We were celebrating Tam's pregnancy, and Gabby insisted she had a Baby Shower. She opened the gifts from us here at the house (Gabby had bought on my behalf as that was easiest for me). The baby clothes brought tears to my eyes and made the coming birth (around a month away) seem real for the first time. I have been constantly distracted by caring for and worrying about Keith so it's all gone on over my shoulder, so to speak.
Then we met up for lunch in Rhayader. Various friends and family. The two respective grannies at the far end. First grandchild for both of us. She's sat next to Ellie, one of Tam's best friends from school days. I'm sat next to one of Tam's friends from Aber (whose name evades me), then Tam, and then Emma. "I" came too and was very good and made a conquest with the young man playing on the kitchen toy.
I am the shrunken one on the right!! I think I just had the lowest chair :)
My two gorgeous daughters.

Shattered now as I have been very hard at work all morning (6 hours) - cat litter - two trips out to empty the tub as it was full from yesterday compost caddy emptied and washed; two lots of washing - one D&E's as they are away today, so eleventy odd socks to hang up again; taking car down to get new wiper blades fixed as the old ones had shredded, and I got the paper and sorted out a prescription at the same time; lots of recycling and taking a heavily laden wheelie bin for a walk to the end of the lane. Plus helping Keith with his breakfast and lunch and emptying a Georgian drain (which are very basic soakaways and soon get blocked.)
Now, back to sewing that crawler quilt. Blocks roughly laid out on the bed. Only definite was the darkest ones each became corner blocks. First two rows sewn up and looking good.
