I'm typing this whilst admiring the hard work of the decorator who painted our hall, landing and stairs last week. We didn't realise how tatty the woodwork had become until he started painting over it - what we had thought of as white had actually dulled to a pale cream. Not any more! So we have a week's break now and then he'll return to do the lounge and dining room.
So the big thing to happen unexpectedly last week was the Northern Lights being seen in our skies.
I honestly never thought I would see them so what a lovely surprise.
I'm pleased to report that we had no reactions to our flu vaccination other than an ache in the arm for a couple of days. I'm relieved that we were feeling well as we unexpected had L & R sleeping over here on Wednesday night - after a day of looking after our other granddaughter, it would not have been good if I'd been feeling under par.
Other unexpected (by us) news is that our son has a new family member. A springer spaniel who has been named Mario - yes the children were allowed to choose his name! Boy are they going to be kept busy by that.
So this week sees me taking Olive to the theatre. Nothing too highbrow for her first theatre experience - The Tiger Who Came to Tea. I'm hoping she will enjoy it! I'll let you know how it goes next week.
As for today, I'm hoping that the rain will stop soon and it will be more pleasant walking around town picking up Olive's birthday present and card. Have a good week!

It's amazing how a fresh coat of paint can make everything look new again. We have also had painters in to do some wallpaper stripping & painting. How nice that Mario has come to live with your son & his family - let's hope that Coco doesn't feel pushed out if you should need to puppy sit, as a springer spaniel is a whole other type of energy than Daisy (col). How lovely you are introducing Olive to the theatre - fingers crossed it starts a new tradition.
