Hello everyone! Now this is a new departure for me so fingers crossed that all goes well . Pause for sharp intake of breath and nervous shuffle from those among you with more delicate dispositions!

I have stared a new weekly challenge called If we were having coffee which is meant to go out every Sunday ( sometimes and I am late and it goes out on Monday!) . The original idea came from Diana AKA part time monster .
Okay now you know what I am talking about. I want to introduced to you Paul If you have , and I hope you have, followed the link on Paul’s name you will find out that Paul has a Gavatar but not blog!
Through no fault of his own Paul ‘s laptop will not play at blogs nicely. This means he cannot contribute any posts but he does read our work and comment !
Well, Paul left a comment on my blog on 20th July which was worthy of a blog , as I have noticed many of his comments are. So Paul and I have agreed that he will email me an “If we were having coffee” in time for me to post it on Sunday,
So welcome to Paul. Pause for applause!
Today is Tuesday, well it is here, but so as not to beat about the bush anymore here is Paul‘s comment promoted to
GUEST BLOG.

If we were having coffee I would tell you that:
Your new Grandbaby is amazing Willow. I thought that smiling and sleeping through the night were behaviours that occurred later on. He sure is awesome.
I’ll have that cuppa now, if you don’t mind. This week was relatively good for me. No bad news. I managed to get my medications (vitamins and such) and I feel much better. Dialysis went well this week – little pain and good runs with few interruptions. I picked up some bread and have enough to get me through to my next disability cheque.
The ceiling is still leaking bad when it rains hard but the manager has promised to get it fixed. He has also promised to replace the wallboard and ceiling where it is molding from all the water. Here’s hoping he keeps his word.
No luck on the job front, but it’s been over 2 years of trying now and with my age and health issues, I doubt anyone will want to hire me. Like I said, no more bad news this week, and that is good.
I’ll have another cuppa if you will – thirsty today. Ha! I popped over to Grandmalin to wish her my best – from one cancer survivor to another. She seems in a good mood today, but as she noted, some days are better than others. I guess we have to appreciate what we have and be grateful. It seems to be a part of the answer.
I’m sad that your in-laws are upsetting you. I don’t know what to say. At least your hubby will be better shortly – bad luck getting food poisoning. I’ve had it before when travelling and it is terrible – please give him my best. When he is better perhaps it will take some of the in-law pressure off of you. Meanwhile you have your new Grandbaby to coo over (at least in photos). I never did have any children so it is a pleasure I’ll never have. Enjoy.
And how is your garden coming? Do you get many butterflys visiting? It must be very relaxing to have your coffee in the garden surrounded by all that beauty.
Well, I’ve had my two cups of coffee and have to go now, it is a long way home. 😀 I really enjoyed our chat and I hope we get to do it again sometime. You should make this coffee time a regular feature – just to keep in touch. Take Care and I’ll see you next time Willow.
