Early birthday blooms

(Note the drought-stricken brown lawn)

A visit from M this morning, bearing flowers for both mum and I. The plan was to take the patients out for a cuppa but neither of them felt up to it, so instead we had a cuppa in the garden in the sunshine. M primarily came to spend some time with mum, but I did manage to rope him into a couple of gardening jobs. 

Sadly M’s mum is also unwell so he couldn’t stay the weekend as planned, and had to leave at lunchtime to visit her. His visit was promptly followed by a visit from mum’s GP (mixed news), an afternoon of chores, and now waiting for the second nurse of the day. Been awake since 5, feeling real crook, as they’d say on Neighbours.

Thank you so much for all the kind stars and hearts for yesterday’s hairy fly.
