Darrel arrive Saturday morning with his BBQ face on and
made us a delicious lunch of BBQ garlic butter crayfish and salad. We had a fairly quiet weekend as I can't
drive far without taking a little nana nap but it was lovely sitting in the sun
and reading the weekend papers together.
Poor Darrel had to leave on the red eye flight on Monday morning to get
back to work. He was very lucky to make
it as two burly security guards pulled him aside at the hand luggage X-ray and asked
him if he was carrying any weapons. He
said "no" but then had some serious explaining to do when they found
the meat clever in his backpack! He had
forgotten to return it to the cutlery drawer in the apartment after chopping
the crayfish for lunch;)
On Sunday we discovered some new movement in my left
hand, the index finger and very useful rude middle finger. Very happy about that!
I have had a lovely few days with Kylie. On Tuesday night we had hot smoked salmon,
baby potatoes and beans which I was able to eat with the modified fork. There may still be a bit of salmon left in
the carpet and the beans outwitted me by disguising themselves in slippery
butter but all in all it was a success.
On Wednesday we went to Sono in the city where I managed a three point
turn in the lift only to be greeted by two huge steps. The restaurant manager bought out a portable
ramp which was fairly scary and defeated my driving skills. She then offered to have "a boy"
lift the chair (150kg plus me). We
settled for about 8 people pushing my chair up the ramp...lunch was worth
it. Go there!
The other exciting news is that I have booked to go on the scrabble cruise in July 2013. Darrel is coming and looking forward to trawling for mackerel from the balcony on P & O Dawn...
