Hi everyone, just thought I'd let you all know how I am
doing. My brother Jon and family have been visiting from Australia, they've now
gone back. I only see them once a year and I treasure any time I get to spend
with them but my current health had quite an impact on the visit this time. I
just wasn't able to be up and about to spend as much time with my gorgeous two
nephews as I would have liked. All the time spent unwell in bed, too poorly to
be up or having to rest, was disappointing and a reminder of how much things
have changed. A short trip to the local park round the corner with the boys and
my lovely assistance dog Otto was managed only twice and that took it out of me,
but was well worth it. It's a far cry from their visit last year when I was
able to go out with them every day and took the boys bowling, to Adventure
Island, visited parks and the woods, indoor play centres, etc. But the boys
were fantastic and it was a joy to watch them playing games, making puppets etc,
still quality time :)
