Lainie's 8th birthday

Well today is Lainie's birthday, she has been so excited for so long that we were all willing it to come quicker!!
Stella could not get her to sleep until gone 2300 last night and she was awake at 0630 this morning. we were there to pick them up at 1200 and took them to Homeleigh Garden Centre for lunch as a quick stand in due to the weather, the original plan was to go to either Widemouth Bay or Roadford Lake for a picnic lunch but alas true to form for July this year we had to change the plans due to rain!
We were a little early and so had a drink before our lunch and ice cream for afters. We were a little surprised by the quality and taste of the ice cream, it was superb! and well worth the price of £1.60 for 2 scoops!!!


Lainie very much enjoying her strawberry ice cream.

We then from there went home to St. Giles to take some shopping back and pick up binoculars before going on to Roadford Lake for a wander to try and wear Lainie out. What a waste of time that was she wore us out as usual haha! It was then back to the bungalow for tea and then home to Launceston for Stella and Lainie.

One thing I think this day has shown to me is just how weak Stella still is and unless she starts to build her strength up by doing something other than sitting around feeling sorry for herself it is going to stay that way. She talks about going back to work next week, it is not going to happen, well certainly not at this rate!!!!

Oh and for anyone interested I finished the antibiotics today and my tooth has improved, at least I am not taking so many pain killers. It is tender to the touch but bearable. Still only have to last until Thursday and it is history!!
