I was made happy today with a fabulous 2hour lunch with an extremely handsome (nay, gorgeous) gentleman, a bottle of MontePulciano and a steak that was actually cooked to perfection - rare to medium - rather than the usual medium to well done boot leather usually presented.

But mostly the company.

You mean Jacqui has been lying to me about it? Even i can get one?

Spent the weekend running around and finally gardening, sort of. My neighbors took pity on me and helpd with raking up the soil, spreading this green fiberglass-like stuff with seeds in it and watering. Doesn't look like the picture on the box but...

Call from Micca last night - he is planning a formal dinner at my house in August. I love formal dinners as long as some one else cooks it especially in August.

my only concern - when Micca is through cooking, the litchen looks like a tornado hit. Small price to pay...

We went to the Colchester Oyster Fayre today and had a fantastic time walking round the market, watching sword fighting, archery and falconry. Got to catch up with lots of friends and had a lovely picnic by the duck pond. It was a tad muddy round the craft market but it didn't ruin the day.

Good one Liz!

We managed to pick up a brand new Portapotty for the trailer for $2 at a yard sale. If we'd bought it in a shop it would have cost close to $90. This was after getting a beautiful year old sofa bed at a yard sale yesterday for $50 - the sellers had changed the decor and this didn't match!

Just got back from a wonderful weekend in not so sunny Scarborough and spent some quality time with my Grandma. Harry had a fantastic time with his Great Grandma and her littl dog. Grandma gave me lots of photos including a copy of her wedding photo from 1955 so we can do a photo family tree for the children so that names have faces.

Our new sofa has been delivered....well picked up!

The sun is shining and it's a good day.

Well, it was really yesterday afternoon but...RidgePlucker and I went for a ride in the woods. He stopped to check out a fishing spot and I picked wild strawberries while thunder rumbled over a faraway hill. It didn't take long before the thunder was very near and we continued on our journey.

    Feeding freshly picked wild strawberries to my honey made me very happy!!! :)

Yesterday, I met with the Maine endocrinologist and wasn't sure where we going or what to expect.
All good news:
No cancer - he is quite sure. No more biospies - likely ever. My meds needed increasing so a blood test in six weeks and then in six months and then yearly. A far cry from biopsies twice a year and the stress of waiting for results. I was beginning to feel like a pincushion.
Eye tests also show no cataracts or glycoma.
So - today I allowed myself a day of complete rest - sci-fi, naps, and no phone.
Life is very good.

watching on TV late tonight
a cocky young UK boxing superstar
taking a sucker punch that could so nearly have ended his over-inflated
world title career aspirations
in a moment of arogant carelessness..

but then seeing him stand upright again and fight through
to win,
but with a sense that this sudden painful shock
might be the reality check he needs on the road to maturity
as a world class sportsman.

good luck Amir.

Last night actually, but we went on the Kent and East Sussex Railway and had a fantastic meal in a wonderful setting with excellent service. The train was made up of Pullman carriages pulled by a steam engine. Our carriage was originally built in 1926 and was stunning with gorgeous wood inlays and big comfy armchairs. The weather stayed dry and the sunset was gorgeous. A very romantic evening and setting.

Today...still moving into the new house. Smiles from my little one and snuggles from the cat!

As long as I can wake up, look out the window and see grass, I'm happy.

I figure that as long as I can see the grass, I must still be on the right side of it.
