This morning I received another gorgeous bouquet of lilies and roses, this time from Lisa and her son Julian. They look absolutely gorgeous and smell even better. I'm so spoilt and really am fortunate to have so many thoughtful friends!I awoke this morning feeling much brighter than I did yesterday, which was a bit of a low day. I guess all the drugs and emotional turmoil and physical pain has to catch up from time to time. Today enjoyed a sleep in and breakfast in bed including a delicious fresh juice made and delivered by Robbie, before I had my one outing of the day, a trip to the supermarket. We invited Paulie, Geeta and Jai for dinner tonight, so it was nice to shop with a purpose. As I write this, the lamb has been in the oven for 7 hours so far and is looking delicious and the bread and butter pudding is ready to go.
Paulie and Geets arrived with more beautiful roses - I have now officially run out of vases! Jai is so adorable and seeing him play with his big cousins fills me with happiness. We had a lovely night catching up on each other's lives.Aside from some cooking - which I've enjoyed doing while listening to podcasts including two fun ones from Leigh Sales and Annabel Crab - I had a peaceful afternoon rest. My chest is still tight and sore, especially when lying or bending down or sneezing - oh my lord that hurts!
In honour of Paulie and Geets visit I'm wearing a lovely wrist wrap they gave me as a birthday gift a few years ago. I wear it often and love its sparkles. I'm also wearing today a new pair of earrings that arrived while I was in hospital from the wonderful Hilary Charlesworth who lives in Melbourne. Hilary is someone I hugely admire - she is a internationally renowned legal scholar with a piercing intelligence, and always carries herself with such grace, kindness and good humour. I was incredibly touched to receive her gift of earrings with filigree cut outs of the tree of life, which are so appropriate.
