Throwback

Afternoon tea with the girls and we were discussing if this year was S's BIG birthday.  L recalled her last BIG birthday in 2015 so maybe one more year to go?  The company and chat was a good distraction but the cake not really to my taste - too much frosted cream stuff on top.  Fussy moi?!

The morning was less fun - S&L therapist visit - I didn't particularly warm to her and she was a bit old fashioned although probably my age from my reconning?  No.1 struggled a bit and it left her demoralised.  OH took her out for lunch and a walk around a NT property and her spirits were lifted when JC came home from the office.  He is amazing with her and so positive and encouraging.    I had a bit of a 'moment' and called Macmillan helpline for a chat - but more blubbing than chatting but felt better afterwards and meant that I could go for tea with the girls without feeling overwhelmed.

I did ham and cheese parcels (left over ham from yesterday) for dinner but the flakey pastry (shop bought) was a bit too warm and would'nt roll but they turned out ok albeit a bit of a faff.  

Day done - no tears tomorrow but onward and upward again.
