PS. and what happened next!

Books.

I have managed to read 9 books in January, probably because I am awake at night, so I read. I can't say I had a favourite but the 'Sally Diamond' one sticks in my mind the most. Dh read it after me and said he was surprised I had read it, because I don't usually read books that make me feel uneasy especially at night. I don't sleep well in the best of times, so don't need anything that preys on my mind!

Sea Tragedy

After the 5:55pm phone call for the Coast guard, to report there was a woman who had gone into the sea, there was some talk that it might have been a hoax. There were three Life boats called out, plus the helicopter and police, so there was a lot of rescue agencies involved. There were messages on FB asking people to stop speculating to respect the family's feelings. That was 24th January, Sunday 27th it was reported that a body of a young woman had been washed up further along the coast, her name is being withheld, so a very sad time for her family.

Building

Both houses along the close from us are continuing their building work and this morning on our way out, we had to navigate around 6 vans and a lorry!! But it looks as though they might be finished by summer! Hurrah!

New Choir

We've now been to two sessions of our choir and it is super, just two 15mins sessions of learning, then singing what we know and then a singalong to a popular song I love it! This week the singalong was 'Something Inside so Strong' Dh and I sang out because we once belonged to a pop choir in Essex and so we know all the words.

100!

And ... here are my newest snowdrops flowering! YEH!

We planted these on 23rd January.

Hen night and after.

Two years after,  Ros and I were on a 4 day break visiting the Eden project and three other gardens in the West country. On the second day I was in the shower when Ros popped her head into the shower room to say, my phone was ringing. I thought it might be my son phoning, so I said to answer it.. It was a man! 

Yes it was Dh, he was phoning me, would you believe from the top of the Eifel tower, Paris. He was there as a parent helper for his twin daughter's school and had been given some free time. So I had to tell all and it all started from there really.. altho Ros and I had other breaks away and of course she came to our wedding.

Weight

So that's my January 2024. I did not lose 5 pounds but I didn't gain any weight, so that's ok. How was your January?

And my chair?

Best not talk about that!
