The very last roses in the garden!!

Well not quite, there are some tiny buds which I'm sure will not open. These will probably wilt quickly with the central heating.

I should have been having afternoon tea with friends at Fortnum and Mason in London today, but emailed them last week to cancel. A big disappointment for all of us as we had so much news to share.

I was a wimp and didn't start the new tablets until this morning, in case of side effects. They seem to be helping with the pain, but do make me sleepy. I didn't get up until 9.30am but still needed a couple of 1hr naps during the day.

The list was started with just a few things, which I have done sitting at the computer.
