Asymetical Me

Hi Col, it's Me!  I'm sorry these are few and far between, just seem to have lost my will to write for now, I hope it's only for now.

 I'm on leave and I feel so much less stressed than usual.  Just had a weekend down South with my amazing friends there but it seemed a bit fraught.  I always tell them; don't drop everything because I'm coming down, they are all busy and they all have lives of their own and I  know how precious weekends are, this time, yep, I clashed with 'life' and I didn't get to see everyone as much as possible but that IS life. 

I saw the kiddos who are now almost 8, almost 4 and a very gummy but hugely charming almost 2.  I love those kids.  I know that they don't know me from Adam but they are very dear to my heart, as are their parents.

Visited Jane Austen's house at Chawton on Friday, it was amazing to walk the same floor boards.  200 years since her death.  Met a lovely couple there on honeymoon from Ohio.  All I could conjure was 'fields?' That's all I know of Ohio but it sounds beautiful.  I imagines waves of wheat, wafting in the breeze.  They were doing a whistle stop tour of the UK.

So I flew down from Thursday to Sunday evening, Jan collected me from the airport on Sunday night.  Had to practically throw myself in the road in front of Jan, it's drop off/pick up only with no waiting/loitering allowed, so if you miss them, or can't scramble to the front of the crowd, you have to wait for your ride to circle the airport again. 

Monday I had a busy day.  Jan has CJ's daughter Monday's and Thursday's so Monday, I'd planned to be there as much as possible.  Arrived at Jan's about 9.30, Everly can now say my name... be still my heart, what a difference three months has made.  I spent an hour playing in the garden.  I was worried that Everly may have forgotten me but she was happy to give me kisses and to sit on my knee and to be lifted up by me.  Doesn't seem like five minutes since her Dada was in my arms.

At 11, I had physio finally for my hip thing.  Physio thinks it probably was Bursitis and has given me exercises to do, (I need to strengthen core mainly.)  She asked if I'd broken any bones in my youth, turns out I'm asymmetrical.  Knee creases in line, dimples on bum in line but one hip is higher than the other so irregularity is in my femur bone.  I have lots of asymmetries, I think it's because I was a later in life baby... or maybe I'm just 'different' ;)
