2 weeks to the day

Well  can you believe it.. this is the anniversary date , second week, since the deed.  Got up this morning determined to make own breakfast .. after having been brought a very hot cup of tea.

The nurse comes today to make the decision to remove the staples.  I imagine that this will provide some relief from that itchy feeling which I know heralds healing.

The adults went out to dinner last night and the children more or less put themselves to bed ,  one of the twins really would love to stay up much later than the other so after much cajoling I said .. one, two.. and then thought to myself.. what happens at the count of three…
so I asked her..
she giggled.. I said..maybe I should poke you with my canes.. she giggled even more.. and finally after lots of hugs to dog and grandma.. drinks of water.. more hugs and more kisses.. to bed.

Watching british tv.. this family has a satellite connection to BBC  and ITV and a few other stations.  On the whole the TV in the evening is not too bad.  But, of course, one of my favourite competitions is Master Chef.  This is not a cooking show.

Like so many tv shows these days they use the general public to entertain the public… university challenge.. horribly difficult questions put to a team of 4 from two separate colleges or universities..
Stricktly come dancing… pairs of men and women, each paired off with a professional dancer compete within strict rules over a period of several months.. after the judges of have spoken you phone in to a certain number to support the couple of your choice.  EVentually the 10 couples are reduced to 2 and a dance off happens… this will be just  before xmas.

Anyhow.. all those famous shows we see on PBS are thin on the ground.

etc.
