Home Soon

This is the last day of my holiday, and did not even get to the beach, we were too busy in the garden. Would not have been able to these last few days, because at the weekend, I slipped over coming down the slope in the back yard and have torn the ligament on the inside of my knee and ended up at the hospital 5am the next day when the pain became excrutiating. So I am now carting around a "friend" in the form of a big black brace on my leg which I will have for 6 weeks.

Am leaving early tomorrow, Thursday by train to the city, then catching the 4pm bus which arrives home at 7pm. it will be great to be home again and able to walk outside without having a bunch of keys in hand to unlatch every door to the outside. ....one of he benefits of living in the country is the freeedom and the safety. May not have all the fancy shops but one appreciates the important benefits.....and then there is the noise.....we have the noise of the birds to wake us and not traffic.

while in the city, will be meeting up with my best friend from my teenage years for lunch. We both moved away from home to marry, so in 50 years, we have only seen each other fleetingly twice and only recently found each other.... we are each going to be looking for "a fat lady with white hair and glasses" and the only difference what we will be wearing....a bit of a change from the slim girls with the tiny waists we were then.

Will make sure I get someone to take a photo of us together. The last photo we had taken was at Cloudland where we went dancing when we were about 19.
