Hello and welcome to yet another Friday post on this subject: we are now eleven weeks into this nightmare!

Yes, Lovely Husband and I are still stuck upstairs in bed together. He is making slow progress in getting himself stronger, but is also becoming very miserable about the situation, understandably. I am trundling on in the same way that I have been: I can manage the stairs carrying trays of food and drinks a few times each day, I can try to keep things tidy and organised downstairs, and I am able to contact the outside world using my iPad and mobile phone.

Unfortunately, both of our sons are currently going through their own issues, and they need some support from us. I had to force myself to go out of the house to be with Elder Son for an appointment, which was extremely taxing, but absolutely necessary. Times are indeed very hard!

Could we please see some glimmerings of light at the end of the tunnel?

OK, that’s the end of the grim part of the post!

Now for something completely different, as they used to say on Blue Peter when I was a child and on Monty Python’s Flying Circus when I wasn’t…

I am very pleased to be able to report that I purchased a new iPad this week! Whoop! My older one is still working, so I have passed it over to LH who is doing really well learning to use it to access his own interests. At the very least, we have the means to keep ourselves amused, entertained, busy and connected.

Oh, and this is the dress that I wore when I went out this week. I bought it from Marks and Spencer last year and it is so comfortable in warm weather:

Now, I had better find some opportunities to wear my other Summer clothes!

Happy Weekend to you all.

Love and best wishes,

Anne
