This is the lovely Marilyn on crutches. Sadly I've looked decidedly less glamorous as I've hobbled round school for the last week. There was a low point on Thursday evening when I had to hang around for four hours to play one short piano accompaniment in the Key Stage 3 Prize Evening. There was an even lower point on Friday morning when torrential rain got the better of me somewhere between my classroom and the Head's Office. I staggered into the meeting, apologising for looking like a bag lady...
"My Dear Jan," the Head replied smoothly. "Bag Ladies don't wear Berghaus!"
It didn't make me feel much better... The coat in question was a present from Mark about seven years ago. It is well-used, much loved and well on the way to being extremely scruffy. The Head was just being polite ~ bless him!
Anyway, things are looking up in our household. Mark went back to work today. I also did most of today off crutches. I have an immensely busy next few days - concerts, parent's evening, a fashion show and the Prom - so it's been a relief to be able to move around unhindered. In all this chaos I haven't been posting much, but it's been lovely to read everyone else's news.
Glad to hear that your foot is on the mend and that Mark has gone back to work.That does sound like a busy few days - it will soon be the end of term!
ReplyDeleteI hope Mark's day went well. Delighted to hear that you are on the mend. Take care not to overdo things, especially being as busy as you are.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photo of Marilyn....so glad both of you are doing better. It sounds like a very busy time for you.
ReplyDeleteCrutches and rainy days do not mix. So glad to hear you both are doing better. Be careful. Bonnie
ReplyDeleteHi Jan,
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear that the two of you are on the mend, just think of that lovely school summer break to look forward to.
Pretty busy here myself getting homeschooled youngest son through his IGCSE's................but will try and post the gluten-free choux recipe in the next couple of weeks.x
So glad to hear that you're both on the mend, Jan. It sounds like you're incredibly busy at the moment so try not to overdo things. I bet you're looking forward to the summer holidays now, it sounds like you'll definitely be ready for a break.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your news about both of you. It must be hard to navigate with crutches and still keep up with your job.Take care, Balisha
ReplyDeleteHope you continue to improve and so glad your husband back at work.
