Morning Ladies Well, the cake is marzipaned, and iced and decorated. We all did it to-gether, I must say my knee was not very helpful and really put me through it when I tried entusiastically to do lots of little finishing touches, and brushing the cake with the jam in the begining. Its not the traditional apricot jam, did not have any, so substutited it for black cherry jam. Hopefully it will be so full of brandy no one is going to notice, if they do I will just say its the latest thing
I am not sure how long Kim will be coming, her last day is Monday this side of Christmas as Bill will be home so I won't need help. However I have got her coming back on the 20th January which will be the first day after we get back from the Lake. Hopefully she will be coming for a little while after that. It is until I can really manage the housework and Jasmine on my own I think. Once Jasmine goes back to school the hours will go back to one thirty to four thirty. I will take as long as A.C.C. will give me I go back to see the specialist again on 18th February, then it will be three months from the date of the operation. Meanwhile I have to keep up the physio The physio suggested that whilst I am away I should go into the hot pooles up there and walk a few lengths of the poole and then walk backwards for exercise, so I will try that. Must remember to take my bathing costume.
I echo Red, Tigs, You are so clever with your Christmas cards they are beautiful, and to be able to make hand made ones, it makes them so special.
Oh Red, that poor friend of yours whose husband is in Japan, How dare he just call from Japan and break the news, the coward. Still no good will come for him in the end, or the woman involved, you can't find happiness on another womens tears.
This is the third one I have heard of in the space of a week. A friend up in Auckland, the husband told her he was moving out on Saturday, to-day here, and he has, no explanation. Then I was told this afternoon by my friend Leo that her friends husband has just walked out on her with a friend of hers. They have a business together, which makes it difficult, and he has cleaned out the joint bank account prior to telling her his news, and it would appear that the women is pregnant and will be having his baby in the new year. So very sad all round.
I went into town this afternoon, and Leo did my nails, I must say I do feel better for having them done, it gave me a lift. Bill just drove us in and looked after Jasmine whilst I had a good natter and nail "do" then we just drove home.
I had the name of three eyeshadows to get, mine being circles with a hole in the middle now, and could only get one that I wanted, the other two discontinued. So what with the lipstick and now the eye shadows I am fed up I just hate having to choose something else, I always make a mistake. One time a group of us used to meet up for coffee and once a month put our "mistakes" in the middle of the table and we would swop and try someone
else's mistakes, it was very good and I found a few things that I liked but would never have tried otherwise.
I hope you read the "note" from farmeress that she put on my face book wishing you well Red and Tigs, I put it on the end of yesterdays post.
Well I have got a digital cameral, but allready it looks complicated, Bill had to buy a special extra "thing" which all these type of camera's need. He choose a pink one for me. Oh well I do have three weeks holiday coming up, I should have enough family around to show me how to work it. I am just not mechanically minded. I find it all very difficult to learn. Other things I get very quickly but anything mechanical I am hopeless.
Hope all is well with you Yvette
Enjoy your day ladies
