If we were having Coffee: I would remind you that there are lots of other coffee mornings all shared and organized By Diana and Gene’O over at,Part time monster
Come on in it is nice to sit and have a chat after all the hustle and bustle of the past few days. I can still entertain you all with tea and coffee from all over the world not to mention all our cakes and muffins and as Paul calls them sweets! Every single one is calorie free! Plus of course we now have spirits and liquors to warm the coldest of you.
So, If we were having coffee : I am not sure where to start I would say I wish I was in my pajamas ….. but I am not like most things lately I don’t get what I want. I get what is good for me instead, or even worse what others think is good for me! Every man/woman and his dog thinks they know better than me. From wrapping me in cotton wool to nagging me to death!
If we were having coffee: I would tell you that on Monday Hubby and I went off to a little town about thirty miles away from where we live just to get out and have a break from the stresses of Mother in law being ill. We also took hubby’s car along to have it serviced at a specialist garage there.
We walked along the canal and looked at the beautiful cottages and Narrow Boats! We found the Parish Church called St Lawrence, and spent a lovely hour looking around inside and finding out how old and steeped in history it was! We even met a lady who was also “Just visiting” and she told us she lived in Devon now but had originally lived just three miles up the road from where we live now! Well what are the chances of that!
Some photos of our day.
After more walking we found a lovely coffee shop and had a cuppa and slice of cake! We both had a wonderful time and we popped in to see Mother in law on our way home, she is still doing well!! Though very concerned about her Lymphoma!
If we were having coffee : Tuesday I was at the gym but I had decided not to go early so I missed my gym buddy! Then after that we went over to see Mother in law ( hereafter to be known as MIL ) . Wednesday L, my gym buddy and great friend , and I went to our Pilates class which was hard work as ever then we had coffee and a long catch up! Then again over to check out MIL.
Thursday I had to go and see a specialist , I have been having a lot of stomach troubles and I am now being sick a lot. I have had all types of exams and finally I had an ultrasound scan which showed that I have a lot of debris in my gallbladder ………. I was hoping that they might remove my gallbladder well after three minutes of prodding I was told that the gallbladder was not bad enough to remove……… What? do Drs have Xray enabled fingers …how did he know from poking and prodding me?? Apparently all the pain and sickness and discomfort is referred pain from my back! ( spine now curved after breaking back )…….. Yes okay so I suppose I just have to get used to that all too now! Hey Ho! In the evening we had MIL over to us for dinner .
If we were having coffee : I would tell you that on Friday nothing much happened , apart from washing , ironing and cooking. Saturday core class and then over to see MIL with middle son!
Today, Sunday we Have MIL over for dinner again. As you can see it has been a MIL week.
If we were having coffee : I would have to apologize and ask where my manners are can I get you more coffee, tea, something to eat or an alcoholic drink?
Well Having finish JuJoJan organised by Linda G Hill at Life in Progress February has brought us Love Is In Da Bog organised by Just fooling around with Bee Imaagine a whole week done already!
I must dash now loads to do. Sorry if I am not commenting as much but my like does mean a lot I promise. I shall be back to normal as and when.
If we were having Coffee: I would have to say we are all sill waiting patiently for our dear Paul Curran to rejoin us here at the coffee share but until he is well enough and up and running again we shall have to bide our time!
For now everyone Be well and happy!

It’s a bugger about the back bladder conundrum. Hope you find some way of relief.
Feb 07, 2016 @ 08:19:19
Yes so do I , as usual it is left up to me to find a way to cope….. And I will. Thanks for reading as I said having a moan because I am feeling down !! 😦 xx

Stomach problems are awful. I have had the most of my life. I hate it when the doctors tell you to go home and rest.
Feb 07, 2016 @ 17:39:25
I am sorry to hear you have suffered so long, I what you mean about platitudes! Be well xxx
Feb 07, 2016 @ 16:07:07
Willow, sorry to hear that the pain is unresolved. I had tummy issues back in early 2000s and went thru gallbladder and stones removal. It didn’t do a bit of good and was very unpleasant so at least they haven’t lined you up for that.
Hopefully, you’ll get to the bottom of it. I’m sure all the recent stress isn’t helping.
Take it as easy as you can.
Love the pics and miss Paul too. xx

Thanks Jean your right at least I don’t have to go through surgery. I am sorry to hear you had such an awful experience. Perhaps I had a lucky escape. Stress may well be a factor and hell knows there is enough of that about lately! I wish you a lovely week Jean thanks for your support as ever! ❤
Feb 07, 2016 @ 20:37:42
Willow, let’s hope it is stress-related and that the stress can be reduced as much as possible. xxx
Feb 07, 2016 @ 21:59:44
Well that would be preferable to the alternative which could mean my spine collapsing which was mention as something that could happen……………….. fingers toes and arms crossed!! 😉
Feb 08, 2016 @ 10:48:52
I’ll be keeping mine crossed for you too!

Sounds like a nice day early on in your week, but I can sympathize with having to live with uncomfortable medical issues.
Just visiting from a few of the blogging link ups you mentioned.
Feb 07, 2016 @ 17:21:02
Hi I hope you have enjoyed the links. Monday was lovely we both enjoyed it . As for the medical issues, well as for mine I shall just have to cope. As for mother in law the same I shall just have to cope. 🙂 here have another coffee and let’s relax. xxx

Sorry to hear about everyone’s health problems, feel better soon. Thanks for sharing your lovely slideshow with us! I hear people experience more illness during the winter due to lack of sun. Try traveling to warmer destinations and soak in the sunshine, perhaps a tropical vacation! All the best Willow. 🙂
