Hello there. First off, I thought I'd show you how lovely it is to get baby snuggles. Claire took this one the other day when baby Alex came to visit. He is SO snuggly, and seemed very content on my (ample) chest. Bless him!
He's still a bit jaundiced and he was a bit blotchy that day, but then the poor wee soul had just had a couple of days in hospital on an antibiotic drip! Just a precaution, but not something a new mum wants to go through. He's fine though, thankfully. I'm taking pictures of him later and I can. not. wait.
When I went to London for my hospital tests I took some iPhone pics, just because. These are straight out of the camera, so they might not be brilliant quality.
First, a reminder of where we were:
I think it was quite strange and emotional for Claire, because the family were up visiting me almost every day for a month, and it was her first time back there since it all happened. Across the square from where the tests were is the main part of the hospital where I was admitted, although I was at the back in a modern block:
During the lunch hour, we went for a short walk to get Starbucks, and I just love the old streets around there. By this point it was getting rather grey and dreary, which is a shame.
Anyway, that was our little jaunt. Tiring, but a change from the usual.
Oh, and how could I forget? The other day Claire, who had a week off, decided she was going to bring me French toast for breakfast in bed. How's that for service??! I love that girl very very much!!
Well, it's getting late. I only came on the computer to send a few photos of the Community Centre AGM to the coordinator as she needs them for publication in the local paper! Claire is very proud that her old mum is is going to be a "published photographer" as it were, hehe.
Just before I go, I'm sending healing vibes to various friends and family who are going through difficult times at the moment. If nothing else, my little scrape earlier this year taught me that life is precious and that good health is not something to be taken for granted. Big hugs to any of you who need them, from me, with love xxx
