I have no idea where the time is going at the moment and I'm exhausted if I'm being honest. What with Zumba, swimming, running and dog walking I really ought to be sleeping like a baby but that isn't happening either. More is the pity!
So this last week has been another busy one. I went with a friend to see 'Our House' - a musical production based on the music of Madness - at a local theatre. The show was performed by a group of actors from a theatre and dance company and it really was brilliant. I would have paid good money to see it in London and to see it performed so well locally was a treat.
Monday was an evening Zumba class where I failed miserably to keep up with everyone but jumped about and kept active for an hour. Tuesday saw me sitting in the dentist's chair for an hour as my crumbling tooth was prepared for a crown. I had to have an injection which I wasn't expecting so that was rubbish. On Wednesday hubby went to Cheltenham races as he does every year and had a really good day. In the evening I went swimming with my daughter and swam with goggles for the first time ever!
Thursday was our theatre trip and I missed my first Weightwatchers meeting since the middle of January. This Thursday will tell if I have done too much damage. I fear my 12st 6lbs of two weeks ago may have crept a little but we shall see. Friday saw another catch up with a good friend who met the twins for the first time. On Saturday I had my hair cut and on Sunday we took part in the Sport Relief Mile.
Saturday also saw the unexpected delight of three of the older grandchildren coming to stay for the night. As usual I went to bed with them where we exchanged stories and where they asked me about what life was like when I was a little girl. This time I told them about Easters when I was young, about Dad always going to get freshly baked hot cross buns from the bakery and about long dog walks with family and friends at the local woods. Eventually, one by one, they all fell asleep and I disentangled myself from their limbs and took myself to the spare room where hubby was already sleeping. I ended up on a mattress on the floor for a few hours before the children were up and about and ready for the new day.
P.P.S. Young Sam is being an absolute darling and is so smiley. He is a gorgeous little man💙 I can't find a photo that does him justice but when I do I'm going to add it!! Xx

All this and so much more! I have been up and down to see my daughter and her babies too. Phoebe is doing quite well with her hearing aids but it is still a struggle for her to wear them without any whistling due to the poor fitting of the moulds. I wondered whether a crocheted headband might help and put a status up on Facebook about it as I don't crochet. I was thrilled with the response from people wanting to help so that was very positive. Phoebe has also been given a few pretty headbands with the idea of holding the hearing aids in and I think that is working quite well.
The twins have now got a proper cot in the bedroom that they share with Mummy and Daddy and are settling into that after spending the first 7 weeks of their lives in Moses baskets at night time. I'm not sure how that is going but I'm sure they will settle into their new bedtime routine very soon.
Medical appointments continue to arrive for Phoebe almost daily and a variety of specialists come out to visit the family every week. Along with those visits and the continuing visits from family and friends - and the time consuming efforts made to feed Phoebe- Mummy and Daddy are kept very, very busy.
That's it for now. Sorry it's not very exciting....almost too tired to do this blog justice today. Poor old Nanny!!

P.S. I just love this photo....Phoebe looking at the night light which is something she took little notice of before💕😊
