Having done a fair bit of running around for others of late  I decided it was time to look  at my needs . So baked an apple cake - one daughter said " why mum? -full of sugar butter and flour".  Free from guilt  I sat  down with coffee and mags. and ate a large slice. This morning  I decided to see the Picasso exhibtion as it finishes in 3 days - so husband will drop me off andI'll walk around at my pace soaking it up .

Feels a bit strange- not used to doing things by myself unless it's going to the dentist.. I'm wondering what you have done or planning to do  just for your self in the next few hours?  Cate xx

My daughter and son-in-law took me out to lunch and I had a cuddle of my littlest grandchild - I had my hair cut REALLY SHORT!!! and I bought a flashing light for my walker - my kids will groan, but the older grandkids will just love it - just like they love the honka-hooter horn...

Sob!  Alas!  My lovely little flashing light, which is Astroboy, by the by - is magnetic - so I thought that it would stick to my walker - but it will not. 

So - I assume my walker is aluminium?  Or what?  Why is my metal walker not magnetic - and magnets don't stick to it?

I now have to re-think Astroboy - hmmm.  The best laid plans of meece and me....

 Oh dear , Jo . BooHoo

Now have you something that attracts magnets that you could wear ? I think wearing Astroboy sounds cool . I'm off to do something for myself now .. read paper, cut a slice of cake (this time carrot walnut ) and settle for a while and then do laundry ( maybe) Cate x
