Well I had a few things planned for this weekend ... but our daughter decided to act up at the beginning of the week, which meant Hedgewolf was not prepared to take her to Wrexham..... Grrrr.....
I'm missing out on a gig that I had planned to go to tonight .. grrr. .....
I'm also missing out on a dinner date tonight with some friends...... grr ... although to be fair to the daughter, that's not her fault, my friend remembered on Wednesday that him and his partner are going to a christening tomorrow and would have to travel there today.
Daughter and I are getting on quite well for a change, my parents sent her some spending cash and she and I did a raid on the charity shops this morning and she also bought me lunch - albeit a veggie pasty from Greggs - but it was lovely and she did put a lot of thought into it.
Oh how I look forward to passing my driving test - then perhaps my knee wouldn't hurt from having had to climb a very steep hill to get to town today. Still haven't figured out how the buses work round here yet. We've only been here 10 months!
Have just 'dyed' my daughter's hair - well kind of - she is determined that she wants to change her hair colour (just like her Mum!) and so she bought a couple of sachets of Shaders & Toners from Superdrug and we have coloured her hair a more subtle shade of reddish blonde ( she has beautiful red/auburn hair normally), the other sachet is a dark brown, which I am reluctant to use on her but she bought it and I'd rather it was a wash in wash out, than a full on chemical colouring. She is constantly under peer pressure to 'get rid' of her 'ginger' hair, although everyone else says how beautiful it is and I agree - I must have spent a fortune over the last 25 years trying to achieve her glorious colour.
Today I had a call from a friend, he and his girlfriend took over the house Hedgewolf & I used to manage when we were House Parents/Foster Carers. He is recovering from viral Meningitis and has been incredibly unwell, at one point his brain was so swollen that he lost his sight and balance and it is only now that it is returning, it has really upset him because he had to hand in his bike and car licence and will not be able to ride or drive until his sight and balance return to normal, he hopes that the medics will allow him to start driving after his next brain scan.
He and his girlfriend are expecting a child in 8 weeks time and she is now so big that she can barely fit behind the wheel of the car. They will be horribly stuck if he doesn't get his licence back before the baby is born.
So it's now even more imperative that I pass my test on July 6th, so that if they do get stuck at least they will have a few people they can call on with a vehicle.
No pressure!!
Weather wise - well it seems like March and April decided to show up, we have strong winds and April showers and it's the middle of bloody May!
Oh! Who said there's no such thing as global warming?? I'm expecting snow on my birthday in August!
Only a month till my cousin arrives from Australia - have advised her to pack lots of warm clothes - just in case!
