Well, here I am another year older and I think I'm a little bit wiser. Just did a quiet dinner at home with my family. Older boys gave their mother the night off cooking and rolled up the driveway with a backseat full of takeaways....lol. Which is ironic, because their mother had to cook her own birthday dinner mainly because we're all bloody hopeless and can never remember when her birthday is......shocking but true....I only remembered when her sisters phoned to wish her a happy birthday and she had already left for work....duh. She of course has become used to us not remembering and didn't expect anything less....lol. So as she does, she had her birthday dinner all sussed, went and got her groceries after work, came home cooked her dinner, sat in front of the tv and told us there was plenty of cheese and bread in the cupboard for our dinner....SO toasted sandwhiches it was. She did share her pudding with us though, lol.
How am I? I doing ok. Alot less mobile then I was at my last posting, not able to shower myself anymore, not as independent as I would like to be anymore, can still feed myself but with difficulty. On the upside, I'm still talking and eating well so things aren't too bad really. Managed to make it through the cold winter without any major dramas so all in all I'd say its been a pretty good year.
Thanks to everyone for your messages, as you've probably guessed I'm pretty hopeless when it comes to replying but I do read them and I appreciate all of your thoughts and good wishes. Until next time, take care everybody.
Bill
