Before going in...

Due to the consultant being on holiday and events that have been in my diary for a long time and more importantly I wanted to attend.  The date for the operation is set for the 2nd March.  With the date of this blog, not long to go now.  Before going into hospital I had to arrange work - take a weeks leave or loose it, see my nephew, have lunch with friends and party with my best friend for her 40th Birthday.


Here is a picture from the celebrations.  I am far left, Kate and Martin are in the middle and are now 40!! LOL!! Then Kate's mother and step father.  She presented us with flowers for helping organise the party.  All I did was supply the cake and help put up some of the decorations.

The party was great, an opportunity to talk to people we only see a couple of times a year.  We try to get together over the Christmas holidays and a camping trip in the summer.  I hope to go to the camping trip, not necessarily under canvas, but that could depend on treatment.

Here is the cake, before you not the obvious mistake, Kate is into crafts hence the artists palette and Martin is into steam trains and model railways.

After the party we then stayed with Kate and Martin, at the best B&B in Birmingham.  Well I would say that with her breathing down my neck as I write some of my blog entries.

On the way home we then had Sunday lunch with our nephew Aaron in Burton upon Trent, we were there with mum and dad as well.  Helen and Andrew are a great support and always up for a laugh.  This lunch was no different.

A good weekend was had by all!
