The idea was to get away from it all, relax and enjoy doing nice things with my daughter.....the theory was wonderful, the reality was different!! But I did enjoy being with her...painting her bedroom and bathroom......buying her new glasses which she definitely deserved and through which her world will become much clearer I am sure!!!........watching movies with Heathcliff.....losing another kilo because we didn't go out anywhere or eat anything that wasn't on my diet (well, a couple of glasses of the old white wine were entirely necessary m'dears) ....rearranging her total downstairs living space.........all in all, a completely different weekend from the one that included a day out in Manchester for example.............but as someone said to me when I got home: 'this is what being a parent is'. True. And I was happy to do it for her of course, despite every bone and muscle aching in my body, the joints stiffening as I type, and the prospect of sleeping one I totally relish right at this minute! But I am a parent to another child, who is working this evening, and in need of a lift home when his shift finishes, and I am still waiting for that call to come in!!!!
Photos will appear once I have the time and energy to post them!!!
