It's been a little while so I thought I would give a little update on what we've been doing. We haven't left the country since arriving back from our trip home to Australia. We were supposed to head to Finland for a weekend, but as I bent over to pick something up one morning, my back decided to spasm and left me bed-bound for the weekend. So no Finland; and strangely enough, Alun, Anecia and Jodie also didn't make it to Finland because the Stansted Express decided to let them not get to the airport in time - so none of us made it!
So it was time for morgan to live up to his "in sickness and in health" vows as my back caused so much pain I couldn't do anything - he had to move me, roll me over, cook for me, give me deep-heat massages, frequently refill my hot water bottle, ring the doctor, fetch me pain killers - and he was great! He cooked every night for about a week, and since then he cooks quite often now. So, in a way, hooray for the back injury! ;) Unfortunately it's been 6 weeks and I'm still recovering so am now seeing a physio who has me doing exercises & swimming to improve things. Hopefully that will be soon as I haven't been sleeping very well what with having to move a hot water bottle around my entire aching back each night!
The weather has been pretty good and there's been lots of sun, which means it's really cold! We have been to Regent's Park, shopping around Oxford street, walking around the west end, having lunch at our favourite pub 'The Dove', walking around Bayswater and visiting portobello road markets over the past weekends. Also everything is starting to flower which makes me very happy seeing all the lovely crab-apple, magnolia and other trees in flower plus all the daffodils in the parks!
We've also been to see Fulham FC play Aston Villa at Craven Cottage which is a 10 minute walk from our house! We're going again next weekend to see them play Everton and watch our very own Tim Cahill play! We saw Jimeon with Jon & El; went to a cocktail bar with people from church; went on a church weekend away to Newport Pagnell last weekend; walked around Woburn Abbey & had cream teas; had dinner at a Polish restaurant; and have been working hard!
Morgan got me an extremely awesome digital piano for my birthday and the other weekend we went to Denmark street and bought morgan an acoustic bass. He was pretty excited to find a whole street of music shops and a whole store dedicated to bass instruments! Tonight we're going to celebrate my birthday with dinner at a risotto bar which I'm really looking forward to. Also in a couple of weeks is Easter and we're going to go to Portugal, so the next time you hear from us we'll have some stories to tell!
That's it for now, here's some photos - esther :)
