Illness strikes

I seem to have a cold with heavy viral influence. I'm going to have a home day today except for one trip to the Acupuncturist. I have been visiting her every three weeks and she has done a power of good with my arthritic knee joint. She also made diet and exercise suggestions - the usual less fat and more walk. Went to the book club last night but I wasn't well enough to enjoy it.

The Ballerina

Chloe danced in her ballet school production. I went with camera. I took pictures - small sample below. It was a wonderful show and she was excellent. I hadn't seen her for some time in full flower and up en pointe. What a beauty. She and her friends are off to Paris today for a three day holiday sans parents!

Brighton

I went down to Brighton on Friday to see the baby who is now almost three weeks old and to do some family bonding. I picked Harry up from his nursery school and we went home together to see the little brother. Harry is doing very well with the interloper. See picture below for a big brother kiss. After tea, we put the boys to bed and had a delicious supper and a bottle of wine. We topped off the fun with a double bill of Corrie. I did my Grandma bit this morning and got up at six to spend quality time with Harry.

The baby arrived this morning by C-section. Mother and son doing well. He weighed 7 lbs. I've been with Harry today so have not yet seen the new prince. I'll go tomorrow with camera and re-post. Alison has taken two pictures with her iphone and posted them on Facebook - Alison Williams

January

We are almost finished with January. It has been a good month for me. My self improvement projects include
-continuing with meditation course
-acupuncture
-talk therapy - finished for the time being
-regular walking
-food intake reduction otherwise known as diet
-gardening
-SAD lamp

I decided I was fed up with being depressed so I would pull out all the stops for self help. Of course it is not a controlled trial but I'm not a scientist. So far my mix 'em up method is working and that's all that matters.
