can’t be bothered to write it all again!
went to little nanny’s. she has a brave face and her neighbour very helpful. the cancer seems to be growing [secondary on breast bone] reasonably noticeably now. She says it doesn’t hurt and she is in her 80′s. I hate intimations of mortality. However, am from a strong line of very stubborn women, so we will see how stubborn she manages to be – hopefully very.
SB and BB gorgeous there, on best behaviour both of them, and a credit. Suitably rewarded with sweeties and icecream by adoring great nanny! They all played games. SB impressed by making 4 letter words on the upwords board. BB reolsutely accumulated all the remaining tiles and then carpeted the board with them. Slightly less succesful game of 3D snakes and ladders [still a favourite tammy] as BB insists no hipping all the balls to put down the long slide.
We raced back to go to swimming, ostensibly for me to watch at SB’s insistance, but it was a closed lesson! SO twiddled thumbs. We were rather slow in getting dressed afterwards, and the mums of the next class must have thought me crazy to take 30 mins! no, just blessed with time for a change.
Chris had cooked a lovely kidney bean and sausage hotpot for us to enjoy, and then we enjoyed the first bit of the trials of life – lots and lots of eggs and sperm!! SB asked lots of questions, clarified lots of words, but did not extrapolate any of this [well, at least verbally] to humans. I am a wuss, and was relieved!
oh, and the cake, we didn’t start it, so Nanny gets to eat it all. It smelled gorgeous though. i will? make one for Melrose!
Oh, I hope I don’t ahve to wait until Melrose….
