Saturday 23 April - sorry for long gap between posts

Sorry there has been a long gap.  I have been fine.  It has mostly been blood tests this week apart from Wednesday when I had two units of blood because my haemoglobin count was below 90.  Being hooked up to a drip for 3 hours was rather tedious but Andrew did say I looked pinker the next day!  Also my haemoglobin count was up over 100 on Friday, so it worked.


In other news we went into London today to have lunch with no 3 daughter Rebecca and her boyfriend Matt at his new flat in Fulham.  He cooked a fabulous lamb shank recipe.  Amazingly it only took us two hours to get there and less time to get home.
I have also been gardening this week:
I have put in two rows of new potatoes in the veg plot in the garden at home.  I have also acquired two splendid blackcurrant bushes from a fellow allotment holder.  Luckily it rained after we planted them so they are looking pretty healthy.
I have also put in maincrop potatoes into my two other children's plots at the allotments.  So far the strawberries in the centre plot look as though they are doing pretty well, though I need to net them soon.








I have really enjoyed being out in the garden - grateful to be well enough to do it.
