turpsUnlike the last time I posted, things are going well. Mam is so much better it's hard to believe she was so sick. Her GP referred her to a new hospital doctor who's starting a new series of tests, scans etc. On the one hand, more tests. But on the other, hopefully some answers as he suspects her lupus may be contributing to her problems swallowing. So if she can get some weight back on that should help her overall health.
Other good things. We've booked a holiday for the beginning of June. We're going to Puerto Rico -- the one in the Canary islands as I've just realised there's actually two -- for a week, self catering in the apartments Kayleigh has just came back from. She loved it there, said it was chilled out, had a good pool and overlooked the beach, plus, while hilly behind the hotels the promenades are flat, meaning James can get around easier.
I still can't believe we're flying somewhere for a week and until I'm actually on that flight will still be worrying about not fitting in the seat and having to buy two. Seriously, if you looked at my Google history it's all looking at insides of Thompson planes, seat dimensions etc. The holiday company have arranged for James to be helped onto the flight, though lack of seat choices mean while we're very near the front, we're sitting behind each other in the aisle seats. It was either that or a window and middle seat, and while I'd have liked the window seat, James needs an aisle to stretch his legs a bit.
Sadly it means I can't go to Camp Sparkle this year, as I just don't have the money for both :(
More good. We went to see Matilda at the theatre and enjoyed it. see, 3 photos, scroll to see all.. We had stalls seats and a great view. It was the first big touring production we'd seen there, and the place was packed. I also got to wear one of my new dresses. I do like it a lot but sadly it's a bit dressy for everyday wear.
We have tickets to see Deadpool 2 in the reclining seats cinema Tuesday coming. I'm looking forward to that a lot.
Last good thing. I get to seetara tomorrow \o/

Glad also you had fun at Matilda -- and that dress is gorgeous on you!

Date: 2018-05-14 06:00 am (UTC)I'll miss you all so much, but no matter how much I checked figures two trips weren't going to happen. But yes, sunshine. Hopefully, I don't come back burnt to a crisp. I've started to buy factor 50 suncream, but need more.
Thank you!

Date: 2018-05-14 08:53 pm (UTC)I totally thought you meant the one in the Caribbean :-) The one in the Canaries sounds like a very nice place for your first "real" holiday trip. I've never been to the islands myself but my mother and sister have both been there several times and really like it. I hope you will have an absolutely lovely time! And that you'll have a good flight too. (In my experience the only exciting thing about flying is take-off and landing, in between it's just boring and too full of other people :-)
You better come to Camp next year, is all I'm saying!
You're looking so pretty in your new dress!
I hope you and Tara had lots of fun!

Date: 2018-05-15 07:13 am (UTC)It was your email that prompted me to Google GC, and find out there are actually two. I knew I was going to the one in the Canary Islands, but ended up in this brain blip when I was Googling 'are the Canary Islands in the Caribbean' etc. Though it does explain why some of the Trip Advisor reports I'd been reading had been mentioning hurricanes. Sometimes I'm not the brightest bulb.
I really hope I do get to Camp, and for the full week.
Thank you! We had an excellent day. Lots of walking at the seaside, and great company of course.
