Friday

There is an old Proverb that I like to keep in mind. It goes "if you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans".

Tomorrow, Friday, Sean, his sister and I are due to go to Farm St in London to hear Scott Hahn. We had to get tickets months ago so we have 'made plans'. However, Trissa's daughter is ill and needing help with her children. Winter has arrived with a vengeance with black ice, sleet and very cold temperatures.
I have had to stay in bed this week after a couple of weeks of having bronchitis. I think the antibiotics affected the protective flora in my gut because my tum has been awful all week. My legs are like jelly and I get weak and dizzy when I get up.

I'm really hoping to go, because he has a keen mind and his writing is plain, simple and profound, which is an exceedingly rare combination. His fascinating personal story can be found here.

Being in bed this week hasn't been as irritating as usual because i have needed to catch up on sleep I missed out on when I had bronchitis. Over the last day or two, I've been playing with my Art program and I'll post a picture. Also a couple of Wendy having a lot of fun and looking like an absolute ragamuffin!

A ragamuffin. But a HAPPY ragamuffin

She can operate the DVD machine a lot better than her Granny can. A particular favourite at the moment is Thomas the Tank Engine. She has been able to do it for ages. DVDs are no problem, but videos can be a headache. She loves Letterland and can recognise the letters in signs around town. They are only on Video. Kate and Nigel's video machine broke and the don't make them any more so Michele gave them her machine, which also reached the end of its natural lifespan. I have a machine that still works, but there is no knowing for how much longer. Anyway, I was going to say that for at least a year now, she has been able to look at a plain black video with a standard white sticker with standard black writing and know exactly which video it is.

Dolly had several books read to her. When she was tired, Wendy rocked Dolly and sang Tula Tula Baba to her.

Then Wendy was bathed, de-ragamuffined and given a carrot bedtime snack
