Despite my romantic post a few weeks ago spring hasn't been pushing through - it's been incredibly rainy and today even stormy. Lots of wind, sometimes so hard it temporarily blows the clouds away so the sun can come through - but quickly the clouds return again.
I realized it is so different from last year - It was my birthday last 19th, and where last year I had people coming over to sit outside since it was so sunny and summery, this year everyone was sulking in their homes.
It didn't help a loved one had their second operation in a short time, so my b-day basically existed of waiting with my family members on that phone call that would relieve is of the anxiety that something went wrong - luckily everything went fine and so that was the most important part of my birthday - a healthy person, now on to recover from two operations in a few weeks time.
Just a short update and a flower pic - trying to get back to writing a bit more often.
