Grandma is still very weak after her recent illness but she is a wee trouper and has started to eat and drink a little so we have been tempting her with tasty treats to try to stimulate her appetite. I have also got her some “build-up”drinks which are she is doing her best to quaff. The physiotherapist has given her some exercises so we have been practising them together every day, and quite often she just likes to hold my hand and chat. She is surrounded by family and friends and we are all rooting for her.
I’m still making an effort to walk at least five kilometres a day, and I have had some very pleasant walks in the last few days, because the weather has continued to be unseasonably mild. I visited the cute Dandelion Café in Newlands Park with Jackie and was recognised by a former pupil. This happens to me a lot, but unusually I had taught this pupil more than twenty years ago at Airdrie Academy so I’m surprised that she recognised me! Yesterday I went for a stroll around Queen’s Park. It was absolutely idyllic with not a cloud in the sky, and there were people doing yoga on the grass. And today I went for a brisk walk at Whitelee Wind Farm with Kathryn followed by well-earned scones and coffee, and I was delighted that it was warm enough to sit outside on the terrace of the visitors’ centre in the sunshine without even the need for a jacket. Is it really Spring?
