Feeling Shocked
BROADBAND
Hi again, I am now somehow connected to broadband via wireless, so not sure if this will work.
We had a family wedding a couple of weeks ago,and my son was asked to drive the bride and her father to the chapel in an American jeep.It has been in the family for years and was quite an eye opener when it rolled up with the bride and her father..
as the chapel is along a country lane where tractors and horses are the usual ,but then when has anything been 'usual' here! there was an American influence in the family which I expect appealed to the happy couple. The weather was glorious,and they were lucky because the next day it rained heavily.
I haven't been doing much,although I did go to Cardiff with a friend last weekend. We went by coach and although the scenery was stunning from North to South, my legs were aching from sitting for hours. Cardiff has changed so much since I last went,it has so many interesting sights like ,the Millenium ...sorry cant spell it.. but a few weeks before my neighbour from the next farm was in the winning choir that sang at the M stadium in front of thousands of people as Wales proudly won the rugby and she said it was amazing when the players entered the field with the trophy.Prince William was there which also made her day as he heard her sing.I must admit, I recorded the whole thing and believe me it gave me goosepimples listening to the choirs.Wales does produce some of the finest choirs...I saw Charlotte Church in the audience as she clapped loudly for her Gavin...
Now the weather is almost behaving as summer should, think the bbq can come out of hiding.We didn't manage one last year, so hope the rain holds off.My friend from America is coming on the 20th with her daughter and boyfriend, so a 'barby' would be fun and yet I think the wooden chairs and bench will need a bit of tlc as they have been out in all weathers, hope they haven't rotted..ha ha...
My weight is still up and down by a few pounds,as you know I am taking the hormone drug after my cancer, and it seems , whatever I eat, to go on my tummy, but everyone tells me that I am looking healthy,so although I am a stone heavier since my op,I don't mind.I still try to eat healthy meals and make an effort because I don't want to go back to the way and weight I was. I just know that I am lucky to still be here writing this.
Now I have this new technology in broadband,I can read other blogs without having to wait ages and ages for them to open.
Hope all are well and continue with your blogs as they are interesting and like meeting old friends
All for now

Good to hear from you again and that you are well. I'm doing The Race for Lifed today at Sandwell Valley, with some friends and my sister and niece. My sister had breast cancer 18 years ago at the age of 33. She's going to be running today. I shall just be huffing and puffing. LOL.
Lots of love,
Linda xx.
