That being said I've had a good day food-wise but realised when I was making my lunch this morning that I had cut back on food too quickly & that if I didn't buy some fruit & veg today I'd end up eating the spare pack of five Mars bars that Dom didn't take on his DofE trip!!!
So off I went to M&S before work & filled the trolley with what I needed only, thankfully, I stopped before getting to the till when I realised that I'd bought far too much for two of us!!!! Clearly the shape of things to come - but it just shows how we do these things so automatically. I used to laugh at my mum when Jo & I had left home and she was still cooking for 4 but I now see how easily it could be done!!
Spent a lot of time on the phone today as Dad's party invitations have been hitting peoples doormats - calls so far have been from 'aunties' & friends of mum and dad who have known me most of my life. It's been good to catch up and made me remember again that however 'difficult' dad is post-stroke we are very lucky to be celebrating his 80th birthday in October when we consider all he's been through - and I'm so lucky to still have my dad when so many haven't :)
So for those who don't know him - here's a picture of my lovely dad.
Have a good evening all
