So much for good intentions of keeping things up to date, a month has gone by since I last posted anything.
It was a month that saw Alison turn 50 and the stairwell almost completed, as I type here is a ladder/scaffolding blocking it quite well as we work on the unreachable bits.
Alison celebrated her birthday starting the day before with a trip to the V&A (Peter would have considered this mild torture so she went alone) followed by meeting Peter after work for a meal out. Her actual birthday was a quiet day with school in the morning and coffee and cake with a friend in the afternoon. Thursday saw her heading off to London once again to join her mum for a trip to Olympia and the stitch and craft show. Although it was a really good show it was interrupted when Alison's mum was admitted to hospital overnight with suspected heart problems. It turned out to be nothing and she came home with us on the Friday evening with a clean bill of health.
Alison is now busy using up all the craft supplies that she bought there.
Our other big news is that it looks like we will be aunty and uncle later this year as Alison's brother is to become a daddy. Our lounge now has a large ball of knitting wool in it as Alison knits a Jean Greehowe toy.
Alison has regular appointments with a physio for her arm which is improving really well.
Peter has started studying for his Microsoft exams and despite his allegiance to Linux is actually enjoying the study, if you ignore the few mutters. At present it is in his own time but he is hoping to go on a formal course later in the year.
