma and a charming one from her French sister in law, Catherine, who lives in Paris.
She hasn't seen Catherine for nearly forty years, the last time she actually saw her was in 1978. Her brother, whose behaviour and morals were appalling, left this lovely woman and his son of less than five years to live with a ghastly woman.. who then left him in order to become the wife of a very famous (and rich) man.
But Catherine and she have remained in 'loose' contact and Catherine now has a grandson, this makes her a Great-Aunt five times!* How times flies, it seems only yesterday that Sebastian, her nephew, was born.. June 16th, 1973.
I know some people might be pedantic and say that Catherine is her ex-sister in law, but not in her book, for she's Sebastian's mother and will, therefore, always be part of her tribe, the same goes for Gilly, who was married to her other brother. They, too, are long since divorced but as Gilly gave her two nieces, Edwina and Zoe, she will always be part of her small tribe.
Ok.. the water should be hot enough to scrub with by now.. we wish you a pleasant day wherever you are and whatever time it is.. stay happy and healthy.
GeeGee Parrot.
