(40)

I can't believe I've reached 40 posts already. It's been such fun to write - much more fun that writing a diary ever was - and I've met so many kind and friendly people through blogging. It takes quite a bit of time, but since I wake at about 5.15 every morning I spend a happy hour or two reading through all the blogs and writing my own then.

Yesterday DH had to spend most of the day visiting hospital. His mother was taken in unexpectedly with heart problems. She has been unwell with various cancers over the last few years so we just have to wait for test results to see if it's rearing its ugly head again. She has had several operations and now is unable to walk, but has never been anything other than cheerful and gritty, so I just hope that she improves soon. DH ended up driving his father to the hospital since his car was out of action, and he stayed with him whilst all the tests were done. There wasn't much point me going with him today, but will go with him to visit next week.

I ended up watching a film in the afternoon!! Most unusual for me to watch television during the day, but I was fidgety and couldn't settle. I did do some embroidery while watching though. The film was 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes' which I have never seen. So dated, but Marilyn Monroe was electric. Poor Jane Russell, she didn't stand a chance when she was on screen with Marilyn. 

I finished my little primitive embroidery and got it 'framed'; I'm really pleased with it and think it will look good with the other two when I get them done. I didn't touch my black and white quilt, but will make an effort today. I was going to cut the corners out, so that it hangs on the bed better, but think that will be a bridge too far, so will just finish the quilting, get it bound and washed on ON THE BED!! Then I can think about my next big project.
