I have something really good on my calendar for later this week. When I was 10 I belonged to The Monkees fan club - I loved Davy Jones! There was an article in the fan club magazine asking if people wanted a pen pal and I signed up straight away. I was matched with a girl called Cindy who lived in Chicago and we are still in touch today, 57 years later! We have met three times and on Thursday we will be meeting up again. She is visiting London on her way to join a cruise ship in Southampton and has a day free when Paul and I are going to go into London to meet up with her and her husband. How exciting!!!
In other news, I finished the sweater I was crocheting
So I am now starting a new project which will be a blanket for Rosie. The chenille yarn is ordered and I am keen to get going on it. One of the great bonuses about joining my Knit and Natter group is that as well as making new friends, it is encouraging me to always have a project on the go.
I ordered some new glasses a couple of weeks ago and they are now ready to collect so I am looking forward to that. I haven't needed a new prescription for four years so I am kind of fed up with these frames, I have definitely had my money's worth out of them! Glasses are so expensive around here. I need to have varifocals and the actual lens costs about double the cost of the frames. Every time I go they mention the fact that I have the beginnings of cataracts but they aren't bad enough to operate on at the moment. I'm in no hurry as I am squeamish about eyes. You know the test they do for glaucoma where they puff a jet of air into your eye? I cannot stop myself from jolting backwards when they do that, it's a good job the chair isn't on wheels or I'd be bouncing off the wall!
I hope you have a good week planned. I'm already thinking about what we are going to do in London, I'm sure the time will fly by and don't want to waste a minute! I'll report back next week.
