Our new Christmas mugs! Spruced up for my blog! Does look much better with that foamy cream
Ok friends I am going to speak my blog today as I have been gone for well over two weeks, not gone gone, just gone from blogging!
On the Tuesday following my last blog I'd gone out for a walk along the canal and on my return not far from home I took a step off the curb and fell onto the road, both my knees and both my wrists and hands took a really hard knock, and as it was the weekend after I built 5 or 6 items of furniture from IKEA, I was already feeling the effects of that.
I picked myself up off the road and continued over I stopped by a car wash and the girl that works there came over to check I was okay, she asked me if I wanted a cup of coffee but I said as I was so near to home I would just get back, but thanked her.
So still two weeks and a day after falling I still have a bruised left knee and a lump I can't kneel on my left knee at all and I do feel I should have gone to urgency, but there is no way after my recent visits to urgency but I plan on going anytime soon.
I realise I may have seriously damaged my patella, but I'm just going to leave it for a while longer.
I have which you will not have noticed on here as you only get to know what I write that, I have moved into a house not too far from my sons, it is just a short train and tram ride away and can be there within an hour, I am in Derbyshire now just over the border literally just a few minutes from the M1 motorway.
I am watching all the Christmas crap, sorry I mean wonderful Christmas movies that I watch every year, and last few days watching Harry Potter movies, I am listening to all the books on Amazon audio what's it called, Audible of course that's what it's called!
I am missing home home home, nope saying it's three times does not get me back I thought I would try!
The weather hasn't been too bad a few days of rain here all there but still really mild 12 degrees the other day, maybe this house is quite warm.
On Sunday at at sons, we all went into town three grandparents and three children, I am including my son in the children section!
We had a great time wandering around the shops, we had lunch at McDonald's and I now am a proud owner of the Grinch socks, as advertised on TV! They are odd socks which works perfectly for me as I always wear, odd socks!
We got back home thank Cassie and I had an hour before we headed back out on the tram, and back into town, we had tickets for Wicked two, we popped into a nearby Tesco's supermarket and picked up sweets and water comma and still early, as my son had predicted! We then wondered into a store not far from the cinema that Cassie wanted to go in, it's a great store quite goth filled with jewelry unusual clothes unusual bits and pieces, we wondered around on the ground floor then Cassie said let's go downstairs, so I followed her down.
She was ahead of me on the stairs and at the bottom of the stairs looked in front of her and to the left at the shelving there, I was still walking down and looked across to my right where I saw a man behind the counter, he looked at me and I immediately read his expression I hadn't realized quite how psychic I am! I looked to the right of him, and the shelving there! I said to my granddaughter come on let's go, and she complained but turned around and headed up the stairs in front of me, the guy at the counter nodded and I nodded back.
My granddaughter complained that I hadn't allowed her to carry on looking around the shop, and I said to her that it would be another 10 years before I would go in that shop again with her at least downstairs, or even tell her why!
As I tried not to laugh out loud I couldn't help smiling, when I thought of the interaction between the shopper assistant and myself as he tried and succeeded in getting me to see, the huge array of adult toys that were on the shelf down in that corner!!!
So funny, a real memory moment, then of course we headed into the cinema, we were screen two of the Broadway Cinema in Nottingham and the seats were plush comfortable didn't fold in half when Cassie moved around, a year ago when we went at a different screen the seat kept trying to swallow her up!
No I don't know if I have caught up yet really with everything, I have left my lock up, I have at last retrieved all my belongings, there seems to be some things missing although I haven't actually opened all of the wrappings yet.
Time will tell, and it seems strange to see my things somewhere other than home I think, it's not just been falling over, but my head has been in a strange place, still is.
I sometimes just wish , I just wish so much that life hadn't forced my path to change, and saying this out loud now, makes it so much more difficult, because I feel like I'm talking to friends and therefore my eyes are now leaking!
Let's change the subject! Christmas is nearly upon us we have advent calendars to open, we have the wonderful Christmas adverts on the TV, and I genuinely mean that actually.
I had missed the Christmas adverts which also break the heart, I am enjoying I'm a celebrity get me Out of Here, it is really the only thing that I watch like that on TV.
I am wandering how many mistakes have been made whilst I speak into my phone, it doesn't always pick up exactly what I'm saying, and maybe, it never picks up what I'm thinking.
Time to end for today, apologies for my lateness, must try better! Now it's time for another cup of coffee and back to Harry Potter!

I wonder, How much love in this world Hides behind silence?
