Saturday

How I love Saturday. I've been reading the SMH (paper) & I am still in my slippers - after midday!!! How lazy!!!

I am having a restful day after a busy few days. D went in for the opening of the new Apple store in the city on Thursday night. (See left) I think he had a blast with some of his best mates. He came home with his free t-shirt & an umbrella. We spoke for a while & he seemed OK...but then awoke about midnight & was violently ill. For about an hour I was pacing the floor, getting v-bags & reliving days from last year...so my Friday changed dramatically from shopping at Miranda, to caring for the sickie after getting both the kids to their days & shopping for things he might need...big sigh... He was so distressed & white, it brought back so many memories & that 'get it together' feeling because-you-need-to-help-him-even- though-you-feel-scared! I don't know what he ate, but it certainly upset his gut...another reminder that he needs to be careful & is still fragile...

He spent the day in bed but seemed a lot better by last night. Tonight he was booked to play piano at a friend's album launch...he has gone & said he thinks he can do it. If he takes it easy he should be OK...but I wish he wasn't going. I wish I could wrap him cotton wool & lock him in the house, but I know I need to let him live & do things he wants to do. But it's hard...it would be hard at the last minute for her to get a pianist & I know he feels a sense of obligation...but it's hard not to worry about him...

We all look forward to heading into the new Apple store at some stage as it just sounds fantastic!!!!!!! Lots of computer bays set up for kids all set with fun things to do. I bet the kids would have a blast...me too. 

It's Bonnie's turn to pick colour of the week & she chose: PINK!! Of course. Eric already wants to change to something else for his turn...Pink is probably appropriate for this week - for the birthday girl. Can't believe she turns 7 soon. It was only yesterday I was lying in L&D waking up after a snooze/resting as the sun came up & D was in the big chair next to me cuddling his new daughter. It was a memorable moment...that beautiful little pink face - so contented...our little Bonnie Maree!!! 

P.S. Oh & I love the wonderful pictures at Swallowfield!
