Worn down by all
your kind instructions, and by my sister who agrees with everything you say, I
think we are going to try to make a dr’s appt tomorrow. The current system
seems to be, if I understand the website correctly, that you ring up first
thing in the morning and arrange to speak to a dr on the telephone. He/she will
then make a face-to-face appt if deemed necessary. I think Helen is going to do
that tomorrow.
Meanwhile today
went pretty well. She and I got round the garden. The app says I’ve done 2087
steps – better than I expected. No more buckling of the knees. Cat-feeding
during my cruise has been arranged and I feel enormously cheered.
Still no knitting.
Rachel and Ed are
celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary. Phase One was an
assembly of the entire crew at a house they rented somewhere in Suffolk. Here
they are:
The little girls
in the front are each others’ sisters and cousins – I couldn’t begin to
distinguish them. This year’s crop of little girls – two more – are in their
mothers’ arms: Joe’s wife Becca towards the right, next to Rachel and Ed;
Thomas’s wife Lucy further to the left. Lizzie and Dan, on the far left, aren’t
married and have no children.
Phase Two will be
a trip north in October, just Rachel and Ed, not the whole troupe. I’ll get to
see them then. It’s been a long time.
So many girls - how wonderful! In my husband´s family there have been only boys for at least five generations, and now we have two sons and three grandsons, but at least two lovely daughters-in-law.
ReplyDeleteLots of girls! According to my grandmother, when many boys are born in a generation, it indicates upcoming war. So a good sign! Of course, since we humans are always fighting, can’t really think that particular superstition makes sense. Glad you are getting to the GP>
ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture of your extended family, Jean! Those generational photos are real heirlooms.
