Cazzle's Blurty

I am a good granddaughter.
I just called my grandma for the first time in ages, because she sent me a get well card this week. We had a nice long chat, and she sounded quite pleased. She had a (few) moan(s), of course, but she sounded happy all the same.
My Grandad's had a hearing aid put in - which I knew - but he also has tinnitus, which I did not know. He sold his car because the tinnitus is so bad he gets dizzy. Which is quite worrying. We also compared walking-with-sticks woes. Cripples R Us, honestly. It's at times like this I feel that I should live nearer to home, so I could take them shopping. On the other hand, they do have three grown-up children in the area (or they will when my mum gets back from France). Also, I discovered that my female cousin is apparently in Southampton doing a PGCE, which I had no idea about.

I walked (sans crutches) to Little Sainsbury's yesterday, which is about half a mile and normaly a 7-minute walk. It took me 15-20. And I wasn't walking so much as limping/shuffling, but I did it! I treated myself to a Wispa Gold, mostly for the nostalgia. And then I called Matt so he would pick me up and drive me back to the house. I was ok, but this morning my leg was extremely stiff and the foot rather painful. I really don't think I'll be back at work on Wednesday. This means I really need to get a GP appointment tomorrow. I don't think I've seen the doctor so much in my life as I have in the last month! Sorry, NHS.

Finally, in wedding news, we went to a wedding fair thing and were aghast at the things they will try to charge you for at certain venues. Tealights on the tables? That'll be £1 each. Knife to cut your cake? That'll be £25. You want to breathe our oxygen? That'll be your right arm, please. On the other hand, there was a marquee and we're pretty sure that's what we want. It was beautiful, the atmosphere was perfect, and the way the light filters through the material makes it so lovely and airy and gorgeous. We might get married by 2015, at this rate, if we're lucky! ;)
