Mixed Up Saturday

 

Good Saturday Morning Ladies, 

What are you all up to this weekend?  We are busy doing holiday prep,  making lists, packing what bits we can.  

I have to do:

Medical bag, which has all of my medication,  plus the usual bits you take on holiday,  I have always taken Anthisan for insect bites and a pen that is pure ammonia I think, it works great for getting relief from mosquito bites etc.  Both of these things are purely because my Mum used to take the same when we were children,(not that they ever went abroad).  Then I always take Imodium, paracetamol, Ibuprofen and a medical kit that has all plasters, dressings etc. Oh and a tiny pot of Sudocrem. 

Overnight Bag, which has everything we need for three days on the road.  I have a bag that I put toiletries etc in and enough medication for those 3 days. 

Then we have clothes,  Paul and I share a big holdall, Paul would be happy with a carrier bag though 🤣😂.  

We take some food basics, cereal etc as the supermarkets in Spain (where we go) have mostly naff cereals like Coco pops,  all very sweet!   We also take a couple of decent knives, jug, good frying pan (as theirs are rubbish), chopping board as they only have wood ones and it freaks me out that people could have chopped raw meat on it as it's the only one,  since lockdown/covid we have taken our own cutlery etc too. 

The rest is down to Paul to remember! 

As I have said before,  I do leave it until last resort to ask someone else for help,  we all have our weaknesses,  mine is 100% feeling like I'm a burden, now I know my family would say I am being silly,  however that doesn't stop me from feeling that way.  An example : Soph was really struggling to get the wheelchair into her car because Lucy was coming with us to Bladder Clinic because we were going straight to hairdressers after,  I just wanted to tell her to leave the wheelchair,  I'd manage somehow,  but with Lucy's assistance she got it on.  I just felt terrible 😪.   10 minutes down the road it was all forgotten about. 

Witney Pride Post Box Topper

I'm not sure who creates these incredible creations,  they must be constantly knitting or crocheting,  the details are amazing,  those darling hedgehogs are my favourite,  they even include bunting, pride flags and lots of rainbows. 🤩

Then Soph and I went somewhere different for brunch last week and they had different knitted ir crocheted flowers on each table....

Our table had lavender and a tulip, there were so many different ones on different tables,  I couldn't photograph them as people were sitting at them. 

Then there was a table with pastries for sale and they had these lovely Sunflowers and Daffodils. 

I hope that you all have a lovely Saturday,  

Love and hugs to all,

Sandra xxx
