A couple of things have been happening over the last few weeks.
Daughter SAE had her tonsils out. She's 19. I took time off work to look after her, everyone from doctors, work collegues to friends told me that it was not going to be a good time for her....that it is quite painful as an adult to have this done.
Yep thats what I need a daughter who already is miserable when it comes to pain and has had 5 operations in her short life and is absolutely over having ops. She always vomits when coming out of the anesthetic that we were all worried about this due to it being her tonsils they would be removing and she would have a nice raw throat.
SAE got wheeled away and she looked so nervous and worried....my poor wee lamb :( She got wheeled back 2 hours later, doped up the gills with pain killers and drugs to stop her being ill. She just slept and slept. I went home. Back the next day to pick her up and take her back to my place to look after her for the next few days.
2 weeks it took for her to really come right. So much for the second week being a holiday...running round after her. Even our overnight stay in another town didnt work out when she had some bleeding from her throat. But when she tells me she is too old for me to be telling her to go to bed I knew it was time for her to go back to her flat as she was obviously up to looking after herself now.
And then something that is so wonderful and a joyous occassion made me rather sad. My wonderful older sister Chiefbiscuits son announced his wedding in 10 days time (last week that is). The wedding was yesterday. I looked at the logistics of going down but having just had two weeks off work and the cost of the trip to Dunedin costing more money than I care to disclose I made the call not to go. Then Friday morning arrived and I wished I was there. I almost just booked a ticket right then and there and bugger the cost...I would have liked to have been there.... but I look forward to October to the reception they have decided to have then.
Sigh....felt rather sentimental yesterday...I wonder if thats just age making you realise that sometimes you only get to see and do things only once and therefore you should go for it.
I have become far to sensible in my old age. It has to stop I say :)
Well the day is a wasting....we are off with camera's in hand to see what we can see :)
Then I have a webpage to start getting into again
Bye for now diary

First of all - those photos are magnificent! Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful - especially the bright gladioli - I just love it. I could write a poem about that flower.
Second of all - we missed you but please don't feel too sad, the reception / celebration in Oct will be great. We can even make the whole weekend a family reunion for our side of the family - after all L is turning fifty in August. And it is also the 39th anniversary of our father's death - believe it or not. I can see it could be an opportunity to make something memorable about the whole get-together.
You should listen to me more sweets ....Me being the far less sensible one :O)
You will enjoy the October reunion :O)
