Well I have been very remiss and not written anything on here since just after christmas so I thought that I had better attempt something.
In my defence, not a lot has happened that was worth writing about. I had an op on my hand to straighten out my bent finger and as a consequence, I had to give up my keyboard lessons for a while until my hand heals.
AS they say, I may never play the piano again but then as I couldn't play it before then it is no big loss.
They even flew me down to Aberdeen after the op to have radio therapy on my hand in an attempt to stop any regrowth. We will have to wait and see if it does any good.
We have just got back earlier today from a quick trip down south to pick up a new car. When I say a new car, I mean a car that is new to us, not a really new car.
I am very impressed with it though. It is an avensis estate and did 55mpg on the motorway at 75-85 mph and 60mpg off the motorway so it is even cheaper than the Yaris to run although no doubt Pam will be able to drop the fuel economy when she is driving it. There is also plenty of room in it for all my rubbish, so I will only have to clean it out every couple of years or so when it gets full.
The trip down also gave us a chance to see the kids and grandchildren again which was an unexpected bonus. We stayed with Babs in her new house and I apologise to her for making her sleep on the couch although she did volounteer so it was her fault really.
We do not pick Molly up from the kennels until tomorrow morning so as Pam is out tonight at a cake decorating class and there is no disobedient dog, it seems very quiet here.
For the next entry in the blog I will attempt to have something a little more interesting, even if I have to make it up.
